AKA

Name of Species: Aka

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}{CLICK HERE for Appearance, Culture, and Origin}Baseline Dimension: About the equivalent to a normal human, with the only difference being that males tend to be 7 ft upon reaching maturity(which is 17 years).

Baseline Appearance: Red skin and horns that grow along their head are the most notable features of the Aka. At least some form of tattoo is on their body. Aka never wear anything that covers their arms nor head. Men wear skirts(though more modern Aka do wear jeans) while women usually wear whatever they fancy. Eye color ranges from green to red. Aka also do not wear shoes, their soles are tough anyway.

Culture/Origin of Species: The Aka are a ferocious race that has no known origin land. Mysteriously appearing a few years after the War, this race cleaned up any "violent mess" left behind in a storm of furious fire. The sounds of roars and mighty shouts intimidated the masses, making people fear their home would be swept in the sea of fire and flames. However only the peaceful side of races were spared. Any opposing forces to the peace, any extremism was immediately cleansed by a fire. However after the fire is gone, whole forests bloom, massive fields of beautiful flowers and grass covered the lands. The Aka then mysteriously disappeared, only to come back as civilization grew. However those days have long since past. The Aka are still scary, with demonic appearances and long tongues and fangs, and the Aka love that fact. While friendly and accepting, getting on their wrong side will send you packing with your tail between your legs. Their dance is the races' most unique culture, using strong intimidating movements and loud acoustic slaps Aka and with drawings depicting things with fire and ferocity adding to this both beautiful and powerful dance.

Traits:
• Fire and Brimstone are the Aka's specialty, able to create this ferocious flames and spew mighty jets of lava as if a raging volcano.
•The Aka have a mysterious soft side. They are able to grow land and create beautiful foliage through their flames once the fires died down. Their flames go out as beautiful petals scattering to the wind.
• The Aka can essentially become lava monsters or plant monsters, whichever they fancy. Though this transformation is described as blinding and often only trained by the most well-disciplined Aka.

Flaws:
• Seawater prevents them from spreading their fire, and their fire immediately turns to rock upon contact with enough sea water.

AKH "GLORIOUS SPIRIT"

Name of Species: Akh, it is translated to "glorious spirit"

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Please keep in mind to have realistic human heights and weights. They usually are not extremely short (unless a child) or tall(with a defect).  Majority of akhs take on human heights and weights. They also usually have very fit bodies and appropriate body mass indexes. 

Baseline Appearance: The baseline appearance for humans vary. Some are tall and some are short.  All of them have different skin tones, eyes, and hair colors etc.  They also can have what they are referred to as "god's aesthetic gifts". These could just be appearance traits gifted by the god to the person after death as a marking.

But at the end of the day, these traits usually non-human traits serve purely for aesthetic purposes as granted by the god who resurrected them.  If they carry any unnatural traits such as animal ears or wings, it usually doesn't grant them an additional ability. Therefore, aesthetic features are not considered an ability.

Culture/Origin of Species:
Please note that these are based on Egyptian lore in the real world.  The translation for Eygpt in this universe is Nome of Khem. "Region of Black Arts". Note when roleplaying to use the term "Nome of Khem" if talking about the origin of Akh.  If referring to religion you call it "Khemism" or if you are a partaker in the religion you are called "Khemist".

The Egyptians are an interesting group of people. They were conquerors and ahead of their time, they invented many things. however, they had very different views and thoughts on life.  You and I may think that if there is an afterlife that you certainly may want to go and live with your family and friends happily for eternity. If you were to somehow stay on this planet as a ghost/spirit you clearly did something wrong. You were an evil and mean person. However, the Egyptians were very different in their way of religious thought processes. They believed that if you were to die and somehow stay as a ghost you did something right as a person.  That you did something so, very heroic and spiritually correct; you get to stay living for the rest of eternity spreading good words unless fate or the god sees otherwise.

 This is what an Akh is. Someone simply who has died and been resurrected by a god and sent to do good things.

Akhs are seen as very lucky and good people to most who understand their backstory. Don't worry, like you and I there are some, individuals who hate them. To them, they are demonic and strange in their ways and abilities. 

However.

They all have one thing in common: charisma and pleasant personalities.

Akhs, although initially originating from Egyptian mythology, come in all skin colors and races and even worshiping other religions(before their death).

Traits: 
•Empathetic Healing- An Akh, through touch, can make a person or themselves feel happy or ignore pain entirely for moments at a time.  Although, the person feels happy and ignoring mental or physical pain they cannot change the thoughts or views of another person.  Or if they are ignoring physical pain, if they are suffering from lethal injuries doesn't keep them from dying. There is no physical healing to this, only emotional.
•Invisibility- An Akh can go periods of time when they aren't seen. This does not make them intangible.
•Peak Human Condition- An Akh has endurance, speed, strength, and agility compared to highly trained human athletes. This is not a super ability. If a human is incapable of doing it-then they probably can't. 
•Physical Immortality- An Akh lives in the same body they died in(minus god's aesthetics). This means they look the same forever. Most Akhs tend to die when they are in their teens or young adult ages, although, there are exceptions. 


Flaws: 
•Restrictions on Immortality- Akhs are bound to an object they found precious in their previous life.    If the object is burned or destroyed they will pass on if a god does not intervene. Majority of the time, gods see this as fate and they will let them pass on into the heavenly part of the afterlife. Akhs can still die by normal means if the object to they are bound to is not destroyed,(ex. stab wounds or being burned) if this is the case then there bodies will be teleported to their birthplace where it takes hours for them to resurrect and live again.  It is only if the object they are bound to is completely destroyed that they will surely die.
•Restrictions on Invisibility- If another living being touches an Akh they will be seen for at least a full minute before they are capable of go invisible again.

ALIEN

Name of Species: Alien

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: It is rare for an alien in their natural form to be larger than 30 ft, however different aliens vary due to the term 'alien' being a broad description for an unknown entity, often from outside of the planet.

Baseline Appearance: Although they may be able to shape shift aliens in their natural form do not resemble humans or any creature known, mythical or otherwise. They may be coated in a toxic liquid, lack bones or shine with light, they are completely unknown and barely documented. Many have constellations across their skin while in human form, tiny shining diomond like pinpricks of light which form the constellations of their home world.

Culture/Origin of Species: Outside of the planet, mentioned occasionally in old scripts and texts of ancient religions. However many aliens are known to reproduce on other planets, the main reason being that when the children mature they get more power over their traits and sometimes are influenced by their alien lineage to take control of the area, dominate and invade. 

Traits:
• Aliens are often able to transcend language barriers, speaking not only their own alien tongue, and the human language but many native languages of other species. 
• Once aliens are able to master their traits some are able to slightly influence the emotions of those that they spend a lot of time with
• Non physical attacks are less effective due to the aliens natural affinity for magical power and the cosmos
• Aliens often have talents that do not use conventional elements (Light, dark, earth, fire, nature etc) but may use ethereal energies, stardust, or another obscure talent 
• Aliens have high stamina, gaining 3 points to their stamina aspect. They may not show any talent or power for many years until it is suddenly unlocked within a couple of years once aliens hit puberty they train fast. 
• Naturally aliens have an impeccable sense of direction, knowing north to south and being able to navigate as if there was a map within their mind. 

Flaws:
• Aliens are prone to miscommunication, being outcasts, or being discriminated against due to how little is known about them
• Aliens cannot always control their emotions and talents, there is an order inside them compelling them to take control as an invasive species
• Due to being a species which has not been researched much talents that heal are less effective against aliens

ANDROIDS

Name of Species: Androids

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Height: Typically 5'10, varies based on the human Weight: Typically around 200LB due to the metal, varies based on the human

Baseline Appearance: Androids come from humans, they can vary as such and have no definite features that make them all the same. The forms of technology their bodies possess may vary, but usually half of their body consists of some form of technology.

Culture/Origin of Species: Androids are beings that are once human that survive off of technology in order to keep living. Without the technology in them, they are likely to be in a crippled state. Usually this is caused from some form of accident or incident that leaves their body in critical condition and unable to function normally, so Androids cover up their limitations with the wonders of technology. They still have the free will and mind of a human, but the technology within their bodies allows them to go beyond what the average human can do.
Androids may also be robots made completely by man, but given the free will and emotions of a human being. These are the most brilliant Androids, but emotional development for them at the start of their lives is difficult.

Traits:
•Androids have the choice of remaining in a human-like form or revealing their metallic bodies through transformations. Regardless of what they choose, the metallic parts of their bodies gives them a higher durability boost thanks to having rougher material than flesh and bone. Androids obtain a 3 Aspect Points in Resilience.
•Calculations are nearly flawless thanks to how fast a machine can process information with almost no room for error. Androids are capable of calculating statistics and probabilities in their minds swiftly, making analyzing situations much easier.

Flaws:
•While Androids are typically resistant to light amounts of water, their water resistance may only last for so long. If an Android finds that their body is attacked by or surrounded by mass bodies of water, the 3 Aspect Points in Resilience is neutralized while calculating the damage inflicted onto the Android.

ANGELS

Name of Species: Angels 

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Angels typically follow the same body sizes as humans with the additions of wings. 

Baseline Appearance: Although their bodies are much like humans, angels are known to have skin across their back that appears to be covered in writing. Angels can follow different religions, and the writing across their skin are texts from their sacred word. 

Culture/Origin of Species: Angels covers a lot of subspecies, as angels themselves are children who have been blessed in the womb and emerge as an angelic being with part of their religions holy and light power within. Its most common for angels to be formed from human babies however there have been cases of halfbreeds being blessed. As for their culture each angel is naturally allied with the religion that they were blessed as, while angels can act in moral gray ways there is no consequence for them acting evil or dark while they are alive. That being said once their soul passes on there is no telling the revenge that the greater beings of the angels religion will reap. 

Traits:
• Illusions, traits and talents that revolve around lying and deceit are less effective against angels
• Angels mature slowly, at a 1 : 5 rate with humans which means that while they may spend longer at school to mentally reach emotional maturity at the end of their many years an angel will be greatly knowledgeable. 
• Due to their slow aging angels also have 3 points into speed, which extends to increasing their reflex speed, reaction speed and other senses. 
• Angels are unable to be affected by natural plagues and illnesses 

Flaws:
• Is compelled to fully believe in everything of the chosen religion or faith, be it helping others or genocide
• They take more damage and are generally weaker to darkness and shadow based traits and talents

ANTHRO

Name of Species: Anthro

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}{CLICK HERE for Appearance, Culture, and Origin}Baseline Dimension: Anthros range widely in height varying from 3 feet to 7 feet when grown, much the same can be said about their weight which spans anywhere from 20lbs to 200lbs.

Baseline Appearance: Picture the rainbow, that's the range for hair, eye and skin color for Anthros! They are also very varied in unique traits, possessing ears, tails, claws, and such traits from numerous species of animals or other mythical creatures, however an Anthro can only carry these traits from *one* other species. Anthros may have a human form however they will not be able to take on the physical structure of the animal completely.

Culture/Origin of Species: Anthro's are a culturally diverse species present everywhere in the world, this is because of the origin of their blood like, half breeds. In the very beginning? Anthro's began as the children of halfbreeds whom happened to be of the same mix, breeding further and further away from both their human and non human ancestors over time, until they eventually ended up becoming a distinct species of their own.

Traits:
• Anthro's have a wide range of potential senses since what sensory abilities Anthros possess is based upon what animal they share characteristics with.
• Anthros may take on characteristics of their animal such as venomous snake fangs, wings for flight, or enhanced swimming skills.
• Anthros gain 3 aspect points into their strength due to being a mix of the powerful human and a wild animal

Flaws:
• Anthros will not be born with a distinct mother tongue, while other species will have their own language Anthros only naturally speak the humans language and will have to learn the language of their animal.
• Due to the sensory abilities as well as the animalistic characteristics some anthro's are known to get overloaded with information and are prone to emotional instability

ANYJI (IHPEIHPE MERMAID/MERMAN)

Name of Species: Anyji (Ihpeihpe Mermaid/Merman)

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Their bodies, including their fishy tails, are around 7ft to 9ft.

Baseline Appearance: Generally, they have the upper body of a human and they lower body of a aquatic creature, which is usually that of a fish. Their fish-half is usually covered in colorful, beautiful scales. Although rarely, sometimes their forearms are covered in scales, as well. Their hair and eye colors, while not as wild as other more mystical species, but still have a colorful arrangement. Reds, blues, and greens are not uncommon. Also, eye colors usually match scale colors.

Culture/Origin of Species: The Anyji, while not the most prominent, are the most populous sentient species on Ihpeihpe Island. They live on every shoreline except those that of the radioactive, glowing wastes, and the mechanized port cities of the Pyrdem. They do not live in cities, but in a homogeneous, evenly spaced mixture of terrestrial sandstone houses and aquatic, coral-walled dwellings of those who live underwater. They’re an easygoing people, and the most aggressive conflicts they’ve had are the passionate games of beach volleyball between those who live above and below water. While by not very much, there is a cultural divide between those who live on land and those who live in water, but those living either above or below water do not often change their choice of living. They usually live in large, familial units, where an entire family, starting with grandparents, parents, aunt/uncles, children/cousins, where an entire bloodline lives together. When “paired off” (their culture’s equivalent of marriage), the male is traditionally the one who leaves and moves into the homestead of the female’s family. In same-gender or non-binary romances, the older partner moves into the home of the younger partner. The name of their species, “Anyji” comes from the word meaning ‘us’ and ‘together’ in their language and Mermaid/Merman is a shorthand that humans and more human races use to refer to them.

Traits:
• Swimmingly: The merfolk have a natural affinity for water. Aside from their possession of both gills and lungs, allowing them to breath in and out of water, they’re amazing swimmers and are naturally gifted at (and oftentimes possess) water-based talents. Naturally, being so hydrodynamic has its benefits. All Anyji receive +3 to their speed aspect.
• Vaporous: Despite their more marine shape, and despite their dwelling primarily being underwater or on the shoreline, Anyji can adapt well to surface living, as well. Any Anyji has the ability to levitate indefinitely about a foot off of the ground, where they can move at the speed that a normal human would walk/run/etc..

Flaws:
• Two-limbed: No… legs. Not even the ability to morph their tails into legs. Also, if they stay out of water for a long period of time, they’ll dry out.

ARANIA

Name of Species: Arania

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}{CLICK HERE for Appearance, Culture, and Origin}Baseline Dimension: Arania females are notably larger than their males. The average height of a female Arania is 6ft while the males average at 4ft. While they are the average weight of a human, whenever they become their spider forms they do gain some mass which bring them to the average of 80 kilos for females and 65 kilos for males.

Baseline Appearance: Arania come with a variety of features, though commonly are pieces of chitin over their body. While they can look relatively human, some Arania may have multiple eyes and may have a split jaw. Women are born with a natural sharp look, a femme fatale vibe to their face shape. Men tend to lean towards cute in terms of appearance.

Culture/Origin of Species: A common tale of the origin of these spider folk is that the first of their kind challenge a Goddess in a battle of weaving. Upon losing(though some sources said she won), the girl was turned into a spider for her arrogance(in the sources that say she won she was described to have turned into a spider from the sore loser goddess). However this is merely a fairy tale told among the Arania to remind children to respect the people around them, but they keep it as "history" in order to entertain the arachnophobic and their somewhat sadistic tendencies.

The Arania are notably known for silk constructs, whether it be clothes, fabric or even buildings(Arania live in caves which allow them to make web buildings), and often fall under a matriarchy. The head Arania among the generation of siblings is decided by using web to construct something that would support the family the best, and the children decide who gets said position. Once the head Arania is decided, the previous head will mark a special tattoo on their back depicting what kind of web construct they made in order to earn their position.

