History and story
"A wolf in sheep clothes."
Around the year 700 A.D, the first Youkai started surfacing the earth in the disguise of regular humans for the sake of preying on them. Where they came from was unknown as to why they seemed to be appearing out of nowhere. It wasn't until 800 that humanity decided to fight back and the first war between Youkai vs. Humanity became reality. This war came to an end in the year 827 and despite it's number was called "The Quarter War."
After the Quarter war, humanity and Youkai were celebrated as equals under the guidance of saint Yshera, a woman born from the love between a Vampire man and human lady. Together they made both human and Youkai society thrive but this coexisting bond appeared to be merely thin as another war happened in 1260. In this war humanity proved to be clever creatures as they used the knowledge about their weaknesses against them and Youkai were forced to go back to where they came from. Under the guidance of saint Lysia, a woman born from a snowwoman mother and a human father, they evacuated to the realm of Youkai after it was clear that humanity did not wish to negotiate. Lysia lost her life during this evacuation and left behind a daughter that was never heard of again. Many humans and Youkai, including Lysia, lost their lives during this war and for this reason, the war received it's name "The Blood Moon War."
Humans and Youkai never learned to coexist again and due time, humans started to forget Youkai existed all together. Some say that this was the work of Youkai with the ability to alter memories. Other's say that humans have a feeble memory. Whatever the reason was that they had forgotten their bloody past, it wasn't one easily forgotten by the Youkai. Especially the species that were able to become old enough to still breath in present day.
Today it's the year 2020. It has been 760 years since the last war and human society is at it's peak once again. What they didn't know was that Youkai had started living among them once again, some were criminals that were never able to forgive the humans for their bloody past and became serial killers, others were presidents of prestigious companies or even prime-ministers of their respective countries. Some humans knew of the existence of Youkai and were maybe even married to one while others stayed in the dark like most of human society. Humans that knew about Youkai often wrote books and stories about them.
... But something that was certain was Youkai wishing for another war.

Youkai list
- Neko (1/1)
Spoiler:The Neko specie is peculiar and known throughout the Youkai realm for their playful behavior. Their long, painfully sharp nails and very mobile body structure make them excellent fighters in battle. Their Youkai appearance consists of a pair of cat ears and a cat tail. Depending on the clan it can differ in size and color. They were the most loved species by the humans and are less likely to hate them. Their cuisine is mostly fish related meals and some of them roam the human world as traveler merchants as they have the same lifespan as humans. - Vampire (1/1)
Spoiler:Vampires are creatures that usually live in small kingdoms ruled by a king and a queen. Vampires can age up until 400 years old but stop aging physically at the age of 25. Their trademark is their superhuman strength, crimson eyes and silver hair in Youkai form. They use a rosary to be able to stay in human form. This can either be a bracelet, earring, necklace or any accessory that can be worn. This is because their magical power is rather weak. Vampires love human blood but are able to live without. There is a place in Romania icalled "Transylvania" in the human world that is ruled by Vampires.
- Werewolf (0/1)
Spoiler:Werewolves are Youkai that were easily misunderstood throughout human history. According to humans they are only able to transform during a full moon while in truth, they can transform anywhere and anytime they want. They are known for their superhuman speed and peculiar hate for the Vampire specie. They are often at war with them although no one knows why. Werewolves are fastest during full moon and are in human form most of the time. Their real appearance is that of a wolfbeast. Werewolves usually die at the age of 120 - Mermaid (1/1)
Spoiler:Mermaids are Youkai's with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish. In their Youkai form they have gills instead of ears and a monstrous mouth when devouring their prey. They have the ability to manipulate water to bend to their will. They usually live in lakes and oceans in the human world. Some of them live in the Youkai realm in kingdoms but since their specie only consist of females, they need specifically human males to reproduce. Mermaids live for around 400 years - Succubus/incubus (1/1)
Spoiler:A demon/devilish like Youkai that grows devil wings and a devil tail in their Youkai form with long nails competing with those of the Neko specie. Succubi and Incubi are Youkai that live from the pleasure they give and/or receive from about anything that breathes. They are well known from stories on earth and are often very beautiful women or men. Do be careful because these creatures are true illusion masters and have the ability to attract about anything depending on the mental strength of a person. Succubi and incubi have the same lifespan as that of a human. - Yuki Onna (Snowwoman/man) (1/1)
Spoiler:Yuki Onna is a specie that is able to manipulate ice and create ice with their body temperature alone. In Youkai form they have sharp ice claws as a feature and a very cold, frosty skin. In human form they are able to recreate the body warmth of a normal human being with illusion magics. Yuki Onna and Mermaids have a small rivalry going one since old times as some Yuki Onna's would freeze the lakes in which mermaids live. Mermaids would manipulate water to freeze Yuki Onna's with their own body temperatures in turn. Both are able to get out of their "cold" situations though, so it never became more than a friendly rivalry. Many Yuki Onna's still roam the earth and live in snowy mountains but there are still enough living in the Youkai Realm. Yuki Onna's are able to become 200 years or older depending on their life style. They age the same way as humans. - Fairy (1/1)
