1314. That's when it all started. Or so the history books claim.
1314 was the date demons started cropping up. It's been pounded into our heads since we were kids; in 1314, our species sprang up in retaliation of the demons, ghosts and fucking zombies that started popping up.
Our species has been deemed "Bloodmen" after the relentless Hunt.
We're based off of an island off the coast of Mexico; an island that, to this day, remains unknown to the majority of the world.
On that island, there are 15 towns, one school-known as the Unit- and exactly 219 farms.
Each town everywhere in the world is categorized into a "District", ranked by activity. District one, the most active demon-filled town in existence, is in Arlington, Virginia. Each District has a team of Bloodmen just waiting for a demon-ghost, ghoul, zombie, monster, whatever- to pop up.
And that's where things get messy.
We can't use guns; our current immortal leader, Eanne, banned them in 1917 after an assassination attempt. So, we're regulated to swords and knives and whatever the hell else we can find. In school, mentioned above as The Unit, we choose a weapon to specialize in. Which is pretty useful, because considering the only way to kill a zombie is decapitation and a gun won't cut it. Demons need to be burned or they'll reanimate.
So, now shit gets weirder.
Most humans that find out about the kind of sick world they live in immediately assume that werewolves and vampires are the good guys, or the bad guys.
They couldn't be more wrong.
Lycanthropes and their blood sucking cousins are generally neutral, unless some kind of incident prompts them to work against or with us. For instance, in 1459, when a young Lycan killed the Bloodmen leader, vampires and werewolves alike rushed to help us, offering their condolences and helping in the search for the wolf.
Yes, werewolves change every full moon. Yes, vampires burn in sunlight, but slowly, and no Edward Cullen really doesn't exist.
Answer all your questions?
Good.

And, unfortunatly, what's now classified as the "2005 incident" is not just a terrorist attack, and the only reason the NYC is still standing today is because it took a very, very long battle for my team to save it.
