Style Assassins
The Style Assassins are elite human warriors who have transformed themselves into formidable forces through relentless training and mastery of The Current—an art that harmonizes physical, spiritual, and emotional power. They are not born with supernatural gifts nor chosen by destiny; they are Normals who have pushed the limits of human potential to become near-superhuman. With unmatched control and precision, they wield The Current to enhance their strength, speed, and perception, allowing them to face even the universe's greatest threats. Through sheer willpower and discipline, the Style Assassins prove that true power can be earned, standing as unparalleled defenders in the Epic Universe.
The Children
The Children are ancient energy vampires who feed not on blood, but on the very life force of others, making them both feared and revered. Led by the enigmatic Lord Asagawa, their society is defined by ritual, control, and a strict hierarchy that balances their immense power with disciplined restraint. Through practices like the Breathing True Life ritual, they absorb energy in ways that go beyond survival, enhancing their psychic abilities, physical prowess, and mental clarity. On the battlefield, however, their feeding turns primal, tapping into raw energy to fuel their powers amidst chaos. Yet, this life force comes with a price: psychic echoes from their prey linger in their minds, reinforcing the need for emotional discipline. Periods of hibernation also reveal the paradox of their strength and vulnerability, as even the most powerful of The Children occasionally rely on their kin for protection. Balancing between the celestial and the monstrous, The Children embody a complex duality, wielding a power that shapes them into both apex predators and guardians of ancient energy.
The Blood Lords
The Blood Lords embody a disciplined mastery of Blood Magic, weaving spells with precision and tradition passed down through centuries. They are the guardians of vampiric legacy within the Bloodlines, wielding their power with ritualistic control and tactical finesse. Each Blood Lord follows a structured hierarchy, gaining power through ancestral rites like the Rite of Ascendant Blood, which connects them to the strength of their predecessors. Unlike their chaotic counterparts, the Blood Borne, Blood Lords craft blood into deadly weapons and defenses with calculated strategy, studying their opponents to strike at the perfect moment. As the keepers of ancient knowledge and protectors of tradition, the Blood Lords stand as symbols of stability and respect, uniting strength with an unwavering commitment to their heritage.
Darcs
The Darcs are a captivating fusion of human intellect and feline instinct, embodying the best of both worlds with elegance and ferocity. Far more than mere shapeshifters, these werecat warriors navigate life through a range of majestic forms, each transformation revealing a unique facet of their primal strength, razor-sharp reflexes, and cunning intelligence.
Renowned for their independence and mastery of stealth, the Darcs are natural hunters, moving with unmatched grace and striking with surgical precision. Whether blending seamlessly into human society or unleashing their full predatory power, they adapt to every challenge with ease, making them both fearsome combatants and elusive operatives.
Rogues
The Rogues are the most dangerous outcasts of the supernatural world—beings who have broken their society’s codes and surrendered to a life of unchecked power, chaos, and madness. Shunned and hunted by their own, they include Darcs without Prides, Mages defying the Structure, Vampires lost to bloodlust, and Children consumed by the forbidden Taste of No Taste. Each Rogue is a volatile force, a walking weapon who endangers the supernatural order by their mere existence.
Nameless Warriors
The Nameless Warriors are Normals on a relentless quest for recognition, training as acolytes to the Style Assassins. Through rigorous mastery of The Current’s three states, they push the limits of human potential, striving to ascend into superhuman status. Each trial they endure, from intense training to the grueling Shugyosha, brings them closer to earning their own unique identity and a place of legend among the universe's greatest defenders.
Magi
The Magi are masters of Magic, wielding cosmic energy as conduits of the universe itself. Believing they are the true chosen ones—uniquely gifted to summon and shape magic—the Magi draw power not from within but from the vast forces around them. Through their profound connection to this boundless energy, they transform it into spells that can reshape reality, bending the world to their will. In their eyes, no other faction compares, for only the Magi wield the divine art of Magic, making them the rightful rulers of the supernatural realm.
The Blood Borne
The Blood Borne are fierce, rebellious vampires who wield Blood Magic with wild, unpredictable power, embodying the raw side of vampiric strength. Unlike the disciplined Blood Lords, the Blood Borne thrive on instinct and innovation, adapting their magic in the heat of battle to create weapons and shields as needed, and seizing any opportunity to gain an edge. Driven by freedom and survival, they perform chaotic rituals like “The Devouring” to amplify their powers, embracing the risks that come with pushing beyond tradition. As champions of rebellion and change, the Blood Borne are symbols of a new, evolving power within the Bloodlines, inspiring fear and fascination as they redefine what it means to be a vampire.
Uruk
Emotisynced Warriors of Unity: The Uruk are more than powerful lycanthropes; they are a society bound by an Empathic Network that creates an unbreakable bond among their kind. Forged through shared emotions, instincts, and intentions, the Uruk transcend the individual, moving as a single, emotisynced entity. Led by the legendary Lycaon, they wield a power born from primal chaos, channeling it through unity and shared purpose. With each transformation—from human guise to towering beast—they balance ferocity and intelligence, embodying a collective strength that sets them apart in the Epic Universe.
The Red Market
The Red Market is a shadowy, ever-moving underground bazaar where supernatural beings gather to trade in forbidden power, ancient relics, and dark secrets. Cloaked in mystery and guarded by the enigmatic Hoods, it’s a place where alliances are forged, rivalries flare, and every deal comes with a price. For those daring enough to enter, the Red Market offers a glimpse into a hidden world, where survival hinges on risk, and true power lies in the shadows.
The Epic Universe
The Epic Universe is a realm of relentless power struggles, where each faction pursues dominance with brutal ambition, driven by deep-seated hatred and alliances ready to shatter at any moment. Here, every faction—whether it be the aristocratic Blood Lords, the ruthless Magi, the rebellious Style Assassins, or the predatory Children—exists on the edge of conflict, bound by loyalties that are tenuous at best. Betrayal is inevitable, and centuries-old grudges simmer just below the surface, threatening to explode.
The tension is palpable: the Magi despise the Style Assassins for defying their rule, while the Bloodlines and The Children hold an unyielding contempt for each other’s very existence. Meanwhile, The Children and the Magi maintain a tense truce, each watching the other for any move toward dominance. In this world, peace is a thin veneer over chaos; every interaction, every alliance, is haunted by the knowledge that the true battle for supremacy is yet to come. With each faction preparing for war, the Epic Universe stands at the brink, teetering between order and total devastation, where only the most ruthless will survive.
