Ejiki
Home World:
Hinansho
Special Abilities:
Ejiki have the ability to communicate with other animals of prey. This is the only ability that all Ejiki have in common. Because of the wide variety, all different species of Ejiki have different abilities. Most are physical attributes that come from their animal ancestry such as the ability of flight, ability to breathe underwater, or enhanced senses. A few Ejiki are blessed with the ability to heal, but it is ancient magic and it has been diluted over the years, making it weak.
Appearance:
Ejiki have a mainly human appearance with a few features of their animal ancestors, such as their ears, tails, eyes, and wings. They are generally built smaller than predator species.
Cultural Description:
Ejiki are very peaceful creatures, as breaking the peace results in exile to Rengoku. They reside in Tengoku, where they live in harmony with nature. There are very few structures in Tengoku except for the houses of its inhabitants. Ejiki generally live in caves, tree houses, and burrows. Most of the Ejiki are gatherers, but a few keep gardens to make finding food easier. There isn't a leader, but there is a council made up of one representative for every major species. (Rabbits, Birds, Fish, Mice, Squirrels, etc.) The only predators that they are willing to interact with are the Kitsune, who offer them protection against the other predators in exchange for a certain portion of the food collected by the Ejiki.

Kitsune
Home World:
Hinansho
Special Abilities:
Kitsune are able to communicate with all animals. They also have very long lives, superior intelligence, and enhanced senses. Unlike other inhabitants of Hinansho, Kitsune are still able to return to their animal form. This gives them the advantage in any fights, as Kitsune are quite large. Kitsune are extremely charismatic, allowing them to fool people easily, especially Ejiki.
Appearance:
Kitsune have a mainly human appearance with the ears and tails of a fox. The more tails a Kitsune has, the more powerful they are considered. Lighter fur is also considered superior, as white furred Kitsune are said to be closer to heaven than dark furred Kitsune.
Cultural Description:
When the new species of creatures emerged on Hinansho, fighting broke out between the Ejiki and the predators in a period called Yami. The Ejiki managed to push the predators past the Baria Mountain Range and into Rengoku. The Kitsune managed to talk their way out of exile and were allowed to stay in the Baria Mountains in exchange for protection against the other predators. After awhile, the Kitsune began asking for more from the Ejiki, mainly food. Now, the Ejiki provide the Kitsune with most of their food, as none of the Ejiki are brave enough to fight back. The Kitsune use their charm to talk down anyone who dares speak out against them. They live a relatively laid back lifestyle in a village built in the mountains. The Kitsune are ruled by monarchy. Because Kitsune are mostly female, they are a matriarchy ruled by and Empress.

