Dark-Hunter: An ancient warrior who sold his/her soul to the Greek goddess Artemis for a single act of vengeance. Now they protect mankind from the Daimons who want to claim our souls.

Apollite: A member of a race cursed by the god Apollo. They cannot be out in daylight and they must live on the blood of each other. At age 27, they die a slow and painful death unless they decide to turn Daimon and prey on human souls.

Daimon: An Apollite who refuses to docilely die over a curse s/he had no part in creating. They feed on human souls and fight the Dark-Hunters.

Were-Hunter: Originally part of the Apollite race, their DNA was magically spliced with animals. Now they are shape-shifters who are embroiled in a war against each other.

Dream-Hunter: They are the gods of sleep who were cursed by the Greek gods to feel no emotion whatsoever. But they carry within them a dark secret that could completely shake the world in which they live. The Oneroi branch are often helpers to the Dark-Hunters.

Charonte: A race of demons who are extremely violent and amoral. They have a very interesting code of ethics.

Squire: A human who is employed by a Dark-Hunter or a human who has skills that make a Dark-Hunter's life a bit easier. They have an entire organization set up and are willing to die or kill to protect the secret of the DH world.

Savitar: Yeah... in a class by himself ;) Ditto on Acheron.

Limani: So-called bolt-holes these are doorways that open when Daimons are in trouble. They take the Daimons straight into Kalosis.

Limanis are also many sanctuaries in the human world for us. In a pinch, you can always run to a club or home of the Arcadian and Katagaria packs. So long as you keep your fangs in your mouth, they will tolerate you in their havens.

These are the cities that house large Apollite communes where Daimons are welcome: Las Vegas, New Orleans, St. Louis, New York, San Francisco, Paris, Rome, Athens, London, Helsinki, Rio, Los Angeles, Honk Kong, Montreal

DC not kewl. Too many blood-sucking lawyers, IRS, and politicians. They have no souls to prey on and the poor pitiful people who do are quickly bled dry by them. You'll starve if you try to live there.

Daimon Rules:
There is actually only one rule: Don't Die.

However we have put together a few reminders for you:

Don't fall onto pointy objects chest first.

Don't drink the blood of the dead.

Sunblock doesn't work, nor do umbrellas or anything else. If sunlight touches you, you violate the only real rule.

All humans are evil.

Dark-Hunters are vermin in need of extermination.

Don't dance in public. We have no sense of rhythm and you will immediately out yourself. Looking good doesn't mean you look good on the dance floor.

Squires are extra yummy when eaten.

Avoid taking the life of an Arcadian or Katagari unless they are offered to you as a sacrifice. They tend to have very large families that will hunt you down and kill you. On that note, remember, they can travel in daylight. We can't.

In fact, avoid angering anything that walks in daylight. They tend to break into our cribs and expose us to light. So don't play with your food. Kill them, eat them and move on.

Dark-Hunters can't go into cemeteries or any haunted places. For a great show, drag them inside and watch what happens.

Dark-Hunter blood is poisonous to us.

Don't try to kill a Dark-Hunter to steal his soul. They don't have one. It's a waste of your time and it just pisses off the Dark-Hunter.

You can only kill a Dark-Hunter by exposing him to daylight or by decapitation. Anything else just pisses them off.

If you see someone with a bow and arrow tattoo, walk on by. DO NOT ENGAGE. Not unless you're a true Spathi and in that case Bon Apetite

Hang with the Goth crowd, we tend to blend and they think our fangs are kewl. Not to mention Goth chicks will gladly ask you to bite them. Goth clubs = supermarket/fast food.

Avoid polyester and plaid. No real reason other than you just look stupid in it. No one should be caught dead in either one and since we're dead...

Avoid the Dark-Hunter called Acheron. There is no such thing as escaping or defeating him. He is referred to as the Angel of Death and the Grim Reaper.

Avoid biker bars. 1. they tend to have Dark-Hunters in them. 2. we don't blend in there.

Once you go Daimon, do not share this knowledge with any non-Daimon. If anyone should ask, you're still Apollite. Who's going to know? And if they do, kill them.

Never take an Apollite soul. It's just bad form and we will hunt you down for it.

If a bolt-hole opens, go into it.

When approaching an Apollite, the key phrase to remember is "I am the Light of the Lyre and I walk in his grace."

When approaching a Daimon, the key phrase is "I fear no evil, for I am the baddest creature walking the night."

We don't have records of all Apollite communities or groups, but the largest known groups are:

Spathi--they are our warrior class. No one knows who they are or where they come from. They are mysterious and powerful. It is said one true Spathi can annihilate a group of Dark-Hunters easily. The true Spathi are identified by the mark of a yellow sun that holds a black dragon in its center as shown on the Brethren page. Their leaders are Stryker and Urian.

Agkelos--these are the Daimons who find it hard to take the life of "innocent" humans. The weakest of the Daimons, they prey on humans who are criminals and predators. Their leader is Karlos.

Day-Slayer--we have been told of these since the dawn of our history. No one has ever seen a Day-Slayer who is able to walk in daylight. But we believe they exist. It is also believed that one day the one true Day-Slayer will come and unite us all so that we can take our place as the rulers of the earth. It is a day we all dream of.

Apati--these are the "fake" Spathi. Dark-Hunters and many Apollites can't differentiate between these and the true Spathi. Most of them are found living in and around human cities. They are tough, but not nearly as much as the real thing. Their high leader is Christof.

Kathoros--Said to be even more evil than the Spathi, these Daimons are rare. At one time they were believed to have been the servants of the Atlantean war god Misos. Like the Arcadian Sentinels, one half of their faces is tattooed and legend says they shave their heads.
