Arcana Jayne - The People of Jayne's World

The People of Jayne's World

  • Humanity - Jayne's world is superficially similar to our own in the 1930s and consequently the dominant species is human. The main difference between real world humans and the humans in Jayne's world is that most are born with at least some small degree of magical or psychic potential, although most are not consciously aware of this.
    • The Neo-Azteca - Descendants of the Aztecs who dwell in Central America. Little has been revealed of these people so far, except that, according to Zoharr, they do not have "blood rites".
  • Pixies - Tiny, magical and usually nude folk who inhabit rural areas (see their appearance in Hair of the Dog where they are encountered at the Muir Memorial Pixie Reserve).
  • Werewolves - Werewolves live in social “packs” and do not normally prey on the humans in their vicinity (the behavior of Cesaire's entire pack in Hair Of The Dog would be considered an aberration). Different packs can be differentiated by their hair color, and Cesaire's pack is blondes-only (see Hair of the Dog).
  • The Sidhe - Sometimes also known as The Fey, The Sidhe are the Fair Folk of Jayne's World. They exist on their own plane of existence but are able to manifest in the waking world in a limited fashion. Both Seelie (benevolent) and Unseelie (malevolent) Sidhe exist.
  • Gnomes - Gnomes apparently exist somewhere in Jayne's world as Gnomish (and especially Pig-Gnomish) appears to be a very difficult language to understand (see Hair of the Dog).
  • Vampires - Vampires are known to exist although nothing has yet been revealed about them in the comic (as of March 2006).

Famous quotes containing the words the people, people and/or world:

    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    A toddling little girl is a centre of common feeling which makes the most dissimilar people understand each other.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    A book is like a child: it is easier to bring it into the world than to control it when it is launched there.