Predators
Home World:
Hinansho
Special Abilities:
Predators have the ability to communicate with other animals that are predators. Because of the wide variety, all different species of Predators have different abilities. Most are physical attributes that come from their animal ancestry such as the ability of flight, ability to breathe underwater, or enhanced senses. The Predators have long since forgotten how to use magic.
Appearance:
Predators have a mainly human appearance with a few features of their animal ancestors, such as their ears, tails, eyes, and wings. They are generally built larger than Ejiki species.
Cultural Description:
Predators are more animalistic than the other inhabitants of Hinansho. Because of the tougher conditions in Rengoku, they have to fight to survive. They can live in packs or on their own, but they are almost always moving in search of their next meal. Some Predators have learned to adapt to eating an omnivorous diet, but none have been able to survive on a vegetarian diet. There are no laws and no governments except those established by individual packs. Predators dislike the Ejiki and hold a grudge against the Kitsune for siding with the Ejiki.
Name: protoss
Home World: Aiur
Special Abilities: Protoss are extraordinarily focused, to a degree unmatched by humans. Their powerful psionic abilities extend further than that of human ghosts.
Protoss have been described as "devastatingly intelligent"
Protoss are natural mind-readers. Protoss must learn to filter the thoughts they read and filter (or block) the thoughts that they release (which would prevent other protoss from reading their minds). The ability to block thoughts is compromised by the Khala, which prevents the protoss which follow that philosophy from hiding from each other. During the Aeon of Strife, Protoss regularly used their mind-screening abilities to ambush each other.
Protoss can use their psionic abilities to shield themselves, charge their tools and weapons, and to make, manipulate or meld matter. At least some of these abilities can only be used by a small minority of protoss without technological assistance (such as the creation of shields).
Zeratul using the powers of the Void
Protoss can sometimes access memories and strands of experience from protoss who have died and entered the Khala, but only preservers have full access to this knowledge. Protoss warriors can learn from the spirits of fallen warriors at the Templar Archives.
The powers of the Khala and the Void protect protoss from zerg infestation.
Appearance: Protoss are about two meters (seven feet) to three meters tall and have two glowing eyes that blink normally,
digitigrade legs, semi-permeable skin covered in scales, four digits on their hands (of which two are thumbs) and toes, broad chests and shoulders, and narrow waists with slim midsections. Extending back from the crown of the head, protoss have a bony crest. Beneath it, emerging from the back of the head, are the nerve cords, allowing them to access their racial psionic gestalt. This gestalt is the basis of the Khala.
The xel'naga considered these beings to have purity of form as the protoss are incredibly adaptable to harsh natural conditions and climates, and their strength and speed were unparalleled amongst the other races known to the xel’naga. Protoss even have sharp claws, which can be deadly weapons if a protoss is caught unarmed.
Protoss derive sustenance from light, capable of living off moonlight (reflected sunlight), and can go without light for extended periods of time. What little water they need is absorbed through the skin. The Dark Templar modified themselves biologically and used other techniques to survive on the formerly lightless world of Shakuras.
The protoss used to hunt, but they did so to collect the blood and hides of animals for various purposes, not for sustenance.
Protoss hear and smell through their skin, and it is believed that their primary sense is sight. Protoss have a sense of smell sharp enough to identify other protoss and see very well at night. A protoss' skin color may change in response to changes in its emotions. They are bereft of mouths, noses, or visible ears and are without a sense of taste. They possess three hearts.
Protoss sleep and dream in a manner similar to humans. When particuarly emotional, streams of energy have been observed to stream from a protoss's eyes, similar to how a terran might cry. Eye colors include blue, green, gold, and red. The proliferation of eye color corresponds to kindred; Khalai eyes are predominantly blue, Nerazim are predominantly green, and red is present among the Tal'darim.
A protoss's maximum life expentancy is 1000 years, though exceptions exist.
Protoss are not a prolific people and the xel'naga even developed an artifact, the Kassia crystal, to counteract this. The population of Aiur, however, had reached billions. Before the Fall of Aiur, the protoss population was in decline due to systematic extermination; the protoss were passing away from sheer age.Their numbers have been further reduced through conflict, and their population continues to decline.
Protoss blood is blue or purple. As in humans, coloration is considered a sign of ethnicity, with each protoss tribe having a specific subtly differing hue or typical pattern of markings associated with it
cultural description: Protoss culture is built around core philosophies that have been rigidly adhered to for over a millennium. As such, it is difficult for their society to adapt to changing circumstances. The integration of Khalai and Nerazim is a case in point in different cultural values.
Khalai culture has its roots in the Aeon of Strife, the period of chaos following the retreat of the xel'naga. At the end of the Strife, the protoss were reunited under the precepts of the Khala ("Path to Ascension") as promoted by the mystic Khas. The Khala took advantage of the natural psionic communal link and established a caste system. Protoss can be fanatical when it comes to their religious beliefs.
Not all protoss embraced the Khala. Many outcasts, eventually known as the Nerazim, were later banished from Aiur. Yet other outcasts, the Tal'darim, use drugs to cut themselves off from the Khala.
Female protoss rarely attain positions of power, except among the Nerazim. They are rare among the Templar Caste and were never part of the Conclave. Many protoss have a prejudice against female terrans, as the only one they've had much contact with was Kerrigan (contrasted to Jim Raynor). Very young protoss are referred to as "younglings."
The protoss are considered a "warrior race", although they were not constantly at war. They trained incessantly for combat, however, and prior to the Great War warred with the kalathi and "other types" of protoss. Protoss have a strict code of justice and honor, and strongly believe in their responsibility to enforce it. They strive for glory in battle. Protoss have always been willing to sacrifice their lives for other members of their species.
Aiur holds great, almost spiritual significance to all protoss.
The protoss, or at least the Khalai, do not not have a concept of luck, instead seeing "the synchronicity of events," and knowing there is a grander design behind them.
The extent to which the protoss have been a unified people has waxed and waned over time. Originally tribal based, the protoss settled under centralized rule with the coming of the xel'naga, only to revert back to tribalism in the Aeon of Strife, only to once again be unified after thousands of years. Under the Khala, the Khalai formed the caste-based Protoss Empire while those who refused to submit became the outcast Nerazim.
In the aftermath of the Brood War, both lines of protoss were united under the Daelaam. However, internal tension once again led to tribalism and their civilization fractured. In the aftermath of the End War, the Daelaam united the remaining tribes, and reclaimed Aiur as the homeland for all protoss.
The Tal'darim are a branch of protoss that were taken from Aiur during the departure of the xel'naga, and serve as a seperate culture from the Khalai and the Nerazim, unconnected to the Khala.They are warlike, and before his fall served Amon with a fanatical devotion, using terrazine to become closer to him.
While not true protoss, the Purifiers were templar designed by the protoss who rebelled over not being treated as true templar. During the End War, they were absorbed back into protoss society with the promise of equal treatment to true protoss.

