Society of Werewolves

This cult begins its existence in Luoyang, China.

Officially, the Werewolf Society presents itself as a reinterpretation of Marxist theory, aiming at genuine equality and establishment of a proletariot world order. Among the upper echelons of the cult, the long-term goal of transforming all human beings into werewolves and establishing a new political order is recognized. A common ideological justification is an adpation of Freudion theory, in which werewolf nature allows expression of the repressed id, which makes such individuals more collected and mentally balanced during their time as a human.

Once bitten or scratched by a werewolf, a human undergoes a physiological change, henceforth transforming into a wolf-entity during the night four days after infection. Henceforth, its cycle of animal-form occurs every eighteen days. Contrary to popular belief, the presence of the moon is irrelevant.

While in animal-form, the werewolf has speed comparable to a cheeta in short bursts, great reserves of energy and a high level of durability. All senses are greatly enhanced and there appears to be some form of psychic connection operating among the full werewolves, although the details of this remain poorly understood. Werewolves will not attack other werewolves, or even were-humans in their non-animal states. In their animal states werewolves have a basic need to hunt, though interestingly they do not actually need to consume meat.

In its human state, the werewolf is indistinguishable from a regular human, but possess increased strength, endurance, speed and vastly greater sensory abilities.

Werewolves: The First Five Months

Origin: Luoyang, China.

Month 1: 60 Werewoves, 20 directly a part of the cult.

Month 5: 17,000 Werewolves, 14,000 of them directly affiliated with the cult. The Werewolves have increased their nubmers drastically, and have spread to include many of the influential political figures in local government. Such gains have drawn suspicions, however, and the Communist Party of China is increasingly viewing the cult as a threat to their power. At present, the true nature of the werewolf influence remains unknown.

Amalgamated Union of Necromancers

This cult begins its existence in Paris, France.

At present it has one hundred Necromancers, five hundred cultists and several thousand of the Animated.

Necromancers have a variety of supernatural abilities, including telekinesis, biokinesis and a limited form of teleportation, but their most significant power is animation, the ability to give movement and a form of life to otherwise dead or immobile things. The process of animation works by the Necromancers's creating an essence-beyond-life, which is enfused into some object. Traditionally Necromancers have animated the dead, but in principle any object can be brought to life, although based on the mechanics of the object, the animated entity may be relatively awkward. The levels of intelligence of the animated vary, determined by the level of effort used to create their essence-beyond-life, with most having some level of sentience. Necromancers can easily destroy their creations, and command obedience over their followers on the basis of their life-or-death power.

Originated: Paris, France

The First Five Months of the Necromancers

Month 1 Numbers: 10 Masters, 140 Students, 418 Followers, 1,800 Animated. All adherents of the Necromancer cult are in the city and immediate suburbs of Paris.

Month 5: 40 Masters, 6000 Students, 3000 Followers, 40,000 Animated. 70% of the cult is within France, 50% is within Paris. Beyond France, most of the Necromancer following is in Spain and Italy, with much smaller networks in Germany, Poland, England, Switzerland, Belgium and Sweden. Virtually no Necromancer presence exists outside these areas.

Publicly, the Union fronts as a technical repair service with associated "social support system". At present, virtually no suspicion has been aroused. French Intelligence has assessed the group as being no threat, and little security or public attention has been given to the cult.

Ghoul Confederation

This cult begins its existence on the outlying areas of Sydney, Australia.

Ghouls have three distinct types. The females lay eggs, and alone ensure the reproduction of the species. Drones are physically powerful but not very intelligent, they do the bidding of the Females and form the main backbone of the Ghoul labor, performing all necessary work and fighting. Scouts are intelligent, infiltrating elements, using their learning and wit to infiltrate human society.

The First Five Months

Origin: Barren waste in Eastern Australia.

Month 1: 70 Ghouls; 10 Females, 50 Drones, 10 Scouts.

Month 5: 800 Ghouls, 50 Females, 720 Drones, 30 Scouts.

There is no Australian awareness of the spreading reach of the Ghoul Confederation. Some elements of Australity security and intelligence on a local and national level have investigated the increased cases of wild animal activity and damage to farming property. The investigations were detoured, and intensive Ghoul infiltration of these agencies initiated. The Ghouls have no prsence outside of Australia, but intensive manipulation of Australian food producers has lead to large quantities of resources being allocated, and the Pack has every expectation of continued growth.

Vampires United

This cult begins its existence in New York City, United States.

Vampires must drain the blood and life of others in order to survive and increase their strength. In general, they require 3 pints per week for survival, and 10 pints to thrive. They can turn a human into a vampire, but this process is draining and does not provide them with sustenance.

Vampires can function in sunlight, but are irritated and have greatly reduced hearing. They are extrmeley physically tough and resistant to most form of physical assault. Vampires can be killed through inflicting substantial damage to the heart or brain. Additionally, they are midly allergic to perpendicular angles and Buddhist religious iconry.

The First Five Months

Origin: New York City, NY, USA.

Month 1: One vampire.

Month 5: 30,000 vampires.

Lurking in the subways, the vampires have preyed on individuals and small groups that ventured out alone. Some were drawn out by the propaganda and promises of Vampires United, others ambushed as they went on their buisness. Of all to be attacked by the vampires, almost none have escaped. Their are either drinken, turned into a vampire or drained into giant blood tanks.

With the rabid expansion of the vampires' numbers, there have been various rivalries and conflicts among Vampires United. There was a serious challenge to the leadership of Vampires United in month four, and an attempt to overhthrow the Progenitor was made. Thousands of vampires perished, but the old hierarchy survived.

The increased number of disapperances and deaths have sparked growing awareness of the cult. New York City is in a state of semi-crisis, and the governor of the state has been aprised of the unknown, mysterious threat. Several days ago five SWAT teams raided the deep underground of the sewers. They have yet to report back, and panic is growing.