Traits:
• All Arania have a spider transformation. The extent of this transformation is varied but common transformations include just having spider arms sprouting from the back to allow climbing of walls and ceilings, a half spider form that allows them to produce web from a spinneret. Full spider transformations are only traits of head Arania or ex-head Arania.
• Arania species web is a very strong material that all Arania are capable of weaving and using for a variety of uses. This swiss army knife of a material can even be used to create homes and even act as sticky cages. Some Arania have even found a way to make the web solid like a wall and even fireproof.

Flaws:
• Arania have sensitive eyes, being cave dwellers in origin. So often you see Arania outside of caves wearing something like sunglasses or shades(which honestly match their look).

ATALUM (PEGASUS)

Name of Species: Atalum (Pegasus)

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Although generally believed to be of a horse-shaped stature, Pegasi are a group of humanoid beings that can transform into their better-known form, that of a winged unicorn. In their humanoid appearance, which is referred to as their 'resting state' within communities of the species, they resemble a tall individual with long limbs. Also notably, females and males of the species have very similar heights. Male have a larger margin of difference than females, where they can be slightly shorter or taller than any average female and females, while having a smaller range of heights are on average, taller than males of the species, with very few males growing taller than 6'3". (Even the shortest males are tall by human standards, however.) That being said, in their resting state/normal form, males are anywhere from 5'11" (180 cm) to 6'6" (198 cm) on average and females usually range from 6'0" (182 cm) to 6'4" (193 cm). Because pegasi have hollow bones, which partially allow for their ability of flight, they're usually lighter than humans despite their larger bodies. Pegasi usually do not store too much adipose/fat on their bodies if they frequently use their wings, but can become overweight if they abstain from flight or live sedentary lifestyles. Generally, both genders naturally form lean musculature during adolescence partially due to their genetics and also the importance their culture puts on flight (which is a surefire way to get in shape). In addition to their mastery and focus on flight, Pegasi are natural runners and gifted athletes with naturally low metabolisms. Males and females are usually muscular, but with more modern-living or city-dwelling pegasi, they may remain lean. In their horse-like forms, they resemble the Akhal-Teke breed of horse with large dove-like wings and a large horn on their forehead.


Baseline Appearance: Similar to humans, skin color, eye, and hair color differs from each individual. Skin color closely resembles that range of human but hair and eye colors do not. As well as blacks, browns, and blondes, pegasi hair color also includes various shades of silver, teal, pink, purple, and gray. Silver is the most common hair color. Their eye color functions somewhat differently than humans. They have a primary eye color, which is the color of their iris, and a secondary eye color, which colors a thin, glowing layer behind their iris. As a result, their eyes glow brightly with their secondary color. Primary eye colors usually include black, brown, blue, green, hazel, silver, sepia, gold, red, burgundy, and various shades of gray. It's said that personality determines the secondary eye color. There is no limit on whatever secondary color a pegasi can have. Pegasi also naturally have a gemstone embedded in their skin, somewhere on their body, but most commonly (about 90% of the population) have it on the center of their forehead. Perhaps one of the two defining features of the species is their large, single horn in the center of the frontal skull bone. For most individuals it can grow up to a foot long and is made out of pearl. In very rare occasions, it can be made of quartz or even glass. If their horn ever breaks, it falls off and a new one grows in its place. It can take up to a year for the new horn to grow to its full size. Horns usually first begin growing in adolescence. Pegasi also have large, sweeping horse-like tails that are covered with long hair that is the same color as their hair. They also have large, dove wings that extend from their shoulder-blades. The most common color for these wings is white, but it's also common for a pegasus's wings to match their hair color. Their wingspan is around 28 feet (8.5) meters on average. They can use magic to hide any of their unique features (horn, gemstone, wings, etc.), which is more commonly used in the modern world. Also so they can fit into doorways.


Culture/Origin of Species: Not much is known of the early history of the Alatum. After the ancient war, it is hypothesized that a group of horses mutated wings, and a single antler-like horn on their forehead. An unknown amount of time later, something happened. The group of horses were enlightened. By what exactly, none know. This holy force transformed them into a human-like state and turned their horns into pearl. Not much is known from then, other than that like wild horses, they retained their skittish nature and avoided contact with humans and other species. Blessed by whatever holy force that gave them sentience, the force also left them the ability to speak and write. They settled in the warm, green mountains in the cloud forests of Ihpeihpe Island building intricate, hidden villages of hanging buildings without villages. Wings are much needed in their cities. Their culture values flying and agility--both quickness of muscle and of mind and has no real leader. A perfect example of direct democracy. In their small villages, every adult Pegasi gather to decide politics and other means. Spiritual in nature, they're strict vegetarians and are extreme pacifists. There always is compromise. They're skilled apothecaries and doctors and many have an ability they call, "healing touch", where when they cover their hands/a wound in water, they can channel energy into another and mend an injury or cure a sickness. Those with the ability are highly valued in the society and were the first to leave their isolated communities. Those from nearby villages would often come injured and sick, where they would be cured with ease and sent back. Once word of their ability spread, many began to travel to their isolated villages to receive "a miraculous cure". Soon, pegasi were hired by businesses and governments to heal their wounded. However, their history perhaps predates the Ancient War, with relics and epitaphs depicting their existence before the rush of mutagenic chemicals swept over the known world. But who knows. It is also important to note that the proper name (and traditional name) of the species is 'Alatum' (both singular and plural), and that pegasus/pegasi is shorthand. They have a vague religion, which while is important to their society, isn't completely integral. They worship the God of the Moon, or just 'Lun', in their tongue (the religion shares the same name), and believe that they were the enlightening force that raised them, and many other species on Ihpeihpe in sentience. The moon guides free thought and avoidance of a greater regime. The moon is the cool light that pushes water ashore. They also believe in the Goddess of the Sun, who's brilliant rays give the soil around them life, and allows them to see. There isn't a official way to show devotion to their gods, but the village apocatheries are also considered religious leader due to their ability to learn Luna, a traditional magic believed to gifted to the Alatum by Lun, along with their healtouch, which was also believed to be gifted to them by Lun.

Traits:
• Jet-speed: Every pegasus is fast. Mostly because of their hollow bones and lean muscle. They receive +3 to their speed stat.
• Healtouch: When a pegasi touches someone while covered with water (either the pegasi or the area of the person whom is being affected), they can heal whatever wound is within that area, or in some cases, even cure a cold or other sickness. More as a side effect, they usually don't get sick, and can heal their wounds.
• Aerobatics: Because of their hollow bones and wings, they can fly (duh) as long as their wings are functional and visible.
• Silver tongue, silver hands: Alatum have a holy aura to them and are closely aligned with the Moon. People and animals are drawn to their peaceful, beautiful nature. They can communicate with animals as well as dispel evil/corrupt magic. When they choose, their voice can carry their divine energy with it. People listen when they speak, sing, chant, whisper. They find it easier to manipulate people. Sometimes completely control people. (Requires OoC permission to use on other characters.) Their complexion radiates this same divine aura. Pegasi don't wrinkle or blemish. Or age at all, seemingly, with lifespans longer than most humans. Their features are often described as perfect, symmetrical. They're paragons of beauty. Congruently, most are considered very attractive by most people.


Flaws:
• No horseshoes: They have a grotesque reaction to iron, or any alloy iron in it. Their skin burns when it touches their skin. Short exposures can cause blisters and welts, while anything longer can give any degree of burns depending on how long the pegasi was touching it. It also hurts a lot to touch it. Being within a few inch radius of iron can cause mild nausea, but small objects like nails, etc. will not cause sickness.
• Hollow bones: Despite the utility of such bones, it also causes them to be a lot more fragile than an average creature. When it might take a car crash or a significant injury to break a human's bone, something seemingly not life threatening (ie. falling down the stairs, or more than 6 feet) can result in a hospital visit.

ATLANTICUS

Name of Species: Atlanticus

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}{CLICK HERE for Appearance, Culture, and Origin}Baseline Dimension: The Atlanticus are notably tall, ranging from 6ft to 10 ft depending on age and gender. Males are typically larger and heavier, weighing at least 75 kilos and can reach heights of 11ft. Females on the other hand are lighter though their weight is still a heavy 68 kilos, with the tallest recorded to be about 9 ft 10 inches. Most Atlanticus are top heavy, so a notable apple shape can be seen on most Atlanticus, though an hourglass is relatively common as well.

Baseline Appearance: The Atlanticus are relatively humanoid, it was not uncommon to have scales and claws and even a tail. Some Atlanticus even have fins and horns. The Atlanticus have multiple ways of breathing, whether it be their nose or their gills that are located on their back. Their wings can easily be mistaken for cloth, attached to their arms like a wyvern. Some Atlanticus can shift grow their wings out whenever they wish, however it is a heritage feature.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Common Appearances include:



and

Culture/Origin of Species: Hailing from the mountains of Hisakawa, the Atlanticus are barely seen outside their mountain home, especially after the war. However as inter-species relationships grew stronger, these shy draconic race revealed themselves sooner or later, especially after the Hisakawa empire rose to power.
Back then it was not clear how the Atlanticus had food, especially in the cold mountains. They had two adaptations, there were warm-blooded dragons, and thus it proved easy to survive the cold regions and caves which they carve out themselves with the help of a special gland in their mouth that produces a liquid that can break down and melt away rock and sediment. It was clear that the Atlanticus could fly, thanks to visible wings which varied in design, and their eyes are trained to prevent snow blindness. It turns out that, the Atlanticus are capable swimmers and use a dive bombing technique to catch fish that swim to close to the surface and use their wings to swim back up, before bringing it back to their cave, the cold temperatures actually keep the fish fresh.
These days the Atlanticus are known for being excellent fishers, catching hull in teams of five. Some even serve the local police force thanks to their intimidating size and strength.

Traits:
• The Atlanticus are known for their impressive strength and durability, easily capable of taking more than a few blows.
• The Atlanticus are known for being able to fly and swim, their bodies able to handle the high velocities they may experience while airborne and to handle the pressure and force of diving into water as well. Their respiratory system is so advanced there has been a discussion about studying them to incorporate it into super engines.
• The Atlanticus produce a special substance in their mouths capable of melting rock and sediment away, though metals may be able to resist low amounts of it.
• The Atlanticus feature modified senses that allow them to survive in their mountainous environment and make them capable fishers. They feature 3 eyelids, a strong resistant transparent eyelid prevent dirt and dust from entering their eyes as they fly about while also prevent snow blindness and water glares. Night vision is a common trait along with echolocation.

Flaws:
• They lack an actual breath unlike their cousins, half breeds inherit this similar feature. So no fire breathing, ice breathing and what not. It does not prevent talents from covering up this flaw though as it is not part of their biological function.
• Atlanticus have sensitive hearing, therefore high pitch noises are painful to them.

ATRANOCH

Name of Species:  Atranoch: Glacier Element

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension:  Varies.  An Atranoch's true form can be many different shapes and forms due to the fact that they are an element and can choose what they wish to look like.  They can be extremely short with a strong build, extremely tall with very thin limbs, etc.  On average they tend to have a height ranging from four feet to ten feet tall.  Most of the time they have a body with arms and legs, as well as a head, many with wings, tails, even tentacles, (ranges on personal taste) even unique and unnatural appendages.  In addition they can take on the appearance of humans.  There are of course certain Atranochs who can take on the appearance of more than one race, but most do not have this ability.  Their dimension also depends on whether they are a more evasive or brutish atranoch.  Normally their body reforms, fixing any damage dealt to them, unless A: they are low on elemental resource, or B: they are hit by their element's weakness.

Baseline Appearance:  Varies.  As stated above it depends on the Atranoch's personal taste.  They typically take on a human like appearance or shape, but there are those who prefer a more monstrous, beast or alien like appearance.  When summoned temporarily, Atranoch's usually keep to their true appearance.  When permanently summoned until they or their summoner becomes deceased, they normally take on a non elemental form such as humans or another species (though typically humans).  Normally when they take on the appearance of another species, their appearance will mimic the element they are based off of.  For Glacier Atranoch's specifically, they are of course made of ice and have the appearance of ice.  Whether it's one solid shifting piece of ice or hundreds of shards moving together.  When taking the appearance of a species from the material world, they retain traits similar to their element.  Such as hair with a white and frosty shape and color, as well as white or silver eyes, pale skin, and a generally cool temperature.

Culture/Origin of Species:  Atranochs live in a different plane of existence known as Elentros.  This plane of existence resides in between reality and fantasy.  Material world and dreams.  Atranochs are able to travel into either worlds in different manners.  It's always possible for them to freely enter the dream world, however they find the material world more entertaining.  As they've observed the material world, their own world slowly grew into it's likeness...  To an extent.  While they were intrigued with the physical realm, they were still in tune with the realm of fantasy, and thus their home is a mixture of the many elements and the concepts from dreams.  To enter the material world however, Atranochs had to forge some sort of bond with them.  They reached out to those with special abilities and were able to create a sort of bridge between their worlds.  These 'bridges' worked by summoning Atranochs to the material world, or vice versa.  Only those willing to travel to the other side were able to be summoned, thus keeping any unwanted transports from occurring. In addition to Atranochs there are elementals.  Elementals are similar to Atranochs in that their body, abilities and such are based off of an element, but they are less sentient and powerful than Atranochs.  In addition to this, they have a less greater list of possible elements than Atranochs.  Atranochs can be just about any element.  There are Nature Elements such as inferno, magma, water, stone, glacier, vegetation, wind, storm, metal, light, shadow, etc.  Elementals can only be an element of fire, ice, stone or wind.  Elementals are typically seen by the Atranochs as children or pets, depending on their sentience level, and generally care for them.

Just as Atranochs come in all shapes and sizes, so do their personalities.  Being able to observe a plane of existence made entirely out of concepts and dreams however, typically gives them creativity and adaptability as a strength.  At the same time however, their personality and outlook on life and individuals can in fact change depending on multiple scenarios.  The more common one being who they travel and mingle with in the material or fantasy worlds.  If they travel beside a noble knight who values the lives of the innocent, no matter their position then they grow to become something similar.  If they travel with a bloodthirsty murderer who gets a kick from a few kills, they become more cruel like them.  However, if an Atranoch has already shifted to one type of personality, and travels with one of the opposite, the Atranoch will instead try to influence it's companion.  Atranochs however, regardless of their personality, rarely try to make a permanent impact on the material or fantasy worlds, as they are a part of neither of them.  This can of course change, but it is highly unlikely. Seeing as how they are from a plane of existence that resides between reality and fiction, Atranochs cannot in fact truly die.  Their bodies may shatter or be dispersed, but their 'essence' will simply return to Elentros, awaiting to be summoned once again.  Atranoch's can live an incredible long time.  A short life to them is around five hundred years, while a long lived life can be up to five thousand.

