downworlders are part demon part human, and its
because of that human part that stops the shadow
hunters from killing them off, but those of the circle
want nothing more than to destory them.
vampirism is a demon disease that affects humans
and turns them into blood stucking vampires. they
do not age from the time they are turned. not all
vampires are beautiful, because not everyone is
beautiful and they look the way the did when they
were turned, just pale. they have blood running
through their vains ( this was given in the third
book when valentine had drained the blood of
them as well as other downworlders and even
a shadowhunter) vampires are also called children
of the night. when they are drunk they turn into
either a rat, a bat, or a pile of dust (if a pile of dust
than when the effects wear off they'll return to
normal) they call their newborns fledglings, all
newborns are burried and must dig their own
way out, however if there isn't someone there
to help them than they stay in a state of being
alive, but being dead. not really either. oh and
before i forget, vampires do not sparkle. there
has only ever been one vampire able to walk in
the light, and that is simon, who is not alive during
this time. vampires also run in clans
werewolfs are called children of the moon as well
as lycanthrope. they can change into wolves at
anytime they desire, but are more powerful in during
a full moon. like vampirism, lycanthrope is a demon
disease that affects humans. lycanthropes run in a
pack, and there for has one alpha male. the only way
to change alpha male position is to fight for it, and the
leader must be killed. they run in clans and if the alpha
male commands something, they see it through. silver
is poision to them. like in all tales, werewolves and
vampires do not like each other.
warlocks and witches are also known as children of lilith
witches and warlocks are crossbreds. they have demon
and human blood in them. because they are crossbreeds
they can not reproduce. it is possible to be a witche or
wizard and not have any powers at all.
are also called fey as well as children of demon and angels.
they have demon and angel blood running through them and
have been on earth longer than any race known. they are
mischievious and dramatic. they enjoy toying with people,
although they can never tell lies, or at least the seelie queen
can not. faeries are a part of the seelie court, which is ran
by the seelie queen.
demons come from another dimension and are
hunted down by shadowhunters. they are pure
evil. demons bring with them diseases that
effect humans ( and shadowhunters ), turning
them into many of the known downworlders.
demons are enemies to everyone.
a shadowhunter) vampires are also called children
shadowhunters are also known as children of nephilim
the are humans who have angel blood in their viens.
one can be born a shadowhunter, or turned into one
at a young age with the mortal cup, those who are
to drink from the cup may not make it, only a few
do. shadowhunters tend to die fairly young, which
means that they have problems with their numbers.
shadowhunters are trained at a very early age, they
are given their first mark on either their left or right
hand, depending on what hand they write with. they
use a tool called a stele to mark their bodies with
runes that give them strength and help them defeat
demons, or protect themselves. most runes vanish
after use, however some stay burned into their skin,
and it because of those runes that one can truely
tell if someone is a shadowhunter. shadowhunters
are generally very loyal. once they give their oath,
which is said in the name of the angel, they can not
in any means break that oath.
the clave is the shadowhunter's system of government.
it consists of a counsil, who make the laws and sign
the peace treaty ( the Accords ). they run the show
so to speak. also they have an inquisitor, who is the
sole person who upholds the laws, a shadowhunter
police officer so to speak. if the inquisitor says you
are guilty, than no questions are asked by anyone
else, so beware not to get on his or her's bad side.
lastly is the cousul, who advices both the council
and the inquisitor.
the circle is made up of young shadowhunters who
believe that the clave is flawed, and that the demons
and downworlders do not belong in this world, therefor
should be destoryed. their leader is valentine morgenstern.
means that they have problems with their numbers.
mundanes are just average humans. humans can
not see downworlders, shadowhunters, or demons
who are in their true forms. it is very very very rare
for a human to have the 'sight' in which to see every
thing.
