Is this slightly based off of the books by Melissa Marr? If so are the Shade/Fays allergic/sickened/weakened by Iron? No city living then?!

Well I was originally going to base this off of the myths of shadow people, but I read the first book in Marr's series recently and got a couple ideas from that.
Answering your question: No, they aren't weakened by iron. I just got the Shades' appearances and illusions from those books :) The rest comes from multiple difference resources. (I always over-research whatever I want to start an RP about... orz)

just out of curiosity, where is this going to be taking place? I'm trying to write a bio and I realized I have no idea .-.

I didn't really have a specific place in mind, but if you really want one I'll go with San Diego, CA
No particular reason, it's just the first place that came to mind lol
