▸ DEATH INVESTIGATORS
Death Investigators (DI) are essentially police officers for the Afterlife. They patrol a given area for any and all supernatural crime with zero assistance from the Afterlife.
Important things to know about Death Investigators:
1) They are not given monetary compensation for their work (and health care is pretty much a moot point). The Death Gods think that they are being more than generous by allowing the DIs to exist on Earth.
2) Death Investigators, in order to keep their energy full (so they can be ready to tackle any and all supernatural threats), must eat and sleep like regular human beings. Food consumption is necessary!
3) Since food and housing require money and because the Death Gods do not provide monetary aid, DIs will typically pick up various low-skill, low-threshold jobs! This is, of course, on top of their supernatural duties.
4) Death Investigators, when they are relocated to Earth, do not look or sound like their past selves. They are assigned a new identity by the Death Gods. Only supernatural beings (which includes other DIs) have the ability to see the DIs for who they truly are.
5) In addition to their newfangled abilities, Death Investigators possess two advantages over the average human. First, it takes a lot to kill a DI. DIs can take a bullet to the chest and survive. Second, DIs have a radically superior recovery rate (e.g. a broken bone will take a few days to heal instead of weeks). Having said that, DIs experience pain in exactly the same ways as everyone else (e.g. a bullet through the chest is going to hurt like hell).
6) Fun fact: Death Investigators suffer from a phenomenon known as Locked Memories; the longer they stay on Earth, the more likely they are to begin forgetting things from their past. The rate of memory-loss varies from DI to DI.
7) Lastly, Death Investigators are reproductively sterile.
▸ DEATH GODS
Death Gods (DG) manage the Death Investigators while guarding Hell. They do other things as well, but those things are neither here nor there.
Important things to know about Death Gods:
1) Death Gods cannot enter the Living World, which is why they employ Death Investigators.
2) Additionally, one Death God is assigned to each unit and he or she is responsible for handing out cases.
3) Typically speaking, the Death God will contact his or her unit via phone call (a DI is given a special phone when they become employed; the phone looks like this).
▸ LUCIFER
Lucifer is the warden of Hell. He makes sure the bad guys that go in—stay in.
Important things to know about Lucifer:
1) He's not an evil man bent on destroying the world. In fact, he's doing quite the opposite.
2) The Death Investigators have never met the big man. But, then again, none of them have ever been allowed in Hell.
3) He's an important NPC.
▸ THE SUPERNATURAL
Unbeknownst to most humans, the supernatural have been living and walking and breathing amongst them since a long, long time ago. And little known fact: most of them aren't out to suck someone's blood or feed off the young. Most of them are just trying to live out their lives as peacefully as possible.
Important things to know about the supernatural:
1) Not all supernatural beings are evil or necessarily bad.
2) Supernatural beings that live among human are allowed to do so via special permits.
3) Supernatural beings on Earth are given a special human appearance, but can morph out of it when they want to or need to. Individuals blessed with psychic abilities can, at times, see the beings for what they truly are.
4) Supernatural beings aren't always going to be conventional vampires, werewolves, ghosts, or the likes.