Spoiler:Fairies. Maybe one of the most annoying creatures inhabiting the Youkai realm. Fairies tend to be horrible pranksters and have strong magical powers. Those magical powers can only be accessed after making a contract with another Youkai or Human and have them wish for something. Some Fairies are truthful and will make your wish come true but not without getting something in return. Other Fairies might make the wish backfire on you but still take the other end of the bargain. Fairies in their Youkai form are small creatures looking like humans in appearance but with wings growing on their backs. Fairies only exist within the four small Fairy kingdoms. Water and Earth kingdoms reside in the human world while Fire and Wind kingdoms reside in the Youkai realm. Fairies can live for a 1000 years. - Yasha (1/1)
Spoiler:A Youkai whose origin goes back to India but also live in China nowadays. Yasha use coins to summon other "Youkai" creatures. These creatures can vary from panda warriors to tigers and small wyverns. Yasha are gifted in swordmanship and their talens has been recognized by other Youkai since ancient times. Better yet, most samurai from Japan history were Yasha. Yasha live in clans throughout India, China and Japan. They do not live in the Youkai realm since even in their Youkai form, they still resemble regular humans except for a third eye growing on their foreheads. Yasha age in the same way human do but can live up to about 150 years. Some say that Yasha are very lucky creatures. - Youko (1/1)
Spoiler:Youko are Youkai that have the ability to turn into a fox with nine tails and manipulate fire. Youko have to "earn" their tails as each tail makes them slightly stronger. They can do this is several ways with, for example, proving their bravery or any other sort of achievement. Youko don't usually have all nine tails until they grow into adults. Youko don't live in the human world but they do occasionally visit and wander around. Youko come in different sizes and thus personalities. They don't typically live together in big groups as they're mostly free spirits. Youko have the same lifespan as a regular human. - Lamia (1/1)
Spoiler:Lamia are half-snake and half-human. In their Youkai form they have the lower body of a snake and depending on the area they come from, they have something at the end of their tail that helps them hunt. This can be poison, something sharp to stab with. There are many different kinds of Lamia all around the Youkai realm. Just like the Youko, Lamia do not typically live in the human world but when they do they are usually someone important within a big company. The reason for this is simply because they have brainwashing abilities and humans are easier to fall prey to this even when the Lamia isn't even trying. They don't get older than 160 years. - Mage/Witch (2/2)
Spoiler:The true masters of alchemy and magics are the mages and witches born in the Youkai realm. They are able to call for complicated spells and use their potions to their advantage. Since they are basically humans with an affinity for magics, they fought against the Youkai in the Quarter War. In the Blood Moon War they lay dormant and were the first to retreat to the Youkai realm. Some mages and witches still live in the human world. They are not exactly well liked by other Youkai species. - Oni (1/1)
Spoiler:The Oni. A specie that humans often describe in fairytales as one-eyed brute beings that have meat for brains. They aren't completely wrong, although there are some misconceptions. Oni's have two eyes and some of them are pretty intelligent. Oni's in their Youkai form have a total of 4 arms and are often quite big and muscular while their skin color depends on their clan. Most of them hate the humans but some of them broke free of this mindset and started exploring the human world on their own, some even settled down. Oni's have a powerboost in their Youkai form but not as much as a Vampire does. Oni's can reach the age of 275 years old and they age slowly. - Kraken
Spoiler:Kraken's are used in a lot of folklore in the human world and are usually described as giant octopus beings that wreck ships sailing the sea during storms. No one knows how this story came to exist but what we do know is that Kraken are actually Youkai with 8 tenticles for arms in their Youkai form and look rather normal in their human form. Their height differs per Kraken and instead of normal white colored eyeballs with round irisses, they can have different coloured ones and horizonal stripes for irisses. Most Kraken roam around but there are groups living together in camps in the Youkai realm. Besides having 8 tenticles, Kraken can also breath underwater. They have the same life span as a human being. - Human
Spoiler:Once in a while, the principal of Youkai Academy allows one human to join the academy with as purpose to find a bridge between the human world and Youkai realm that can be used to help both parties to coexist. Those are usually humans coming from a family that know about the existance of Youkai. Humans are fairly regular and don't have any special abilities. The principal does ask this human student to act as a different Youkai specie. Humans are able to receive abilities throughout the RP. Whether this be learning alchemy, receiving a werewolf or vampire bite or anything along those lines.
GM's note: If you want to take the human spot, keep in mind that you're going to have to choose a Youkai specie in your SU and not let anyone else know that you are taking the human spot. Throughout the RP you'll convince the other RPers that you really are said specie. Humans can write a PM to me with their overall human idea since there was a high demand for it. - Dragon
Spoiler:Can't be played by students. This information here is for story purposes.
Dragons are believed to have gone extinct after the The Blood Moon war where saint Lysia was killed together with the last dragon, who was her husband. They left behind a daughter but without anyone to take care of her she was believed to have gone dying pretty soon after losing her parents. There are no records of her after the war.
Dragons are powerful creatures with the ability to completely manipulate the element they were born with. Dragon's element and colour depend on the season they were born in rather than the genes of their parents.
Spring is the element of wind.
Summer is the element of Fire.
Fall is the element of Earth.
Winter is the element of water.
Dragons are believed to be able to reach the age of over 5000 years old. Even far before the humans discovered the Youkai within their world, dragons were already roaming it.