Traits:
• Flash Freezing: Being the incarnation of the very essence of cold, Glacier Atranoch's can cool the area down around them, or even freeze everything within a sixty meter radius.  They can toggle this ability on or off, but by default it is usually set on unless specified otherwise.
• Naturally Cool: Glacier Atranoch are the literal incarnation of ice, and as such have an extreme resistance and tolerance to any attack dealt to them by ice or cold.  Freezing temperatures are comfortable to them instead of deadly as it is to most individuals, even if they have a material form.
• Material CompositionIn the realm of Elentros, the inhabitants could choose which world they wished to join because they were the in between of the two.  While they take on a material form in the material world, they can in fact revert to their original form and split their body in varies ways.  If a part of them detaches from their body however (such as tossing a hand as an icicle) then they cannot retrieve it, and must either grow it back or return to Elentros to recover.
• Assimilate: While the elements in the material world are not exactly like those in the realm of Elentros (due to Elentros having influence from the realms of fantasy as well) the elements of Elentros are close enough where an Atranoch can actually absorb their element equivalent to restore lost limbs, or even restore their own energy with it.
• Home Advantage: When in contact with it's corresponding element (glacier), or the right temperature (20 degrees fahrenheit and below), the Atranoch's physical strength and it's abilities become stronger, faster and more effective in general.
• Soothing Snow: Assuming the Atranoch is not gravely or mortally wounded in any way, it can create a sort of snow that can heal minor injuries.
• Elemental Force: Atranoch's are a sort of glass cannon. Their power is amplified so that they can better serve their summoner as an offensive individual. Glacier Atranoch's are not tanks. (+2 to strength aspect)
• Analysts: Most Atranoch are used to the crazy nature of the dream/fantasy realm they watch from time to time. Thanks to this they are usually able to spot things easier and quicker than most races. This includes being able to accurately spot and follow even a speeding bullet.
• Quick Shave: Despite popular belief, Glacier atranoch's aren't tanks. In fact, very rarely do they ever have a bulky body. Most of the time they have a structure that amplifies their speed, and even if they don't they are still faster than other species. (+1 speed aspect)
• Shattered: While Atranoch don't have much defense, and while it is true that any piece of them that falls off is no longer a part of their body, they can use their own energy to catch any falling piece and reattach it to themselves. They could be completely shattered and still pull themselves together.

Flaws:• Summer Cold: If the temperature gets too high, the Atranoch won't be able to create ice and snow (around 100 degrees fahrenheit and above).  In addition to this, the Atranoch will get a cold, regardless of where they are or what they are doing.
• Vulnerability:The Glacier Atranoch is naturally weak to the inferno element (or fire).  Fire can melt and/or shatter the Atranoch if there isn't anything between it and the fire, and weakens the Atranoch if it is near the inferno element.
• Non Compatible: Glacier Atranoch cannot assimilate elements that do not match it's own.  If it is anything other than ice or frost it cannot absorb it.
• Glass Cannon: Atranoch's in general are more about quick strikes than anything else. It is possible to have atranoch's who prioritize defense over offense, but Glacier Atranoch's are not so. Thus unless they wear armor of some sort, they won't be able to resist any direct hit against them.
• Dependent: In order to enter the material world, an Atranoch must have some sort of wish or goal in said world. Therefore they are dependent on whoever has summoned them, for it's them and them alone who ties them to the material world.

AUTOMATONS

Name of Species: Automatons

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Automatons widely vary in their baseline dimensions. Some can be a foot tall where others are upwards to 20 feet tall. Heights and other sizes range with it, depending on the size and what material they are made with, and thus could be ten pounds or even ten tons.

Baseline Appearance: Generally Automatons have no eyes, just holes carved out that glow an eerie red, but some may socket gems within these holes and it allows them to still see clearly and give them something akin to eyes for others to look at. As they are magical constructs, hair and skin are nonexistent. Some may choose to wear wigs if they long for hair. As they are made of materials, such as wood, stone, or precious metals, they tend to be blend in with surroundings made of the same material.

Culture/Origin of Species: Automatons, or to some known as Golems, are a species that were born not long ago. Originally made to be mindless servants to do the bidding of their masters, they somehow gained the sentience to go off and begin a life on their own. Unsure as to how, many professors and researchers try and learn about them. Automatons know as much as they do, leaving much unknown and many wanting to learn about it. Even so, the species managed to learn how to create more of themselves in large 'factories' that use materials they harvest to create more of themselves. Each is like a newborn, needing to learn as any child, but comes out in the size and shape that the magical factory dictates for them.
As a culture, they are similar to a hive mind. They go about tasks as a group and finish things as productively as possible. The only thing missing is the actual 'hive mind.' Each Automaton is autonomous and can think and act freely on its own. This leads to times of strife, as well as bouts of peace, though so far there has been more peace than anything else due to their willingness to help each other out more often than now.

Traits:
• Construct: As they do not have a normal physical body, Automatons do not have the standard physical weaknesses that a flesh and blood would have. They have no internal organs, and do not need to breathe nor do they have any need for sustenance of any kind.
• Powerful: As they have no flesh and bone, and are simply brought to life through magic, the beings are extremely powerful physically. They have a +1 to their strength/vitality/resilience because of this.
• Inquisitive: Automatons are extremely inquisitive, and are always open to learning. Due to this they are fast learners and do well with retaining and recalling information. Sometimes they earn the nickname of 'libraries' because of this.
• Labor Union: Tasks given to an Automaton are almost always successfully done. When they feel the need for help, or the want to help, they find that other Automatons are happy to help them out in most situations. This 'union' gives the species the upper hand in groups and a massive level of teamwork when needed.

Flaws: 
• Inquisitive: While they like to learn, sometimes it is best not to learn or ask about certain things. Many the Automaton have been destroyed for getting into the wrong conversation or subject.
• Material-based: Due to being constructs of materials instead of flesh and blood, every Automaton has a defined set of weaknesses because of what they are made of. (One made of wood burns easier, while one made of gold has a low melting point.) This causes them to have to be careful in todays world, as many are able to deal with their weaknesses should they become a threat.

BAKEDANUKI (TRADITIONAL)

Name of Species: Tanuki Yokai | Bakedanuki

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: A little under a foot tall, a little over two feet long in their true form.

Baseline Appearance: Natural fur shades of brown, tawny, or pure white. They are basic Japanese raccoon dogs with magical powers.

Culture/Origin of Species: The Tanuki Yokai, also known as the Bakedanuki, is a magical raccoon dog known for deception and playfulness. Neither dog nor raccoon, the tanuki is known for its skills in shapeshifting and playing pranks on others. Despite their love of a rather shady craft, Bakedanuki are generally more playful than malevolent, and have a knack for bringing good luck to those that win their favor. Favorite pranks include disguising dried leaves and pebbles as money, along with using illusions and shapeshifting for some "harmless" trick.

Traits:
• Shapeshifting | Bakedanuki are masters of disguise, and as such can freely shapeshift into almost any form they wish.
• Illusions | Along with shapeshifting, Bakedanuki can utilize various small and large scale illusions.
• Tanukitsuki | Like their fox counterparts, Tanuki have the ability to possess and unsuspecting individual.
• Good Luck Charm | Those who find favor in the eyes of a Tanuki, when around them, will gain +1 to their vitality aspect for a temporary amount of time.
• Curse Seal | Those who find themselves in a position of disfavor or anger of a Tanuki, when around them, will experience -1 to their vitality aspect for a brief amount of time.
• Kintama | Being innately mystical beings, Bakedanuki have +3 Stamina Aspect Points.

Flaws:
• Bakedanuki cannot sustain shapeshifting for long, and many times when in human form, are unable to fully disguise their tails, ears, claws, or fangs.
• Tanukitsuki can sometimes be ineffective as features of the fox's physical form, such as tails, ears, claws, and the like can manifest. They are also easily purged from one they possess.
• Tanuki will often have something or someone they cannot see without changing back to their original raccoon dog form and being left unable to shapeshift. This could be an object or person they hold in very high regard, or in extreme fear.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: A Surreal Being may take on any size and change it at will.

Baseline Appearance: A Surreal Being may take on any form and change it at will.

Culture/Origin of Species:
DEFINITION OF SURREALITY ▲ having the disorienting, hallucinatory quality of a dream; unreal; fantastic: | See Plato's Allegory of the Cave

[/b] ▲ Ever flowing and ever changing exists a world where the only constant is inconsistency. It is the first world and in a way, the two-dimensional real world. Surreality and Reality coincide as different shadows cast by two different lights but share the same target object that even casts the silhouettes. However, the two remain very distant and cannot even be considered parallel worlds by logical standards. The glimpses that those of Reality receive of Surreality are often referred to as “Imagination”. Of the many means of seeing Surreality, one of the most common ‘areas’ to peer into is Dreamland, during REM.
DREAMLAND ▲ Dreamland is the specific point in Surreality where one from Reality sees while asleep. It is narrow and small compared to the rest of the massive unworld. Unlike most other points and states of Surreality, Dreamland is slightly more structured and can be somewhat logically fathomed. It maintains a shifting civilization under powerful rulership to keep it partially organized. The point of this kingdom is to keep too much Surreality from slipping into the minds of Reality, which could be devastating to both the unworld and the world. As such, agents of Dreamland regulate what can and cannot be seen. The agents filter what passes through the gray area often referred to as the “Wall” or the “Fire”.
[/ul]
BEINGS OF SURREALITY ▲ Figures, shapes, ideas, and concepts within Surreality sometimes begin to take on a solid mind, becoming sentient and self aware. The beings specifically pointed in Dreamland often evolve to assume the duties of a general agent or being under rulership of the Dream King-- the biggest and most powerful force of energy with purpose to protect what passes through the Fire. The top tier dreams do not have spirits, souls, bodies, or any true 'forms' to be perceived by others. They exist barely as an "un-essence", and some may choose to take more specific forms than others.

[/b]▲ Most sentient surrealism falls directly under the Dream King’s will upon entering the point of Dreamland. The state of existence becomes best known as a “Dream” and is given authority over regulating what glimpses Reality may inevitably see of the unworld. The Dreams that fall directly under the will of the Dream King are often referred to as “Reveries”.
NIGHTMARES ▲ On rare occasions a sentient being of surreality or dream may fall outside the will of the Dream King. When this happens, they tend to grow more destructive in nature and are referred to as “Nightmares”. Without the energy the Dream King gives to Reveries for them to survive, Nightmares must seek out alternative sources. Most often, this comes in the form of negative energy which they may receive by revealing the “forbidden” aspects of Surreality to the eyes and minds of Reality. They are actively chased and hunted down by Reveries.[/ul]

TYPES OF REVERIES ▲
Agents ▲ True Reveries. Fully connected to the will of the Dream King, these dreams are the bulk of the force that regulates the thin Fire between the world and the unworld. The Agents of Dreamland hold almost infinite power over their piece of Surreality.
Daydreams ▲ Weaker dreams that are well connected to the will of the Dream King, Daydreams are often seen outside of REM. They are spotted as fleeting glimpses at any hour.
Phantasies ▲ Shreds of surreality that are loosely connected to the Dream King seldom appear, often only as flavoring to Agents during REM and Daydream spottings. Because of their loose connection to the will of the Dream King, they can be cut off or corrupted rather easily.

TYPES OF NIGHTMARES ▲
Dreamweavers ▲ Sentient Dreams of Dreamland that have lost all their connection to the will of the Dream King. They have sovereign power over much of Surreality. Any strong beings in Surreality that exist outside Dreamland but find their way in are often labeled Dreamweavers by default.
Terrors ▲ Weaker nightmares that only hold power within REM, Terrors exist as the common bulk of those that rebel against the will of the Dream King.
Nachtmyrr ▲ Phantasies that have fully detached from the will of the Dream King or become corrupted become Nachtmyrr, a weak variety of Nightmare. They have a difficult time fueling themselves to stay alive and possess little capacity to control or hold power in Dreamland.

THE CRACK IN THE FIREWALL ▲ With the constant mussing of the fabrics and boundaries of Dreamland and Surreality, a tear in the place that separates the world from the unworld has been discovered. Because of the crack, the imaginative realm has been easily slipping into the physical realm, converting Surreality to Reality as it moves. Not anyone can fit through the crack nor is it so easily discovered. Thus far, the Reveries and Dream King work to repair it while the Nightmares attempt to exploit it, wishing to fade their unworld into the new world to be discovered.
SURREALISM MEETS REALITY ▲ When the Nightmares interact with Reality, they are met with a great new source of power and fuel. With negative energy being fairly hard to come by in Dreamland without provoking it, the physical realm is appealing to any Nightmare with its overabundance of 'food'. A key means to further hunting down their prey is dragging what they can of Surreality into Reality, solidifying its existence and catering to the emotions of others, almost always for the worse. Reveries attempt to vanquish all Nightmares that enter the physical realm by hunting them down.[/spoiler]


Traits:
• Dream Beings may access, enter, and control dreams of anything that is capable of dreaming. They may also make any sentient being fall asleep at will. For this to be done on player characters, OOC permission is needed.
• A Surreal Being has the ability to read, directly speak to, and sometimes control the memories and minds of others. Speaking to is possible with telepathy, in any voice they wish. Controlling and reading must have player character OOC permission.
• Surreal Concepts are essentially immortal, unable to die of old age or via traditional means. This also gives them +3 Resilience. They may be destroyed, however, with the proper practices made against surreality. Upon a basic demise, they go back to Surreality and can return after regaining their energy, if their conceptual essence remains intact
• Surreal Beings may traverse space and sometimes time at will. Time is tricky and can get them stuck in between the fabrics easily, thus they avoid doing so. They may move between reality and surreality whenever they like.
• A dream has no soul or mind to be manipulated, destroyed, peered into, or not. Should one try to use a soul or mind based power, they will be met with dizzying confusion and disorder where the dream's soul or mind should be.
• Imagination gains power from words spoken to it. Dream Beings may bring anything spoken aloud to reality. With the endlessness of the unworld, Surreality, Dream Beings may channel concepts or objects from Surreality to Reality, manifesting whatever they like in the real world, be it everyday objects, places, or perhaps attacks in battle. Doing this wears down the wall, however. Reveries will avoid it due to it making more rips and cracks in the fabric between worlds. Nightmares may do it maliciously (often materializing someone's fears), but run a high risk of alerting the Dream King and Agents of their whereabouts.
• Surreal Beings may take on whatever form they wish, in whichever dimension or plane they choose. Many prefer ambiguous forms, such as inanimate shapes, lines, planes, etc. Others may take a solid visible form that may interact well with reality.

Flaws:
• Reveries and Nightmares both get their power and life energy from a source. Reveries get it from the Dream King, Nightmares get it from negative emotions. A lack of contact with the Dream King or the world of Surreality for a prolonged period of time can weaken a Reverie or kill it off after too long. Lack of sufficient negative energy for a Nightmare can weaken or kill it. As such, Reveries take plenty of downtime in their home to regain their energy, while Nightmares must go out of their way to provoke or stir up negativity to feed on. Their feeding does not remove negative emotions from the air, simply takes the energy and power they have to offer.
• Beings of Surreality cannot truly associate with Reality on a fundamental level. While they can create a form that can touch it, they are unable to take the life of those who are from Reality. They can, however, take the lives of spirits or other dimensional beings.
• Upon manifesting the Surreal in the physical world, Dreams spend a lot of energy and can grow weary quickly. Reveries risk breaking up the wall and losing energy, as well as the possibility that they may be forcibly returned to Surreality by the Dream King. Nightmares risk losing energy and also alerting Agents and the Dream King of where they are and what they are doing, thus allowing their enemies to potentially hunt them down and vanquish them.

BIFRONS

Name of Species: Janus Bifrons

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Tends to follow the same body sizes as a human. Sizes do not vary between the two faces outside the face.

Baseline Appearance: They tend to have the appearance of a human, or perhaps two humans. The colors may vary between the faces they hold. A bifrons always has two faces, each their own outlook and can see things differently. Outside the head, the body always remains the same, but the head can swap between two faces. One could have the second face always on the back of the first, but at times also disappear within the hair of the other as the head can turn around to show which face is in control.

Culture/Origin of Species: The God of Fates, Passages, Doorways, and Duality, Janus, was one of the first of their kind. Looking forward to the future and backward to the past, he could view both separately between the two faces. Only one ever was in control. The race of the Bifrons are beings that bear two faces in one way or another. The two faces are mentally connected, but vary in their way of thinking. However, using the knowledge from both, they tend to be in unison of their thoughts and desires. Their kind has long existed and have always been a calculated race that tried to stay away from civilization to avoid causing disturbance in the timelines.

