YM: Jealous Vampiress, here's your SetoxJou fic!! ^_^!!
EC: And it'll be a Romance/Angst and maybe some horror…
IH: Gente doesn't know if she wants to write this fic yet…
YM: Good. I don't need more than 2 muses on this fic!
EC: ¬_¬ Baka.
IH: Anyways, first we're gonna give you some background info on the fic. Evile, will you do the honors??
EC: The main pairing in this fic is Jou x Seto, and we're hoping to get a lemon out of the deal……YM's never done a SxJ lemon, but I can coach her through it…
YM: You mean scream directions and obscenities at me…
EC: -_-'
IH: Also, we have quite a few different races in this fic, because YM wanted some sort of strange Lord of the Rings type Alternate Universe fic……-_-'
YM: Yep!! ^_^ The races are as follows:
The Dragons: Very legendary and rare creatures, they are the second most deadly race; only rivaled by the power of a shape-shifter, for obvious reasons. Keeping to themselves mostly in the caves of the Ketsuki-aka and the Kori-Aoi mountains, they have been known to become humanoid and walk among their kind, though this almost never happens, because they barely ever "lower themselves to that level". This is because they are a haughty race, and think they are above most other creatures. Amazing magic users, their talents are only rivaled by the unicorns and some very strong shape-shifters. They are immortal and can only be killed by another's hand.
The Shape-shifters: Generally a in a humanoid form, these creatures can change their appearance to any they wish in the blink of an eye. No one knows what their true birth form is, because when they are born, they look how their mother best sees fit. When they come of age, ususally around 18 years, they learn to vary the forms that they take on, but until then, they are constricted mostly to their original coloring. For example, if it was born with black hair and red eyes, then if it shifted to a cat, the cat would have black fur and red eyes. When the shape-shifter comes of age, it could acquire any color characteristics that it wishes, and it's stature and such can also be changed. They are usually employed as assassins or spies because they can change their appearances, so they have less chance of ever being caught. They are also immortal, and the stronger ones have magic at their disposal, although all have a slight amount of it.
Werewolves: They can shift from their wolf form to their human form in less than a second, though they are born in neither; they are halfway between, called a "were-child" or just "a pup" Sometimes they live among humans, but they have no problem living with other ancient beings, the most frequent being if not their own kind, shape-shifters, because they can change as the wolves do, and so they are more comfortable around them. They don't have much magic; simply a few elemental spells, more-so meant for a shield than an attack, but their fangs and claws make up for it.
The vampires: A ruthless race, beautiful and seductive, they can have almost any victim they choose, and most of the time, they aren't picky. They need to kill at least once a week to stay strong, but most do so more than that to remain strong than others. They use a slight amount of magic, but nothing that compares to that of the unicorns, dragons, or choice shape-shifters. They are viewed as evil, though some of them aren't as bad as they are made out to be; they just do what they need to do to stay alive. Most of the time they employ themselves as whores to catch a meal and sate their lustful bodies, but sometimes they are simply trying to live as normal people, and they are prosecuted by some humans and elves, which are their favorite races to feed on. They are immortal, but can be killed by magic, especially intense light spells, among other things.
Elves: A gentle, secluded race, the elves are forest dwellers. Great craftsman, they sometimes can be found in markets, and the things they sell are always of great quality, though it is rare for an actual elf to be selling his/her own crafts. Usually, one or two select humans buy merchandise from them and sell it. Very few humans have ever seen an elf, let alone actually met one besides a few business ventures buy rogues. They stay in their own land and don't bother anyone, and they don't let you bother them. To get to the elfish world you must have an elfish guide, because there is no other being that has been to Silnó rë ("Shining Land" in Quneya) and returned to tell about it. If you don't have a guide who knows where they're going, then you will wander around the enchanted forest that surrounds Silnó rë . Keen hearing, sharp sight, excellent marksmen with bows and crossbows, it's difficult for most anything to get the upper in a fight with an elf. They are the most supreme race of fighters, even outmatching vampires and shape-shifters. They are also one of the immortal races.
Fairies: These creatures have scarcely been seen a handful of times by all races on the earth combined. Mystical and mischievous forest-dwellers, these sprites sometimes like to intervene with others' lives in a human-like form. They more-so appear to the animals of the forests, and they can tell the difference between a shape-shifter or werewolf and an animal. Extraordinary healers, they help most any creature they can to heal quickly, having very kind hearts, almost as much as unicorns. They also make the plants grow wherever they fancy them to, which is usually the reason why a garden will flourish or die…like I said, they like to meddle with humans' lives. They almost never mate outside of their own kind, but it has been known happen in only a few accounts when they happened to be in a human-looking form; that's one extremely rare half-breed.
Humans: The least magical of all creatures, and the most recent to come into existence, they are not considered ancients. They out-populate all other races, except maybe fairies; no one really knows about them. They are also the most curious, and they often search out the other ancient races, sometimes resulting in untimely deaths for them, and almost always annoying the other races. Sometimes though, a rogue from another race will approach a human, but that doesn't usually happen. The only ones known to do that are vampires, and that's only when they're hungry……-_-' Every once and a while a werewolf or shape-shifter will want a companion and approach a human, though that is very rare. A unicorn or a dragon almost never interacts with a human, unless they wish to do business with them and nothing more.
Unicorns: The purest and gentlest of races, these kind hearted and shy creatures prefer to disguise themselves as regular horses or humans to escape poachers. Their horn, being their source of power, is the rarest and most valuable item known, and they are usually embedded with precious gems that reflect the true color of their souls. They are hard as stone and unbreakable, yet at the same time smooth, and gently pleasant to the touch, and the more pure the unicorn, the more valuable it's horn. Many are slaughtered for their priceless treasures, though to be caught doing so is punishable by death. All parts of these radiant creatures have magical, usually healing properties, from the blood in their veins to the skin on their backsides, just like a dragon, though they aren't prosecuted, because no creature has killed a dragon and lived. Amazing magic users, they can deploy most any spells, though they would rather retreat than fight. Their power is matched, not exceeded by dragons and shape-shifters, though only few of the latter.
Half-breeds: These creatures are usually rejected from their species, and because of this, usually rejected by their parents. Most of the time they end of being fostered by humans or living on the streets. Usually they have difficult lives, and are almost always unwanted. They are employed as assassins, and have lowly jobs, like serving wenches or cooks. They usually are frowned upon by most, unless it's not visible that they are "halves" or, as they are sometimes called, "Mits" (pronounced "meats") which is as degrading as calling an African American a "nigger".
YM: There!! ^_^ Those are all of the races of my world, called "Seishinbunretsusho" (It's Japanese…for schizophrenia…^^;;;)
