The Truth is Stranger Infotopic

This is the Disclaimer for the upcoming RP, The Truth is Stranger, and action/thriller RP revolving around a secret organization known as The Strangers, who battle malevolent, supernatural beings. The story will be posted in the RP topic, but this is the section that will include creatures and the standard equipment for a Stranger.

Brief Explanation of the Stab in the Dark Universe, where The Truth is Stranger takes place: The Stab in the Dark universe is much like the real world, save the fact that secret culture of supernatural beings and empowered individuals, unknown to the rest of the world. Some of these supernatural creatures are malevolent, or vicous animals. The Strangers are a group of individuals who, while having no powers, have the equipment and knowledge to dispatch these creatures.

Malevolent Beings(New ones can be suggested):

Soul Eaters: Soul Eaters are mimics. They look identical to the average human being, whether they be a man, women, or child. They cannot take any other forms, or even change their clothing. Once you get close, you may notice that there is a line running down the middle of the Soul Eater's face and horizontally across the Soul Eater's face The face can open up along these lines, revealing rows of razor sharp teeth and a circular maw. They use this to devour not only the flesh of their victim, but also the victim's soul. They cannot speak, and have basic, animalistic intelligence. They are frequently found in large groups. While they are slightly more durable then the average human, a shotgun blast or a few shots from a pistol can easily put them down.

"Smart" Soul Eaters: Smart Soul Eaters are named as such for their human-level intelligence. They are a Soul Eater's superior in every way, able to alter their appearance, and able to speak. They are also far more durable. They cannot be harmed with normal weaponry until they have been softened up with salt-filled buckshot. Fire can also kill them.

Ghoul: Ghouls are pale, stinking humanoids with large, pupiless eyes. They are disgustingly thin and their bones are often visible through their skin. They have large teeth and hooked claws. Ghouls are commonly found in graveyards, where they feed on the dead and rotting. This causes them to have their characteristic smell of rot. A worse effect of this is that Ghouls are heavily diseased, and any wounds caused by a Ghoul require immediate treatment and sterilization. Ghouls are incapable of speech, and are very rarily found in groups of more then three. They are sensitive to light, and are frightened of fire. They are weaker then the average human and can be easily killed.

The Slender Man: No one knows much on this one. Only a few rumors and stories, all of them nasty. It always has a suit, always has the skin tone of paper, and has no face at all. It is always extremely thin, but its height and number of limbs can vary. Keep an eye out for this one, because we need more info on it.

Werewolf: Pretty standard. A human who becomes a violent, wolf-like monster every full moon. They are fairly intelligent and very strong. They are quite durable, cabable to taking several shotgun blasts. However, the silver bullet truely is a myth. It is possible to cure a werewolf, by feeding them a pill of wolfsbane and silver nitrate. However, it is extremely difficult to get this pill to them, as they have to be in wolf form for it to work. Caution must be used when dealing with werewolves, as a single bite will convert the bitten into a new werewolf.

Vampire: Vampires aren't much like the Hollywood version. In humanoid form, they are quite similer, pale humans who feed on blood. However, if they face withdrawl from blood, they violently transform into a hideous bat-like monster, who kills and drinks blood until the cravings have been saitiated. Being completely drained of blood by a Vampire in any form will, instead of killing you, turn you into a new vampire. Vampires tend to be highly intelligent, but many are also cold, cruel, and emotionally detached. They are as durable as any human in human form, but can take an incredible amount of punishment when in mnoster form.

Temptress: Temptresses earned themselves a nickname in a couple religons: The Succubus. They are, in physical appearance, highly sexualized female humans. To look upon them is to fall under their spell. Anyone who looks directly at a Temptress, regardless of if they are male or female, will immediatly want nothing else in life but to have sex with her. She will grant this wish, but in turn, those who fall under this spell labor as slaves, murdering and stealing for the Temptress. Upon a Temptress' death, any who were under her spell for shorter then three weeks will recover; any who were under it for longer will commit suicide. A mirror is reccomended when dealing with a Temptress, as you can use their reflection to see them. They can be killed by any means.

