Beings
Wretched Egg: The first Deadman. A girl, originally known as Shiro, was exposed to countless experiments. Shiro's alter ego, the Wretched Egg, developed to handle the pain of the experiments, and eventually caused her to create the Great Tokyo Earthquake, unwittingly creating Deadmen. She was kept under control by the Mother Goose System until it was destroyed by her.
In the Guild story, she decapitated Ganta Igarashi, the boy she chose to kill him and her long-term friend and possibly boyfriend, and created more Deadmen to serve her bidding. She has an inner circle called The 7th Circle who're her top 7 Deadmen and are her personal guard. She's known to be ruthless but kind to her allies and friends.

Deadman: A person who has been infected with the Nameless Worm and can freely control their blood. In the Wretched Egg's army, those with simple abilities are simply Grunts, those with more interesting abilities are called Officers and OCs can be any of the two or an Elite, those with exceptional Branches of Sin.The term was coined due to these people being 'dead men walking', referring to their lives in G Sector before the all-out war and their ability draining what keeps them alive.

Deadbeasts: *WARNING, NONCANON*
An animal who has been infected with the Nameless Worm and can control their blood to an extent. Some, like birds and some bears, live wild as predators whilst others, like other bears, leopards and horses, have been captured and tamed to be used by the Sinners. It's a melding of the word Dead from the term Deadman and the word beast from... beast.

Undertakers: Originally prisoners who were insane enough to undergo the 'special correctional program' and become rule enforcers in G Block, where the Deadmen were kept. The main squad leaders were killed off, rendering the Undertakers disavowed.
In the Guild storyline, they reform under the leadership of Makina, an ex-officer in charge of Deadman Wonderland's normal prisoners and become the Undertakers Corp, leading the offence of the war against the Deadman and eventually taking entire branches of armies under their wing to recruit as Undertaker Soldiers. Their motto is:
'A dead man walking is a living Deadman's strings.
We are the scissors who cut the strings.
We are the men who take down the puppeteer.
We are the Undertakers, who take their rites.'

Events and Terms
Great World War: A joke name used to specify the war raging on between humanity and Deadmen. Originally War of the Deadmen, the name was invented when someone remembered the Great Tokyo Earthquake and decided to reinvent the name as a stupid joke, which stuck.

Second Great Tokyo Earthquake: A massive earthquake of Richter 9.5 starting at what is now the Ruins of Deadman Wonderland. This destroyed most of Japan and devastated Tokyo, effectively leaving it in turmoil. Other countries weren't affected until the victims and Deadmen from Japan entered their countries, citing them to start the Great World War.

Deadism: Think of racism, except replace whoever is the reciever of the abuse and replace it with Deadmen. This, put simply, is prejudice against Deadmen, and is rather uncommon, but not unheard of.
