(Infernals/Celestials - complete!)
Infernals
Filled with the power of the night sky, alluring as a lover's caress in the darkness, Infernals are the stuff of nightmares and wetdreams. Subversive and manipulative, they'll charm you out of your socks, wallet, and firstborn child and be gone with the goods before you realize what's happened.
Total population of Infernals between Earth and Acheron: 2.5 billion. Infernals are 10 times stronger than the average human.
The ones capable of building a bridge to cross between Acheron and Earth are called "Striders". Their numbers are few, but they are among the most powerful of Infernals, and they always have a guard or five somewhere near to them, as their powers are necessary to obtaining control of the Earth. (Note: All Striders are NPCs that I'll personally be bringing into play, unless someone thinks they can effectively play as one of the Seven Deadlies.)
subraces: Succubi, Incubi, etc.
~Diavols (half Infernal, half human)
Their population worldwide is around 550,000. Considering the total number of Infernals in Acheron is around 2.5 billion, this number is relatively low in a population of nearly 7 billion bodies here on Earth.
Diavols age slightly more slowly than normal humans, an average of one year for every ten years that have passed once they reach maturity. Diavols with more dominant Infernal genes are more resilient than their Human-dominant counterparts. They heal faster, move more quickly, and are less susceptible to sickness and disease. Infernal-dominant Diavols are 8 times stronger than an average human. Human-dominant Diavols are 6 times stronger.
There's nothing inherently "evil" about them, or their more pure Infernal cousins. They have jobs and lives just like any other human, aside from some of their deformities. Some are easy to hide, others not so much. The more extreme ones, such as massive bat-like wings, often lead to a life of solitude or very unusual living conditions/places of employment.
*More dominant Infernal genes lead to at least two, but no more than four, of the following physical deformities: oddly colored eyes, cloven feet, tail, wings, horns, fangs, scent of sulfur, reddish tinged skin, scales, forked tongue, as well as others.
*More dominant human genes result in at least one, but no more than two, of the same.
Celestials
Their faces inspire hope and song, they are beautiful beyond compare... But they can be terrifying in their strength, and just as legendary in their cruelty.
Total population in Elysium: 2 billion. Celestials are 9 times stronger than the average human.
The ones in their ranks who create the bridges are known as "Builders". Again, their numbers are few, but they are precious to Elysium. (All Builders will be NPCs played by me, as well, unless someone thinks themselves able to effectively portray a certain Virtue.).
~Ingers (half Celestial, half human)
Population on Earth: 500,000
Ingers age at almost the same rate as Diavols: one year per every eight years that pass. Celestial-dominant Ingers tend to be more enthralling physically than their human-dominant counterparts. They don't fall ill as easily, they heal faster, and they're stronger. The average Celestial-dominant Inger is 7 times stronger than the average uman, whereas the average human-dominant Inger is 5 times stronger.
They may appear angelic, but an Inger is just as likely to mug an old lady for her purse or shank you for your car keys as an Infernal or that homeless man with no teeth who hangs about three alleys away from your apartment.
*More dominant Celestial genes lead to at least two, but no more than four, of the following physical deformities: feathered wings in proportion to their body, non-functional wings, glowing blue eyes, all white eyes, breath of frost, touch of frost, voicequake (the ability to inflict damage/destroy with the sheer volume of their voice, sometimes without the control of the Inger.), etc.
*More dominant Human genes result in at least one, but no more than three, of the same.
***The deformities listed are only some of the possibilities. Do feel free to come up with your own, since this is supposed to be about fun and customization.***

Vampires (see below)
Werewolves (see below)
Other races are possible. Please speak with an admin or mod if you'd like to bring in something else. If you've got your own class or species made up, we're more than likely to accept it. ^^

Half Celestial/Half Infernals DO NOT EXIST. Their genes destroy each other, like a battle between bacteria and leukocytes. There has yet to be a successful Infernal/Celestial birth, but there are talks of genetic experimentation on both sides to attempt to eradicate all the half-breed flaws present in human hybrids, and produce all of the advantages of both races.
