ACTC takes place in an American college, but is set in a universe with numerous other "realms" with a range of unique species.

Today, we'll share some details of those native to Lanstone.

(We'll warm you up with an work-in-progress animation of a human woman taking a shower)

Humans
Humans are the most prominent species.

Most are oblivious to the existence of other supernatural species and realms.


Vampires
Vampires are the most ancient species living on Terran.

They often look the same as humans, except for their sharp fangs, which they use to drink blood.

Weak vampires must feed regularly; however, strong ones can feed infrequently.

They've been ruling over the werewolves of Terran for millennia, causing either awe or resentment among them.

They are known for their cold and calculated ways of looking at problems and lack of exclusivity in romantic relationships.

Vampires can either be Born or Turned. Born vampires are the children of two powerful vampires. Turned vampires are members of other species who have been turned into vampires by another vampire.

It is complicated for vampires to conceive children, often taking them hundreds or thousands of years to do so successfully.

Vampires are immortal and will not die of old age. There are extremely few ways to kill them. Some vampires decide to die voluntarily by going to slumber.


Werewolves
Werewolves can usually shapeshift at will and have both a wolf and a human form. Even in their human form, they have exceptional physical strength. They are often hot-blooded and will act before thinking things through.

Wolves almost always stick together in packs. They have a caste system within their society, where their strength dictates their position within the pack.

Alpha's are the pack leaders, and Luna's are their bond/soul mates. Beta's are the second in command. Omega's are the weakest pack members, who complete fewer physical activities, and the stronger pack members protect them.

A legend states that the Moon Goddess created them, and many werewolves worship her.

They have always been ruled and governed by vampires. Some werewolves have no issue with this, but many resent the vampires and feel they oppress wolves.

The average lifespan of a werewolf is around 150 years.
