⚠️Important. You might want to read the following to have a better understanding of the story. ⚠️
Monster island. The most basic name ever, but it's exactly what it sounds like. It's an island that is separated from the rest of the world that all Vampires, zombies, ghosts, ghouls, goblins, and unknowns are banished to. It's about the size of irl Canada.
Lumina is half Russian and half Romanian. Rejected by her original parents, she continuously gets rejected of love she didn't even get to ask for.
Things to remember:
The dead will only rise and become a zombie if their death was not supposed to happen at that moment and time. They will only continue living as a zombie for the amount of time they would have had left as a full human. Then, they will die. Zombies also do not remember how they die at all whatsoever, but they remember their past lives and what they did.
Vampires' tolerance of sunlight varies depending on whom it is. For example, one vampire's tolerance of sunlight could be as great as a human, whereas another vampire may get extreme sunburn. Vampires cannot die. They will only heal and continue to live forever. At the age a vampire's fangs can cut through a thick rope, is when the vampire will stop aging mentally and physically, but continue to live on. Vampires are also born with different abilities. This can vary beyond knowledge.
