Humans (hex: aa5d87) – Normal, everyday humans with no magical powers or drive to hunt the magical beings that wander around. Most are fairly in the dark about the entire magical community and rely on various media sources to get their information… which usually results in them knowing more about how dangerous various magical beings are. There are also quite a few humans who romanticize magical life.
Slayers (hex: aa805d) – While the details and responsibilities of slayers are given by their individual organizations, slayers in and of themselves were founded with the idea of keeping the non-magical world safe from the magical one. Because of the recent revelation of the magical world, slayer organizations are trying to figure out where they belong in this new world. Some have begun to see the magical community at fault and have made it their goal to completely exterminate the magical world; others have decided that, since they are specially trained to watch the magical community, that they will act as a sort of police force and remove only the dangerous creatures. Either way, slayers are slowly finding their paths, and many have moved to New Orleans due to the large population of magical creatures.
Slayer organizations vary greatly. Not only do they see their new purpose differently, but different organizations have different standards on recruitment, various rules, techniques, and what creatures they target. Most only recruit humans, though there are some groups that allow magical creatures into their ranks; some only hunt certain creatures, for whatever reason; some impose rules such as celibacy, eternal loyalty to the order until death, etc.
Making a slayer organization? PM Valerie with information about the organization and it’ll be here and eligible for characters to join.
The Shadow Sword - A small group of elite Slayers that act somewhat like a police force in the idea that they try to keep the magical community safe from humans, and vice versa. Most of the time they investigate various disappearances and the like, and their main focus is on rooting out the more dangerous magical beings out there and destroying them. There's a thorough recruitment process, which is the reason for its small size, and they have a preference for recruiting humans (in face, there has only been one magical member as to date). Members are allowed to leave the organization whenever they want (after swearing they won't tell any of the organization's secrets, of course), and during the term of their membership they're supposed to be celibate.

The Light Bringers - It is the mission of the Light Bringers, a a global slayer organization, to bring light into the world by exterminating all magical beings. These beliefs have created a rivalry between the Light Bringers and the Shadow Sword. The Light Bringers are extremely selective with their members, selecting members based on their hatred of the magical beings that inhabit the earth and their willingness to act on this anger in a productive way. It is just as hard to leave the organization once you have joined as it is to get chosen, but it is possible, as long as the member swears an oath to never speak about what went on during their time of service.

Magical (hex: 5daa80) – Any being that’s magical. It’s a rather broad category, filled with a lot of magical creatures that follow different rules of existence, which makes it difficult to categorize them any further than this. The magical community is more or less still trying to stay hidden, not wanting to see what further revelation would do to opinion on them, especially because of the slayers’ reaction. Magical beings tend to form groups with one another, whether out of security or mutual learning, and it’s not uncommon for the magical community to watch each other’s backs, species loyalty aside.
