1) We will be dealing with all walks of life here. Vampires, werewolves, Bigfoot, Wendigo, Deep Ones, it's all fair game.

2) Magic and science are two separate entities that do not connect (or at least shouldn't). They can imitate one another but in the end they are completely different. As to crosses and faith it all comes down to the monster, the item you use, and your own faith. If you were to brandish a Christian cross to a vampire from a strictly Buddhist province it would do nothing. Brandish a cross made from the silver given to Judas to the same vampire and it will be a different story 

3) Social norms are lack for the Order but how your character acts is up to you. If you're a bigot, fine. If it gets in the way of the hunt however it can mean life or death