Mod
Home World: Nomadic
Special Abilities: The Eos are considered to be one of the deadliest races in alll the cosmos. Fast enough to keep pace with even the fastests of horses, they chase down thier prey with suprising speed and agility, in order to deliver the final blow with their sharp claws and poisnous fangs and spikes. Along with their skill in batlle, this race also has the ablity to sense portals opening to other worlds, which allows them to live their lives as world hoppers. With this nomadic lifestyle, this race has also learneed to pick up laugages and weapon designs with relative ease.
Appearance: ((http://jurassicpark.wikia.com/wiki/Fi...)) This with the addition of large overlapping scales that work like a suit of armor, and long poisonous spikes running along the back of the neck and tail, which raise up when the Eos is angered. For attire they wear only want they need to fight and hunt. With warriors wearing blade created helmets blade attached to the back of their arms and tail, and shamans wearing feathered head crests and carrying. Aside from this traditional arsenal, different tribes have been known to add weapons and clothing as they spend time in each world.
Cultural Description ;
No one no knows where the Eos came from or who created them, all that is known is that they just appeared throughout all the cosmos sometime after the world was split. As such while with the exception of the two Koi fish Gods that literally balance the light and darkness of the world's they worship don't any of the gods though they still respect them. Instead they worship the spirits of their dead which they believe dance amongst the stars.
From the description of everything else above, saying that this race loves the thrill of the fight would be an understatement. However despite the fact that they're pretty much built for the battlefield and they believe the art of war to be a sacred dance.They prefer to make work with the natives of whatever world they're living in rather than conquering them and it helps that they pick up languages at the bat of the eye.
Still while adaptability is one of their strong points, their culture is alive and well and their Philosophy and religion that preaches the beauty of battle, respect of nature, and the importance of the past. And their's no doubt in among this race that they their tribes will continue to wander the world's as they always have for as the Shamans teach the hatchlings, "our kind came at the dawn of these new worlds and as long as we follow the stars, and our chief, we'll continue on till the last sun sets."
Other;
While the Eos normally speak the common tongue of whatever world they're in. The have lauguages of their own know as Dawn Speak. This lauguege is more made up of visual cues and bird like sqwacks then actual words, and the dailect changes from tribe to tribe, but for reference here's one common phrase in the Eos tongue
Nathal Shalito Maymalla hyuole brotha
May the stars be with you blood brother

Name: NocutrnalsHome World: Etern Tardor
Special Abilities: Nocturnals abilities rest into several ill-moral categories. First and foremost the have a knack for stealing. Whether it be from picking pockets to picking locks they have all the skills necessary to get in and get out fast. Although, not all there skills fall into a thieving category. Many Nocturnals are proficient in magic. While most focus on necromancy many Nocturnals are skilled in other forms of magic, but the one skill that you should fear, that all Nocturnals have a knack for, is there ability to analyze, reverse engineer, and mimic whatever they can get their hands on. Give them a few seconds with something new, and they'll figure it out in no time.
Appearance: Nocturnals are mostly all small framed, light, and flexible. Their small bodies help them move quickly, and escape via tight spaces most larger and more muscular people could not easily maneuver through in case they get caught. Which is rare as the race is known for their natural ability to blend in with other humanoids. Despite not being named as such, Nocturnals look very much like humans. The only large difference is that Nocturnals hair color come naturally in black, white, a shade of grey between the two, or a style of purple.
Cultural Description: Nocturnals worship the Goddess Izar. Izar is the embodiment of the void, shadows, illusions, and deceit, and as such her followers play similar roles in society. Their major roles stemming anywhere from thieves to assassins. Nocturnals our known for their ability to blend in, hide in the shadows, and to generally not tell the full truth. Stealing, and giving a small pension to Izar, is considered a form of proper worship to their Goddess. Although, stealing from a fellow Nocturnal is looked down upon. This raises the question though, if your land is trapped in the void, how do you steal from someone who isn't a Nocturnal? Simple, let your Goddess send you to places to steal.
Izar consistently practices the act of sending her followers to other worlds and allowing them to do whatever they want. Whether it be from stealing to murder. This obviously can causes problems on the rare occasions that they choose murder, but the more dangerous aspect is if you allow a nocturnal to steal new technologies. These technologies are usually sent directly back to their home world where people get right to work on analyzing, researching, and mimicking whatever new thing they come across. Nine times out of ten if this product requires a certain product from that world to work they'll just find a way to make a similar object that works with magic. Which brings us to the darkest part of the Nocturnals.
Dark arts and other forms of magic that could be frowned upon is one hundred percent ok in Nocturn. Although every field of magic is practiced a great deal of effort has been put into Necromancy. Souls are rarely put to rest properly and most dead people's spirits end up as someone else's magical experiment from being part of a skeleton army to having your spirit be placed in some other object. This lack of restraint when it comes to working on the dead has also caused their to be a heavy influx of golems whom either have the souls of the dead, or an artificial soul.
Despite desecrating their own dead. The Nocturnal themselves are not all evil. They may partake in the act of stealing, they may have a few whom are notorious assassins that no one bothers to turn in, and they may practice magic the others would deem as evil, but they aren't lawless brutes. Murder is, surprisingly, illegal, and doing harmful experiments on the living is put a stop to as soon as people figure out what's going on.

Home World: Travon
Special Abilities: by Along with the ability to sniff out portal and a venomous bite that they inherited from their Eos ancestors. Trecans also have the ability to directly context with the Travan Trees they protect, allowing them to see the past, present, and possible future of their world.
Appearance: http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/naturelibrary...
Cultural Description ;
The Trecan race are descended from Eos that got cut off from the rest of worlds. However despite this relation, the only common cultural traits that has been passed between the two races is that both have religions tied to respecting nature (though they worship trees instead of stars) and that both used the language of dawn speak. They're a quiet, elusive race, that rarely ventures out of their home of tree haven except it be to protect the trees they're bonded to or in the search of knowledge. For the Trecans knowledge and wisdom are the two things that they treasure above else and their longing for more knows no bounds. As such thanks to their bonds to the Travan trees and their contacts from all around the known worlds. They've become one of the wisest races in all the cosmos and are perfectly willing to share their wisdom with those who seek them out so long as they don't partake of the Travan trees sacred fruit without their permission.
Surgebinders belong to Brandon Sanderson. I'm taking creative liberty. Read his book series: The Stormlight Archives -they're amazing!
Name: Surgebinder
Home World: Eradicated/Nonexistant
Special Abilities: Surgebinders are people who are presumably human, yet become something far more. They are perfectly in tune with the nature of their soul, both their interior motivations and exterior desires. They find harmony, even despite years of pain and suffering, and only then, when they are broken, can they attain their true potential. Surgebinders literally have a shard of their soul outside of their body, visible only to others when the soul decides. Disharmony between the pair can cause the death of the small part of soul and the loss of all powers of the surgebinder, resulting in a complete loss of power.
Powers vary by the type of soul, but all include: Healing themselves(Not others). The ability to turn their soul into a weapon that can shift into whatever form they currently need. A glowing blade/shaft.
Individual powers may consist of any, but not all: Illusions. Turning one material into another. Control over gravity. Ability to stick two items/people together using their power. Control over plants. Ability to heal others. (Many more may be added, but this is definitely not an extensive list, nor can any have more than 3-ish)
Appearance: They appear human, but when they attune their powers, their eyes glow the palest blue, and should they really go full on, their skin seems to seep white, glowing mist. Depending on the soul, it may be white or black.
Cultural Description: They may belong to any culture, but hold their own motivations, for nobility or not.

