In the beginning, the High God created four islands, surrounded by crystal blue water. One lush with soft green grass and rolling hills One with sandy desert and broiling heat One with soft breezes and a wide open sky. And one with majestic mountains and deep forests.
First, the High God took clay and sand and created the Humans normal, malleable, and gentle, they were without power
Then the High God took glass and light and created the Angels immortal, beautiful creatures, but impossibly fragile
The High Good then took steel and fire and ash and created the Jinn fire made flesh, and indestructible, but a short life their downfall
Finally, the High God took clay, light, and steel, and created the Vampyres immortal, indestructible, and beautiful, and most importantly they had humanity
But since, powerful forces wove the races together beyond just the four races.
Cities have rose and dawns broken upon a new world, a new future.
from the Vampyres and the Humans, children with characteristics of both were born with the beauty and strength of their vampyric parent but they malleable and gentle qualities of the human parent and so they were named the Dhampyr
from the Angels and the Humans came a creature of legend lacking the fragility, but possessing all the beauty of their angelic parent having all the humanity and normality of their human parent with scars for wings and human blood they were called the Nephilim
from the Angels and the Vampyres something from the depths of darkness was created without the fragility and only the steely immortality of their vampyric parent and the constant healing abilities and wings of their angelic parent they had no humanity, no love in their hearts. only psychotic violence and crazed madness and so they were named the Demons
and forbidden from walking the islands.

THE ISLANDS
ARCYA - they call it the island of power, because this is the home of the Vampyres. the largest island, and is the farthest north, but also lies slightly west, although not as far as Izaro. Arcya is lined to the north with a long expanse of mountains and beyond it only a strip of cliffs that lead down into the churning dark waters of the far north. Below the Lucent Mountains is the largest and deepest part of their forests. Then, cities run along the western and eastern coasts, the largest city and the capital being at a southeastern point, Queen's Valley. It is the home of almost all of the important people in the islands. It is full of people, places, business, and is the richest city in the world. It was founded by the Fairchild family in 1579, and they have kept it running since.
ELLERY - the most beautiful island in the world, it is fitting that it would be the home of the Angels. It is the most moderate of climates, never really shifting from the cool, sunny, and breezy climate. It has the most rivers and canals and in between the rolling rivers and tumbling waterfalls, lies ancient and sturdy castles and shining cities made of gleaming metals and glass. Ellery is on the far east, south of Arcya, but north of Izaro and Caprina. The largest city there is Bellesea, which is located on the western border of the island, and is a gleaming city, the oldest in existence. Their are only a few other notable cities, if they're even cities. They're more like towns amidst the jumble of rivers and lakes and waterfalls. The first one being the town of Gabriel, it is at the heart of the island, located next to the largest waterfall.
IZARO - born on the island of the hot sun and the baking sands, are the Jinn. Izaro is the farthest south and west of any other island. This is a sacred place, barren of most things on the center of the island. Izaro has only a few cities, places of great wealth and heat. The largest being Phoenix. It is the capital of the island and it is in the center of the island. The only other two cities lie on opposite coasts. The first being to the west, Elixr. It is the second largest city, and boasts a nice long black sand beach that leads into dark waters to the west. The third city is up to the north, with the ports that lead to the other islands, and it is called Whitestar. It is a shining city, said to be blinding, and despite the smallness of it, many residents choose to live there instead of Phoenix or Elixr, mainly because it is the only port city in Izaro.
CAPRINA - the rolling hills and lush emerald fields are for the Humans to work hard. Caprina is mostly a farming island, without many major cities. The only two are small port cities up far north, one to the west, Red Range, to go to either Izaro or Arcya, or the one to the east, New Morning, to go to Ellery or Arcya. It has rolling hills and soft lush lands, the little towns dotting along the countryside. It's a prime vacation spot for people with wealth and lovers of the country. It's a nice little place, a slice of rustic paradise.

