Is it acceptable to play a non-human? If so:

Name: Alexander Charles Lafayette.

Age: 289.

Appearance: Tall and thin. Pale skin and green eyes with jet black hair. Appears to be about 35 years of age. Usually dresses in grey pants and a black coat. His normal demeanor is cold, calm, and intellectual.

Status: Member.

Preferred Weapon: Handgun that fires silver bullets or explosive rounds, a sword cane, and concealed knives. However, he prefers to avoid a fight when he can. If you asked him what his preferred weapon is, he would say his mind.

Bio: Born out of wedlock to Mary Lafeyette, a lady in New France, and Peter Checkov, a commoner from Russia. His father was a vampire, granting him greatly extended life (but not true immortality) as well as superhuman speed, strength, and agility. He lacks most vampiric weaknesses, but does have an aversion to bright Sunlight. After his father fled to protect his mother, she was forced to give Alexander up. He was raised by the Church, becoming a devout Catholic, but fled at 15 when his superhuman abilities became apparent. He fought in the Seven Year's War on the French side before fleeing to France after the English won. Studied medicine in France, and eventually joined the American Paranormal Society. Served in the Society until 1948, then disappeared shortly before its destruction at the hands of the Soviets. Remained out of sight under a fake ID until the early eighties, when he applied to join the reformed Society.

And the plot thickens!

[Nationstatelandsville]

Updated poll, with the added option to change your vote.

[Nationstatelandsville]

OK, so I'm adding a list of monsters to the OP. You guys can help by creating your one monster profiles consisting of:

Name: Name for the species, not a character.
Classification: Daemon (unholy creatures), angel (holy creatures), faeries (magical creatures), jinn (spirits), undead (ghosts, zombies, etc. any creatures that were once mortal), otherworlders (metaphysical creatures from other universes) and monsters (any other physical creature).
Abilities: Physical or magical.
Appearance: Images or descriptions.
Article: To prove it exists in any folklore, religion, mythology, novel series, whatever.
Abilities: Physical or magical.
Weaknesses:

Any monster will do. Here are the monsters I'm making the profiles for: Vampires, werewolves, krakens, orcs, elves, trolls, imps, the Horsemen, seraphims, cherubs and archangels. Don't make any apps for those who fall under the classical sense of a god or a magician. Anything else is fair game.

[Rupudska]

Name: Oni
Classification: Undead
Abilities: Extreme physical strength, many can change their size. Most oni are also heavy drinkers, and have extremely powerful magic. Almost invariably Japanese in origin. Typically wield a Kanabō.
Appearance:

All oni have horns.

Article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oni_(folklore)
Weaknesses: Soybeans. Srsly. (I guess even the Japanese knew that something that badass needed a Weaksauce Weakness to not be a Game Breaker for their mythology.)

It can't be a cross breed. If it was ever alive as a mortal, it's an Undead.

Then it's technically undead, as I read somewhere that Onis usually come from spirits.

Hold that thought. *gets book*

Okay. It seems that if a person does a fair amount of bad deeds in their life, when they die, they run the risk of becoming an oni. According to Japanese folklore, that is.

Ah. Alright, I'll add the app to the OP once you alter it and I finish making mine.

Name: Vyrewatch
Classification: Daemon/Undead
Abilities: Flight, enhanced strength, enhanced speed/agility, enhanced endurance, immortality to age and disease, minor mind-reading abilities
Appearance: Vyrewatch are grey-blue skinned creatures. The eyes of a Vyrewatch are pure red. Vyrewatch have four-inch horns on the top of their heads, which grow past their hair. Vyrewatch have large, two-feet long bat wings that extend from their upper backs and allow them to fly.
Article: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Vyrewatch
Weaknesses: Despite being a breed of Vampire, Vyrewatch are much more rarer than normal Vampires, and are very dangerous (about 15 on a scale of 1-10). Luckily, they only reside in isolated places. Vyrewatch are barely effected by garlic, making it useless to try and weaken one with garlic. Vyrewatch can be weakened by a wooden stake to the heart, but cannot be killed in such a manner. Killing a Vyrewatch requires a special type of metallic material known as "Ivandis". All known Ivandis deposits and materials have been confiscated by the American Paranormal Society's Vampiric Activities and Studies, but it is rumored that a small Ivandis mine in the Middle East was put under the control of the Anti-Vampire Association of Europe.

[Nationstatelandsville]

Name: Vampire
Classification: Undead/Daemon
Abilities: Enhanced strength, enhanced speed/agility, enhanced endurance, flight, immortality to age and disease
Appearance: The normal form of a Vampire is pale skinned, hairless, and with sharp ears like that of an elf. Vampires have a red glow in their pupils, and have sharp white fangs. They can have claws, but most do not. The majority of Vampires are mindless, and do whatever their Vampire lord orders them to. Vampire lords are the masters of mindless Vampires, and are normally very intelligent and old creatures. When a Vampire has consumed enough blood, it is able to take the appearance of a regular human, albeit with strange features such as more pale skin and the red glow in the Vampire's eyes.
Article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire
Weaknesses: All Vampires can be weakened by garlic and silver. Ingesting garlic can be fatal to a Vampire. Silver cannot kill a Vampire unless it comes into contact with the heart. The same applies to wooden stakes, which are the preferred weapon of most Vampire hunters. Sunlight is a major annoyance to most Vampires, but it cannot kill them. Vampires can be harmed and repelled by objects of any Gods that said Vampire fears. For example, if a Vampire fears the Christian God, then Crucifixes and Bibles can repel the Vampire. If the Vampire fears the Muslim God, then a Quran is suitable to repel the Vampire.

Note: These Vampires are somewhat different from most Vampires. And most, if not all, Vampire cases are handled by either the American Paranormal Society or the Anti-Vampire Association of Europe (AVAE).

How so? The Vampires you described are still weakened by garlic. Although I probably missed something.

Yes, but not very. So, if they were weakened by garlic less then the vampires, it would be pretty useless to even try. I require you to repost the Vyrewatch app anyway so I can quote it without the vampire app, but a simple copy paste will do.

You should put the link to my original post up. It's edited and I took out the Vampire app.
