Races (By Type)

ANGELS
Guardian races created by ancient powers to uphold the virtues of good, protecting mortals and driving off evil where they find it, such as their arch-enemies the demons.

Angels are so infused with good that they are automatically considered good creatures for the purposes of abilities like Dark Attack that target them, even if they are attempting to do something evil.

Creatures in this category include...

Angel - Earth
Angel - Eldritch
Angel - Fire
Angel - Ice
Angel - Light
Angel - Lightning
Angel - Shadow
Angel - Water
Angel - Wind
Khamele

AUTOMATONS
Automatons are creatures created from previously non-living matter. They are distinct from undead in that they were never alive, and typically have in common that the animating force responsible for them is thoroughly alien, such as a magic spell or technological device.

Golems, which can be created with Animate Pawn, are considered automatons.

Creatures in this category include...

Cogs
Dolls

DEMONS
The mirror opposite of angels, demons are depraved creatures of ultimate evil, seeking to tear down the world and return everything to a state of nothingness, from the likes of which legend claims they first sprung.

Demons are so tainted with evil that they are automatically considered evil creatures for the purposes of abilities like Light Attack that target them, even if they are attempting to do something good.

Creatures in this category include...

Demons
Gluttons
Imps
Succubi

DRAGON-KIN
Creatures of myth and legend, dragons hail back to ancient times in many worlds. Dragon-kin are, as a group, dragons themselves and creatures closely descended from them.

Creatures in this category include...

Balaurians
Dragons
Gargoyles
Yaips

EXTRATERRESTRIALS
Creatures that are not native to the world. In order to become a native race, by criteria of this system, a race must have settled on a world long enough to populate to such a degree as to become known to other races as common, or have existed in an area for at least a few generations (60 years).

Because they are not from this world, extraterrestrials are not traditionally bound by the gods of the world they visit, but other alien gods may be responsible for them. Should they die while visiting another world, extraterrestrials find themselves in an afterlife corresponding to their own world's mythology. In this manner, all characters visiting another world temporarily become extraterrestrials.

HUMANOIDS
Generally speaking, a humanoid is a mostly non-magical creature with the same general shape and size as a human, although some variations may and do occur. As a type, they are generally the "mortal" races created by the gods, and in whom the most potential for growth may be found. This, however, is wrought with exceptions; there are mortals of many other types, and while humanoids most often breed individuals that change the world, such persons of any type may be known.

ANIMISMS
Animisms, sometimes known as fey (although that word refers more specifically to sylvan animisms), are nature spirits that inhabit the wild areas of the world. They are most typically bound to the area they inhabit, either through a supernatural link or a psychological need to be there. Note that the term "spirit" is disassociated from its modern context in that they need not be unliving or even disembodied (many nature spirits are commonly confused for humanoids and may even be able to interbreed with them). The term simply refers to their spiritual status; humanoids possess a duality between their souls and bodies that supersedes both, while animisms return to nature when they die and are thereafter spawned again.

Creatures in this category include...

Centaurs
Elves
Fairy
Gnomes
Grasslanders
Guardian Beast
Kitsune
Merfolk
Phoenix

PRIMITIVES
Close cousins to humanoids, primitives are proto-human races or bestial creatures that, according to legend, were created from humans by the gods.

Creatures in this category include...

Goblins
Eidolon
Minotaurs
Werewolf
Yeti

UNDEAD
These once-living creatures have somehow superseded death itself and returned to the world of the living. The undead are most typically created from humanoids, whose dual soul allows them to decide their own fates even after death, but the dark powers responsible for such a perversion of nature may affect even nature itself, and so undead of any type save automatons are theoretically possible.

Creatures in this category include...

Deathmage
Dhampir
Graveborn
Mummies
Revenants
Spirits
Vampire
Wraiths