VAMPYRES made of light and steel and clay.
BORN AND MADE VAMPYRES
Born Vampyres - they are the oldest and the original ones made in the image of the High God. They appear to look like humans, and yet, they have the angelic beauty, the incredible strength and speed, and the humanity of humans. Born Vampyres, must have two Vampyre parents, in order to take on the traits of a true Vampyre. Vampyres need to drink blood to survive, but they need less blood than made Vampyres, and they must also eat regular human food. Born Vampyres can live forever, and usually don't come into full maturity until age 50. Only born Vampyres can reproduce, made Vampyres cannot, and that's why the maturity age is important. Born Vampyres also have a stronger venom, giving a pleasurable and erotic experience to the human they are feeding on. Hence why, many Vampyres take humans as mates.
Dhampyr - the offspring of a born Vampyre and a Human. They have many qualities of a Vampyre, but they cannot live forever, and have the same fragility as humans. They don't normally drink blood, and usually only human food, but they have the beauty and grace as Vampyres. The only time a Dhampyr might drink human blood is in order to become stronger. It will make them quicker, stronger, and overall more Vampyric in appearance. Since they can drink blood, they can elongate their fangs, shift their eyes in predatory mode, and release the venom into humans.
Made Vampyres - these are the Vampyres seen in horror films. They, like born Vampyres, have incredible speed, strength, grace, and angelic beauty. Although, they have pale skin, unnerving red eyes, and a coldness to them. Made Vampyres are in fact, the undead. In order to become a Vampyre, you must be a human. Vampyre venom is deadly to Angels, and Jinn's body temperatures are so hot, the venom would burn away before it could reach their brain and heart. A Vampyre must first bite a human, releasing venom into their system. Then, they must drink born Vampyre blood, and then, as the blood mixes with the venom, it will eventually kill the human. After their heart stops beating, Angel blood must be fed immediately, and it will react with the venom and the blood, in such a way to bring them back as a made Vampyre. This kind cannot reproduce, and for the first twenty or so years, the blood lust equivalent to insanity. Many will go on rampages and kill hundreds of humans without thought, if they don't have another Vampyre to help them control it.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Iron - the only controllable thing that could kill a Vampyre. Iron is extremely toxic to Vampyres, and it eventually will kill them, if not healed with Angel blood. If an iron blade severs the spine in any way, the Vampyre will die instantly. If a Vampyre is beheaded with iron, they will die instantly. Iron poisoning, if a blade is shoved into any other place, will eventually kill a Vampyre, but it is slow and painful, and creates a fever haze. Iron will burn a Vampyres skin if touched flat against it, like an iron ring or flat side of a blade, but won't kill them, unless actually entered into the body. This goes for born and made Vampyres, as well as Dhampyr.
Fire - this makes the Jinn and Vampyres constantly at odds. Fire can kill Vampyres, and mortally wound them. Although, this is usually used as a method of torture, considering the flames must burn hot enough in order to kill a Vampyre, but it takes quite a long time. The Jinn are perhaps the only people who can manage to get a fire hot enough to actually get to a temperature to kill a Vampyre, although it is unlikely one will do it often, since it burns up their energy and life force.
Illness - the only sickness that born Vampyres and sometimes Dhampyr get is one that is nasty and highly contagious to any Vampyre around them. It has only ever really been called the illness, and it starts out like any ordinary flu, but then progresses into hot flashes, fainting, vivid memories and hallucinations, and finally vomiting up all of the blood in their system until nothing is left. After the illness leaves the body, and the fever breaks in about a day or two, the Vampyre is left weak and shaky for a bit, until they can consume enough blood as they had before and then they'll be back to normal. It usually only comes once or twice in a lifetime, but the older a Vampyre gets, obviously the more they will get it.
Venom - hidden in the Vampyres fangs is their venom. Sticky and usually a silvery or golden color, shiny like metal and can slid off their teeth when they want to look intimidating. The only being that is completely immune to it, is Humans. A bite from a Vampyre to an Angel will kill them within the hour, and the venom usually will be burned up by the Jinn, but can make their lifespans shorter, because a lot of energy is needed for it to be burned away. Humans, however, thrive on venom, and can easily become addicted to the feeling. It's like combining all of the drugs, without the aftermath of them or the consequences, and also, once bitten and blood is being taken, an erotic feeling takes over. A feeling that is sometimes so strong and pleasurable, it can lead to a bond between the Vampyre and Human.

