Supernatural Entities

As a Hunter, you are going to encounter a large number of different Supernatural Creatures and dangers. Things that thewaking world chooses to ignore or simply doesn't understand. It is going to be your job to not only understand these threats, but also to destroy them if necessary. Below are the various different types of entities and threats that we have encountered so far. There is almost certainly more out there that we do not know or understand, so always be wary and always be careful.

GHOSTS
The spectral enegies of those who have died, or the accrued energies of violent emotions. They come in many different types and have been seen all over the world. 1 in 3 Americans claim to have seen a ghost.

THE UNDEAD
The corpses of the dead brought back to life in many different ways. This includes well known creatures like zombies, vampires, and revenants. Be aware that any undead creature is dangerous and tainted and should be destroyed immediately.

THE CURSED
Creatures that were once men that have been cursed. This includes monsters such as Werewolves, Wendigos, those afflicted by The Hunger and more. Some can be cured but many are too far gone to save and would be a danger to themselves and those around them.

THE FAE
Sprites and elves, mischevious creatures from folktales and fable. Not spotted too frequently these days, they can still be rather dangerous, kidnapping children or pulling deadly pranks on mortals. Treat with care.

THE FALLEN
Demons. While normally possessing the bodies of the living, requiring exorcism, Demons and Demonic energies come straight from hell and should be banished back there at the eraliest opportunity. Do NOT make deals, to NOT try to reason for them. These cruel, malevolent creatures are twisted beyond mortal comprehension adn they will happily destroy you.

CRYPTIDS
The word Cryptid comes from the study of Cryptozoology - researching strange creatures that are not natural or are too strange or twisted to be normal. This includes research into feral beasts, hithertoo undiscovered species and other more popular legends such as Bigfoot and the Lock Ness Monster.

URBAN LEGENDS
Urban Legends, or stories around the campire, have evolved and changed throughout the years, and some of them are built upon a basis, real, premise. The more modern urban legends are now referred to as CreepyPastas, a term dating back to around 2007. Many of these are simply creepy short stories posted onto shared forums for enjoyment. Some, however, are true tales.

ARTEFACTS
Some objects in the world can become cursed, or haunted, or are simply made evil. This includes stories of Cars come to life, Haunted Dolls, cursed mirrors, and more. Many of them are connected, in one way or another, to spirits, magick, or demonic energies, but not all of them can be so easily explained.

LOCATIONS
This includes places of extreme spectral energy, strange areas that have strong electromagnetic frequencies, or mysterious stretches of road that cause victims to vanish entirely.

WEIRD NATURE
Studies into the weirder parts of nature include looking into dangerous or curious locations, events, or creatures in nature. This also includes research into occurences like the "Gloop", mysterious rock formations, strange trees or forests, and more.

MAGICK
There are many different types of magick, almost all of them dangerous. Herein we will study some of the types of magick you may encounter, such as Necromancy, Blood Magick, and Black Magick.

RELIGION
There are hundreds of religions throughout the world and while we cannot cover them all, we will build up a database of major world religions, strenger or more dangerous cults, and beliefs within those sreas that can either help or hinder hunters in ther jobs. This can include religious curses, taboos, and burial rites.

SYMBOLS
Hunters have a complex language of sigils and symbols to help each other out. Some of the ones I have encountered are listed here.