Name: Painted folkHome World: Travon
Special Abilities: Painted folk are able to run across water because of the way their feet are shaped with three large toes that have special pads underneath. This and the ability to reach high speeds allows them to run across water. Certain painted folk can also fly because of a thin skin layer between their arms and bodies that can be used when jumping from tall trees.
Appearance: [image error]
Cultural Description: Painted folk are more of nomadic hunters then everything else. While they will set up small villages high in trees, these villages are easily taken down and packed up as most painted folk tribes don’t stay in one place more than eight months at a time. This causes them to know the lay of the land well.
Painted folk tribes consist of children, mothers, warriors, food gathers, a medic, and a dominant male warrior leader. Most tribes have one or two scouts though some don’t since scouts are rare. Scouts are the few rare painted folk that are born with the special skin layer that gives them the ability to fly. This is not a hereditary trait though most painted folk in one family that has had this skin layer will have it because they usually carry the same personality traits that are looked for at birth when these lucky painted folk are blessed by a god. Most are not blessed by this god or gods and do not have this skin flap
Painted folk tribes are less of tribes and more pods. While the painted folk are one as a community they usually travel in smaller groups ranging from about ten to twenty members.

There are not many females and most females don’t live very long. All females know how to fight though within the tribe though they’re primary purposes are to gather food and to reproduce.
The tribe is dominated by one alpha male that has proven to be the strongest warrior out of all the night singer. Most alpha will keep any where from 3-10 females to themselves. There has been a few incidents of an alpha being so greedy that he has kept all females of the tribe at the time to himself. There has also been one incident where the alpha only had one female. When that happened she was known as beta.

Name: Leemen
Home World: Travon
Special Abilities: The eye of greed. Certain leemen, usually the princesses of the royal family and bloodline, though sometimes but rarely the princes, have the ability to see things (usually valuables) that others would normally have hidden or that are hidden beneath layers of dirt and foliage. The few that train this skill really hard are able to see the truth even through lies.
Leemen are excellent climbers because of their nimble limbs and tails.
Appearance: http://aliens.wikia.com/wiki/Lurmen?f...
Cultural Description: Leemen have something of a kingdom. They tend to be very self-centered. They focus everything around themselves and making their live the best for themselves.
With leemen the only person above the self is the king. King gets what he wants first then you get what you want.
There is absolutely no poverty among the leemen. Of course that doesn’t mean there’s isn’t any crime. In fact there is quite a lot of crime. The sick are shunned unless it is the king that gets sick. Then everyone is constantly making sure all the king’s wants and needs are met at all times.
The king is usually the most outgoing, loudest, and pushiest leemen. The king is chosen through blood. While one king may have many sons he can pick whichever son he wants to be his successor. The king’s advisor is usually his closest consort/member of his Harlem. While most kings chose to not make any strong bonds with any if the women in his Harlem, there have been a few incidents where the king has chosen to marry his advisor, making her his queen.
The eye of greed. Almost all princesses of the royal family and bloodline have been born with this ability for generations. Even a few princes. This would normally be fine, except as soon as a princess shows signs of having this ability the king ships her of to the leemen mines where they are forced to use their ability and work “for the better of the kingdom”. In the mine these princesses are mistreated and hardly get anything to eat. Most forget who they were and that they were once nobility. If a princess does not show this ability by age sixteen she is married off to a lower class commoner. Lower class being a general term for the average people. Any princess who trains to the point of being able to see the truth even through lies or is suspected of training this far is either sentenced to life in prison or if she tries to use it against the king then she is sentenced to death. For the very rare princes who have the ability the king tends to favor that prince over the rest.

However these oddities are all easily masked and hidden.
Cultural Description The Kree prefer to live solitary and peaceful lives. As they are the only omnivores living on a continent of farmers they consider themselves a danger. Move live close to the sea in order to eat things like fish as a completely vegetarian diet isn't enough to sustain the Kree.

