❝ NOT TO SAY THAT I MIND ALL too much --- but may I ASK why exactly you’re covered in blood ?? ❞ It’s a DREADFULLY good look on the other , in his opinion . The only thing that truly DOES irk him is that . . . well , it’s dripping onto his new Persian rug .
when prohibition began in the 1920s, organised crime began to come into play, making its mark on city life. some supernatural creatures joined the various mobs, and as time went on, the nephilim had to work harder and harder to keep the shadow world under wraps. as downworlders rose to the top of the mobs, reaching the peak of their power in the mid 1960s, it became impossible to keep hiding — and so the world ( or, at least, new york city ) came to know of the monsters that lived beside them.
fast forward to the year 2017: shadowhunters now work as a sort of private law enforcement group within various major cities around the world. while not every downworlder is part of a mob, many are, and more join and are turned each and every day, making the job just that much harder.
INFORMATION
there will be no more than three mobs, with their structure defined as in this photo ( link ). the positions in each mob will be first-come, first-serve, with the mob boss being the one to decide ( in-character ) if a character can be part of their mob. for this reason, each applicant will be reviewed by the group as a whole before acceptance.
general rules apply. no repeat faceclaims aside from twins. make sure you interact with everyone in the group. track the tag #v. downworld. don’t be an asshole. simple. we’re here to have fun. you can find the application and the players under the cut.

“Your brother keeps asking me for more hours and I already got him working the maximum amount without it dipping into the ‘overworked’ zone but he always gets this look when I tell him ‘no’ each time he asks for more hours.” The brunet was honestly a little lost on how to get the redhead to stop asking for work.
@normaltothemax gets a thing - but she set hale’s tail on fire anyway
There’s never enough time in the day to do everything he needs, let alone wants, but that doesn’t stop Hale from leisurely strolling down the crowded New York street. Some recognize him and nod their head in respect. Others recognize him and cringe, ducking into the nearest shadow like he’d bear his canines in broad daylight. The rest are blissfully unaware of the werewolf walking in their midst. Better for them. He’d been ignorant once but clawed his way to the top of a food chain. Tragedy fueled him like nothing else could and now that he had power Hale wasn’t going to let it go without a fight.
So, when he sees the familiar little antique store he can’t help but duck inside. His gait remains relaxed as he wanders through the knicks and knacks, the statues and the cutlery. An item or two is lifted with feigned interest. “Maxine,” Hale purrs when Bane’s little seer come into view. Most of the information he had filed away all came down the grapevine. None of it was true, not really, until he was able to prove it.
Fingers trail along the surface in front of him. Little flecks of grey dust coat his fingertips when he looks down. “How’s Bane’s little human today?”
“I thought I gave you the day off today, Simon.” Jack arched a brow at the vampire from behind the counter where he was flipping through one of the issues of Doctor Strange to pass the time. He already knew that the teen was probably here to take over the corner or make a ‘fort’ of sorts behind the counter, the latter he hasn’t done while Jack was there but he was pretty sure Simon had done it at least once when he was manning the register. Either way, Simon’s company was always welcomed to him.
Nick’s internal body clock is TOO proficient for his own damn good---- which is probably why Magnus finds his eyes fluttering open at six in the morning as a result of the shifting sheets beside him. Gaze still unfocused, he’s languid in his movements to roll over & push his forehead against the other’s shoulder, fingertips splaying out across his stomach. He usually isn’t one to ARGUE during the mornings in which his lover is the first of the two of them to leave the warmth of his bed, but the combined efforts of exhaustion and affection seem to have brought out something SENTIMENTAL in him. ❝ Don’t leave yet. ❞ It’s barely a whisper, but he knows that their close proximity will allow Nick to hear him all the same. ❝ Stay. Just a little longer. ❞
He’s waiting for her---- they BOTH are, really, and all three of them are well aware that it’s an astounding rarity for anyone in his clan to make the journey to the police station if the Shadowhunters don’t have some kind of WARRANT . . . which is why he knows that Clary will come here, eventually.
She’s always willing to meet Magnus in HIS territory, and the knowledge is likely why he usually prefers to deal with HER over less ENTERTAINING characters---- such as the Herondale boy. James ? Jacob ? In any case, it’s hardly pertinent information at the moment, and he’s quick to push the thought from his mind as a familiar, fiery figure steps over the threshold of the bar’s entrance. A finger lifts to trace over the rim of his glass as he watches Clary approach himself & Nick. ❝ You wanted to see us, BISCUIT ? ❞
