Please Note: Room Owner would Ask that those Wishing to Play this Class, talk it over with them first. 
Ghouls:
Carnivorous and cannibalistic species that are only able to feed on humans and other ghouls, meaning they can only survive on the flesh of other humanoids, any sort of animal flesh is impossible for consumption. They are as close to humanoids as possible, though they are not limited only to humans, but can be found among every Species/Class playable in the room. They normally have the same physical appearance and intelligence as a humanoids with the exception of diet, mentality and inner biology. If certain rare conditions are met, ghouls and humanoids may even be able to have offspring, and a ghoul's organs can be successfully transplanted into a humanoid.
Due to their feeding habits, ghouls are prosecuted by any who become aware of their existence, and many have been driven to extinction among their fellow humanoids.
Feeding Habits:
Besides water and coffee, a ghoul can only feed on humanoids and other ghouls. They are unable to digest any other type of food due to a particular enzyme their bodies produce. The structure of their tongues are also different from humans', making other foods taste disgusting and uncomfortable. It has also been said that it effects the actual texture of the food, making it not only unpalatable, but uncomfortable to eat.
While ghouls can't eat normal food, they are able to drink coffee and certain alcohols. They are also able to drink plain water. If ghouls try to eat normal food, they are be struck by a powerful urge to vomit, though through practice many can 'fake' enjoyment of their meals the need to vomit afterwards is unavoidable. When forced or forcing themselves to digest such food, it will degrade their physical condition, making them seem as if they are suffering a flu or cold.
Ghouls don't need to eat in the short term like humans do. They can survive for one or two months just feeding on one body, and the condition of the flesh though it does need to be fresh, does not need to be living while eaten. Those with a more genteel conscience can exist happily on a diet of suicide victims. Despite this though, some ghouls eat merely for pleasure. As an example, one who is fixated upon eating a rare breed of humanoid grown from a bizarre curiosity as to how their flesh would taste.
When a ghoul enters an extreme state of hunger, they will suffer very painful headaches and lose all reason, causing them to become driven by instinct alone. They will feed on any available source of humanoid meat to end this state, even that of close friends or lovers, even to the point of offspring. This state of hunger has been described as hell for any ghoul.
Although ghouls can go up to two months without human flesh, some ghouls can feed on more than eleven people in just a few days, This is known as 'binge eating,' and through this dangerous feeding habit many ghouls have become incredibly powerful, though they loose much of their 'humanity' along the way.
Physical Characteristics:
Ghouls have high physical capability and are four to seven times stronger than the average human. They are able to send the average human flying if they strike with enough force and can penetrate a human's body with their bare hands. They are also able to jump several meters high. This of course varies from ghoul to ghoul, as a ghoul elf will be stronger than a ghoul human, as well as dietary habits.
Under normal conditions, ghouls have a high regenerative ability. Small wounds and fractures heal in a matter of seconds to a day, and even grave wounds heal after few days, as long as the ghoul has adequate food supply. It has been known for ghouls to regenerate everything from arms to lower bodies, though unless a ghoul's special ability allows for otherwise, severing the head from the body will always kill a ghoul. Ghouls also have a tougher body than most regular solid materials. For example, if a ghoul were to be stabbed with a knife, the metal of the knife would break. The body of a ghoul does not get injured easily and it takes both a great deal of force or special materials to puncture their flesh. As such, it is known that in general, only a ghoul can harm another ghoul.
Ghouls have better senses than humans. They can smell people or meat from afar and can tell apart humans and ghouls by their smell. This has been used in several ghoul traps over the generations, and some ghouls have been found to favor set scents in humanoids over others, such as blood types or dietary habits. Though it has not been proven yet, there are rumors that at one time, a family of ghouls were only able to feast on pure flesh and started many a rumor about virgins being better for sacrifices. They also have a heightened sense of hearing that even allows some ghouls to discern individual footsteps from far away.
Ghouls seem to age at the same rate as humans, further allowing them to blend in.
Biology:
Ghouls have an regenerative factor ten times higher than a human. If the average healthy human has about 200-500 regeneration level, where as the ghoul has about 1000-8000 regeneration level. They also possess an organ known as the kakuhou, from which the regenerative cells can harden and break through the skin to form the kagune.
