Tarnishedverse 101: The Supernaturals

The Dragons/Elementals
The dragons, also known as the elementals due to each having an affinity to an element (element having a broad definition in their case), are the servants of the Creator, their version of God, and the protectors of the planet. Pre-2010 (Nate's current arc) has only five of the currently known dragons [Fire, Ice/Water, Air, Sound, and Plant (Nate, Alice, Cecelia, Jordan, and David)] that have knowingly met the Creator. It's eventually revealed that Nate Silverman, the elemental of fire, is the Creator and has been hiding this information to keep an eye on the dragons and the world.

*Alice Silverman, who was eventually known as the Corrupter, had her element removed and her soul shattered into multiple pieces then eventually placed into children by Nate. Tala Faolan was one of the children with a piece of Alice's soul in her, that shard having been passed down her family for multiple generations. During the 2010 arc, Tala somehow gained Alice's element and the shard of Alice's soul in her body was destroyed, turning her into the new ice elemental and an actual dragon. (see: dragon souls)


The Dragonsouled

At the beginning of the Common Era, Nate Silverman tore apart the ice elemental's soul and placed it into the bodies of children born at the time. Passed on through the generations of these families, it changed their souls to the point where they were no longer completely human and instead were a dragon/human hybrid. This allowed the dragonsouled to be connected to certain elements and even gain slight control over the element they were connected to. Afflicted dragonsouled therians gained more control over their hybrid forms. The most well known and the strongest of the dragonsouled are the Faolan werewolf pack.

The Angels
Tarnishedverse angels are rather interesting creatures. They were not created with a purpose and they aren't even known to their creator. Created out of Nate Silverman's inability to cope with his emotions after the murder of his wife, they are adult males and females with all of Nate's memories up to that point and specific emotions they feel more strongly. Unlike the dragons and dragonsouled, angels do not have an affinity with elements, instead having to rely on brute strength and their intelligence. Angels are able to breed with each other and create more angels (but they do not gain Nate's memories up to the creation of the angels) and of course, males are able to breed with female humans to create nephilim. It's unknown what exactly what would happen if a female angel had a child with a male human, but rumors from angels are that the pairing create a deformed emotionless monster.

The Nephilim
Born of human women and angel fathers, nephilim are sometimes confused for dragonsouled since they both are related to the dragons. Nephilim differ in that they are not connected to elements nor are they able to be therians or vampires. They instead have Glory form, which gives the nephilim six wings, superhuman strength, and rapid regeneration. Outside of Glory form, they are immune to poisons and cannot get sick. Shotguns to the face tend to be able to kill them when they use Glory mode.
