A classified, government-sanctioned authority responsible for all supernatural regulation, containment, and enforcement.

Officially nonexistent. No public record, no civilian jurisdiction, no external oversight.

Absolute in all matters involving supernatural activity. Coalition rulings override those of all other agencies, including military and intelligence services.

• Drafts and enforces the laws of the Black Treaty
• Monitors supernatural populations
• Designates protected species and individuals
• Sanctions feeding and hunting zones
• Supplies condemned prisoners for regulated predation
• Investigates violations and executes offenders

Surveillance, informant networks, containment facilities, and specialized hunter units trained in supernatural extermination.

Coexistence is permitted. Disobedience is not.

Not feared for cruelty — but for consistency. The Coalition does not negotiate. It does not forgive. It does not miss.

Governing authority. Operates outside and above all civilian legal frameworks.

Absolute. The Coalition represents the single greatest threat to any supernatural entity in the world. Its resources, reach, and willingness to act are without limit.

Self-enforcing. Internal violations are handled by a classified oversight division whose existence is not acknowledged even within the Coalition's own ranks.

Undead predators sustained by blood (traditionally human, but they can feed on other supernatural species as well), capable of long-term integration into human society under strict regulation.

Vampires form nests — communal groups led by the eldest and strongest member. Authority is based on age, power, and control rather than popularity.

• Feeding is restricted to blood bags provided by the Hunter Coalition, taken from state-run blood banks
• Vampires may also feed on one another to strengthen emotional bonds and reinforce nest loyalty

Any vampire can create another by draining a human dry. Within 24 hours the human will wake as a vampire unless decapitated. Turning requires informed consent, legal age, and psychological stability. Unauthorized turning is a capital offense.

Conditionally protected under the Black Treaty.

High. Physically superior to humans, immortal, capable of mass turning, and historically prone to nest-based territorial violence when unsupervised.

Any violation results in immediate loss of protected status and authorization for hunter extermination. Unregistered vampires are classified as rogue entities and subject to immediate termination without due process.

Pack-bound bipedal shapeshifters driven by instinct, loyalty, and territorial bonds. Werewolves require family structures (in most cases) to remain stable; isolation leads to loss of control and rapid hunter intervention.

Packs follow the alpha, beta, and omega hierarchy. True Alphas and True Omegas are extremely rare.

True Alphas: Can shift at will, possess heightened dominance, and may lead multiple alphas. Strongly drawn to omegas, especially True Omegas.

True Omegas: Universally fertile regardless of sex, capable of bearing hybrid offspring with any supernatural species. Emit calming pheromones and are highly protected due to their rarity and political value.

A werewolf bite causes transformation at the next full moon unless treated with a Coalition-supplied antidote. The change is permanent after the first shift. Turning others is only legal if the human is willing, mentally sound, and of legal age.

Conditionally protected under the Black Treaty.

High. Pack behaviour amplifies individual threat significantly. True Alphas operating without pack affiliation are classified as Priority Watch. True Omegas, while non-aggressive, represent extreme political and biological value and are considered critical protection assets.

Packs operate under constant Coalition surveillance. Any violation results in immediate loss of protected status for the offending individual and, in severe cases, for the entire pack.

Hybrid offspring born from a human and a vampire. Dhampirs exist between life and undeath, retaining largely human biology while inheriting selective vampiric traits. They are not immortal.

Can sustain themselves on both human food and blood, though they do not experience the compulsive bloodlust typical of full vampires. They require less sleep than humans, possess enhanced strength, heightened senses including night vision, and age slower than humans, though they still undergo a natural lifespan.

Dhampirs can fully pass as human without detection, allowing seamless integration into society without the concealment measures required by other supernatural species.

More resilient than vampires in some respects, but exhibit sensitivity to direct sunlight — experiencing discomfort, fatigue, and weakened abilities with prolonged exposure.

Due to their hybrid nature, dhampirs often struggle with identity and social placement, existing on the fringes of both human and vampire societies. They are typically solitary or loosely affiliated.

All dhampirs must be registered with the Hunter Coalition to receive protected status. Unregistered individuals are treated as unidentified supernatural threats.

Conditionally protected under the Black Treaty.