Special Abilities Murmo are amphibious creatures making them suited to the land and the sea, however they cannot swim in too deep of water or for long stretches of time which is what leaves them bound to the Zulu region. All Murmos are born semi aquatic with scales and gils however at the same time they are known to take to land and hunt. Murmos are vastly strong and can change the land in order to change the flow of water to fit their needs. Some are also known to have magic that can manipulate water all on its own, which among the Murmos is a powerful talent that is widely respected. However only one in a million Murmos will posses this talent and most get very sick and die after birth.
Appearance Murmos are scaly beasts often compared to a mermaid without the bottom half of a fish. Instead their legs are covered in scales and fins along with the entire rest of their body. The Murmos have sharp claws and when they go on land they often try to stay in wetter regions. Most Murmos make their home in large lakes. They can adapt to both salt and fresh water. If a Murmos come in a wide variety of color with the females being more vibrant in color to attract a mate and the males often having more things like fins and neck fills and markings, things that the females despite their bright colors lack.

Special Abilities Beastlings are very similar to werewolves that don't need the moon to transform, but a Beastling can be any animal instead of just a wolf. Their abilities vary from animal to animal and most are predatory animals, but the one things that remains the same for all of them is that they are stronger than the average animal or beast of their kind. They can be born with a wide variety of skills and magic depending completely on what kind of animal they are. Some may manipulate plants or water while others could have a blood lust ability that allows them to go on a killing spree.
Appearance Beastlings have 4 core forms. The first is a human form which they vary rarely if ever use. The second is a partiality animal form where they will have ears and tails of their animal on their human form. The third is a humanoid form. This draws more on the typical werewolf as it will be their animal form with a human like shape. In this form some will be able to walk on their hind legs among various other advantages. The third form is often considered their strongest form as it is where they have the most strength and speed and well as their magic being at its strongest. The forth form is of course the completely animal form.
Cultural Description Beastlings will like in different societies depending on what kind of beast they are. Wolf Beastlings might live in a pack format while a cougar goes off to live on its own. As such they can be pretty unpredictable as to what they may do. The Beastlings have a strong hate for the Murmos to the point they will chase any out of their territory. However the strange thing is there are small amounts of cross breeding. Specifically between Beastlings who are more closely related to aquatic animals and have the ability to control water. Because how valuable this trait is to a Murmos often a Beastling with this kind of power will be spared and used to try and produce Murmos with this power. Despite the solidarity of Beastlings they all have a pack mentality mind set to them and despite occasional border fights they will band together to protect young and fight off Murmos. When a Beastling is taken by the Murmos more often than not at least three or four Beastlings will fight to get their comrade back.

Special Abilities Most Krupa are born blind but because of this have astounding senses of smell, hearing, and touch. A Krupa will have a large set of claws on their hands that look a lot like shovels, as they live under ground these were adapted for digging. Krupa who are not born blind will often be born with smaller claws and sharper fangs and will be used as scouts. A large about of scout Krupa actually have the ability to use a special kind of magic to track other living things in the area. Scouts are also born with the ability of camouflage.
Appearance Krupa appear to be pale white skinned creatures without any eyes. Their noses are simple slits in their face and their mouths are large dangerously fanged things. Their hind legs are reminisent of a raptor and so are their long whip like tails. They stand on two legs as their arms are equipped with massive sets of claws that make it impossible to walk on. Scouts will have smaller claws, sharper fangs, eyes, and skin that can camouflage itself.
Cultural Description The Krupa live in a hierarchical system with the male with the largest claws ruling as king. Whoever the king takes as a mate will be acting queen. However Krupa have been known to be polygamous and males will often take multiple mates. In such a case queens will rule over certain areas divide up between themselves. Krupa have many, many, many children because a lot of them die and most of the ones who live are female which is what causes the polygamy. The males are larger and stronger but they are also far less intelligent. Females on the other hand are smaller, faster, and smarter which is why they have higher survival rates. The most common causes of death are cave ins or starvation. They are a savage and unemotional race.

For royalty, there is the Allfather, the powerful king of Asgard. In one incident the Allfather was a god. Next to him is the Allmother, caretaker and queen of Asgard. Oddly enough the Allfather and Allmother, who ever it may be at the time, have never had any daughters, so the only princesses are the ones who marry a prince of Asgard. If a prince has fallen to evil his titles will be taken away and he will no longer have access to his rooms or most of Asgard for that matter of fact. It is possible, under the right circumstances, for these to be restored

The Elder knew how others liked his youngest and believed he would try and take over the race that was starting to begin. So he began trying to kill his youngest sibling, which eventually drove him away, where he would devour the souls of powerful, evil creatures that none had ever named nor would ever have a name. the Younger Brother eventually returned, hoping to persuade his brothers that their Eldest sibling was made with power, only to learn they had been killed and devoured by the Eldest.

