Apollite:

A member of a race cursed by the god Apollo. They cannot be out in daylight and they must live on the blood of each other. On their 27th birthday, they die a slow and painful death over the course of a twenty-four hour period unless they decide to turn Daimon and prey on human souls. So long as the human soul is alive inside them, they can live. The moment the soul expires, they die. Therefore, they are always trying to find new souls to take.

Blood-Rites:

Squires who are called out to perform blood hunts to terminate any Squire who breaches his/her oath and endangers the Dark-Hunters or their world. They are also called in to execute a "rogue" Dark-Hunter who has turned against humans. Blood-Rites Squires are marked by a spider web-like tattoo on the hand.

Charonte:

A race of demons from Atlantis who are extremely violent and amoral. But they have a very interesting code of ethics.

Daimon

An Apollite who refuses to docilely die over a curse s/he had no part in creating. They feed on human souls and fight the Dark-Hunters. They are mistakenly called vampires, but vampires are a different entity.

Dark-Hunter

An ancient warrior who sold his/her soul to the Greek goddess Artemis for a single act of vengeance. Now they protect mankind from the Daimons who want to claim our souls.

Dream-Hunter

They are the gods of sleep who were cursed by Zeus to feel no emotion whatsoever. But they carry within them a dark secret that could completely shake the world in which they live. The Oneroi branch are often helpers to the Dark-Hunters.

Oracle:

A human who speaks with the gods. They tend to be really crusty/cranky people. We think it's because they don't get enough sleep. Too many voices in their head.

Squire:

A human who is employed by a Dark-Hunter or a human who has skills that make a Dark-Hunter's life a bit easier. They have an entire organization set up and are willing to die or kill to protect the secret of the DH world.

Were-Hunter:

Originally part of the Apollite race, a Were-Hunter's DNA was magically spliced with animals so that they wouldn't die at age 27. Now they are shape-shifters who are embroiled in a war against each other and they live for centuries, but are not immortal.