Moderate. Their ability to blend perfectly with humans, combined with enhanced abilities, makes them difficult to track. Threat level is primarily a function of their undetectability rather than documented aggression.

Unregistered or non-compliant dhampirs are subject to monitoring, detainment, or termination depending on assessed threat level.

Aquatic humanoids capable of living indefinitely underwater or assuming fully human form on land. Sirens are born, not created, and may be male or female.

Naturally solitary creatures, known for striking, otherworldly beauty and subtle hypnotic influence on humans. Historically preyed upon sailors and coastal travelers. Modern populations subsist on marine fauna to comply with Coalition law.

Permitted limited surface residence. The Hunter Coalition provides forged civilian identities and documentation to those wishing to live among humans, contingent on continued lawful behavior.

Restricted to marine animals only. Consumption of or predation upon humans is strictly forbidden under any circumstance.

Conditionally protected under the Black Treaty.

Moderate. Hypnotic influence and the ability to pass as human make them difficult to identify. Historical predatory behaviour is well-documented. Modern compliance rate is high but requires ongoing monitoring.

Any siren responsible for human death, predatory enthrallment, or exposure of the supernatural is immediately stripped of protection and classified as hostile.

Solitary shapeshifters born with human appearance and biology, capable of perfectly replicating the form of any human they have seen.

When assuming another's shape, a changeling instinctively absorbs fragments of that person's memories, mannerisms, and speech patterns. Long-term impersonation creates psychological blurring between the changeling's own identity and the assumed one.

To prevent isolation and predatory development, the Hunter Coalition operates a classified integration program. Young changelings are placed into families who have lost a child to disappearance or confirmed death, allowing the shifter to assume the child's identity and be raised as human. The family regains their child; the changeling gains emotional stability and a chance at a normal life.

Conditionally protected under the Black Treaty.

High. Near-undetectable. Capable of infiltrating any human institution, relationship, or security structure given sufficient time. Threat level is a function of capability rather than documented aggression — the potential for harm is extreme even when intent is benign.

Any changeling who weaponizes their ability forfeits protected status immediately. Once classified hostile, extermination orders are issued to entire regional hunter networks simultaneously given the difficulty of tracking them.

Disembodied human souls that remain in the physical world, usually bound by unfinished business or emotional attachment to the living. Not classified as a supernatural species in the traditional sense — they are former humans.

Most ghosts are tethered to a specific physical object tied to their death or strongest emotional bond. They cannot travel far from this anchor. The anchor is the key to both understanding a haunting and ending it permanently.

The Coalition tolerates passive watcher ghosts who observe but do not interfere with the living. Long-term attachment to the mortal world leads to progressive psychological decay, resulting in violent or unstable vengeful spirits.

Conditionally tolerated under the Veil Protocol. Not granted full protected status — the Coalition extends conditional tolerance rather than recognition.

Low (passive) to Extreme (vengeful). A stable watcher ghost requires no intervention. A psychologically decayed vengeful spirit is unpredictable, difficult to contain, and potentially catastrophic in densely populated areas.

The Coalition monitors known haunting sites and intervenes when spiritual degradation or violence is detected. Standard intervention is anchor identification and destruction. Exorcism is classified as humane termination.

Human-born practitioners of supernatural magic, possessing an innate affinity for spellcraft that manifests early in life. Witchhood cannot be created or transferred — it is purely hereditary.

• Most witches belong to one of twelve major covens, each named after a zodiac sign (Aries through Pisces). Covens function simultaneously as training circles, political bodies, and internal law enforcement networks.
• Some witches operate independently, though they remain fully subject to Coalition law.

Covens are expected to police their own members. If a witch is suspected of violating Coalition rules, the entire coven may be detained and interrogated until responsibility is established. Collective accountability is deliberate Coalition policy.

Witchhood cannot be created or transferred. Witches are born, not made. Covens identify and train existing talent; they cannot manufacture it.

Conditionally protected under the Black Treaty.

Moderate to High. Individual threat level varies enormously by skill and coven affiliation. Organized covens represent significant collective power. The Coalition relies heavily on the collective punishment model to ensure self-policing — it has proven highly effective.

