Hybrids

Hybrids are a crossbreed between two or more different supernatural species. The term is commonly used to describe a werewolf turned into a vampire because they were the first type of hybrid to exist, however, they are not the only ones to exist.

A Werewolf-Vampire hybrid are potentially one of the most powerful pseudo-undead creatures, having strengths and characteristics of both vampires and werewolves. Hybrids possess both the strengths and some of the weaknesses of their parent races, along with powerful attributes unique to themselves alone due to their combined heritage, like the toxic bite which is deadly to vampires and werewolves.

Creation
To become a vampire-werewolf hybrid a werewolf must be fed extremely potent vampire blood and die. The potency of the blood is a vital factor as if a young vampire tries to turn a werewolf into a hybrid the outcome will be the werewolf will just die without resurrection.

Hybrids were introduced into the world soon after the vampire-werewolf war started, infact, this was the catalyst for the war. A powerful artifact was required to merge the two bloodlines. Werewolves in seeing their extinction should hybrids become a reality focused their arsenals and tried to fight the vampires, they were unsuccessful in doing so. A tribe of werewolves were captured by the Old Ones and using the artifact, the entire tribe was turned into vampire-werewolf hybrids, making them slaves of the vampires due to the nature of the sire bond.

Feeding
Hybrids are able to sustain a human diet or a blood diet. Hybrids can eat and drink regular human food and drinks or they can survive on a blood diet which sustains both of these needs.

Age
Hybrids are immortal, and do not physically age, remaining identical forever after becoming hybrids. The only noticeable effects of aging are that they become physically stronger with age, and become immune to holy water and stakes will have to become larger to work as they'll regenerate too quickly.

Resurrection
A hybrid can be brought back to life if they weren't staked but were torn to part by a werewolf or crushed or some other random death that doesn't kill them. This is possible by gathering the remains of the deceased hybrid and pouring vampire/hybrid blood onto the remains. The blood will force the joints and body parts back into place and restore the hybrid back to life. However this can have serious affects on a hybrid's mental health and could potentially make them completely insane.

Humanity
Hybrid's humanity is an extremely confusing subject. There's several levels of a hybrid's humanity and it can vary from low, mid level or high. Some hybrids with extremely low humanity could just claim it's off and hold humans in little regard, hybrids on human blood have quite a sadistical view on humans and other races, though this can vary.

Appearance
A hybrid will have completely black eyes with a glowing orange iris, a combination of vampire and werewolf. Their fangs are typically longer than that of vampires. A hybrid's wolf form is extremely different to that of a normal wolf, in that, it looks nothing like a wolf. A hybrid's wolf form looks more like a human/wolf combination.
