Additionally, there are the very rare people called Icons, whose faith ''in themselves'' is so great that they become a WalkingWasteland to the supernatural.

Added DiffLines:
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Subverted hard. While the majority of vampires are somewhat ridiculous, they're all a bunch of murderers and entitled psychopaths with rare exceptions. Even Bill, who is mostly a decent sort of guy (accent on mostly), still overlooks a lot of evil conducted by his coven. Mostly because he can't figure out a way to stop it. [[spoiler: Eventually, he does by destroying all vampires everywhere.]]
Added DiffLines:
* SlidingScaleOfVampireFriendliness: Played with as it turns out vampires can actually drink animal blood but aside from during an emergency, no one actually bothers and they're all murderers. Since it turns out it's possible to turn animals into vampires as well (though they don't last long), this is probably a good thing.