Repeat or severe violations result in coven sanctions, direct Coalition intervention, or permanent loss of protected status for the individual — and potentially for the entire coven.

Former humans altered by extreme trauma or near-death experiences into supernatural harbingers of death. Banshees retain their full human appearance, identity, and cognitive function.

Possess an involuntary prophetic sense tied to imminent death, disasters, or major tragedy. Warnings manifest as visions, instincts, acute physical distress, or the involuntary death-scream — which cannot be suppressed and occurs at moments of extreme death-premonition.

The Coalition monitors hospitals and disaster sites for individuals matching banshee behavioral profiles. Confirmed banshees are discreetly approached and informed of the supernatural world and their condition. Most experience significant relief at finally having an explanation.

Banshees do not require human blood or life force and impose no physical danger on those around them. They are generally cooperative due to the value the Coalition places on their early-warning function.

Banshees represent a unique intelligence asset — reliable early-warning systems for mass casualty events, supernatural conflicts, and deaths of significant supernatural figures. Their cooperation is encouraged and compensated. Most work closely with assigned Coalition liaison officers.

Protected under the Black Treaty — the only species to hold full protected status without the conditional qualifier.

Low. Classified as non-hostile supernatural entities. They impose no feeding requirements, no predatory instinct, and no documented history of aggression. The Coalition's relationship with banshees is more cooperative asset management than enforcement.

Any misuse of abilities or exposure of the supernatural results in containment or permanent silencing. Given their cooperative status, enforcement actions against banshees are rare.

An all-female species of long-lived, human-passing predators. Kitsune are born rather than turned and are characterized by their enduring youth and preternatural beauty.

Kitsune must consume pituitary glands to survive. In compliance with the Treaty, the Coalition provides glands harvested during autopsies at sanctioned hospitals. This biological dependency is the Coalition's primary mechanism of control over the species.

Conditionally protected under the Black Treaty.

Moderate. Biologically dependent on the Coalition and currently compliant as a result. However, their history as apex predators has not been erased by civilization — it has been suppressed by dependency. A kitsune operating outside the ration system would be classified as an immediate Priority One threat. Their charm, intelligence, and human appearance make them uniquely capable of long-term infiltration.

The Coalition maintains control by withholding rations for minor infractions. Any instance of unauthorized human predation results in immediate hunter termination.

Ancient, powerful reptilian beings with immense lifespans. Dragons are a dwindling species — very few individuals remain in the modern world. They possess the ability to shapeshift into a single human form to blend into society. In their true form, a single dragon is a weapons-grade event.

Every registered dragon is fitted with a specialized, permanent Coalition collar rigged to detonate with lethal force if the dragon attempts to revert to their true form without high-level authorization. Collar tampering triggers automatic remote execution. An uncollared dragon represents a species-level security emergency.

To satisfy their instinctive biological drive to hoard, the Coalition places dragons in high-responsibility, high-earning positions — hedge fund managers, central bankers, curators of national treasuries. Redirecting the hoarding instinct into sanctioned financial infrastructure benefits both parties.

Conditionally protected under the Black Treaty.

Extreme. While their numbers are critically low, a single uncollared dragon in true form represents a catastrophic security breach with no conventional military solution. Every registered dragon is assigned permanent Coalition handler teams — ostensibly advisors, functionally wardens.

The Coalition monitors hoards and biological signatures continuously. Any shift in biological signature consistent with attempted transformation triggers simultaneous regional deployment of specialized heavy-unit hunter teams and automatic collar detonation.

Nature spirits born from and bound to a specific natural feature — a tree, a body of water, a stretch of coastline, a particular rock formation. Nymphs are not created and cannot be turned. They simply exist, as long as their anchor does.

The Coalition recognizes several classifications for registration purposes. Dryads are bound to trees or groves. Naiads to freshwater sources. Oceanids to saltwater and coastal environments. Classification determines housing requirements, permitted residency zones, and threat reassessment timelines.

Fully humanoid in appearance and indistinguishable from humans without close inspection. Physiological tells vary by type — dryads show faint bark-like patterning on the skin under certain lighting, naiads have a slight translucence near water, oceanids run cool to the touch and smell faintly of salt regardless of environment. All types exhibit accelerated healing, mild passive allure, and marked deterioration when separated from their anchor for extended periods.