Traits:
• Beginnings & Endings: Bifrons have some insight to both past and future, albeit they cannot always tell everything exactly, they can use this knowledge to make their decisions.
• Duality: Having two minds, a Bifrons is capable of avoiding things that manipulate the mind by switching faces.
• Transitions: With the two faces come two appearances. A second face rests at the back of the head, either hidden from sight or in plain sight at all times. While one face is active, the other face will continue to think and be capable of calculating their moves while mentally giving this through to the face in control.
• Passages: With the switching nature of theirs, Bifrons have a higher stamina than usual to keep up with the changes. +2 to stamina.

Flaws:
• Linked Minds: As the two faces always have a mental link to one another, a Bifrons is weaker to mental attacks. Both minds are always there and they require to work together to be able to hold 'control'. If affected and the minds aren't in unison, the entire body could collapse from the chaos.
• Unspoken: A Bifrons is not always capable of speaking their thoughts, they are limited by the present while connected to both past and future. As the past already happened and the future is still in the making, they cannot speak of these events and causes them to remain silent in many cases. A Bifrons cannot speak of events.

CAT YOKAI || BAKENEKO / NEKOMATA / KASHA (TRADITIONAL)

Name of Species: Cat Yokai | Bakeneko - Nekomata - Kasha

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: From average domestic cat height, to human size. Nekomata and Kasha specifically can be many meters high and/or long.

Baseline Appearance: Bakeneko generally appear as basic cats, some of which can stand and walk on their hindlegs. In human form, oftentimes their feline ears, tail, claws, and fangs are visible.

Culture/Origin of Species: Bakeneko begin their lives as ordinary, unintelligent domestic cats. Upon growing older and hitting what is deemed a long period of time to have lived, the felines become self-aware and gain the ability to speak common languages. As they grow, they often become larger in size, sometimes reaching human height when standing, and learn many types of uncanny innate abilities. Bakeneko are innately malevolent and mischievous. If a Bakeneko lives long enough and grows in their malevolent nature, they become a Nekomata-- a larger and darker version of a Bakeneko, and possess a forked or two tails. Nekomata tend to prey on other beings, specifically humans. Kasha are the epitome of cat malevolence and exclusively prey on flesh.

Traits:
• Shapeshifting | Bakeneko can shapeshift into a variety of forms, including that of humans, monsters, and other cats.
• Re-Animation | Bakeneko possess the uncanny ability to bring corpses back to life and use them as puppets.
• Ghost Fire | Cats have the ability to summon and use a ghostly fire for protection, misdeeds, or fighting.
• Poison Resistance | Once they have grown enough, Bakeneko find themselves resistance to many kinds of poisonous and toxic substances.
• Feline Agility | Bakeneko are fast creatures, and as such have +3 to their Speed Aspect.
• Nekomata | Nekomata are much more malevolent, but not necessarily stronger varieties of Bakeneko. Oftentimes, Nekomata have grown to exponential sizes and have the ability to enslave and blackmail the minds of weaker creatures (NPC use only. OOC permission required for use on other players.)
• Kasha | Kasha are the most malevolent sort of cat yokai. Once a Nekomata has grown further and become more malevolent, they will transform into a monstrous version of themselves with a never-ending hunger for flesh. Kasha control not only ghost fire, but hell fire, as well as lightning.

Flaws:
• Bakeneko shapeshifting is far from perfect. They cannot hold shapes for too long and often will display their physical feline attributes if a single transformation gets exhausted.
• Known to be cursed beings, Bakeneko often find themselves persecuted and killed off in many cultures for their innate malevolence.
• The malevolence and size of Nekomata makes their social and academic lives difficult. If they have exhausted their shapeshifting, their large true form will not fit inside small rooms. Additionally, they hunger for humans and other creatures regularly. Kasha find shapeshifting very exhaustive and have a never-ending hunger for flesh and destruction.

CELESTIAL TIGER

Name of Species: Celestial Tiger

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Depending upon the biological gender of a particular member of this species group, the average height and weight classes of any given Celestial Beast could vary vastly, and perhaps even exceed the average limits by a reasonable amount in the case of some; each measurement being influences by the particular form that any single Beast may assume at a given time, as well, in addition to the represented animal. They reserve the ability to shift between human and feral forms alike, and both follow the general, following builds.

(Human) || While this may not necessarily be the case in some Celestial Tigers, many males often boast a generally strengthened build at a stature of anywhere between 5'8" (~172-173 cm) to 6'3" (~190-191 cm), and weigh anywhere between 150 lbs (~68 kg) to 200 lbs (~90-91 kg) on average, and at a baseline; not necessarily accounting for any excess physical routines that a given Celestial Tigers may hold themselves within in order to maintain personal health. On the other hand, females often stand anywhere between 5'5" (~165 cm) to 6'0" (~182-183 cm) on average, and often weigh somewhere between 145 lbs (~65-66 kg) to 180 lbs (~81-82 kg). Regardless of gender, the physical build of most is generally toned, and has muscle and weight distributed evenly between bodily proportions, but these frames of reference aren't necessarily seen in every single Celestial Tiger altogether, and there are quite a few that have been recorded to be beneath the average height, above the average height, or perhaps even underweight or out of shape, among other possibilities.

(Tiger) || Within tiger form, Celestial Tigers boast the builds of standard tigers for the most part, though are set apart with a much more beastly and fierce look about them due to being a form of demon, alongside being generally larger than the average tiger. Generally, males maintain an average shoulder height of 9 feet (~274 cm), as well as a length from nose to tail tip of 14 feet (~426-427 cm) on average; all while weighing a common average of approximately 1200 lbs (~544 kg). Females are often smaller at an an average shoulder height of 7 feet (~213 cm), a length from nose to tail tip of 12 feet (~365-366 cm), and a weight average of 1000 lbs (~453-454 kg). Compared to the common tigers, those of the Celestial variation are much larger than their own gender counterparts, and host a much bulkier and strengthened build in muscle structure. However, much like their human forms, the feral forms of Celestial Tigers are subjective, and could be smaller then predicted, or perhaps have a different fat-to-muscle ratio. In any case, though, those of this species boast some form of augmented strength.

Baseline Appearance: Due to their more substantial influence, as well as their more specified features in terms of lore and background, Celestial Tigers are known to host a monochromatic theme as far as hair and fur colors and patterns go. The appearances are as they follow below.

(Human) || Regardless of gender, a Celestial Tiger will either have hair of a snowy white color, or a solid black, with leeway of natural streaks of the remaining color in either case. In addition, the eyes are often strictly some shade of blue, though there are rare cases in which the eye color altogether could potentially differ. Alongside this, their physical builds are commonly athletic and toned - as stated above - though aren't necessarily limited to this, and different builds are still possible within either gender. Both genders are often likely to host a pair of white tiger ears atop their head, as well as a tail to match it. They retain the ability to hide these traits for sake of blending in with the populus, however.

(Tiger) || As far as pelt coloring and patterns go, Celestial Tigers would maintain an appearance that is more or less similar to the common albino tiger. However, their builds drastically emphasize their muscles in addition to their size, and if anything, they look drastically more feral in comparison to common tigers. Their pelts often grow slightly longer than other tigers, and their builds are more chiseled and defined, rather than taking on the common tiger's more rotund form. Alongside this, their general features tend to be significantly more bestial to the point where they would be considered more of a demon or a monster over a mere animal- and such a thing would be reasonable to think, as those of this specimen are, in fact, considered to be a yokai all in all.

Culture/Origin of Species: Hisakawa legends state that there had been beasts born of stars sent from the heavens above to save the realm from reckoning.

The skies and the heavens all the same have been a keen detail of reference for many, and according to a particular speck of lore, it was said that - far within the past - demons of many forms and classes had threatened the hierarchy of the pre-modern bounds of Hisakawa; enough to the point where villages were told to have been brought havoc upon, and obliterated without a trace- save for the supposed curses left within their trails as a means of staking their claims, marking their territory, and awaiting the preceding arrivals of any unfortunate or adventurous souls to cross their lands with the intent of claiming their souls as their next meals and forms of sustenance. Eventually, the losses had grown more and more; imbuing fear within the people across the nation, and causing much unease as person after person - and soon, village after village - had fallen to the wrath of the oni traversing through their homeland. Chaos ensued within a means of panic and desperation; leaving many to do naught more than cling to seemingly false hopes, and to wish upon the stars and the gods above to have mercy upon their souls.

...And one day, their wishes and pleads seemed to be heard.

Legend has it that the blessing of the beasts had been born of the wish of a man with naught more than his young son; a plead to his beliefs as a passing star streaked across the skies that witnessed the loss of his wife and other children to the wrath of the oni. As if it heard his lingering anguish from not only the loss of his beloved and kindred, but the rest of his village, as well, the skies remained silent and dormant for but a few moments before one star within each direction of the sky that evening pulsed within differing hues, yet ones that shone in brilliance all the same; the northern star seemingly radiating a form of blackened, dark matter strong enough to overcome the stars surrounding it, the eastern star shining a piercing hue of azure, the western star boasting an extensive and brighter range of ivory with a smaller, light blue core pulsating from its center, and finally, the southern star pulsating and burning brightly within a magnificent crimson.

They each continued their pulses within the skies for a small while; growing more intense and violent as time went on as if communicating with one another, but soon enough, they each shot across the skies towards different areas of the realm. Each fell from the heavens within a blaze of glory, and although the man hadn't quite witnessed the outcome of their arrivals, the truth of the matter was that each star took the form of differing animals upon arrival. The northern star took the form of a black tortoise, and swept the oni near its landing away with a seeming tidal wave. The southern star took the form of a glorious and brilliant phoenix of crimson, and cleansed the oni within its area within a blaze of holy flame. The western star took the form of a bestial, white tiger, and smited its foes down with both air the air at its beck and call, and the sturdiness of its seemingly augmented and natural, metallic attributes. The eastern star took the form of a mighty dragon with scales of azure; utilizing the winds at its command, as well, though also manipulating the energies native to it and using the forces of lightning to rid of its enemies. For a great while, each beast clashed with the oni as they gathered within their respective lands; causing a myriad of chaos within the skies above them as a symbol of their warring. Eventually, the coming of a fifth body became apparent as the battles raged onwards, and within a final pulse of brilliance, a fifth star pulsated brightly within the skies before falling from the heavens. With its arrival, a flash of golden light is said to have enveloped the nearby lands with a frightening, yet awe inspiring roar as the vague outline of a larger, golden dragon blared for but a moment within its own light. It swirled within the skies before emitting another, violent glow from its radiant body within the skies above.

...And then all was peaceful.

By the time the flash of golden had disappeared, all was silent. The skies were normal once more, and free of the constant flashing of elements previously dancing across them. Traces of the reckoning had still remained as a symbol of the violence that had occurred, but the air had shifted. Safety was ensured, and soon enough, talk of the rumored beasts by supposed witnesses had spread throughout the lands over the next several moons.

The fifth beast is said to have ascended immediately after lending its aid to its companions, though the remaining four scoured the lands in search of worthy individuals; bestowing their dormant blessings of power and tribute upon select families and individuals who had survived the reckoning; the man who had made the wish altogether being one of them. Among the four beasts, it had been the white tiger that had visited the man and his mourning son within the aftermath; promising the power of his own being - much like how he had done with several before him, and much like his companions had done with others - upon him, his son, and the incoming generations of his family afterwards.

The white tiger bestowed a phrase upon them that the phoenix, tortoise, and dragon all the same delivered their own, eventual patriarchs and matriarchs upon visiting.

"To thee, I bestow my power, soul, and guidance upon. Mine fury is thine own- though only within the midst of a reckoning yet fierce shall it come to light."

To this day, this quote had been perceived to be in relation to the war; the 'reckoning' in questioning being the war itself, and the mutations of the citizens being the fulfilled prophecies that the beasts of lore had promised to their successors in due time. As such, those titled Celestial Tiger are said to have their own attributes as a tribute to the very tiger of lore that had bestowed his first blessings upon the wish maker and his son.

Traits:
•Beastly Might || Those blessed to be known as a Celestial Tiger boast an intense degree of strength. Characters are given +2 Strength.
•Heightened Senses || Much like the predator that the White Tiger himself had been a more majestic allusion of, characters are enabled higher senses of sight, smell, and hearing, alongside other senses and behaviors that would befit a tiger.
•Night Vision || Due to being blessed by a creature that alludes a more nocturnal predator, Celestial Tigers are known to have substantially better sight within the dark in comparison to others.
•Autumn Influence || As an allusion to the White Tiger's own powers of lore - as well as his representation of autumn, as a lesser detail - characters are enabled the power of air manipulation.
•Blessing of Metal || As a result of the White Tiger's influence of metal, Celestial Tigers share the same influence. Characters gain +1 Vitality to pay proper tribute to the sturdiness of the element.
•Celestial Body || A Celestial Tiger is often augmented during the evening, when the constellation of the White Tiger is visible, in order to allude closer to the figure of lore. Reflexes and the like are more likely to be augmented during this time.

Flaws:
•Nocturnal || Due to taking after a creature more accustomed to nocturnal tendencies, Celestial Tigers have been known to hold more activity within the later hours of the day, and are more prone to tiredness and the like during the day.
•Feral Instincts || Being the most primal of the other celestial beasts, characters will likely host more feral tendencies; be it something as small to growling in response to a threat out of instinct, or perhaps even giving into hunter or seasonal influences that other animals of the sort would likely experience. Depending upon the person, these instincts may be harder to resist.
•Raging Soul || Much like the other beasts and their modern day Celestial species, characters will likely be prone to negativity as a result of the souls that compose the original beasts in their entirety. While they have three other souls that promote some form of positivity, the remaining soul - the Aramitama - is a powerful influence that is more than capable of overriding these souls in the face of excessive negativity and anguish. If a given Celestial Tiger is confronted with overwhelming emotions of negativity, they may fall prey to a blinding form of rage that causes them to lash and rampage until they tire, or are otherwise forcefully stopped, so it would do well for characters of this species to fortify their mentalities to prevent this, if possible.

CERNUN

Name of Species: Cernun

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Due to sexual dimorphism, or the differences between genders, the baseline is different.
In Males, the average height stands to be about 6ft 7inches minimum. Females stand at about 5ft on average. The average weight of a male is usually 150 kilos, mostly muscle mass while females average 59 kilos.

Baseline Appearance: Both male and female Cernuns have horns. Horns vary on their descent however, hence their name sake. Males are burly muscular men, with features like square chins, impressive jawlines and a lot of hair. Females are petite, pretty and well-endowed. Hair often takes a purplish color, though spots are also common on the skin and hair.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Male:

Female:

Culture/Origin of Species: Said to be created between the union of an extinct horned race and humans, the Cernun are well-known for their horned heads. Given their last name based on their horns is a common practice in Cernun society. For example a Goat horned Cernun would be named Liesl Goathorn while a Cow Horned Cernun would be named Liesl Cowhorn. Variations of the last name can be based on other languages or variations associating with the horn.
The race used to be nomadic, however due to changes in the world the race was forced to settle down to society. However it does not stop the Cernun from embracing practices in their culture, such as rituals and religious dances. The race believes the the entity known as The Horned One, who they believe granted the world life through the trees and animals, thus Cernuns are strictly vegan.

