What would it be like to live in a place where the things that go bump in the night are not as far away as they may seem?

They say that if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere... but their sickening optimism shields them from the truth. The Bridgeport you see in postcards and in the movies is all bright lights and endless partying, but what about those who can't afford the ridiculous entry fees of these "exclusive" clubs? What about those who have the short end of the stick? The Bridgeport these people live in is the total antithesis to this celebrity-filled utopia you see on TV. Corruption, crime and those of a not-so-human persuasion plague the streets, leeching the happiness from the inhabitants. The cops are dirty and the streets are rough and ordinary citizens are struggling to decide the better between two evils - corrupt people in power or the unknown beasts lurking in the shadows.

The Supernatual are a very real threat to the city. Feared by the vast majority of the population without solid proof of their existence and incessant denial from the government, they're known to appear from the shadows in a desperate attempt for survival, taking a helpless victim or three with them to never be seen again. They hunt each other, viciously, for their very natures dictate that they are to fight or flee. Many of the smallest disagreements can often lead to the demise of entire bloodlines.

Vampires dominate the supernatural population with their sprawling families, ever growing due to the longevity of their lifespans. Many of their offspring never see the outside world, slowly being groomed towards the goal of a perfect heir. They stay forever hidden away in stately manor houses lining the outskirts of the city, framing it like a prison fence. Then there's the other part of the vampiric population, devoid of the aristocratic finesse of those more fortunate. The sadistic tendencies in these beasts have not been mellowed by fine wine and manor houses, so they have been known to kill each other to pass the time.

Werewolves are considered by the vampiric elite to be somewhat of a “lesser species”. Their animalistic natures do not take the form of a human being come full moon, instead morphing into an enormous canine, capable of destroying most things in its path. The werewolf is a very pack-orientated creature - packs are for life, and without a pack they are nothing. They rarely breed, and that's usually when packs mix - to avoid interrelation. The wolf form of any given werewolf is random, and it usually appears in adolescence. Many a young wolf has died trying to challenge his father for dominance, so it's wise for a young boy to leave not long after he finds his wolf form.

Fairies are the hidden species. They have a giant influence on the world. See the actors that appear to be unnaturally beautiful? That person is a descendant of the fae. Fairies are not your typical “dance through the woods singing” type of creature. They have immense amounts of power, cannot be controlled, and can influence the world around them. They build their homes with magic, babies are born with magic, and the fair folk remain hidden yet are idolized by many.

Witches are perhaps the most undiscovered species. They can easily force you to forget them, and they live among humans. Their familiars are sneaky and possess the magic of no other animals. Witches store their magic in the metals and jewels that they decorate with, and when stirred you'll quickly find yourself horribly cursed. Their life spans and reproduction are the same of humans.

The other dominate species is humans. They take the majority of the city, ruining it and paving the streets with sins. They abuse their children, kill each other and are over all scum. Many of them have mental disorders and find themselves in the crappy mental hospital just down the street. But when they stumble across something their minds quite aren't prepared for..it's not often they stay alive very long.

Welcome to Bridgeport, the place of everyone's darkest dreams.
