​

Common Personalities and appearance. 

Shadow hunters are human and therefore do not outwardly show any major differences in appearance compared to other supernatural beings in the town. 

​

Shadow Hunters sometimes can have a distinguishing trait of brighter then normal appearing eye color. 

​

As shadow hunters are considered touched by angel blood, they are gods children in will often exude an aura of purity which maybe seen by some supernatural classes, their scent will also change with what appeals most to the person they are interacting with, creating a calming presence often allowing those not of evil intentions to feel relaxed and safe. 

​

Shadow hunters are considered beautiful and will slow aging around 25-30 at twice the rate of any other supernatural persons, they also can live up to 1000 years if not killed.

​

Mating and Bonds.

Shadow hunters can love, marry and bear offspring like any other human, the Angel blood is not necessarily passed on, a child of a Shadow hunter may miss the traits completely. 

​

OOC: Shadow hunters can not be hybrids, if a child of a shadow hunter and another supernatural class occurs they will have to choose. 

​

Shadow hunters can create bonds with those not of family, similar to those of other supernatural classes the person wishing to create a bond will need to pledge their loyalty to the Shadow hunter, be warned however due to the angel blood aspect should a human bonded to a shadow hunter attempt to harm them, they may face angel sickness. 

​

Angel sickness: Similar to the flu where one gains a fever that could reach up to 160F as the blood is literally boiled from them and the bond broken, Fevers usually take 3 days to break and if untreated can be fatal.
