In the spirit of getting to know you all better, tell me about your families and how you get along with them.

Not much to say about mine. I have an aunt back in Paris and a cousin who I'm currently visiting with.

It's not a term or field I know that much about.

[moonspell]

There are physicians, which are medical doctors, and there are doctors of the academics who are experts in their field of choice. Whether that be fairies in my case or of even of philosophy, or a doctor whose expertise is in rocks, as a geologist, or one who is an expert in the studies of the past as an archeologist or historian, there are a many types more than just physicians.

[sebastian_verlac]

Ah, I know what you mean.

So you study them?

[moonspell]

I study and apply my knowledge to act as a liaison between the fairies and humans.

[sebastian_verlac]

Humans know about faeries in your world?

[moonspell]

Some are aware of them, though many refuse to consider what isn't in front of their face. I'm presently employed though so obviously some do, though it wouldn't matter if they did or didn't. Fairies are there regardless of whether humans believe in them or not and if someone doesn't work with both fairies and humans it becomes difficult for either to live in peace.

[sebastian_verlac]

Many things exist whether mundanes believe or not.

[moonspell]

Which makes it all the more important that if I have an ability to see them I need to use it as I can.

[sebastian_verlac]

You must be a good person then. Trying to do the right thing.

[moonspell]

I don't think I can decide whether or not I am for myself, but I try to be.

[sebastian_verlac]

Very noble. We all try to do the best we can.

[moonspell]

What do you do? As work, I mean, not regarding fairies.

[sebastian_verlac]

I'm a Shadowhunter. I protect the world from nasty things like demons and vampires.

[moonspell]

Are vampires as bad as demons?

[ The word demon speaks more of the nature of a mythical creature to her than an actual species, so she can understand that. Vampires though.. She doesn't know much about. ]

[sebastian_verlac]

They're not considered as bad. Vampires, werewolves, warlocks and faeries all have a sort of deal called the Accords with Shadowhunters. We leave them alone as long as they don't break the laws and attack mundanes - regular humans, I mean.

Demons, on the other hand, don't follow our laws and can't be reasoned with.

[moonspell]

I know what mundane means. [ Of the Earth or ordinary, she can use context clues to figure it out. ]

I'm glad that the others are at least somewhat cooperative, but I'm afraid that demons are of a similar nature in my world. How do you handle them?

[sebastian_verlac]

Kill them, usually. They don't understand anything but violence.

We're trained all our lives to fight demons.

[moonspell]

Is there any way to train them or teach them not to do that? I don't think it's possible in my world and I understand needing to protect people at all costs, don't worry, but I should like to suggest an alternate possibility if it's there.
