Main Plot

Alabama is proposing a law that will require all preternatural creatures to register and to identify themselves to the public. This has split the state in to two groups, which are those that want the bill to pass and those who don’t want the bill to pass. Each group is doing what it takes to get their individual goals achieved, both legal and not so legal. There is a lot at stake if this bill is passed, because it could become nationwide bill. So all across the nation, beings both mundane and preternatural are watching how events unfolds in Alabama were history is being made and the outcome could cost people their lives and start a war that neither side is prepared for.

But not everything is so easy even for someone like Dante. What about those supported Selene, or even deem Dante unworthy of his position?
Gators
Power and Peace. The Gator's have been in power in the lycanthrope community ever since they destroyed the pack and it's leader. Peace has come to be more so since the arrival of a new King, Drake a younger king and a rock star. He has managed to create and keep alliances with not only the snakes but vampires as well. The gators have no become one of the most secure and organized groups with in mobile. But will their safety last? One gator has already been attacked, in the past few months, will that be it for them? Or will the war for survival coming knocking hard on their doorsteps?
Wolves
Defeat is a temporary state. the wolves made a war with the Pod and they suffered a crippling defeat at the hands of Rene and the Pod, a through routing of the ruling party of the wolves has scattered the pack to the winds. After the wolves failed to defeat the gators in the swamp they became anyone's meat. Pushed to the bottom of the food chain their Ulfric is dead as are the ruling members of the pack save the Skoll. however someone seems to have come in to pull the wolves out of the fire. Will the wolves take kindly to the assistance from this new female? With a new Ulfreya in Mobile can this outsider impress what is left of the pack in order to re build the shattered pack of Mobile? Will her past catch up with her, or will someone come to take the position she has claimed?
The wolves have been slowly rising, coming forward and advancing. Jamie has evolved her self, and even though she has placed the wolves on strained relations with one group, she is forcing herself to keep it from happening with any more. Pack members have been returning to Mobile, there are many wolves slowly creeping up all around and the pack is quickly gaining in numbers again. It's still a struggle cause she is lacking the experienced and controlled Alpha's she needs to run a pack, to teach it. Yet still the wolves keep getting dragged again and again into more and more ugly circumstances. Attack on one of their own in the public eye, the bombing at the halloween party they threw. The question being, is how many times can they face the ugly, before makes them fall to pieces again?
Snakes
With the strong anti preternatural sentiment in Alabama not many snakes have chose to live in Mobile. The snakes have decided to claim they are neautral with all groups, no one can have thier favor against another. The snakes own Once Bitten a supernatural only club, one that rather well known in fright town. But will their claims of being neutral really last? What about the humans who target the supernaturals?
Leopards
A minor player in the politics of Mobile's preternatural scene the leopards of Mobile stay out of the limelight at the behest of a mysterious and elusive Nimir-Raj. The shadowy leader of the local Pard keeps a tight leash, a very tight leash on the leopards and keeps them from making too much noise in the political time bomb that is Alabama. With this ruling the leopards rarely out themselves and like to lead more quiet lives with the occasional exception here and there. The price being a limited voice in the preternatural community along with little political weight in negotiations and a small power base to protect themselves.
Tigers
With immense political sway and old money from well placed investments the white tiger clan in Mobile is a secretive but powerful force in Alabama. One of the groups who are actively and publicly fighting the registration act mostly with public get-to-knows and question/answer sessions with outed lycanthropes the security at these events is heavy to protect those outing themselves publicly. The Chang of Mobile is an older woman and her continued rein has been accepted due to her experience in running the public and private affairs of the Streak of Mobile along with her management skills of the Streak's less legal ways of fighting the registration act mostly consisting of bribing and intimidation of the politicians of Alabama. Under the table and unbeknownst to the public and preternatural community alike the Tigers have been providing weapons and money to the group of gangsters that makes up the local werelions of Mobile in exchange for intimidating and knee breaking certain politicians that refuse to vote against the registration act. despite all her clout and political power the Chang is feeling her age and Younger blood have ambitions that they might not be able to resist.
Hyenas
The Hyena's are one of the most organized and certainly the most reclusive group with in Mobile. Their Oba Devon, keeps a level head with other groups, and her hyenas in control. Although Devon still manages to have a bit of hand and say in the community it isn't a very large one. Though not everything is perfect in their world. Sometimes lycanthrope ears don't hear everything, especially those working against you.
Lions
The Pride of Mobile are little more than a well organized street gang. They deal in drugs, money, guns and anything else they can get their paws into. The biggest gang in Mobile they are the weakest in the preternatural community while still being an organized group. The Rex of Mobile was originally gangmember and used his accidental infection to his advantage. Taking over what little lions were in Mobile, and making a pride filled with his most trusted gang allies. Now the Change uses them, in exchange for protection. The Pride would be provided money and weapons and the police would look the other way as long as the Lions intimidated the people the Tigers needed scared into submission. This deal works well for the tigers allowing them to avoid execution warrants and continue their illegal activities in Mobile. Still, time is running short for them, the Chang's protection only lasts as long as she lives, even then thats running short with the dangerous games they play. Lions from around the country have taken notice, one of them may yet usurp him.
Bears
There are only 5-6 bears in Mobile, knowing each other and taking care of each other, so there is not real reason for anyone to bother them. Easy going and just living it up like with their jars of honey. However, bears being the biggest of all Lycanthropes in modern times, could be the best allies to have. But nothing ever last long, even being the biggest lycanthropes they are still small group something to easily target.
Rats
Third largest group in Mobile, they have eyes and ears in everything in Mobile Alabama. The Rats Take a hands off approach, while also neutral within the preternatural community. They are against the Preternatural Registration Act, but have yet to do anything about it. It is known that the Tiger want a alliance with the rats, because of their connection. So far it is all talk, because the rats are used to doing their own thing. However they realize this law cannot be ignored.
Merfolk
They make most of their money running the marina and various seafood restaurants. They are the only group who could care less if the law is passed, because they will not be affected by it. If it’s passed they can move on to another place in another port. Also humans never really have seen a mermaid or could tell who they truly are. So they are a mystery to human, so their society would remain secret. They fear no preternatural group because they live in the sea and are pretty much untouchable unless they are on land.
Swans
They are the only group that is belonging to one single group that is spread across the nation and rule by a single king and queen. Each group still has one leader, but they report to the main king and queen that rule them all. The small group in Mobile is scattered, tossed in the wind. Although still undected by the majority of the groups, it is only a matter of time as the pressure rises before the cage shuts close on them.
Humans
The true group for the registration of the preternatural community, however there are various groups with their own agendas for having this passed. We have the normal lobbyist and politicians doing what the voters want. While the religious wants the abominations outset so they can send them out of town. There is a group of Humans who secretly hunt down the preternatural community with weekly hunting trips. They want the law to pass so they can hunt down them easier and in more numbers.