ANGELS made of glass and light and feathers
A GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Angel Blood - the healer of all things. Angel blood is used for one thing and one thing only. Healing. Their blood, silvery-white in color, radiant with flecks of iridescence, is the most sought after liquid in the four islands. There is virtually nothing that Angel blood cannot heal, but it is hard to come by, unless you know an Angel, which is rare. Angels are in hiding, due to their fragility and the sale of their blood and wings. It is used to make Vampyres, heal iron wounds, take away any injury or illness [ minus the Vampyre Illness ], and has even been rumored to mend broken hearts. It has the most wonderful taste in the world, and it is said to taste like the consumer's favorite drink.
Immortality - Angels, like Vampyres, can live forever, and they tend to live a lot longer. They do, because of their delicate physical balance and breakable body, they tend to stay out of trouble and off the grid. They hide themselves a lot better, especially with their mesh traps to kept their wings pinned to their back. Although they will break easier and die quickly if harmed, they can possibly live forever.
Wings - the final unique quality of Angels. Their wings are usually proportioned to carry their weight. But because of this, their bones tend to be fragile and breakable. Wing shape, color, and type depends on the family. They can be feathered, bat-like, contain membranes like dragonflies, or silky. They come in a variety of different colors, the most common being grays, tans, and blues. The rarest is black with glimmers of blues, silvers, purples, greens; and pure white with no other color on the feathers. The wings usually leave black scars down their back in an upside down V shape.
Demons - When Angels breed with Vampyres, it causes a very dark and conflicted child, which is called a Demon. With their Vampyre parents super speed, strength, grace, agility, and the combined beauty from both sides, they tend to be very charming in young age, but as they grow older, they seem to lack humanity or any regard for living creatures. They eventually seem to snap. It is believed that they lack the healing properties of angel blood, have the immortality of both, and the bloodthirsty violence of Vampyres. For some reason, the humanity seems to almost cancel out within the Demons, making them crazed and mad and forbidden by law on the Islands. The Demons do have wings, fangs with venom, a weakness to iron although they can tolerate being stabbed with it, the wound will take months to heal; they are usually killed with beheading or fire.
Nephilim - Children born of an Angel and a Human. They are mostly human, but their blood can sometimes help heal minor things. They don't have wings, but the V shaped scar down their back that grows with them. Nephilim are not immortal like their Angel parent, but they can tolerate a bit of Vampyre venom at a time, and could even become a made Vampyre, if that is decided. The Nephilim usually consider themselves humans, because beyond slightly glowing skin, they are not immortal and do not have wings.
Half-Demon, Half-Dhampyr - The only way for a Vampyre-Angel relationship to work was if the Angel was only a Nephilim. This oddly enough seems to balance out the anger and eventual craziness that takes over the minds of Demons, making them stable enough to live in the real world. Although, they are not usually accepted because most don't understand Half-Demon, Half-Dhampyr because it is quite complex lineage. But they are stable and able to survive, but they are hunted because of the fear Demons.

JINN
made of steel and fire and ash
A GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Jinn are almost completely indestructible. The only way to truly kill a Jinn is to either rip out their fiery heart, or get them to drain themselves of their life force. It varies between families, but most Jinn only live to be in their forties, some even go earlier than that. The Jinn have a life force, tied to fire. They're like candles, the more the flame is used and burns, the more the candle burns down. When a Jinn is drained of nothing left, their is a small bit left to send them out, like a fiery phoenix into a burst of flames that engulfs their entire body and turns them into ashes. Then those ashes are usually scattered where they would like.
The Jinn can control fire, making shapes and weaving it into intricate designs. Along with fire control, they also burn at extreme temperatures. They have a higher body temperature, so if they need to, they can heat up their skin and burn or melt anything that is touching them. The Jinn can usually only have children with other Jinn because of this. Their bodies were made for only each other. The female Jinn call it 'the fiery womb', making it impossible for a Jinn woman to conceive a child of another race.
THE THREE TRIBES OF IZARO
All Jinn can trace their roots back to one of the first Jinn, Izaro. He is the one who the island is named after, and is the only Jinn to live past the age of forty. He had three sons, each of which created their own families and tribes that continue today. Most come from their direct lines, or from some different branches. His three sons were Loren, Vorentian, and Aidren. These sons created the three main tribes and branches of the Jinn from Izaro. The Loren tribe, the Vorent tribe, and the Aidren tribe live on today. The stories from each tribe of who Izaro was vary, making the lore of the Jinn quite unique in that depending on what region you come from, that is what you believe.
The Loren tribe believe that Izaro was the original Jinn made from the High God, but he drank Angel blood everyday in order to live on. However, even that was not enough. So he went into the desert and prayed to the High God to grant him more life and a Phoenix swooped down and burst into flames at his feet, burning on the sand. So Izaro scooped up the fire and drank it from his cupped palms and his life's fire was replenished.
The Vorent tribe believe that Izaro was left alone on his island during the building of his capital and found a new mistress after his first wife; the mother to his three sons, perished in spectacular blaze. [ another legend in Jinn lore ] He went to a beautiful mountain range where gorgeous creatures roamed and lived forever and there he took a Vampyre lover. It is said they loved so fiercely and so brightly that he built a city in her honor, naming it after her last name, Whitestar, although her first name is lost in the sands of time. The Vorent tribe believes that every night she gave herself to Izaro in love and instead of feeding from him, he fed from her and he lived off of her immortal blood. But with no humans on the wastes of Izaro, she slowly emaciated away giving herself to him, and he then lived his last forty years in agony without her and in misery, knowing he was the reason she had perished on his own island.
The Aidren tribe believe that Izaro was not a Jinn, but only called himself as such. They say he was a Demon and that none of the Jinn come from Izaro the Jinn, but from Izaro the Demon. They say he built the island to what it is when he was cast out for being a Demon, shunned and hated and feared for his darkness, but the Jinn embraced him for his cunning and skill and design for their cities. He wanted revenge on the races who had thrown him out, so he raised up a shadowy and unknown Jinn to greatness and strength and built them an empire on their desert and scorched earth, only to disappear after the Jinn began to trade and work with the Vampyres, Humans, and Angels. Some of the Aidren tribe believe he killed himself, but others believe the Vampyres killed him to cover their former mistake of letting him live.

