Laws Governing Immortals – These vary by country with Great Britain being among the sovereign nations who force their immortals to publicly register their status. Registration of immortals is thought to quell fears among the regular human population since governments can keep track of the supernatural comings and goings of these highly advanced and powerful beings. The governing body for immortals in Great Britain is the Paranormal Office for the Surveillance of Immortals (POSI). Legally, immortals in Great Britain must have humans watching them, and reporting their activities. In the United States, (per constitutional law) there is no requirement for any immortal to report their status, whereabouts, or their activities if they comply with all laws, as any other citizen. However, most immortals in the United States prefer working with the government due to the offer of special privileges. In most countries, immortals working with their respective governments are highly compensated. This is thought to encourage cooperation among their ranks.
Clavigers – This is the name for humans who, in their respective countries, watch their assigned immortal. All immortals legally registered in Great Britain, for example, must legally have a human claviger reporting on their whereabouts.
Lifeists – Normal humans who fear immortals, and who express that fear through social media and in political forums. They are often virulent in their opposition. They do not like any government’s decision allowing immortals to mingle with the regular population. They will frequently attempt to change laws so that immortals are more controlled.
