Ok, I am struggling to make a character for this RP and have found myself in need of more information. I'd like to ask a few questions about the setting, if you don't mind.

1. What kind of mythology are we dealing with here? I'm seeing 1800s romantic era, with Werewolves, vampires, etc. What else? Are we including other culture's mythologies? Are there Djinn, Wendigos, Tengu, etc?

2. What's the nature of magic? I'd like to play a mage, but I'm really not sure how it'd fit here? Is magic a scientific thing (e.g. alchemy) or does faith play a part? Do crosses actually hurt vampires? Could you use prayers or chant verses from the Qur'an to fight a monster or cast a spell?

3. What's the Order's role in society? Social norms are pretty strict at this time period - are the Order's operatives a general exception, or are they expected to live up to normal standards of decency?