HUMANS made of clay and sand and dust.
A GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Humans are fragile, expendable, and by far the most populated race. Made without any special powers, abilities, or anything unusual. However, they were the first race created, according to legend, and therefore all races after them look very much like them, except with additional bells and whistles. Humans live for the average amount of years, are killed by all the usual things, and unless you're an alien exactly like Earth - humans.

the plot & original role play
so first, I'd like to mention that this isn't the first time Smokeless Fire has been on the forums. it feels like it was a million years ago, but over two years ago I created the original role play. it included members that I've grown to be best friends with. I've enjoyed so many memories and late nights while role playing this rp, and I'm definitely very fond of it. so why not bring it here, to have new eyes on it, to have new characters, idea, and members hopefully enjoy this rp as much as I do.
however, this role play is a completely clean slate. while many of the ideas the original members and I developed have been integrated, the core idea is still the same. it can go in so many different directions and with new people, it will hopefully have many more original and crazy ideas played out within this universe.
the original plot and starting point was simple. an old and powerful vampyre family controls and rules Queen's Valley on Arcya. however, they've had a burning vengeance against the jinn ever since most of their family was murdered many years ago. the jinn have been passing down a hatred of vampyres as well, and they live in fear of the ruling vampyre family.
in Queen's Valley, many shady things happen as well. including angel hunting, a string of disappearances of human children, and a power struggle over the city. it feels like gasoline is poured over the entire city, just waiting for someone to light a match and watch the entire structure of the current world burn.
{ extra special thank yous to the original members who made this role play possible in the first place. thank you for making it so successful to begin with and giving me so many lasting memories. love y'all so much~ }

okay I should probably put this in the planning page but eh, it'll be better seen here.
so this is what I was thinking as far as plot. Obviously, there is tension between any Jinn & Vampyres. That much hasn't changed, and the Jinn want to get back at all Vampyres for the oppression on Izaro as well as the lawlessness of vamps there. That charge is led by Nina [ish] although her and her family have a more private vendetta against the Fairchilds and Fairchild allies.
I was also thinking of having another plotline run along side that for most characters. similar to Alistair's plotline before, but without the ah, details of that one xD Something with perhaps human children getting kidnapped and being used as blood servants for their entire life? Or human teenagers being turned into made Vamps for an army of some sort? Thoughts, ideas, and such?

oooh I like that I like the idea of human children disappearing I had an idea with Elka being made into a vampyre against her will so, if you want, we could find a way to tie that in with a bigger plot like the teenage, vampyre army

that'd actually work nicely~ maybe the same group is stealing the children to help feed their made vampyres or something? or they could be two different links.
but Elka could maybe be an escapee from this army or something~

she could be an escapee or maybe they thought she didn't survive the turning so they left her without realizing she'd survived but I definitely think we should tie the missing children in with all the new vampyres

oooh I like the idea of them leaving her for dead but she survived anyway.
there could be like a clinic or a haven of some sort that has volunteers that seek out lost and alone beings and help them or something and they're the ones that find her and save her? like it's a kind of group that is trying to stop this vampyre army ~ and they work with human social workers as well when they realize the children are going missing?

I also think it'd be better if she was left for dead because that leaves her with less information on what's going on so she couldn't just be like "yeah, I escaped. here's where their hideout is and who their leader is" it would leave more gaps and questions with no answers
is there any way other species could be tied into this? like jinn and angels?