Traits:
• The most interesting of the Cernun is their affinity with Elemental magic, a trait that is believe to have been genetically passed on from the extinct race and empowered by humans. This allows most Cernun to magically control small amounts of the elements from a young age. However Cernuns usually dive into an aspect of elemental magic after their rite of passage.
• The Rite of Passge is both a ritual and an empowerment. The Cernun have a figure known as an Alder, and each element has a corresponding Alder. Every year a mass test begins in the outskirts of society where Cernun of age will attend. Upon completion, the Alder reawakens a locked power in the young Cernun to allow them to gain more control over an element of their choosing.
• Physically the Cernun are very strong, often men and women could lift weights many times their size naturally and they come stuffed full of stamina too. This trait means the Cernun can be very helpful when it comes to lifting loads.

Flaws:
• The Cernun care for their horns, and have an over compulsive urge to care for their horns when they are not concentrated on other things, though sometimes the urge may grow too strong to tolerate. Cernun who do not care for them tend to go into depression, and their elemental powers dwindle away slowly.

CHAOS WITCH

Name of Species: Chaos Witch

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Whatever dimensions the being is.

Baseline Appearance: Anything and everything. Though most witch families have a theme, may it be a certain animal or element acting as their mascot or crest. Meaning it's pretty easy to tell what witch comes from which family.

Culture/Origin of Species: Magic, in of itself, is chaotic. As something that goes against the entirety of the natural world it is unnatural in every way possible. It is unpredictable, limitless, powerful. So of course, as beings made entirely of pure magic, witches by definition are unnatural and chaotic. Well, at least a certain race of witches are. All witches crave chaos and misfortune, as it feeds into their utmost desires. Though some witches crave it more than most. These witches are appropriately called 'Chaos Witches'. They are witches who can't or refuse to conform to the world around them, which has ejected them from normal witch society. With nowhere to go these witches created their own society in the only place they could, right under everyone's noses. In another dimension. With dimensions being separate planes of existence sharing the same space but merely layered on top of each other this led to the perfect escape for these witches without traveling too far from home. However, this society they made is surely even more cruel than even Arka. It is based solely on power and wealth, where only the richest and more influential can survive in the vast and strange landscapes. Though since this race does nothing but crave destruction and chaos, it comes to no big surprise.

Traits:
• What they can learn and excel in is limitless as long as it has magical properties. As long as it's a spell they can learn and perform it.
• Weather is just as chaotic as magic itself. Because of it these witches grow more powerful in storms, even to godly levels.
• Due to their strong bloodlines Chaos Witches gain a +2 to Strength.
• In order to keep in fighting even past their breaking point Chaos Witches gain a +1 to Resilience.
• Chaos Witches are all immortal as long as their soul is not shattered.
• Instead of red blood Chaos Witches have black blood, which turns hard upon breaking the skin. This is used as a natural defense for them to block out the first few hits of a fight. After a couple of hits the blood will turn to liquid once again, though the blood is also a weapon and can be used to damage opponents with its dark and molding nature. The blood will turn solid again after a couple minutes of being liquid.
• Chaos Witches can sense anything with magical properties up to 3 miles away.
• Chaos Witches can suppress their magical presence, though this requires concentration and doing so for an extended time is draining.

Flaws:
• Healing is a big no-no for Chaos Witches, as they completely reject the idea of healing or holy properties. As such, if any one of their kind are seen excelling in the healing field they are instantly thought of as scum.
• Though they crave chaos, if they completely lose themselves to it they become nothing more than mindless slaves to their own will.
• Chaos Witches, though born with power, have to learn and memorize spells in order to use them.
• Most Chaos Witches are rather arrogant in nature due to seeing themselves as higher beings, which can lead to their own demise.

CHURCH GRIM

Name of Species: Church Grim

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Minimum two feet tall at shoulder, maximum eight feet tall. Average is generally 4-6 feet tall at the shoulder. Length varies.

Baseline Appearance: Church Grim are animals, typically dogs, and have black fur, almost any eye color, abnormally long and flowing tails, and white fangs. Their fur is shadow-like in nature and flows unnaturally with a black aura.

Culture/Origin of Species: As per tradition in some Skiagis cultures, the people of the church were to bury a dumb animal, usually a dog, alive for it to become the designated soul to protect and guard the graveyard. The rule was simple; the first being buried after the opening of the cemetery was fated to protect it for eternity. Their soul would remain alive and bound to the yard as they upheld the duty of protecting the cemetery from demons, gravediggers, trespassers with ill intent, and the like. The task was said to be from an ancient agreement with a god and was a sacred duty for an animal to uphold.

Traits:
• T'was a dark and stormy night - - Church Grim can attract dark, dreary, or stormy weather at will or sometimes against their will. They cannot directly control the weather, but attract such events to them.
• Faire Chlaidh, the graveyard watch - - Church Grim can walk invisible- unseen, unheard, untouched, and unscented at will.
• Under the cornerstone - - With a new form greatly changed and enhanced from their former, Church Grim have +1 to their Strength Aspect.
• Buried alive - - Having faced a mortal death once before, Church Grim do not age or die by natural causes, but simply fade away or eventually pass on. They have +2 to their Resilience Aspect.

Flaws:
• Omen of death - - Being representative and guard to cemeteries, Church Grim are rare to be seen in public and often are only known to be associated with death. As a result, they are often ostracized and cast out of communities, known as ones who bring an early demise to those they are around.
• Kilgrim Bridge - - Due to having been once tied strongly to land and duty, Church Grim hold an innate sense of loyalty that is more of a curse than a blessing. They become easily attached to people, places, and things, and if they are away from their cemetery or it has been destroyed, they will feel a constant void and depression within. If they become too loyal to one individual, they can be easily taken advantage of and used.

CRYO-PHOENIX

Name of Species: Cryo-Phoenix

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}{CLICK HERE for Appearance, Culture, and Origin}Baseline Dimension:
Human Form: Any height or weight is possible. It is possible to be aged anywhere from evolved just after the Ancient War to freshly born.

Phoenix Form: They are pretty big birds. Anywhere from eagle to larger than human size in the body, not counting wingspan.

Baseline Appearance:
Human Form: Due to the reintegration of this species back into the larger world of Skiagis, nearly any physical trait is possible. The only thing that sets them apart physically are their eyes, which are unusually vivid colors, and crazy feathers that stick out of their hair at molting season, which is usually once every month.

They can actually directly control how old their human form is that they shapeshift into depending on where they need to fit in. For instance, if a cryo-phoenix needs to go back to school to relearn things dulled by time, they can appear as children and teens once more. If they are in a position of power and need to seem wise to all races, they can assume a middle-aged or even elderly form. Rebirth affects human form as well. After hatching, they rapidly age from infant to whatever their desired age is. However, if they can only age up to the form appropriate to how many human years they've been alive. For example, if a cryo-phoenix dies as a young teen, they can only rapidly age back to that of the age they died at. If they've been alive hundreds of years, they can choose any age appearance.


Phoenix Form: Their eye color is constant regardless of form. While it is most common for phoenixes to have cooler hued color schemes such as blues, greens, and whites, other colors are possible as well.

Phoenix form age has little change after going from egg, to chick, to adult bird. Once a cry-phoenix’s body reaches adult form, this is the way it will stay for all of time, no matter how old. Upon death and rebirth, a phoenix turns to snow and forms back into an ice egg. Once reborn, there is brief period between hours and days that a cryo-phoenix once more grows up from chick.

Culture/Origin of Species:
After the Ancient War was through, a small sect of phoenixes rebelled and divorced from the rest of the phoenixes and everything they believe in, but managed to form some sort of treaty with the Phoenix Council so they wouldn't be hunted. Rejecting both the sun god they worshipped and any teaching from their leader, the group roosted in the isolation of Arka's frozen lands, as per the agreement. At first their natural heat kept them comfortable despite the brutal cold, but they very quickly adapted and evolved to their new environment and gave up their flames altogether. Cryo-Phoenixes were born, and as they became their own new species they ended their self-isolation to rejoin society.

Traits:
• Immortality: Cryo-Phoenixes can die, yes, but they are reborn in a snowy vortex that reveals an ice egg. They rise up from the ice and snow within hours. They have 3 points in vitality.
• Blizzard: Naturally attuned to ice, cryo-phoenixes are more adept with using the element to both harm and protect.
• Ice Eagle Eyes: Birds have some pretty impressive sight when it comes to range and distance. Don't expect to get much past them.
• Partial Shape Shifting: Due to being immortal and having a high vitality, cry-phoenixes have control over their natural shapeshifting allowing them to partially shift.

Flaws:
• Molting: Molting happens about once a month, and renders a cryo-phoenix exhausted and lazy. It's almost like an illness such as a cold, where they will appear less than healthy and cough little puffs of frosty air. This lasts anywhere from 1 to 4 days, but robs them of their ice and snow until they flash freeze the molting away.
• Heat Stroke: Being too hot for an extended amount of time will sap their strength.

CURSED DOLL

Name of Species: Cursed Doll

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Varying sizes based on the body. Average sizes between 2 ft and 4 ft tall

Baseline Appearance: Eye color and hair color always can vary based on doll's appearance. Skin color is normally porcelain white though they too can vary. Normally, the doll has ball sockets for their joints, but that could vary based around the "type" of doll.

Culture/Origin of Species: A handful of tradecrafted
doll makers all around multiple worlds have found ways to force the souls of living beings within the boy of an empty doll, giving life to it in return for the inability of some normal aspects. These dolls are able to hold previously stored talents or even those types of which can keep the talent of a soul that inhabits the doll's body. How one comes to be a Cursed Doll varies from person to person.

Traits:
•Immortal Porcelain: The user cannot die through means of time or simply being broken. If such condition occurs, the users body becomes "recrafted" to a form mirroring their current appearance. This does not mean they cannot be beaten, just another form of a reincarnation
•Fake Senses: The doll cannot sustain permanent conditions such as blindness or becoming deaf due to having artificial eyes and ears.
•Tough Porcelain: Due to a particularly hardened porcelain used to craft this doll, Resistance goes up by 1.
•Hidden Ability: With the inner curse of the doll, Intelligence is increased by 2.
•Sated: As a doll, the need for food and drink is null and void. Eating and drinking is simply a voluntary action.

Flaws:
•Lack of touch: As a Cursed Doll, the person will experience the loss of her sense of touch and feeling. This does not include the sense of taste.
•Hollow Body: With no muscular system, the Strength of the character is lowered by 2.
•Fragile Object: The material used to make porcelain causes the body to be broken much easier, lowering Vitality by 2.
•Ageless: With no ability to age, the Doll is unable to grow in size, grow older, or mature in any way but mentally.

CYBERNETIC CLONE

Name of Species: Cybernetic Clone

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Clones are made to look virtually identical to average humans and in most cases age like them as well, though generally they are much more healthy.

Baseline Appearance: Generally clones are meant to blend in with the average human in nearly every way, but are open to quirky customizations. Between scientists being able to tweak DNA and adding cybernetic upgrades to meld with human flesh in the cloning process, clones can be as average as the girl next door to a hulking man with visible circuits in the skin that glow and mechanical camera lens-like eyes. For the most part a clone is just where a human body is created and enhanced by science and technology in a variety of ways.

Culture/Origin of Species: Beginning as an effort to breed the perfect soldier for the Mistere military, in the last forty years cybernetic cloning has become more widely accepted and has earned its place as one of the newest recognized species. There was a time when said clones were frowned upon in society as unnatural abominations with no souls, but that belief is nowhere near as prevalent as it once was. While there are still scientists out there that may have less than altruistic intentions in the cybernetic clone field, just as many are good souls trying to solve problems the best way they know how.
First generation clones themselves are an obedient and task driven species, often developed en masse fully grown in a lab and then intensely trained and educated to fulfill their purposes. This doesn't leave much time for exploring the complicated subject of feelings, often leaving them emotionally stunted. They are highly intelligent and book smart, but often lack "common sense" and the subtle nuances of humanity. By the time they are released from the lab they can function in the world, albeit a bit awkwardly until they develop their more human natures out among other humans.
Many clones have started families, leading to second generation 'clones' and hybrids. While the offspring might not be a clone by definition, the altered DNA and organic cybernetics of one or both parents can be passed on genetically. Children may not have the same emotional hardships first generation clones have depending on how they are raised, but they will still likely retain a task oriented, helpful attitude.

Traits:
• Harder: Created with near perfect bodies cybernetically enhanced, their skin contains a mesh like component that make them tougher to damage. They get +1 to resilience aspect.
• Better: Inherently good with technology of all types.
• Faster: Created with near perfect bodies cybernetically enhanced and trained, they operate at peak speeds. They get +1 to speed aspect.
• Stronger: Created with near perfect bodies cybernetically enhanced and trained, they hit harder and are able to lift heavier things. They get +1 to strength aspect.

Flaws:
• If You say Gullible Slowly, It Sounds Like Orange: Yes, very gullible.
• Programmable: Most clones were made with a purpose in mind, and scientists wish for them to be loyal and obedient either on their own or by force. This also means through various methods, their primary directives can be altered by others.

CYBORG

Name of Species: Cyborg

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Usually whatever height the being was before machinery was added to them, though they process may have made them a little taller or shorter. Weight can vary, but because of the weight of their implants it's usually pretty high (300-600 pounds average depending how much of them is machinery).


Baseline Appearance: Pretty normal except for the parts of their body that are mechanical. Cyborgs vary, and some tend to blend their machinery in with their skin as best as they can, or some don't. Normally their eyes glow with an unnatural light.


Culture/Origin of Species: A cyborg is created when a living being's body is replaced with mechanical parts, may it be due to a freak accident or wanting to enhance their body. They are still living, but live in a robotic shell.

Traits:
• Due to a cyborg's protective robotic layer they gain a +1 to resilience.
• With an enhanced brain cyborgs are usually pretty smart, and can consume knowledge at an incredible rate. They can remember anything they see or hear and be able to recall it in a split second.
• Because of their enhanced muscles they gain a +1 to strength.
• A cyborg is built to last longer, and therefore gains a +1 to vitality.
• Due to also having some of their inner parts replaced cyborgs can go three times as long as humans without needing air or food.
• Having their blood mixed with chemicals a cyborg's blood is not normally red, but some other color due to the nanomachines circulating their bloodstream. Nanomachines cause wounds to be healed faster, within a couple of seconds to a couple of minutes depending on the severity. They can also prevent illness, broken bones, and severed limbs.
• Cyborgs have special and enhanced eyesight. They can see up to 1 mile away while also having night vision, heat vision, scanner vision, and are capable of using their eyes as a flashlight for others.

Flaws:
• Magnets/magnetic fields are very dangerous to Cyborgs. They can cause their robotic parts to malfunction and even damage them.
• Unlike what people may think a cyborg does not care much for water, with technology advancing they have found ways of preventing it from short circuiting their system. What the problem is, however, is rust. If a cyborg's parts remain submerged in water for too long the metal begins to rust. A proper cleaning after entering water is needed to prevent it.
• Cyborgs are not known for stealth, as their robotic parts can cause some noise.

DAEMON

Name of Species: Daemon

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Size varies depending on the form a Daemon takes.

Baseline Appearance: Daemons can take a number of forms, from that of monsters, to animals and beasts, to humans in their home dimension and in dreams. In the physical plane, they take the appearance of whatever being they are possessing or bound to.

Culture/Origin of Species:
Overview:
A Daemon, generally speaking, is a being that was usually once alive, but has remained dead and in the afterlife for so long that death became their life. They can be any kind of spirit, typically, but have lived to the point where they begin to consume souls, who then become a part of them. The more souls they consume, the more powerful the spirit becomes, as it starts to take on characteristics in regions such as appearance, powers, and even personality. As such, a being who has begun to eat souls in this manner has become a Daemon, and therefore must 'balance' what they choose to devour. Consume too many demons or tainted souls? Become one. Consume too many angels or holy souls? Become one. The same goes for neutral souls or specific ones.