So began a blood struggle that would continue through several millennium until the Youngest finally managed to trick the Eldest and killed and devoured his soul. So began the reign of the Fox King and the new struggle between the Honorable Ones and the Evil Ones.
Name: Moon DancersOther Names: Vampires, Followers of the Black Koi
Home World: Soulion
Special Abilities: Moon Dancers are, as can be taken away from the name, a race that is essentially "nocturnal" this isn't due to a preference, but because a moon dancer's skin will start to burn and peel if hit in direct sunlight. This could be remedied by a large umbrella, but traveling around at night is a lot safer. Being a nocturnal race has also caused most moon dancers to develop great low visibility sight to help the maneuver in the dark. Besides their keen eyesight in the dark, the other notable trait of moon dancers our their large canines. These large teeth are not used to tear into meat, but instead to pierce deeply into the skin so that they may suck the blood of their victim. That's right, the moon dancers are a group of vampires! As most vampires, the main intake of sustenance for the moon dancers is blood, and although their bite does not transform people, you really don't want to wake up to find one of these creature sucking you dry. Many moon dancers are also practiced magicians, focusing on magic the allows for quick and easy ways to knock out prey so they can get in, drink,and get out before anyone notices they're gone. It is also very dangerous to corner moon dancers, as many can have powerful spurts of magic that can rival the strength of their Sunny counterparts.
Appearance: Moon dancers can look like any other human at first glance. The most notable differences being their skin tones. Which can go anywhere between pale white to an almost grey color, which may make them look just more like sick people then blood suckers. Although, getting a closer look at them you could tell that they have sharp, pointed, eyes like a cat. They, of course, have their teeth, but many choose to hide them under turtle necks or just not speak in order to keep their identity hidden. Like most stories for vampires, the moon dancers are, in a sense, immortal. They are technically not immortal, as they do age but only at a rate slow enough to rival even dragons. Although the rate of aging changes as the moon dancer gets older. Most moon dancers age at the normal rates humans do up until they reach sexual maturity. Upon reaching sexual maturity their rate of aging will change again once they reach full maturity. At this point the aging process is slowed so much, that they piratically do not age at all. Their is no official measurement that one can apply to a moon dancer to see how they age, and it is widely believed that how fast a moon dancer ages depends on external stimuli. ((Meaning a moon dancer who has many mortal friends will likely mature and age faster than one without mortal friends.))
Cultural Description: Moon dancers were given their names for two reasons. They are first and foremost the followers of Aquila, the Balance Goddess of Darkness, and secondly a very laid back race. Those who spot parties of vampires, while they were not trying to feast, can recall that many at times they are celebrating something, or, you know, "dancing under the moonlight". Although, do not be fooled by this care free nature. As followers of Aquila they are essentially the Goddess' go to race for making sure balance is in the world, and for the sake of balance most our used in ways to cause harm and disarray among the worlds they are sent to. This doesn't always mean that they're around to cause harm, many moon dancers even prefer to not feast on the blood of sentient races they visit, as they know one drink too many could cause someone anemia, or worse. They sometimes, even, on rare occasions, get used by Xia to help regulate the good part of balance in the world. Just keep one thing in mind when dealing with Moon Dancers: If they're alone then they're probably of no harm, but if they're in a group the something bad is about to happen.
Extra: Although their bite itself doe snot cause vampirism, it is possible to become one through the moon dancers that requires a secret ceremony. Just keep in mind that all who become vampires this way will not age physically past the day the ceremony was done, unlike the vampires who were born vampires who do age physically until they reach full maturity.
Name: Sun Warriors Other names: Followers of the White Koi
Home World: Soulion
Special Abilities: Sun warriors, as the name implies, are warriors of the sun. As such they are representatives of the Goddess Xia and are built to uphold the balance of good in the world wherever Xia's power can reach them. Meaning they gain power only while in direct sunlight, and loose their power while in darkness. These powers gained while in sunlight include enhanced strength, speed, agility, endurance, you know, pretty much ever physical aspect of them is enhanced. These enhancements ,while in sunlight, bring the Sun Warriors powers to beyond that of any mortal conception. They could knock out bears in one punch, take on an entire group of enemies while blindfolded, shoot an arrow farther and more precises than even the most practiced archers, but keep in mind that upon reaching an area without direct sunlight they will loose this power and become simple your average mortal man. Although, this lack of power is usually remedied by training, making them inhumanly powerful heroes of light during the day, and human level powerful warriors by night.
Appearance: All Sun Warriors look like they were born to be heroes. They are large, tall, muscular, and built athletically. Even the women are big, making them look almost like lost amazonian warriors. It is quite rare to see a sun warrior who isn't towering over anyone they are standing next to.
Cultural Description: Like the Goddess they follow the Sun Warriors are quite a strict race. They all follow a hero code that has been passed down vocally from generation to generation. This code is what all Sun Warriors follow, and is one that can cause one to be met by death if the rules are broken. They train all day, and only ever stop training if they are sent on a mission by their Goddess. This strict code they follow has caused many of the races to be distant to outsiders, as they usually do not expect outsiders to be able to keep up with their lifestyle and values. This makes many of them come off as snide and rude, but many hold their tongue when the sun sets.
Extra: As the Sun is their source of power, many sun warriors wear either very little cloths, or cloths with lots of holes in them in order to have more sunlight shine upon them. This is due to their power, obviously, rising the more sunlight that hits them. At the same time however, many Sun warriors choose to wear as much clothing as possible, as it allows them to prove that they are more powerful than their colleges as they need less sunlight to get the job done. This is usually seen as the younger warriors wear less to get more power, while the more practiced warriors are usually seen wearing full sets of armor. This also means you should watch out if a sun warrior ,whom is heavily armored, starts to remove their armor. It could mean that a powerful warrior is just removing the only thing constraining him from releasing the power of the sun.
Name: kan'eer (pronounced: can-ear)Home World: Enganthel
Special Abilities: they can change the weather, but not much. Maybe just moving a cloud or making a fluffy white cloud a storm cloud, or making it rain. They also have extremely good senses like cats. They are very good at jumping from tree to tree.
Appearance: basically look like humans, but they usually have whiskers, dark coloured eyes, and light, orange or red hair.
Cultural Description: they like lounging around and they usually eat meat. They are a wealthy race and have beautiful temples and bedazzled houses. They respect nature and don't usually harm it.

