  • The basis for the series is that our heroes, representing the forces of Good, are engaged in a constant battle with the forces of Evil. But, since folks are touchy about religion, all the names have been changed to protect propriety. This also gives us leeway to create cool, modern (or post-modern) sounding names for our Hero. "Slayer" is much easier to sell to the general public than "Templar", and certainly better connotatively than "Inquisitor". "Whitelighters" might be "Angels" or "Saints", but might not. They are much more new-agey, and handy around the house, too. Samantha Stevens nose-twitched away most of the stigma against Witches, so we can go with that, but what say we call the ruler of the Netherworld, our biggest Big Bad "Prime Evil" so as not to offend any Theistic Satanists. And let's avoid any problems in the Bible Belt by just calling the ultimate good guys the "Powers That Be" rather than naming any "real" gods or angels. This also helps if you want one (or two or three) of the Powers That Be to go Evil. Of course, this also makes it easier for us to make sure that Our Vampires Are Different, maintain the Balance Between Good and Evil, and come up with a fresh Sorting Algorithm of Evil. Theology majors and occultists won't be able to complain that we didn't do our homework, because we eliminated all that dry scholarly crap in the interest of making our background accessible to the average viewer.