What makes the Daemons unique is the fact that their own personality can begin to become blurred the more they devour. They take on characteristics from other souls, though a single strong soul's personality can potentially become the dominant mind of the Daemon. This is why balancing is so important, and is also why weaker Daemons typically leave strong personalities and souls alone.

Behavior:
Death is their life, but how does one grow stronger? Daemons are beings with little to no influence or touch on the physical realm; most of them hardly care or even think about mortal affairs in their daily lives. As such, any Daemon who somehow touches or appears on the physical world is incredibly weak, and often susceptible to any dangers that could befall them. Daemons live on the Third Astral Plane, and even are weak if they manage to visit the Second Astral Plane of the deceased.

A Daemon's main strength is its nearly limitless potential for growth and gaining power. This is what a Daemon's true desire is- to grow stronger. It is a difficult goal that few Daemons every reach and fulfill, however, as they can easily be killed and eradicated by other spirit beings, destroyed by strong mortals with spiritual powers, or even end their own lives as Daemons by not balancing what they consume.
Should the latter happen, they will completely become what they have eaten, be it a demon, some holy being, or just a humble former-mortal spirit. Sometimes if this happens, they could still possibly retain their soul-consuming capabilities, but must 'restart'. By this point, the chances of them ever reaching their full potential are low.

Properly balancing the consumption of souls in a stable and steady manner can make a Daemon become a truly ambiguous creature, but alarmingly powerful, as they retain most of the abilities and strengths of what they have absorbed. A skilled Daemon is able to counter a certain consumed soul's weakness by absorbing something else that properly balances it and patches the weakness, without cancelling out any strengths. Being clever, smart, strategic, and calculating is how a Daemon truly becomes powerful, but most are unfortunately blinded by the promise of power, and make poor and hasty decisions.

Contracts:
A Daemon who has at least a fairly balanced 'diet' eventually has to find a way to leave the Third Astral Plane - The Spiritual World, in order to move down in the tiers to the Afterlife Planes, and eventually the Physical Realm. The easiest way to make this leap is by gathering enough strength to make a brief appearance to once chosen individual on the plane directly below. A completed contract results in the Daemon freely being able to either take, control, or consume the contractor's soul. If on the Physical Realm, they may take their body as their own; possession. The mechanic to these contracts include a Daemon placing a "claim" on a soul. This Claim is like a supernatural bond connecting the contractee and the Daemon. Once the terms of a contract are met, or if a contractee dies, its soul finds its way to the Daemon, and not to any sort of afterlife or void.

Contracting with Spirits
Generally, Daemons gather enough power to move to the Second Astral Plane - The Afterlife, in order to seek out a spirit looking to reincarnate. The Daemon may create a contract with the knowledge and consent of the contractee, or they may do it discreetly, with no formal appearance made to the contractee. Consent is not required, either. The spirit looking to reincarnate usually is returning to the Physical Realm for a reason; perhaps unfinished business, or a wish they want granted. Traditionally, the spirit may reincarnate under one of the Seven Heavenly Virtues or Seven Deadly Sins, for which you may read more about below. Other contracts can be formed with consent should the Daemon promise to grant a wish in life. The spirit must be specific with the extent of their wish; else the Daemon may twist the contract as they please.

For example, if a spirit wants to be reincarnated for social power, but does not declare to what extent, the Daemon may ensure that they are born into power, such as royalty. The instant they are born, the contract has been completed, and the Daemon may take/banish/consume their soul, whichever they wish to do, and possess the reincarnate's body.

Contracting with Mortals
If a strong Daemon eventually gets a tight hold in the First Astral Plane - The Physical Realm, they may contract freely with mortals and other various spirits they encounter. This type of contract is usually not for possession, but is to simply have an easier time gathering souls to feed on. Strong souls are nearly impossible to hunt or catch alone, but if a Daemon has a contract with one, the strong soul's fate is sealed; they will belong to the Daemon.

Often, the easiest way a Daemon will contract with a mortal is by once again offering to grant a wish, such as helping the mortal get revenge, destroy an enemy, complete a goal, etc. Once the goal is completed, the Daemon has complete ownership of the soul. Another type of contract is the promise of physical power, such as giving abilities. This usually is given from the Claim itself, as the Daemon lends use of one or more of its abilities to the person it is contracting with. In these types of contracts, the Daemon might not necessarily go for the soul right then, but perhaps ask for something in return, such as loyalty, servitude, or some sort of physical thing, even. Contracts like these often can be made for fun by Daemon, who are often sadistic by nature and enjoy watching the powers and Claim begin to potentially corrupt or despair the contractee.

These are the various ways that Daemons can contract, but just like the Daemon and their potential, contracts may be versatile. A strong Daemon may develop its own type of contract, or preferences in how they go about doing it. Some Daemons manage just fine without contracts, even though it generally is a harder path to take.

Sins & Virtues:
As stated before in creating contracts with spirits, one of the ways to contract includes having the contractee reincarnate under one of the Seven Heavenly Virtues or Seven Deadly Sins. This simply means that the reason or goal the reincarnate has falls under the category of a sin or virtue. Are they reincarnating for revenge? Wrath. For power? Greed. To prove themselves over somebody? Envy. To have a second chance at something? Diligence or Kindness, etc.

A Daemon may target a specific sin or virtue in their contractors to prey off of- often one that they find easiest to see the contract to a close. Should a Daemon rely on one main sin or virtue only for their contracts, they are often referred to as a 'Daemon of Sin/Virtue', such as a Daemon of Pride, Daemon of Patience, etc.

A unique thing about Sin/Virtue contracts is the fact that many times, a Daemon need not make its presence known to their contractor. They set the claim, and the reincarnate may live its entire time in the world with no knowledge of the Daemon stalking its steps. Often times, when this is done, the Daemon has set the terms on their own, and forces them onto the contractor with the Claim. Sometimes, the terms can be excruciatingly simple, such as fulfilling an act of Kindness, or perhaps falling to Lust, etc. The instant the Claimed one has met the terms, the Daemon has complete right and ownership to their soul, and typically devours the soul, kills the spirit, and possesses the body.

Naturally, any Daemon must be careful with their contracts, and choose their Claims carefully. Should a Daemon Claim too strong of a soul or personality, the soul may be able to ignore/stop or change the terms, or even break the contract.

Traits:
• Daemons have an almost unlimited potential for growth. As such, their stamina is increased by +3.
• Daemons have the ability to consume souls and gain their powers. This is generally a trait for plot flavor, but some gained powers may be registered as Talents.
• Daemons can walk in the dreams of others.
• Daemons have an innate ability known as 'The Sight', which allows them to see spirits, souls, ghosts, and those who walk unseen. With permission, they may see memories or emotions.
• With a great burst of effort and often a contract or body needed for anchorage, Daemons may hop around dimensions, from spiritual to physical.
• Upon reaching the end of a contract with someone or by using a great amount of force, Daemons may choose to possess a mind or being in order to stay anchored to reality. Doing this takes a great amount of energy.

Flaws:
• If they do not properly balance the nature of those they consume, a Daemon may lose its personality, sense of identity, or label as a Daemon.
• Daemons are naturally weak beings upon first reincarnating or when outside of their home dimension. They often become confused and have a hard time adapting. Dimension hopping is especially tricky and taxing.
• Being massive, smoothly-mixed culminations of souls, Daemons that have found a host or form to take in the physical realm won't retain all of their memories at once. It will take a while for the bulk of their memories to filter in due to the limited capacity of a mortal brain.[/font][/font][/spoiler]

DEMONS (TRADITIONAL)

Name of Species: Demons

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Varies depending on demon.

Baseline Appearance: Not all demons are humanoid, whilst like all species they have the ability to shapeshift into a human many in their natural forms are horrific beasts, each demon varies, many bear physical appearance traits of the religion that they were cursed from.

Culture/Origin of Species: Demons are an entire species of their own, humans who had turned dark, the evil inside them. Over hundreds of years these humans had lost so much, fallen so far into their despair, that the dark evils of their religions crept up in the darkness, cursing them with traits.

Traits:
• Demons have an affinity for religious or dark talents, however they can use many types of talents.
• Demons are predators, latching onto a prey and hunting it down, tormenting and traumatizing this is their natural instinct. Which has lead to them having +3 stamina aspect.
• During the night and when surrounded by negativity they grow in power, demons have an enhanced sense of smell and are able to see during the night.
• Demons are not influenced by natural illness, or rather when they contract  sickness a demon will grow in power and many will use themselves to spread the misfortune.

Flaws:
• Demons are widely hated, both within their own religions and with other creatures.
• Unless a demon has a talent, they cannot hide their demonic energy even in human form. It influences the world for a few foot around them causing a shadow to fall across the area, as if the sun was blocked.

DHAMPIR

Name of Species:Dhampir


Traits:
•Dhampirs age at a much quicker rate than humans, reaching maturity at 18 years where their aging slows considerably. They normally live up to 150 years or more.
• Compared to other species Dhampirs can go a very long time without consuming anything due their metabolism being very slow causing extremely slow, burning food of food or blood.
• Being half human allows them to shapeshift into more forms than their vampiric blood such as mist, bats, or wolves.
• Being half human Dhampir have a natural affinity for magic based on the basic elements, nature, electricity, fire, earth, water, air and metal. This gives them strength when using the elements and resistance against them. From these elements Dhampirs naturally have 3 resilience aspect points.

Flaws:
• Dhampirs are night creatures and as a result become very lazy, lethargic, or sleepy during the day time hours.
• Since they are neither human nor vampire, they are typically shunned by vampires who do not accept their mixed blood and are feared by humans who are paranoid they may get bitten.

DRACONIAN

Name of Species: Draconian

Baseline Dimension: Draconians appear to look like regular humans, with some draconic elements mixed in. The draconians are normally taller than the average  human, but share some similar traits. Such as their hair and body parts and skin tones.


Baseline Appearance: Draconians are known for their large horns, wings, and tails. These aspects set them apart from the rest of the populace, and make them easy to identify. Their horns are normally a variety of different shapes, and extend from their skulls. Their tails and wings are normally very large however, and can be lined with spinal scales and sharp hooks. Draconians are also known to grow patches of dragon scale across different parts of their bodies. Normally around their cheeks and, and the ends of each limbs. Mainly the wrists and ankles. These scales can be any color, and the same rules apply to the eyes of each Draconian. However, each draconian shares the black outer sclera, with white pupils.



Culture/Origin of Species: Draconinans don't really share an origin or culture, for the case of each individual is different. One thing is similar, though. Each draconian was once a full fledged four legged dragon. Through magical means the dragon was transformed into a Draconian, a human-draco hybrid. The case is different for each Draconian, but the classification is still the same. Some were cursed, others willingly transformed... And some were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.


Traits:

• FLIGHT: Draconians all come equipped with a large pair of dragon wings upon their backs. These wings are so large they're capable of lifting their host off the ground and allow them to soar through the air.

• ELEMENTAL RESISTANCE: Depending on what type of Dragon the Draconian was prior, they will still share the resistance they had before. If the Draconian was once a fire breathing dragon who was impervious to flame, that factor is still present in their transformed body.

Flaws:

• THE BLIGHT Unfortunately transforming into a lesser form has costed the Draconians a piece of their soul. All Draconians are plagued with a sickness only known as "The Blight". The Blight is a draconian exclusive cancer that slowly seeps into the indiviual's body, growing stronger with time. Eventually all Draconians succumb to its effects and will experience fits of hysteria and insanity. At the end of the Blight's cycle, the Draconian will have also transformed into a much different looking individual. The scales they once had only on their face and limbs will have spread to cover their entire body, and their horns will have grown to double their length. They will also experience a growth spurt, making them much taller. This may sound like a boon, but by this stage the Draconian will have reverted to a primal predator instinct, and will no longer have any control of themselves. Shortly before the sickness finally kills them, they will hunger for any living flesh around them, and are incapable of seeing reason or emotion...

DRYAD (IHPEIHPE TREE NYMPH)

Name of Species: Dryad (Ihpeihpe Tree Nymph)

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Anywhere from 1ft to over 50ft, typically the more mobile ones (and those that are seen more often in Mistere society) are usually under 10ft.

Baseline Appearance: They’re humanoid in appearance. Kind of. Their skin is made of a thick bark, and their hair is made of a combinations of leaves and flowers. They’re almost completely androgynous, with the only difference between sexes being that one produces pollen (male), and the other produces fruit (female). They have facial features, yes, a mouth, two eyes, and a nose, but their mouths are only used for consuming water for use in photosynthesis. Dryads can live for upwards of a century. As they live, they continuously grow, about half a foot a year with a little wiggle room. After rooting, their arms and legs fuse together and they become completely plant-like, like a real tree. Their skin most commonly resembles the bark of an oak tree, but can resemble any tree, like birch or ash. Males produce large, extremely flowers while females produce small, almost colorless flowers that develop into fruit. They most commonly produce apples, but those bearing pears, peaches, lemons, etc. are not unknown either.

Culture/Origin of Species: Their culture is somewhat twisted. Small groves of elder dryads live together, stuck in place, glued to the ground in a process called “rooting”. They produce seeds in their fruit that grow into normal trees. Only after a magical rite, the seeds enchanted with sentience, and then, after planted grow a new dryad. Those new dryads that are under 10 feet are referred to as “saplings” and are send out to mingle with saplings from different groves and create their own. Dryad groves are beautiful, fertile forests that support expansive ecosystems. Over the playful conversations of rooted Dryads overhead, animal life wanders about and plants prosper.

Traits:
• Thick Resin: Their thick bark skin gives any Dryad +3 to their resilience.
• Chloroplasts!: Dryads don’t need to eat or sleep. As long as they can breathe, have access to water, and can soak up some sunlight, they will be fine.

Flaws:
• Incompatible: Due to their unique form of reproduction, they cannot make half-breeds or be part of a hybrid being.

DJINN

Name of Species: Djinn

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Djinn are beings made from flameless smoke and have no actual dimensions. They appear as they wish.
Baseline Appearance: Djinn prefer to appear in the form of dark-skinned humans, with animal features. While they are capable of taking other shapes and forms the majority stick to one specific look.

Culture/Origin of Species: An ancient species Djinn have been around since the dawn of creation. The keeper of wishes and dreams. Djinn have been making wishes come true as far back as their history go. Djinn came into being when creatures first learned to think. They are born like regular humans and grow old, albeit at a slower rate. While djinn die from granting too many wishes. A djinn gains more magic and a sense of euphoria when granting a wish. Djinn are generally divided into 6 clans 3 good and 3 evil.
The Jinn, the Jann, and the Marid are the three good clans. They guard over the good wishes and joys in the universe. The Ifrit, the Ghul, and Shaitan are the evil tribes. They bend wishes and hopes to the darkest that can be done. It has been said that the three evil tribes were the original cause of demons.

Traits:
• Bigger on the inside: Djinn can create spaces that they can control. The area has to be inside a container no larger than a baseball. Djinn commonly used the created space as a room. Depending on how powerful they are, a djinn could even create a country inside the space of a hollow pendant. The laws inside a given room can be different based on how the djinn created it.
• Smoke Teleportation: Djinn can turn themselves, objects, and willing beings into smoke at will to move between spaces and realms. Djinn use this to travel between lamps and even dreams.
• Wish Granting: A power that all djinn have and try to avoid using. In exchange for some of their life force, a djinn has the power to grant wishes. The larger and more complex the wish, the more life force the djinn uses.
• Longevity: Djinn age at a prolonged rate compared to most species. A djinn living for 600 years is not uncommon. A djinn spending time in a lamp can live indefinitely as time does not pass inside.
• Shapeshifting: While preferring to keep a set form. Djinn can change shape based on their whim. As beings of unset dimensions, they are not limited in what they can shapeshift into.
• Rapid healing: A djinn’s body is just a physical manifestation of their smoke. As it is not real it is easier to repair djinn gain +1 in vitality

Flaws:
• A djinn always has a strong smell of smoke on them. Depending on the djinn their specific smell can be anything from a flavorful woodsmoke to a pile of burning garbage.
• Enslavement: All djinn have a primary lamp that keeps the majority of their essence. If the lamp breaks a djinn goes into a coma in the best case scenario. Beings tend to keep a lamp away from the djinn to control them.
• The cold: Djinn not only prefer heat they find it necessary. Djinn slow down in cold temperatures and are unable to use their djinn powers if they are too cold. While they would not die from being frozen it is a very torturous experience, and it keeps them from healing.

