The supernatural underworld

This is something I've been tinkering with for the past few months. The basic idea is there's a supernatural underworld where supernatural beings run various organized crime families. Right now Vampires and a few demons are at the top of the food chain, controlling various territories I'll post more as I work out the details.

I've added a bit of additional information, and started fleshing out some of the characters. I'll add more as time permits, and the mood hits me. Also, let me know what you think of these guys.
