Supernatural

In the World of Darkness, the term supernatural is often used as a noun to describe supernatural beings such as vampires, werewolves, mages, wraiths, changelings, demons, and spirits.

The term does explicitly not refer to mortals, including those with numina: un-Awakened sorcerers, psychics and mediums, mortals with True Faith, and mortals who have been touched by the supernatural, such as ghouls, Kinfolk, consorts, the Enchanted, Kinain, or thralls. It is unclear if the imbued qualify as supernaturals or not, although the imbued are effectively treated as mortals by their own edges.

The equivalent term used in the Middle Kingdom is shen, and is often used in reference to Asian supernaturals to distinguish them from their Western counterparts.