The kagune is a hard, muscle-like protrusion described as their weapons. Like talons or claws, it is natures weapon for the predator that a Ghoul is, and it varies from both species and personality type. It can take the form of a pair of sharp wings or tentacle-like appendages, a tail, or a drill-like object, depending on the ghoul's materials and his or her own personality type. It is also possible for a ghoul to have develop more than one as part of the mutation caused by excessive cannibalism, allowing the ghoul to take on the kagune of the ghoul that was consumed, causing a hybrid of the mutation. Ghouls also have an identifying feature known as a Kakugan, an affliction manifesting in the eyes as red pupils surrounded by black sclera. A ghoul's kakugan can appear either by their own will for the sake of identifying themselves to a fellow ghoul, though it has also been known to appear due to hunger as such a state has been known to cause mental issues within the Ghoul.
Ghouls prefer to consume humanoid flesh, but it is not uncommon for them to cannibalize one another. Ghoul tissue is considered coarse and disgusting, but it has the merits of providing an alternative food source. Furthermore, cannibalism increases a ghoul's regenerative levels to the point of mutation, increasing their kagune's overall power. Occasionally, cannibalistic ghouls gain through this mutation an armor-like kagune besides the predatory kagune that ghouls commonly possess, turning them into kakujas.
All ghouls, though resistant to damage from man-made objects, are vulnerable to damage or modifications made to their mucous membranes, such as nostrils, eyes, ears, and lips.
The origin of these aspects of Ghoul biology is effectively unknown. By and large, nothing is currently known of the origin of the Ghoul species as a whole.
Mortality:
Though powerful and durable predators, Ghouls are still far from immortal.
Generally, a Ghoul will die if it suffers massive trauma that proves fatal before its innate healing ability can stabilize its condition. It is under these conditions, such as severing the head from the body, that one can end the life of a ghoul. It has been known that one can, at times, use specially made weapons to cause this type of injury. It is impossible to do such without said materials though. Ghouls can be killed if forced to consume normal food over a period of time, which will weaken their physical condition and possibly make them vulnerable to man-made objects such as guns, knifes, swords, and other material.
Lifestyle:
Ghouls typically live as hermits, choosing isolation and avoiding society, the fear of being run out or killed ever a possibility. Some have been know to attempt to assimilate with the humans. Living amongst humans is seen as "walking on a thread of rope" because of their biology and social records. However, it has been known to happen successfully, to the extent that half-breed ghouls are known... They are excessively rare due to the difference in biology though, as the non-ghoul mother needs to consume humanoid flesh for the offspring to grow and develop. Female ghouls have not conceived with a humanoid male to date, though that does not mean it is impossible, it is simply undocumented as of yet.
Because a ghoul doesn't require much due to their high physique and their specialized diet of humanoid meat, they can live adequately as vagabonds with little to no money, and many who can not cope in society do in turn live as such. Even so, such a life is generally just as uncomfortable as it might be for a human, as comforts such as a soft bed or warm blankets are valued by both. Due to their diets any money earned from jobs or taken from corpses can be spent on other necessities, like housing or entertainment rather than having to buy food, though many continue to do so for the sake of appearances.
They can pretend to eat food in order to fool other people into believing they are humanoids. However they must make themselves throw up soon enough afterwards, or they'll become sick. Because they can only consume humanoid flesh, they are very territorial when it comes to "hunting grounds" on which it is appropriate to hunt humans without notice, and more than a few ghoul has been killed in a battle over these territories. Humanoid consumption depends on the ghoul's own temperament, some may prefer to be scavengers who only take from people who were recently deceased, where as others can't imagine consuming flesh without the hunt. Most ghouls choose to hunt humanoids as carnivores with the thought of appreciation for the lives they must consume. Even so, there are ghouls who will indiscriminately devour as much as they can, choosing to indulge in the gluttony and added strength. Ghouls who indulge in excess have developed a superficial view on the value of life after consuming so many humanoids, much like how many humanoid species perceive livestock they grow and consume.
