13* TheChosenOne: Orson turns out to be the Ollpheist, a super shape-shifter highly resistant towards magic and that other shape-shifters are afraid of. In ''Cabal'', it's revealed that [[spoiler:Orson is able to cast spells, making him a shape-shifter/mage hybrid.]]
14* TheOrder: The titular Paragon Society is a secret society mostly comprised of mages dedicated to ensuring the secrecy of magic as well as policing the supernatural community.
15** The Shifter Council is the Society's shap-shifter equivalent, but is mostly separate due to the bloody history between mages and shifters.
16* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Taking the place of traditional vampires are blood-mages, magic users who perform blood sacrifice to fuel their magic. Their most common traits include black eyes and MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily.
17* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: Shape-shifters are magic users who can transform into animals. More experienced shifters can enter a hybrid "beast form" used for combat. And contrary to what pop-culture would have you believe, shape-shifters are born, not made.