Spirits: You'd think, with the fact that ghosts don't exist, that spirits wouldn't exist, either. Unfortunatly, that is not true. Spirits are creatures that have never had a body. Some can become physical, and all of them can manipulate objects. Spirits can be good or evil. Spirits are usually tied to an item, so destroying that item will force the spirit to leave the area. Spirits are unkillable.

Krakan: Krakans are your good old sea monsters. Brisltling with tentecles and a mouth with a fleshy sheath, Krakans are powerhouses of destruction. They have the intelligence of a very agressive and bloodthirsty dog, and can grow to be well over a hundred feet. They have an extremely high amount of resistance to conventional weapons. Fire, if you can hit the Krakan before it submerges, is useful. Explosives can prove damaging to a Krakan as well. Luckily, full-grown Krakans are very rarely in any place that can pose any danger. Young Krakans may end up in sewers and wreak havoc on the streets above, but they are much weaker and easier to kill then and adult.

Dragon: Dragons come in all shapes and sizes. None of them are evil, they are instead extremely neutral, disregarding anything that does not effect them. They are highly intelligent and telepathic, but have an animalistic lifestyle. They are highly resiliant and fairly rare. Dragons also have a strong sense of honor, will repay debts to those who help them. There are some Dragons that pose a threat to populated areas. If they can not be persueded to move, they may have to be killed. Prepare for combat with a Dragon by stocking up on powerful weaponry.

That danger was Alex, who had taken a short cut through a forest late at night. She was jumped by three men in there mid-twenties. Feeling the fear, he awoke and saved her before the men had a chance to have there way with her. He has been with her ever since, keping his hunger in check by carrying packets of blood in the inner pocket of his coat.

Reason for becoming a Stranger/How they Found out: He was 13, and on a camping trip with his father, when they were attacked by a werewolf. Andrew got away without injury, but his father was torn apart right before his eyes. The Strangers, who had been tracking the werewolf, showed up almost right after his father's death, and killed it. Afterwords, they offered to allow him to join when he was twenty, as someone who could evade a werewolf that well would be a good asset to the Strangers.

A Stranger, who had been tailing the soul Eater, arrived and killed it. Having no way to discourage her, he allowed Sarah to join. She only recently joined, and is about to go on her first mission.
Unique Equipment(Optional): Nothing special.

These fissures can also shoot out hellfire from the cracks that can be used as an offensive weapon or an effective shield. Has limited control over this hellfire.
Personality: normally calm and in thought, has kind of a short temper but he normally keeps it in check. His fatal flaw is holding grudges.
Reason for becoming a Stranger/How they Found out: Once he found out about his "Father", he became obsessed with learning all he could about Greek Mythology and how to further amplify and control his powers. He was offered a place on the Strangers in exchange for unique information about this subject. This makes him kind of the distint one of the team and normally keeps to himself.

His father and mother were slain by these vampires shortly after he turned fourteen. He was put into an orphanage after the incident, until one fateful evening when his parents' murderers returned to take his life. A Stranger managed to execute all the vampires that were set on destroying Parker. He befriended the Stranger and was admitted early when he turned 19.
Unique Equipment: Two H&K USP9SD (silenced USP)

It's feathers seem steely, and it's got two talons on each wing. He walks and flies like a wyvern in this form. The last thing he can do in this form is "shoot" lightning from the eyes just like the famed thunder-bird. In his human form he's just as powerful and normal as a regular person. He gets nothing special when he's human.
Reason for becoming a Stranger/How they Found out: While he was in his tribe, they were brutally attacked by Soul Eaters. The town was raided and pillage, but at that moment Jason found out his unique shape shifting powers. In this form he eliminated some of the enemies before the Strangers came in and finished off the rest. They took an interest in him and took him with them.

It's indestructible being made through the most hazardous of conditions from a god. Also carries a Remington 1740 and standard Stranger equipment.