Wings and horns are usually present, but are not a mandatory feature.

Human Form:
Some may take on extra dragon traits in their human form, such as having horns, wings or claws present, but many choose to simply look like normal humans.

Culture/Origin of Species:
Unlike the more known species of Dragons, those of which fly around and terrorize others with their flaming breaths, or any other similar means, Ancient Dragons are, and always have been, a lot less prominent. Larger than normal Dragons, as well as less eager for action, they have often been known as the nature guardians of the Dragon race, who lived primarily in solitude, and did not mess with others without reason.
They are not a very populous species, keeping to themselves even among their own, preferring to not be lumped in with their more overzealous, power and treasure hoarding relatives. It isn’t known as to when these bulky giants came to be, but they have been known to be the ones to keep the balance among other dragon species, as well as those that would dare interfere.

• Some dragons are able to change their size, however they cannot go smaller than 10 ft and this change can only happen twice a day due to requiring a lot of energy

Flaws:
• Need a Nap: They are not the most active and energetic beings, more of a lethargic large lizard, if nothing else. Very often tired, and tend to be found sleeping or lazing about a lot.
• Low Noise Tolerance: More solitary in nature, these dragons have a tendency to highly dislike loud sounds, and may recoil from such, or even get pissed if forced to endure loud environments.
• It can take more training for some dragons to be able to control their size

Most of them have long fish-like whiskers in the sides of their snouts. Two ramified horns adorn their head, their form variates from dragon to dragon. Most of them have four short legs which end with eagle-like talons. Lastly, they have a dorsal mane that comes from their head up to the tail tip. Their size variates depending on the subspecies the individual belongs to. In terms of length, they can be found between 5 to 50ft long. And in the weight, this dragon is surprisingly light for their size. 330(smallest subspecies) to 1763(largest subspecies)

Baseline Appearance:

Culture/Origin of Species: The eastern dragon is a very old dragon species. Being around the earth from over one thousand years. And at the beginning, there was only one type of this species. But as the environment slowly changed. From this unique branch, more started to break apart creating the several sub-species that are believed to exists. Their culture is a mystery as there is little information about how their costumes and myths are about. But the few things known of them, are that they are mainly pacific and doesn't mess with other creatures. Unless they mess with them first.

TWILIGHT DRAGONS

Name of Species: Twilight Dragons

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: With most of the twilight dragons having mysterious gone or left from their homeland, and during this time the biggest of them were roughly the size of a three story house and about as long as a olympic swimming pool, weighing roughly it is hard to find a dragon of that size in this day and age. With the eldest of them being only the size of a two-story house, and being half the size of an olympic swimming pool while only weighing in at two-hundred and fifty metric tons.

Baseline Appearance: Most twilight dragons in their dragon forms all share the same resemblence as their kin, while some of the older ones show some more organic features to their body showing that they are more than just a machine like creature but rather a sentient, proud, and intelligent species. The young dragons are more metal like in appearance, while showing no type of organic matter to their bodies. One thing that all have in common is that their horns and their wings all hold multi-colored like circles that are similar to portants with two sitting under the crescent of the wings and the last portal sitting at the ridge of the nose near the mouth.

All of them walk on all fours, but in their human form they walk on their hind legs which can be something of a hassle to get used to. All Twilight dragons have luminescent eyes, and can be any color of their choosing. Though, colors like red, grey, white, and lime green being much more rare colors, while only the royal line of twilight dragons share a dark purple twilight color that let out an almost energistic like flow as if power is leaking from their very eyes. Twilight dragons also come in different colors ranging anywhere from grey which is the most common to black being the most rare.

Culture/Origin of Species: Twilight dragons have always existed since the beginning of time it is believed, lead by the first of their kind who lived within a realm called the hour of twilight or what we know as the even horizon of a black hole, or the void. A place filled with life unknown to any others eyes save for theirs its skies gave birth to stars, and collapsed old ones and gave ways to galaxies within their own world. This first dragon at the time reproduced with himself to make the first girl and that would be his first daughter. So, before he passed the gift down onto her this first dragon gave birth to six more brothers and sisters. Then, it was her time to make the species as it would be, pure, whole, and proud - but she did not wish for this, to only be bound to her kin and nothing more. So, she went out of her way to mingle with other species and eventually fell in love giving way to less inbred versions of their species which eventually caused the progenitor to mysteriously vanish.

Their culture is eons behind what would be considered modernization today, while if one is fortunate enough to go and visit their world which can be only accessed during the hour of twilight either by a personal invitation from one of the royal family, or through swimming towards the sun as it sets one would find that their city is very 'futuristic in the sense that everything seems like it is from a world far more futuristic than their own. But in fact they feel as if their technology and such is dwarfed when compared to other worlds. They are very friendly, but one should watch their mouths when speaking to them as saying the wrong thing can insult their pride, and while the older dragons such as the royal families, and higher ups might be quick to forgive the younger ones will not. They live by the code of respect, give it and you will get it - fail to do so and you will perish. They are also not afraid to visit different worlds and some have in fact made their homes beyond their homeland, even at eldritch academy.

Traits:
• Twilight dragons can transform into their full form at will, without the laws of nature hampering them down to a more tamed size.
• All twilight drakes come equipped with a special type of scale that makes up their body when they are attacked these attacks more or less go through a small portal and is absorbed, but not all attacks happen in this fashion.
• Twilight dragons have the ability to warp reality with their roar, bringing forth the hours of twilight to put their powers at the peak, but depending on how old they are is depended on how long this lasts. (This can naturally happen as well if they around during the hour of twilight on any planet that has a moon and a sun that cycle.)
• All twilight dragons can shapeshift, taking on a human form in order to look the part more and blend in with society.
• Twilight dragons are also incredibly strong in the sense that they can breathe out a substance called Obscuras, which when hit can encase the victim in darkness and eventually either suffocate them or crush them if caught
• Twilight dragons can travel to their homeland whenever they choose
• Twilight dragons are also incredibly resistant to pain.
• Twilight dragons while in human form have increased physical attributes.

Flaws:
• Twilight dragons even though they have wings they cannot fly
• Twilight dragons cannot come to another plane again after they have visited it unless summoned through song or a twilight key given to one friend and one friend only
• Twilight dragons are made up of the hour of twilight and so to sustain themselves, and satiate their endless hunger for the time being they must eat eighty times a day.
• Twilight dragons' pride can be easily hurt especially if they're younger.

DVERGR

Name of Species: Dvergr (Norse derivative of Dwarf)

IFRIT

Name of Species: Ifrit

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Baseline Dimension: Ifrits have no baseline dimension due to being made of flameless smoke, they appear however they want.

Baseline Appearance: They often, though not always, appear with the stereotypical demonic traits; horns, hooves, wings. Often having a fiery appearance with flames leaping from their mouth and off their skin. Their skin tones are usually warm, from different shades of reds to browns. Though Ifrits are master shapeshifters, they often stick to one form, though maybe not the traits mentioned, these are just the usual ones seen on this specific subspecies of Djinn.

Culture/Origin of Species: Ifrits are a subspecies of Djinn, though they are thought to be the most powerful species of the Djinn. Whether it came from a credible source isn't confirmed. Despite their rouge like nature, they have their own clans and tribes lead by monarchs. Often the devilish beings take up residence in old ruins or underground. Though they usually marry one another, it isn't uncommon for them to marry a human. It's rarely that they are seen as benevolent beings, you can actually say they've never been portrayed as such. They are wicked and ruthless beings that prey on every creature that has blood or a life-force for them to consume and add to their own. They are the keepers of nightmares and wishes, though nothing good, every wish from them is sure to be cursed. As they often twist the words of the people wishing. Due to their nature and common appearance, and other unmentioned factors, the Ifrits, along with a couple of other clans, were thought to be the origin of demons.

Traits:
Personal Dimension • In items no bigger then a baseball and even as small as the head of a needle, they can create entire worlds within them. Depending on how powerful the Ifrit is, it may be the size of a shed to being the size of country. They have total control over these dimensions, the rules are however the Djinn wants it.
Smoke Teleportation • They can travel between worlds, realms, dreams, virtually any space, by transforming themselves into smoke. Not only can they do this to themselves, but they can also do such with object and any willing individual.
Wish Granting • In exchange for some of their own life force, they can grant wishes. The more complex and bigger the wish is, the more life force it drains from them. Due to their displeasure in this, and because they're just naturally cruel individuals, Ifrits will most definitely twist the words of the wisher to torture them. It's rare that they grant a wish that the one wishing will be grateful for.
Longevity • Ifrits have a long lifespan compared to other species, and due to their life force depleting habits, they can live up to well over 1000 years. Though while in their vessel, time does not pass, so they can live indefinitely if they remain inside.
Shapeshifting • Though they prefer one set appearance, Ifrits have always been ambiguous beings and they can change their form on an impulse.
Rapid Healing • Since they are a physical manifestation of their smoke, it's not actually real, so it's easier to heal the wounds they gain, giving them +1 in vitality
Pyromancy • As they are often depicted as being covered in flames, either breathing it or having it blaze off their skin, it's no surprise they have such an ability. They are able to effortlessly manipulate fire to hurt or harm others. Using it in any other way takes more effort, as it's not in their nature.
Life Consumption • Ifrits, in this way, stray from their mother species. Their selfish beings, and hate the thought of a short life span, so it's often that they feast on the life force and even blood of innocents to lengthen their own life spans and rejuvenate themselves.
Flight • A simple ability that they have, no matter the form, due to their gaseous nature they are very lightweight and are able to fly or float. Flying is something they naturally do, it's second nature to them, they actually have to think to walk. Though there would be no point in them doing so, as when flying speed is increased by +2.

Flaws:
Scent • No matter what they do, they will always have a strong smell of smoke on them, the more bitter the being the worse the scent it. For Ifrits, it's rarely a good smell, it's almost impossibly hard smell to mask.
Enslavement • All Djinn have a primary lamp that keeps the majority of their essence. Sadly for them, and thankfully for everybody else in existence, this includes Ifrits. If their lamp is damaged, so are they, so understandably they are protective of them. When someone else possesses the lamp, they are able to make the Ifrit to whatever they please and whatever wish. Their owner has to be wary to keep the lamp out of their reach, otherwise their will be consequences.
The Cold • Ifrits are desert creatures by nature, they thrive on the blistering heat. The cold is a great weakness of theirs, as it has many downfalls for them. Being frozen doesn't kill them, but its excruciatingly painful. The extreme colds, and depending on how weak the Djinn, mild chilliness can reduce their vitality and speed by -1. It also removed their rapid healing and their ease in controlling flames, as it becomes extremely difficult to produce fire in the cold.
Gluttony • Their ability to consume the life force of others comes at a price. While they are feeding, they are vulnerable, which can lead to their capture considering their temporary -2 in resilience due to them letting their guard down and concentrating on their hunger. It will take them a few minutes to regain their resistance. Also in consuming the very being of others, gives them a sort of high, and they get addicted to it. That and the taste of blood, maybe even flesh if their that addicted to blood. Not feasting for a period of time will give them a sort of withdraw, which is a torturous experience from them. It makes them rather bloodthirsty, ravenous, and beastly, more then people think they are already, and worst of all for them, less cautious. Even if they are hybrids, this weakness always comes with the Life Consumption ability.

INCUBUS

Name of Species: Incubus

SPOILER: Click to show

{CLICK HERE for Appearance, Culture, and Origin}Baseline Dimension: Much like humans, no two incubus look the same. However, it'd be a lie to say that they come in all shapes and sizes. Most pure bred incubus range from well toned to extremely muscular, and they are usually all on the taller side of the male population, generally being 5'10 or taller. The weight that they carry is all over the place due to the weight distribution however, the average of most of the male demons is around 165lbs.

Baseline Appearance: It's hard to have a basic appearance for the demons that literally thrive off of becoming people's fantasy men. However, they are known to favour forms that have darker hair colours and will rest in these forms, the most common hair colours for the demons would generally be black, brown, and navy blue. Something that they cannot really change is their eye colour when they are actively trying to gain someone's attention. Their eyes will be a dull yellow as they attract attention of all kind unto themselves. Once they aren't using this ability, their ability lies in being able to blend in flawlessly with human society. You'd never see an incubus that has viewable body fat though. Since they are supposed to appeal to as many people as possible, their body burns off fat extremely fast and channels the results of exercise quicker than a human body, leading to an amazing metabolism. So as a result, many incubi have toned to extremely well built bodies. Other than these factors, they blend in extremely well into society, which can be a blessing for them but a plague on society.

Culture/Origin of Species: When the Ancient War ended, the first set of incubi were created. Their will was created in the time of mating for the animals, so their carnal desires for lust were created first and then like man, the physical bodies of the first incubi were completely human but the chemicals that came from Hisakawa influenced their body structure, causing them to gather attention whether they seeked it or not as well as providing them with a body that could help with their basic motivation to live. Their female counterparts, succubus, were completely uninterested in them and the incubi felt no way about them either. However, when in times of underpopulation, the two would rely on each other as essentially an infinite source of energy, although they found no fun in the experience. And when you are beings that completely focus on having fun with the suffering of those beneath them, this got rather dry. The two species have a mutual agreement to stay away from each other except in cases of extreme desperation.
Generally, times when there were cases of various women of different statures, whether be nobility or even common folk, disappearing and never even having left a trace, it was most likely an incubus who drained their body completely of their life energy before their body was left with nothing and completely faded into dust. None were ever really caught leading to some of the greatest disappearance cases left to the world to wonder what happened. The crafty demons generally only choose the victims to kill if they bugged them in an annoying fashion or treated them as something lesser. They are beings of pride so they always aim to knock those who view themselves as above them down a peg. Usually, this results in them becoming a power source for the incubi and the incubus just having another body to hide.
They blend in extremely well in society but usually can be pointed to strings of disappearance cases that specify around females. However, with the newest generation, incubus don't really care about what they absorb energy from specifically causing them to become more of a nuisance than anything. The incubi are extremely prideful beings that are completely aware of what they are doing when it comes to influencing people with their looks and always strive to be above the rest. They are completely aware that their abilities seem limited to appearance but with each generation growing more unique, incubi are a force to be reckoned with.

Traits:
• Libido - All incubus are physically in shape, far past the peak performance of a human being. As a result of this, they gain 3 Aspect points to their Stamina. As an appearance effect, it simply makes them appear extremely fit as this is the origin of their fast metabolisms and quicker physical fitness results.
• Beacon - Incubus are already able to attract attention from appearance alone, however, this trait of the species amplifies it. By channeling their focus, the incubi can gather the attention of those around them. They can choose what kind of attention it is as well, whether it be lust, adoration, idolization, or even negative attention. This is a trait that can go out of control from the incubi's emotions, however, so they need to train themselves to only activate it when they truly need it.
• Trance - With a little more focus and training, the Beacon ability can be trained further to evolve into Trance. While they stay the same in that incubi can completely place someone of their choosing in a trance-like state. Everything that the incubus says to the affected party will have them act accordingly causing them to have complete control of the person that they influenced.
• Drain - When the incubi make physical contact with someone, they can choose to drain the physical life energy of the person. This causes the person to experience a rush of fatigue and neediness. Being drained by an incubus is incredibly dangerous due to it having an addictive property. The incubus benefits from the life energy causing them to feel more alive after an encounter with an eager person. More advanced incubi are completely well versed enough that they don't need to make physical contact and can even drain energy from people's thoughts and sustain themselves completely off of that instead.

