CS


Name: {Princess} Anabelle Chaudhury


Age: 16


Species: Nephilim
If a new species description of the species:

Nephilim, or often referred to as Shadowhunters, are a secretive race of humans born with angelic blood. They are a evil hunting race that has survived for over one thousand years. They have fought the demons valiantly, creating their own culture and civilization. Their mandate is to protect the innocent.

One thousand years ago, the precise date unknown, the worlds were being invaded by hordes of evil. A man, Jonathan Shadowhunter, had a warlock summon the angel Raziel. He begged Raziel to help save the innocent so the angel mixed his blood with that of Jonathan Shadowhunter, in the Mortal Cup, and gave it to men to drink. Those men became known as the Shadowhunters, as did their children, and their children's children. They were given the first Gray Book, listing all of the runes, to use in their fight against demons.

The Nephilim follow a strict set of rules set out in the Codex. There are many rules and guidelines that must be followed.
Enclave/Conclave
The Enclave is the Shadowhunter population of a certain area. They are led by the Directors of an Institute. Every active Shadowhunter in an area belongs to a certain Clave and the Shadowhunters are all under the command of their Institute.

Institutes
Institutes are the seats of power in the Enclave/Conclave. The directors of an Institute are the most powerful figures in the given area's Shadowhunter population.

The goal of the Nephilim is to end the plague of evilness on worlds. They are dispatched to every place on different worlds to fight against hordes of evil. The fight even continues after death. Their bones are used, as the bones of demon hunters are powerful protection, to fortify important buildings.

As with all populations, the Nephilim have developed their own culture and traditions. They have traditions and habits that, though not official laws, are expected of them. They have traditions for everything: Births, Marriages, Deaths, and Friendships.

Births
Newborn Shadowhunters have spells cast on them to protect their minds from evil influences. These rituals protect the Shadowhunters from evil visions for example.

Marriages
The color of marriage is gold. Shadowhunter women generally wear gold dresses and men wear white suits. Marriages are often done in The Accords Hall in Alicante. The Shadowhunters mark each other with commitment runes on their heart and on their arm, signifying their love and devotion toward one another.

Deaths
Shadowhunters oftentimes die young. The fight against evil kills off many of them. Therefore, when a Shadowhunter dies in battle, the words Ave Atque Vale and their name are spoken. This means "hail and farewell." Their bodies are burned to ashes and laid in the tombs. The color of funerals is white. They do not use black because that is the color of fighting and it isn't appropriate.

Friendships
Shadowhunters that are close enough might become parabatai. Parabatai is the term for two warrior Shadowhunters that are closer then brothers. Siblings can be parabatai. Cousins. Boys. Girls. Anyone close in age since they both have to be under 18 when they decide. They are exceptionally close and are willing to die for one another. The runes drawn by one's parabatai are stronger than those used by another. Also, there are some runes that can only be used by parabatai. It is illegal for two parabatai to fall in love with each other. If this happens, they will be separated. Most Shadowhunters don't have a parabatai, so they are not very common.

Colors
''Black for hunting through the night
For death and sorrow, the color’s white.
Gold for a bride in her wedding gown,
And red to call enchantment down.’’
- Nephilim Children Rhyme.
Colors mean different things to Shadowhunters than they do to mundanes. Black is the color of their gear; white is for mourning; gold for weddings and red is ceremonial.

What land they’re from: Idris.


Occupation: Royal (look at title in name) Shadowhunter.


Appearance:

She also has various runes running all over her body.

Personality: TBR


Bio: Will make it later, I'm too lazy now xD


Gear:
Anabelle uses a golden whip in battle(as shown in the picture), and is strong enough to cut through human bone. She also uses a kindjal, a Circassian dagger, both being a pair of weapons given from her parents. She always carries a sensor and gauntles around her wrists. A Sensor is a weapon that allows Shadowhunters to detect evil energies. Though they can be fooled by Greater Demons. As all Shadowhunters, she carries a Phosphor, which is a really bright witchlight.

Anabelle always carries around seraph blades, naginata and silver knives. Sometimes, when she can find a place to put them, she carries holy water, protection charms, silver powder and bullets, electrum wire and stars of David. Her weapons are all blessed iron, since it can hurt various species that are immune to her other weapons.

A chakram is a circular razor sharp weapon. Anabelle uses chakrams, circular razored devices. She also uses a featherstaff. Additionally she sometimes uses a bow and a quiver of arrows and guns (if there are any).


-new land description-


If its in the world or not: No. Idris in in the earth, located between Germany and France. Though mundies can’t see it or get inside it because of its wardings over their borders.


Name of the land: Idris


Description of the land: Idris is the homeland of the Shadowhunters and is protected by Demon Towers, forcing demons out and protecting the city, the only way to bring them down is to wipe demon blood on them from the inside—an almost impossible feat since they are protected.

Idris is in Europe. It is a small country between Germany and France, with protective spells and wardings all around, all over the borders, preventing mundanes from entering. When they attempt to cross the border into Idris, they are simply transported into the next border without noticing. A counterpart to mundane globes can be found in the Institute's library, which includes other lands only known to the beings of the Shadow Realms.

Most Shadowhunters come from Idris, and some even grow up and are trained there. After they are done, they can either chose to stay, travel, or explore new lands somewhere else.

Idris shares its name with a river from The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. Conceptually it is similar to Valinor from The Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien and Eden from The Bible.

Idris is mostly forest, littered with vampire nests and werewolf packs. There are mountains that can only be crossed in high summer without freezing to death. There is a small system of towns throughout Idris. These towns are not very big and are all sort of oriented around the one city, Alicante, which is also known as the Glass City.


Capital

In Alicante is the Gard and the Accords Hall. Alicante is the only city in Idris. It is often called the Glass City because of the presence of the Demon Towers that guard the city against demon attacks, reflecting light and looking like glass. The entire city is lit and powered by witchlight. The houses throughout the city are built from all eras. The Gard, the meeting place for the Clave, sits atop a hill at the edge of the city. There are stores throughout the entire city that display and sell a wide array of objects from weapons to clothes.


Lake Lyn
A remote lake that isn't used because the water is poisonous to Shadowhunters. This is lake that the Angel Raziel was said to have risen from. Fair Folk drink from the lake, they call it the mirror, since they can use it to see reflections of the past or future. It is also said that when the Fair Folk drink from the lake, they get visions, but this makes the Nephilim hallucinate.




Main inhabitants and there enemies if any: Nephillim/Shadowhunters, Vamires and Lycanthropes are the main inhabitants of Idris.


Any one there at war with: No, Idris is a peaceful kingdom. They only fight when it’s for protection or when they have a good cause. They would not really need to fight unless there were demons attacking or somebody threatening them.
