* '''Vampires''', In Edgewalkers Vampirism is a virus that gives you a thirst for blood, SuperSenses and SuperSpeed (Well specifically it gives you [[RequiredSecondaryPowers "Zero Friction"]] which lets you choose between SuperSpeed or PlayingWithFire). The Vampire subspecies are '''Banshees''' who've contracted a stable strain of the virus that gives them hollow bones, [[MakeMeWannaShout powerful lungs]] and no qualms with killing people and '''Denials''' who have all the powers of "A storybook vampire" because their latent faith magic has gone a little haywire.

* BadassPreacher: Believers tend to be this.
* HybridOverkillAvoidance: Played with. While it is possible to mix Vampire, Werewolf and Ghoul up it's impossible to do it through sex since Vampires are infertile and Ghouls aren't biologically close enough to the other species to copulate.

* FiveRaces: There are five main races (Human, Ghoul, Werewolf, Vampire and Tejcoto) but they don't typically fit into any of the categories. At best Ghouls are High Men, Tejcoto are The Fair Folk, Humans are Mundane, Werewolves are Stout and Vampires are Cute ... or maybe Sexy might be a better fit.

* AppliedPhlebotinum, Faith Magic, a mixture of ReligionIsMagic and YourMindMakesItReal. In The Edgewalkers world belief is pretty damn powerful.

* OurMonstersAreDifferent, they live and mingle alongside human society.
** OurBansheesAreLouder, They're vampires who've contracted a stable form of vampirism.
** OurGhoulsAreCreepier, A really unusual version. Ghouls are a wholly separate species to humans but very similar.
** OurVampiresAreDifferent, They're the typical urban fantasy type unless they grow up isolated in which case they get all the superpowers and abilities of a storybook vampire. They're helped out by a group called the Franchise.
** OurWerebeastsAreDifferent, Lycanthropy mostly shows up in humans but sometimes shows up in Ghouls which makes them into giant purple Sasquatch's.
** OurMonstersAreWeird, Stalkers and Summon creatures can be made up of nearly any combination of abilities, and have their own exclusive traits as well meaning you can summon a pair of flaming dinosaurs with super speed.

Edgewalkers is a pen and paper RPG by Jackal Pack Games that runs on it's own system that involves 3 d10 dice. It's a typical UrbanFantasy/ [[TheMasquerade Masquerade]] type deal revolving around the politics and interactions between criminal groups of monsters living on "The Edge" (Which is basically the parts of the city/ town/ world which monsters inhabit). A very good example of OurMonstersAreDifferent.

** OurMonstersAreWeird, Stalkers and Summon creatures can be made up of nearly any combination of abilities, and have their own exclusive traits as well meaning you can summon a pair of flaming dinosaurs with super speed.

Each species is divided into three "classes" (Typically the species proper and then two "Supspecies"). The players each pick one and play as that. They get to choose between:

* '''Tejcoto'', Are an original creation, the Tejcoto were an [[{{Mayaincatec}} ancient South American culture]] with very powerful faith magic. Unfortunately their culture was annihilated by their own power. And now they've started to come back into "The New World" through places where reality has been weakened. Like humans the Tejcoto are basically three different subspecies. The spindly, monkey-like '''Scouts''' come into the world through places where belief has worn the fabric of reality thin. '''Shifters''' possess someone who's mind has been shattered and broken, as the name suggests they're shape changers. The last and most monstrous are '''Stalkers''' who take control of a Summoners monster.
* '''Crossbreeds''', In Edgewalkers there are four HeinzHybrids of the three main monsters (Werewolves, Vampires and Ghouls). A Ghoul who contracts vampirism will become a '''Nosferatu''', who's completely and totally insane but can control rats, pigeons and vermin to do their bidding. A werewolf who contracts Vampirism becomes a '''Sasquatch''' who slowly transforms into a vampire until they drink blood. A Ghoul who develops lycanthropy becomes a brooding '''Sasquatch''' and if they're unfortunate to contract vampirism then they become the psychotic, power hungry and ultimately unplayable '''Wendigo'''.