Nymphs pass as fully human without any concealment measures. Their only meaningful tell is behavioral — prolonged separation from their anchor produces visible distress and declining stability that can be difficult to explain to uncleared humans nearby.

The Coalition maintains a register of all known anchor features. Any development, demolition, or environmental disruption affecting a registered anchor triggers mandatory Coalition assessment before work proceeds.

Conditionally protected under the Black Treaty.

Low to Moderate. Stable, anchored nymphs are cooperative and pose no threat. Displaced nymphs become progressively erratic and are classified as unstable until resettled. Anchor destruction events are rare but treated as serious containment situations.

Displaced or non-compliant nymphs are subject to immediate Coalition assessment. Anchor destruction without prior Coalition clearance is treated as a serious violation regardless of whether the responsible party is supernatural or civilian.

Partially humanoid beings — human from the waist up, with the legs, hooves, and horns of a goat. Born, not made. Appear in small scattered populations with no formal social structure. Both male and female.

Above average physical strength, particularly in the lower body. Horns vary significantly between individuals and continue growing throughout life — horn span is a rough indicator of age. Heightened senses, specifically hearing and smell. Constitutionally resistant to intoxicants, requiring quantities that would hospitalize a human three times over to achieve comparable effect.

Satyrs possess an innate self-generated glamour that renders their hooves, horns, and leg structure invisible and inaudible to uncleared humans. The ability is instinctive, requires no external assistance, functions continuously without conscious effort, and can be dropped and reinstated at will. When glamoured, satyrs are fully indistinguishable from humans.

No formal social structure, though satyrs reliably gravitate toward one another. Tend toward hedonism, sociability, music, celebration, and intoxication. Not predatory. Not organized. Primarily an enforcement challenge rather than a threat profile.

Conditionally protected under the Black Treaty.

Low. No documented history of organized aggression. The primary compliance challenge is the glamour — not malice, simply a genuinely poor instinct for when dropping it becomes someone else's paperwork problem.

Non-compliant satyrs are subject to fines, mandatory Coalition check-ins, and in repeat cases temporary charm-blocking administered by Coalition-contracted witches. The intoxication clause was introduced in 2009 following three separate incidents at the same music festival over consecutive years. The satyr in question is registered, compliant, and genuinely apologetic each time. She has already bought her ticket for next year.

Energy-feeding humanoids, born rather than made. The condition is genetic, manifesting at puberty. Current Coalition theory suggests the species originated from historical vampire and satyr crossbreeding — an evolutionary offshoot that retained neither the blood dependency of one nor the physical tells of the other.

Sustain themselves by drawing vital energy from individuals through physical contact. Casual touch produces a passive feed insufficient for survival. Prolonged contact, emotional intensity, and pleasure amplify output significantly. Feeding is a deliberate act — it does not occur automatically during physical contact but requires conscious choice to initiate and sustain. Intimacy without feeding is entirely possible and common. Without regular feeding they experience fatigue, cognitive decline, and in prolonged cases serious physical deterioration. Overfeeding causes exhaustion, disorientation, and in extreme cases incapacitation.

Largely indistinguishable from humans. Two physical traits may present: ram-like horns at the top of the head and a slender tail with a heart-shaped tip. Neither appears in all individuals. When present, concealment is required in public — managed through personal glamour ability, which some develop naturally, or through Coalition-issued items.

Naturally charismatic and physically magnetic — a biological trait, not a practiced one. Most develop careful habits around their passive allure and structure their feeding to avoid dependency formation in the individuals they feed from.

All succubi and incubi must register with the Hunter Coalition upon manifestation of feeding ability, typically in mid to late adolescence. Unregistered individuals discovered feeding are treated as unidentified supernatural threats.

Conditionally protected under the Black Treaty.

Moderate. No physical marks left by feeding, human appearance, and passive allure make detection difficult. The Coalition's primary enforcement challenge is distinguishing freely chosen contact from contact manufactured through weaponized allure.

Feeding to incapacitation carries capital classification. Weaponization of allure resulting in removal of human agency means immediate loss of protected status. Registered individuals are monitored through quarterly check-ins.