Name: Sprites
Home World: Annwn
Special Abilities: Each Sprite has an affinity over one of the four basic elements: Stone, Air, Water, and Fire. Stone includes metal(but not wood), air includes mist and smoke, water includes ice, and fire includes electricity. It is impossible to manipulate blood through water-bending. Some Sprites exhibit odd body parts, such as horns or wings. These are remnants of their fairy ability to shapeshift, long since lost.
Appearance: The tips of a Sprite's ears are very sensitive and can stimulate sexual arousal when touched, licked, kissed, or played with.
Cultural Description: Sprites are the indigenous people of Annwn, and are descended from the Fae. Most tribes of Sprites exhibit only one type of elemental bending, that is, a clan solely made up of water-bending Sprites or a clan of only fire-benders. Being born with a different elemental affinity often causes a child to be ostracized. Their powers are a remnant of the first Fae people to inhabit Annwn, who could manipulate the fifth element of Spirit, allowing them to channel energy. This was later diluted to elemental bending some several 100 years before the first Pixies colonized Annwn. Sprites live in the forests and marshes, in the deserts and mountains, far from Pixie civilizations, where they still practice their way of life. Sprites worship no god or goddess, but nature itself as a gender-less, nameless force. Some Sprites have converted to other faiths, and are often frowned upon by village elders, betraying their way of life.
Name: Pixie
Homeworld: Annwn
Special Abilities: Pixies have no inherit powers, but through the use of Pixie Dust, which they harvest from ore veins in Annwn's mines, they can perform magic, mostly manipulating the mind and emotions, seeing auras, reading and influencing the thoughts of others, spirit walking/astral projection, and prophetic visions. Pixie Dust, however, is very expensive, and only the rich can afford it. It is a ground-up, powered form of a diamond-like substance called Glamoury. Glamoury is akin to diamonds made from carbon, it is a refined form of an element referred to only as 'Dreams'. Dust comes in gold - the most valuable, silver - the cheapest, and colored - artificially made by alchemists called Dreamers or Dreamseers. Black Dust comes from 'Nightmares,' a highly volatile counter-element. It is like antimatter to the Dreams matter. Black Dust is more deadly and illegal to be sold, found only on the black market and dark alleyways, used for the high it gives and the deadly poison it can become when expired.
Appearance: Pixies look a lot like humans, but their hair and eye color can vary a great deal. Pixies, when in battle, adorn their body with woad, a form of blue body paint, often overlaid with silvery Pixie Dust, a much more cheaper and less potent variant of the golden Dust the wealthy use.
Cultural Description: Pixies colonized Annwn a century ago. Pixies are ruled by their women, the wives lead the household, the first born daughters get the most inheritance, and they are all ruled by a queen(the queen is to be rp'ed by me). Their royal family rules from the Fortress of Glass, Avalon. This royal family is said to have been created by the ejaculation of the god/dess of dreams and the Dreaming, the realm of sleep and the afterlife that exists outside of time in the Pixie's religion. When at war, the Pixies adorn themselves with woad and would decapitate their enemies, carrying it home and piling the rotting heads in the center of their towns and cities. Eventually, they will have a mound of skulls. After each year, the skulls are taken to the catacombs and used to fortify the tunnels. While the Pixies use the bones of their enemies to decorate their underground passages, they cremate their dead, putting their kings and queens on a boat and sending it toward Avalon's Isle, before lighting it on fire with a flaming arrow. The Pixies are shamanistic and animistic. Basically all Pixies are pansexual and polyamorous, with royals occasionally having incest - this is seen as sacred as it keeps their divine bloodline pure.
Name: Gwragedd Annwn (Wives of Annwn), occasionally called 'the Women' or the Ladies of the Lake in reference to those who live in Avalon's lake
Homeworld: Found only on Annwn, can not leave
Special Abilities: The Gwragedd are an aquatic species, having gills and fins. They are not mermaids, as they possess webbed hands and feet, not fish tails. They can kiss Sprite and Pixie men, giving them oxygen by essentially burping air into their lungs. Due to their large lungs, they are gifted singers.
Appearance:
Cultural Description: Gwragedd Annwn are the native inhabitants of Annwn, of both the planet and the continent. They once lived in the oceans, till the first maelstrom nearly killed off their species. They fled inland and became the first peoples to inhabit the land. It was their siren song that drew the Faeries - ancestors of the Sprites - to the shores of Annwn so many years ago. They also seduced the Pixies into staying on the land. They would take men as their husbands, taking into the depths to breed with them, then letting them go to struggle to get back to the surface before they drown. This species is all women, as their offspring are always full-blooded Gwragedd Annwn girls. Their eggs, when not fertilized by semen before they are flushed out during their menstral cycle, will hatch females. This is how they have survived when there were no other inhabitants of Annwn. Gwragedd Annwn prefer to reproduce with men as it is more pleasurable.

Most Kaiju either life in deep water, preferably the ocean trenches, or wherever their is high energy output.
Race History:originally evolving on Earth, frequent portals at the wrong time has sent many Kaiju to NetherWorld, where they found an environment filled with powerful energy and even more powerful opponents. the high energy, especially when compared to Earth, allowed the originally 50 meter Kaiju to become massive in size, the largest being 200 meters (currently).

