Gameplay
There are many unexplained phenomena in the world, one of the most
prevalent is people developing unusual abilities.
The abilities have little pattern to them but it has been noticed that
genetic relations seems to play at least some part, having a parent or grandparent with a supernatural gift markedly increases the likelihood of a child
having it, although the chances are still incredibly low.
Supernatural creatures also often acquire a variety of paranormal abilities as
they develop. This is much more common than humans developing them,
particularly with associated gifts.
Prolonged exposure to the gate seems to increase the chances for developing
a paranormal gift as well. Overall the development of each supernatural
creature is distinct, while several core traits usually stay the same they
then branch off into many distinct developments. In the case of vampires
and werewolves the one who turned the person usually has an impact on their
development.
Humans who possess some paranormal gift are also more likely to develop
others, although it's unclear if this is natural or because of their greater
exposure to other supernatural elements caused by the pre-existing gift.
Certain abilities can cause concern or hostility amongst others, werewolves
who develop common vampire abilities are often thought poorly of amongst
their group and humans with paranormal gifts are often mistrusted by normal
humans or The Temple.
Supernaturals who develop similar abilities and traits often tend to
cluster, either simply because of their commonality or because of a belief
that they are similar for a reason, sharing a bloodline or being blessed by
a particular spirit etc.
