Here on THE INSTITUTE we have certain species that we only allow you to choose from. In order to know how each species is described by Candra Clare and her novels, here is our description of how they are depicted.
SHADOWHUNTERS
Shadowhunters are half human, half angel. They were given the power by the angel Raziel to fight demons, and keep the werewolves, vampires, and other Downworlders in line. They are raised at birth as warriors and taught to kill demons upon sight. They use runes which they are able to bestow powers upon themselves (i.e. strength, agility, etc.). These runes are tattooed onto their skin and kept on their skin forever. They are placed on them with what is called an iratze. This item is given to every Shadowhunter. Shadowhunters also are all from the country of Idris, where many Shadowhunters live unless they are stationed at the many Institutes placed around the world.
VAMPIRES
Vampires are half demon half human. Only seen as a demonic disease. They are subject to being only by moonlight. If hit by the sun they are killed instantly and there is no way of them coming back or returning from it. They must feed on blood to survive, and travel in covens. In order for a vampire to rise, they must be given a proper burial, and must help themselves to be born into their new life. Meaning they must crawl out of their own grave.They are also the mortal enemies of the werewolves.Can be killed by sunlight or a stake in the heart. They are immortal beings otherwise.
WEREWOLVES
Werewolves are half human, half demon, only by a demonic disease. Cursed to specifically turn on the full moon, after much practice werewolves have learned to turn at will. They always travel in packs and listen to an alpha. In order for an alpha to rise, they must be the strongest of the group. If an alpha is already existing and one would like to take over that pack, said werewolf needs to kill the other alpha to become the leader of that pack. Wolves have bad tempers and are the mortal enemies of vampires.They are able to be killed by silver in the heart. They do not live forever
THE FAIR CHILDREN
The Fair Children, also known as the Fae, are tricksters. They are also half demons, half angels, but they are more fiendish to their demon side. They are beautiful on the outside but malicious on the inside. They all surrender to one queen known as the Seelie Queen. Fairies are always hidden in nature, but they do not like to mingle with Downworlder or Shadowhunter politics. They keep to themselves and love to keep their enemies close. They never lie, but they will bend the truth to their benefit. All things they do is in their benefit and they love to be flattered. Fae have odd colored skin, black eyes, and pointed ears. Remember, this is a matriarchal society.The Fae are also immortal
WARLOCKS/WITCHES
They are half human, half demon. Their parentage is traced to at least one demon who came to the mortal world. Warlocks and witches have the ability to do all kind of spells, some are more powerful than others, and usually strike deals such as doing a spell for money. Each warlock or witch is cursed to show some of their demon side in one way or another. In some ways it is eyes, others, skin color. It all depends on how they show it, but it is an obvious abnormality that they possess. Warlocks and witches are immortal, and there is no known way to kill them beyond mortal means of killing.
