Protettores


History

The Protettores started by Jack Carlyle and seven of his friends that knew of the supernatural world and after finding out about the hunters, wanted to make sure that the creatures were safe and weren't all killed off. The Protettores were started to shut down the hunters and to stop them from killing the creatures, not to try and find all the best ways to make the creatures lives super easy with no danger at all.

It wasn't long before more people joined and they had a good amount of members, getting close to a hundred. Six months after the first meeting they decided they would go to the council and tell the council members about what they were doing. They had planned it out and they had thought it would go really well but it didn't go anything like they had planned it and it had ended with a death threat. The council has told them to stop interacting with the vampires, werewolves and warlocks (that are now extinct because of the hunters) and top not tell anyone else about the supernatural world or they would be killed, every single Protettore member.

The Protettores weren't planning to stop what they were doing and they just became more careful in what they did and made sure that any creatures they helped promised not to tell the council. They did well and as they continued to fight against the hunters, they got many more members and moved around the world. They had started off in Italy then they moved to England, then to other places in Europe, to America, Australia and after a little more than a century there were Protettores in nearly every country.

Things went well for the next century and the Protettores became much larger but then the hunters were always getting more members too. It became a much bigger thing because the hunters were always getting new weapons, new technology to use to kill the creatures quicker and less messy and the Protettores were trying to stay non-violent. Some became violent, getting weapons and beginning to fight the hunters and some even killing them. As that began to happen, side changing also started and there were Protettores becoming hunters but also hunters becoming Protettores. Side changing made it harder to know who was on whos side.


Becoming a Protettore

Most of the Protettores choose to become one as an adult or teen after finding out about the supernatural world and seeking more information about it. In a way, becoming a Protettore after growing up only knowing about the human world does make you weaker but then in a way it can make you stronger.

You have to go through training which can go for a year, two years or three years depending on your skill level. There have also been people that have only needed to go through training for a couple of months. Usually it is hunter thats change sides that need the leasyt amount of training because they have been through the much harder hunter training and know things like self defense already.

The lesser amount of Protettores are born into Protettore families and are trained by there parents throughout their childhood and teens and complete their training when they turn eighteen. The good thing about that is that they have a lot more time to learn things and it can be easier when you are taught by your parents and grow up knowing all about the supernatural world.

There are children in Protettore families though that never find out about the supernatural world and live normal lives or don't start their training until they are older. It is the parents choice in what the decide to do with their child and if they want to train them to be a Protettore or not, we don't force parents to train their children.


Skills

When going through training, Protettores learn a few different skills to help them when they come against a hunter or are faced with and angry creature in front of them. Different trainers teach different skills but here is a list of the most basic and needed ones:

• Fitness
  
• Self Defense
  
• Tree climbing
  
• Multiple languages (Italian, Russian and English are the main ones encouraged to know)
  
• Weapon Training (Still discouraged by some)
  
• Tracking (rare for a Protettore to know it, usually specifically for one species)
  

As well as the skills, Protettores are meant to know a good amount of information about the species and what to do in particular situations. Part of a Protettores training is reading and learning the information.

Secrecy

Just a warning to everyone that you do need to be careful about who you tell about the supernatural world and also about which creatures you help, especially if you are in an area close to where the council members live. There are humans that will want to experiement on the creatures and we don't want that. And the council still don't like us so be cautious.


Leaving

Unlike the Hunters, Protettores are free to leave the group if that's what they wish to do. The only thing that is part of leaving, is promising not to give information about the supernatural world and the Protettores to anyone else.