Name: Void SpinnersHome World: Etern Tardor
Special Abilities: Void Walkers: Being born from Izar has allowed the Void spinners to be able o travel through the void in a similar fashion to Izar.

[Name] Aimur
[Life Span] Around 400
↳ Young: 0 - 50
↳ Adult: 51 - 350
↳ Elder: 351 +
[Home World] Enganthel
[Special Abilities]Most Aimur have the ability to withstand intense heat and are immune to fire. Some have the ability to conjure and wield flames as a weapon. Even fewer have the power of healing; those who end up with this are highly regarded and respected among other Aimur.
[Appearance]
Female Example: (view spoiler)
Male Example: (view spoiler)
The Aimur are generally tall creatures, ranging from seven feet to nine feet tall. Their features are very human-like, in terms of body structure and behavior. Aimur have darkened or tanned skin due to so much time in the sunlight. It isn't completely rare to see one with pale skin, especially when they're younger. Their hair can be a variety of color or length. Most have extremely long hair, as Aimur hair grows very fast. Horns aren't seen often, but also aren't impossible to have. Royals or Aimur of higher class are usually seen with horns. The ears are pointed at the tip, and can vary in size. Inside of their mouths lay very dense and dangerous teeth. The top and bottom canines are extremely sharp, but the back teeth are much more flat.
[Cultural Description]The Aimur are prideful creatures that believe that being high-class is the peak of life. They have a very laid-back society in terms of entertainment, but laws are strict. The young Aimur are well educated, but will rarely be taught to fight. Clothing is highly produced and finely sewn. During the season of Kurai and Yuki, the Aimur will retreat down their mountain kingdom and protect themselves in warm caves that are constantly lit by torches. When this happens, they go into a type of hibernation until Hikari comes back around. They would never come out of their caves unless in emergency, as lack of warmth will cause them to slowly parish.
[Name] Iomir
[Life Span] Around 250
↳ Young: 0 - 40
↳ Adult: 41 - 200
↳ Elder: 201 +
[Home World] Enganthel
[Special Abilities]Iomir are very acquainted with water and its properties to the point where most of them have adapted to breathe underwater. Very few can actually control water or bend it to their will. Those that can are highly regarded in society. However, a power that has only been seen once or twice within the nation is the ability to control darkness and the shadows it casts. Having an Iomir that can do this is considered a bad omen. The one with this ability is banished to the empty plain ahead of their home, as the power is associated with evil.
[Appearance]
Female Example: (view spoiler)
Male Example: (view spoiler)
The Iomir have a variety of heights, ranging from four feet to ten feet tall. Their body figure and behavior are very human-like. The Iomir skin can range from blue to black and usually filled with human-like blemishes, such as freckles or scars. Hair length is different for most, but hair color is usually black, blue, or hazel. Horns are only common among royals, but small, pointed ears are very common. Inside the mouth, they have sharp canines in the front, but flat teeth in the back. At the base of the tail bone is a tail. The tail is sometimes covered in scales, and depending on the hair color, that would be the color of the scales. But, sometimes the tail can also resemble that of a cat or fox. Along the neck are three slits on either side. Most Iomir have gills to breathe underwater with.
[Cultural Description]The Iomir are creatures that strive for peace among their society. Rules and laws are extremely strict, and any disorderly conduct can result in banishment, isolation, or even death. The royals want a perfectly organized community, in hopes that will keep everyone in line. Though, it doesn't mean that entertainment is restricted. The Iormir throw plenty of festivals that celebrate their birth and youth. Clothing is imported from the Aimur nation, so it is finely sewn. During Yuki and Hikari, the Iomir retreat into underground tunnels to avoid the unbearable heat and cold. If they're exposed to the sun's light and cold for too long, they could easily parish.
[Name] Seirxun
[Life Span] Around 100
↳ Young: 0 - 13
↳ Adult: 14 - 60
↳ Elder: 61 +
[Home World] Enganthel
[Special Abilities]This species has the ability to withstand great cold. They are well adapted to it to the point of where they can barely feel it. The power to actually control the cold and it's properties is practically unheard of, but rumors are still spread across the colonies of the first Seirxun and his ability.
[Appearance]
Female Example: (view spoiler)
Male Example: (view spoiler)
These creatures are a bit short, ranging from four feet to six feet tall. Their body figure and behavior are very human-like. Seirxun skin is usually extremely pale, to the point of where they could blend in with the snow that covers the ground. Hair can vary in length, but is usually black, pale grey, or white, no matter the age. Small horns at the stop of the head are quite common, as are pointed, large ears. Inside the mouth, they have sharp canines in the front, but flat teeth in the back. At the base of the tail bone is a small, thin, lizard-like tail. The tail is usually covered in scales, and depending on the hair color, that would be the color of the scales.
[Cultural Description]The Seirxun have a hard-working society that they strive to keep thriving. Their colonies in the freezing plains are hard to keep up, as most foods die off or go into hiding during the harsh season. However, the Seirxun don't let the season stop them from giving up. Small groups go out hunting during Hikari and Kurai to provide for the rest of the Seirxun. Clothing is woven as best they can by hand, and has a tribal look to it. Going out in Hikari is the most dangerous, however, as too much exposure to sunlight and heat can lead to death. Young Seirxun are trained to hunt as early as just a few years old. Fighting and stealth are also taught, as it is thought that they will one day take back their land from the Aimur.
