Witches are born with enriched blood that allows them to tap into the Supernatural World, and weild significant amounts of Magick. Their abilities with Magick differ drastically, and depend on the Witch or Warlock responsible. Witches aren't really stronger, faster than humans, as distinct from other Supernatural Species, but they do generally posess fantastic minds, and extraordinary intelligence. However, despite their ability to weild Magick, Witches have standard life-expectancy, and age only a little better than humans. The parameters to what can be accomplished with Magick are straightforward. (Nothing that would be considered powerplaying or godmodding.)[/justify][/justify][/size]
Shape Shifters, or more commonly referred to as simply "Shifters", can change transform themselves into various animals, depending on the Shifter. The gender of the animal, as well as many physical traits, depends solely on the Shifter. The animal form of Shifters, regardless of sex, tends to reflect the personality and mentality of the Shifter. Much like the belief of Spirit Animals among various peoples. However, each Shifter is only alligned with a specific animal, prohibiting cross-changing, such as from human-to-eagle and then again from eagle-to-dolphin. Shifters are generally stronger and faster than Humans, though not to the degree that Vampires are, and they tend to take on some of their animals traits over time. Shifters are created in two ways: naturally, and also chemically.
Born, or natural, Shifters age naturally until they reach adulthood, and then the aging process slows dramatically, allowing the Shifter to live two-to-three times the length of a naturally born Human. (Up to 300 years in most cases.)
Chemical-Shifters, or made Shifters, are created through an infusion of DNA from a Shifter to a human, usually through a bite, though there have been reports of accidental, or intentional, blood-transfusions occuring between the two species. Made Shifters, as distinct from born Shifters, are frozen at their current age, and remain immortal unless killed.
Regardless of whether the Shifter is born or made, every full moon forces a Shape Shifter to change into their animal when the moon is at it’s highest.

The Clearstone Vampires are like classic Vampires in a few ways: their beating hearts, blood-filled veins, the ability to heal themselves quickly, and immortality. They move much faster and are much stronger than humans. However, they differ drastically from myth, as they can walk in the sunlight without being burnt to cinders. Naturally, Vampires need the blood of humans in order to survive, though their victims aren't always subject to death. In addition to blood, Vampires that are created chemically need to supplement their diet with a bit of human-food as well, to keep their bodies in top condition. Like Shifters, Vampires are either born, or created chemically.
Natural Vampires age and die in nearly the same way as the Shifters; reaching adulthood naturally, and then remaining at that age until they reach somewhere in-between two-to-three hundred years old.
Made Vampires are created through a chemical infusion, much like the Shifters, and, again, age in much the same way. They are immortal, and do not die easily, even when wounded.