Flaws:
• Purity - If a person is aligned with a holy aspect, the incubus will feel a compulsion to not try to influence them as they can potentially damage the incubus as they are demons at the end of things.
• Insatiable - Incubus have incredibly addictive personalities so it can lead to various issues whether it revolves around their lust for power, people, fame, or even just substances that they can easily abuse. Once an incubus gets a taste of something that they really like, they will stop at nothing to get as much of it as possible, sacrificing everything they have to offer, body, mind, and soul.

INUGAMI

Name of Species: Inugami

SPOILER: Click to show

{CLICK HERE for Appearance, Culture, and Origin}Baseline Dimension: Inugami have two forms their dimensions changing dependent on which one they inhabit. Generally they have a secondary form that resembles humanoid species following those dimensions. However, their natural state is an incredibly large dog often between 10 to 20 feet in height, they weigh next to nothing never exceeding twenty pounds in spite of their large size and width varies vastly depending on species of canine.

Baseline Appearance: Able to possess any color hair, eyes and skin this species does have a preference for darker colors due to an affiliation with black magic. Occasionally they display special features in their humanoid, elfin ears, fur for hair, dog ears, canine tails, claws, tufts of fur on their body, markings around their neck, markings on their faces and other markings across their body all being possible. 

Culture/Origin of Species: Inugami originate as some other sort of dog bases species. When an Inugami reproduces the child inherits the genes for whatever the Inugami was prior as it takes an additional special strenuous circumstance to create an an Inugami, birth isn’t enough. Being spiritual canine deities of revenge Inugami come into existence when canid species have been killed in such a way that leaves them incredibly vengeful. Most typically this involves enduring some sort of starvation resulting in death, though sometimes the event that turned them involves a beheading or being buried under a busy location causing the body to be ‘trampled’ on. However, there have been weird incidents were the rise of an Inugami has nothing in common with the rise of other’s of the species and all that is in common is the fact they died first.

Traits: 
•Inugami are able to physically interact with the emotionally related energies in the world as if they were perfectly tangible things even making them visible to others in the form of colored fog, their claws acting like latches to allow this.
•Due to their nature as spiritual beings regardless of form, false body or possession, Inugami can fly/levitate at will.
•Wield senses of smell, hearing, night vision, etc, stronger than that of the canines they once existed as.
•Inugami possess a natural sense of direction that can not be interfered with making it extremely difficult to disorinate them unless someone’s strength exceeds theirs. 
•These canines are specters at their base in spite of being an advanced kind they still retain the basic ability to possess objects and other species.
•Inugami are potent black magic users granting them powerful bodies and abilities, +2 Strength.
•As wielders of a strainful art they have evolved to be able to go longer than most others to get the most out of their rather costly magic.+1 stamina
•Born from the shedding of their own blood Inugami are incredibly attuned with the substance able to manipulate their own blood to make weapons or spilled blood to strike someone from behind.
•Easily able to transform between two forms, one of them much more potentially damaging than the other.
•Inugami can solidify shadows into numerous shapes to use them to grip things or such.
•Alternatively the shadow on someone’s back is their negativity, being attuned with that an Inugami can breathe life into and control living shadows, 4 x their strength is the limit for their animation of shadows.
•Oddly malicious as most Inugami tend to be, their consumption of emotional negativity leaves behind only positive emotions ironically making the world around them better.

Flaws: 
•Are particularly susceptible to being controlled by those who can control spirits due to the fact their bodies are false constructs or possessed forms. If the strength of the person attempting exceeds the inugami by 2 or more, the Inugami has no choice but to obey.
•If an Inugami or their contracted master does not respect their power’s the innate abilities of the species are quick to spiral out of all control even that of the Inugami itself resulting in an inability to control their abilities for a time the power of the Inugami will lash out with excessive brutality at anyone including its own reflection.
•An excessive use of their species powers against multiple others in a short duration results in the Inugami’s personality darkening and becoming more violent until they can stop using these powers for an extended time.
•Inugami are quickly addicted to their own power’s without some form of coping mechanism it’s next to impossible for them to go a day without making use of their powers and actually puts them through withdrawl systems.
•Perhaps most inconvenient for this species is the fact they no longer sustain nourishment from normal food and instead have to feed off negativity.
•They can suffer from something known as sensory overload which suddenly makes them irate and aggressive until they can escape to rest their senses, in order to escape they will kill if they have reached this state.

KIRIN

Name of Species: Kirin

SPOILER: Click to show

{CLICK HERE for Appearance, Culture, and Origin}Baseline Dimension: Naturally they are 40 ft : 12 m tall at their shoulders, with a small and nimble frame each Kirin's antlers vary in size.

Baseline Appearance: The kirin is a chimerical beast resembling a deer with scales like a dragon’s covering its body. It has a tail like an ox’s and a flowing mane. Its body and mane are covered in brilliant holy fire, over times these features may have changed, as generations differ slightly.

Culture/Origin of Species: A highly rare creature known only to be born in Hisakawa due to the natural energy and purity in the lands Kirin are powerful unicorn like creatures. Regal animal, holy and highly revered, and often considered a god in its own right. Traditionally and instinctively the kirin never eats the flesh of other beings, they take care never to tread or harm any other living thing no matter how small. When it walks, it does so without trampling a single blade of grass. Its beauty is only surpassed by its rarity; kirin only appear during periods of world peace, during the reigns of noble and enlightened rulers, in lands owned by wise and benevolent people, or as heralds of a golden age. Kirin never harm good and pure souls, but they are swift and fierce to attack if threatened, breathing holy fire from their mouths. Because kirin are beasts of purity and goodness, they have been used in carvings and paintings as symbols of these virtues since early times. They are also seen as symbols of justice and wisdom. Because of their holiness, images of kirin frequently adorn temples and shrines. They are omens of great luck and fortune, and the appearance of a kirin is often believed to be a sign of the arrival of a great leader or a wise man.

Traits:
• Kirins are flexible creatures, due to this they are known to be able not just to shapeshift into human forms, but to sometimes take traits across from one form to another, such as their antlers, scales, claws or teeth. They can control their size, changing from their natural size (normally 40 ft) down to 4 ft, this flexibility and ability to adapt has left the Kirins with an extra 3 aspect points in speed.
• The Kirin have an affinity for natural talents, the majority of them using mainly talents from the basic and common elements (Fire, Earth, Air, Water, Nature, Metal). However after their initial talent many Kirins develop and train talents based on their personal history and experiences.
• The holy fire which naturally covers a Kirins body does not hold enormous power, however is has the ability to gently heal or damage those that the Kirin deems to be a target, the fire purifies all that it touches.
• Kirin are naturally sensitive to the emotions and stability of the society around them, due to preferring to live in eras and areas of peace or under strong leadership they can sense the emotions of all those around them. If the Kirin in question is much stronger than another then they may be able to slightly influence the emotions of the weaker individual.
• Due to their almost god like status Kirins are known to be stronger against the forces of evil, yokai, demons and other darkened creatures which are considered evil. This is because they naturally protect the life around them, stopping all which may harm it and protecting the current life Kirin's feet never touch the live ground, they just float a few centimetres above the ground if there are plants underfoot. This also affects them when in human form.
• Within 5 to 10 ft of a Kirin life grows stronger, plants bloom with brighter colours and living creatures feel stronger and more youthful. This trait grows stronger as the Kirin
• In an effort to mediate any problems Kirin not only influence emotions but they can also communicate telepathically

Flaws:
• The inability to take nutrients from meat or flesh, whilst kirin in both natural and human form can consume meat it will either pass through without being digested or it will react harshly, causing them to vomit up the meat.
• They are easily influenced by the malady, meaning that kirin tend to get sick easily if they are in an area that is corrupt
• If the Kiren has left an area that they are instinctually inclined to stay in (peaceful lands, stable areas, strong leaders), then they will constantly feel uneasy, anxious and unsteady. It would take a lot of mental training to overcome this anxious feeling,

COLORED KITSUNE (NON-YOUKAI)

Name of Species: Kitsune

SPOILER: Click to show

{CLICK HERE for Appearance, Culture, and Origin}Baseline Dimension: In animal form the average head and body length is 18 to 33.75 inches, average weight is 4.9 to 31 lbs.

All kitsunes have golden amber eyes when in animal form, and brown in human form. They also all have at least three or four bushy, white tipped tails when in animal form.

Culture/Origin of Species: Kitsunes are a very old species that have been around for hundreds of years. The very first kitsune had golden fur color, and had the name 'Renala'. She was able to shapeshift into a beautiful woman, and she fell in love with a human man. The two married and she gave birth to three kitsunes, one red, one brown, and one that was a light silvery blue color. These three became the ancestors of the present-day kitsunes. Before Renala had given birth to her three cubs, she had drunk wine that had been made with water that moonlight was reflected off of, and it very strongly poisoned her. She lived just long enough to give birth to her three children, and then she passed away. Because of this, every kitsune after is weakened by moonlight, and cannot touch or consume anything that moonlight has touched.

KITSUNE (TRADITIONAL)

Name of Species: Fox Yokai | Kitsune

SPOILER: Click to show

{CLICK HERE for Appearance, Culture, and Origin}Baseline Dimension: 20 inches high at shoulder in true fox form. Five feet high at the shoulder in larger kitsune form. Tails can be up to many meters long. Can grow up to exponential amounts.

Baseline Appearance: Natural fur colors of red, orange, black, white, gray, silver, white, multicolored. Unnatural fur colors are possible.

Culture/Origin of Species: The Fox Yokai, also known as a Kitsune, is a mythical beast with many mysterious powers. They are generally crafty and deceptive individuals that enjoy a good prank or guise. Most Kitsune enjoy the culture and climate of Hisakawa and live solitary, not in large groups like some yokai. Many are stereotyped to be thieves and untrustworthy due to their inherent nature.

Traits:
• Kitsunebi | Fox Yokai can manifest a unique blaze of fire known as Kitsunebi, or "fox fire". The color of Kitsunebi varies from fox to fox and often reflects the nature of their soul or personality. The Kitsunebi has either hot or cold properties and can assist the fox in use of illusions.

• Illusions | Along with shapeshifting, Kitsune can utilize various small visual and audible illusions to aid in their trickery. These illusions are harmless and cannot be physically touched.
• Kitsunetsuki Being a wicked species at their roots, all foxes have the ability to possess individuals through a process known as Kitsunetsuki.
• Kyuubi | Over the course of its lifetime, generally many millennia should one survive long enough, a fox will grow to have a total of nine tails. These tails can potentially be used as weapons or be prehensile should a kitsune manipulate them as such. The tails typically can resize.


Flaws:
• Kitsune cannot sustain shapeshifting for long, and many times when in human form, are unable to fully disguise their tails, ears, claws, or fangs.
• Kitsunetsuki can sometimes be ineffective as features of the fox's physical form, such as tails, ears, claws, and the like can manifest.
• Though keen, cunning, and swift, foxes are generally more fragile than most magical creatures. As such, most do not live long enough to see their ninth tail.

LESHEN

Name of Species: Leshen

SPOILER: Click to show

{CLICK HERE for Appearance, Culture, and Origin}Baseline Dimension: A fully grown Leshen can stand at up to seven or eight foot in height, they can weigh up to 250lbs. Some Leshen are capable of taking on human disguises, however this requires a lot of magical energy to maintain. There are no specifications to their human forms as they will usual take of a human form they have seen themselves.

Baseline Appearance: A Leshen has the general outline of a human in stance but that is the only similarity, their bodies are made of earthly materials as their heads resemble the skull of a forest creature i.e deer, ram, goat etc.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}

Culture/Origin of Species:
Creatures as old as time itself, they are born from the forest to serve as it's guardian and protectors, believe by some to be gods. They are wielders of ancient magic and can be very dangerous if crossed.
Over many centuries, Leshen's have observed and witnessed the modernization of the human world, and with it many fell victim to it's technological advances. The act of deforestation left many Leshen's homeless and even resulted in the death of some of their species. As a result the Leshens were infuriated with the humans, some even sort to fight them, resulting in a war of sorts between the species. However eventually the Leshen found this was only doing more damage to their motherland, resulting in devastated landscapes and forest fires. As a result, a peace treaty was formed between the species and now there are specific regions of forest that are covered by the Leshen Habitation Protection Treaty. Thus prohibiting humans from using them as resources or building on these areas of land. Over time, peace has become commonplace between the two species and the war long forgotten. Some Leshen have even integrated fully into Human Society and coexist with them.

Traits:
• Able to manipulate natural and earth based elements : Rock, Soil, Sand, Water and bend them to their will.
• A Leshen may summon thorny roots, crows or wolves to attack you, these attacks target a line directly in front of the Leshen.
• A Leshen can use their magic to disguise themselves amongst humans, however this requires a lot of magical energy. Rarely a Leshen will ignore this ability and maintain its natural form at all times.
• They can communicate with woodland creatures, this is through the universal language and understanding. Leshens can sense their thoughts, desires and emotions.
• The presence of a Leshen can restore any damage earthland around them, although this requires a lot of magical energy. They can also use this to heal wounds, even on humans, although their healing capabilities are restricted to their understanding of human biology.

Flaws:
• Weak to Fire, this element is naturally harmful to a Leshen due to its body being made of earthen materials.
• Weak to Frost, this element is naturally harmful to a Leshen due to its body being made of earthen materials, causing the plant based minerals inside them to wither and die.

LICH

Name of Species: Lich

SPOILER: Click to show

{CLICK HERE for Appearance, Culture, and Origin}Baseline Dimension: Same as the species they originated from, default dimensions are same as human.

Baseline Appearance: Typically Liches will appear as corpses or skeletons, etc. However, it’s possible for them to devote part of their power to maintaining a more refreshed appearance, allowing a lich to keep the appearance traits of their original species.

Culture/Origin of Species: Liches were originally spell casters and those who had magical inclinations and desired to conquer mortality. In the olden days Liches were known as harbingers of evil, committing many horrific acts to obtain their immortality and in perfecting their craft. In more recent days after the discovery of talents Liches bargained to have their past ‘crimes’ forgiven in exchange for becoming researchers who investigate the origin and capabilities of talents. Due to their past sorcerous experience’s liches were accepted for this role, and they have stayed as such ever since the treaty’s acceptance.
Due to the invention of talents the ritual to become a lich is far easier, as many require using the inherent talent energies of the host rather then the crude old sacrificial methods of the past, allowing for better karma options for turning into this undead. Still it takes a special breed of individual to become a lich rather then another type of undead, so they are still somewhat uncommon.

Traits:
• Strength increased by 1 point.
• Stamina increased by 1 point.
• Resilience increased by 1 point.
• Don’t have to breathe, eat, sleep, and perform any normal bodily function of their base species.
• By storing their soul in a phylactery, they can rebuild their body even if said body is destroyed.
• Liches have knowledge of necromancy ingrained in them, they can revive others into different types of undead (bar another lich), though they won’t be their minion as per the stereotype of a necromancer.

Flaws:
• A liches phylactery can be destroyed, and thusly stop them from reviving.
• The farther away from their phylactery the less control over their body the lich has, thus it should be stored in a relatively safe but nearby location. Assume the range of the cities setting is good enough.
• Since they are undead being created through magic/rituals, holy/healing talents deal bonus damage against them.
