Welcome to Gaia! ::

Of course in the Underworld there are races that are naturally superior to the others. Each with their own lore and history in the Underworld.

Dragon: Easily one of the most powerful of races thanks to their elemental variability. Dragons have been powerful creatures since before the first civilizations and are incredibly difficult to defeat without the right tactics, magic, weaponry and infantry. They're only weakness would be to match their element with their opposite, like with fire you need water. Once upon a time they controlled all the Underworld with their superior power but then a single demon united the lands and overthrew them. This demon became the very first Overlord and his powerful aura was scattered like a storm across all the 9 hell's for everyone to share and pass down to their born to make sure that nothing like the dragons reign would happen again. They are able to take a humanoid form and a full dragon form however cross-bred dragons are often unable to use a full dragon form because of how unrefined they're power is then. Dragon's aren't without series weaknesses however as there has been weapon types SPECIFICALLY developed to kill Dragons. Not only that but using too much of a dragons power can wear them down very, very quickly. Handle with care!

Cubi: Cubi's are often referred to by the genders. Succubi, Incubi and Omnibi. This race, while not entirely the most powerful, are the most "charming". Every Cubi is born with the ability to hypnotize anything and anyone below they're power. This is known as their 'Charm' ability. Now I know what your thinking. They don't just feed off of sexual energy. They feed off blood too. Kind of like vampires only Cubi's are more likely to leave you alive. The Cubi's originally lived in a really hot climate not to far from the lands the dragons reigned. In ancient times, succubi were seen as the ultimately superior gender and after the end of the dragon reign attempted to wage war against the First Overlord and young Kidas. This was how diplomacy was discovered in Kidas as the First Overlord was once captured and interrogated by the first Succubi Queen. After several attempts they soon managed to find many things in common. The Queen soon realized this war was kinda stupid and ended it, freeing the Overlord and soon even becoming the First Overlords wife.

Impi: Most would expect Imp's to be small, red and otherwise devilish but that's only in the Earth world. In the Underworld they are like Humans. Generally common and variably adaptive and of course they're skin tone is as variable as humans. They also have devil wings. They say that the first Overlord was Impi too but that was so looooooooooooong ago that no ones quite sure anymore. Like humans, Impi are good at getting stronger reasonably quicker than most other races. Originally Imp's were a race of slaves and nothing more before the First Overlord appeared. They were intelligent enough to find out how to overthrow the dragons and soon come up to found Kidas. Some would call them the "Standard" race but that would be a little racist.

Anuban: Anuban's are a canine race of course varying on wolves, foxes, jackals, etc. They have great instinct and a good sense of smell however they seem to get hungry much quicker than most other races and sometimes, when starving or in serious danger, they become feral and uncontrollable and will likely attack anything they instinctively deem a threat, including allies. They can also howl to let others know their there though this can come off as a fore-warning to unready enemies or a way of communicating. The Anuban's came from the North where the snow blanketed continent of Kharnon lies. They found Kidas in an exploration effort to find the more life in the rest of the Underworld. It came as a surprise when they found us as they were under the impression at the time that they were the only sentient race in the world. To this day the exploration effort is still happening and everyone has a chance to uncover something incredible.

Neko: Neko's are a feline race. Much like the Anuban's they vary in type just as much with fur color, pattern and density. Neko's have remarkably good eye-sight especially in dark spaces. They also have remarkable agility however they aren't very strong or tough unless they train in certain ways. Not only that but they sometimes have a tendency to frighten some people when they're fur puff's up when they detect a threat. This can be use'd to scare off cowardly enemies. When all else fails they of course have claws though they aren't considerably dangerous if enemies are wearing leather or metal armor. They reign a nation much deeper eastward after a rebellion against the Shokeran Empire over a tens of thousands years ago during the time of the First Overlord. When they attempted expansion into Kidas they were quickly pushed back which nearly resulted in a war. It took till the age of the 3rd Overlord before they finally calmed down and decided to expand somewhere else.

Shokeran: A reptilian race again like the Neko's or Anubans varying in skin tone and skull protrusions. Shokerans are like the younger brothers of the dragons only instead of large, somewhat scary horns they have small protrusions in they're skull. They also can't breath or control any type of element. What's good about this race is that they are generally cold blooded and can practically do marathons in hot environments where people would normally be exhausted in mere hours. They also possess the ability to change they're skin like camouflage however it doesn't work as well when wearing heavy armor. They are also immune to poison and toxin and there are some types of Shokeran that can breath under water. Not all of them though. What's bad however is that they are significantly more effected by cold environments and on average have a poor sense of smell. Shokeran's are refuges from the far, far, FAR East when the Neko's reigned in the nation they came from ordered all Shokeran's out or be executed. When they were unable to go much further the First Overlord offered them a place in Kidas. They are allowed back in now that by gones are by gones however they aren't as highly regarded anymore.

Ork: Ork's are actually very variable in many types however they're skin color mostly ranges from light green to dark green. What's make them special in variability is that some Ork's can grow up and train to be geniuses in craftmenship. Others can be very tough and strong and often enjoy a damn good battle but end up being kinda dumb. They're intelligence or strength doesn't really depend on they're upbringing. It's just what they become one way or another.Of course Ork's back then lived in large savage tribes using the bones of their enemies to craft furniture or weapons. It wasn't until the second Overlord had some of the tribes eradicated that they then began forming in with Kidas's normal society. The Ork's originated in Fielder's Planes which is now known as the Valley of Abominations since the Spell Break Plague broke out.

Goblin: Kind of the little brothers of the Ork's. Goblin's are very similar to them. Green skin and everything only what they're good at is different. They often find themselves very good at alchemical properties developing potions of many types ranging from rejuvenation to invisibility or toughness to poison. What they also find themselves good at is magic. Savage goblin tribes back in ancient times lived in caves or outskirts following the lead of goblins with magic power. Of course times have changed and now most live to be significantly more sophisticated. Some even call them the gentlemanly brother to the Ork's. The Goblin's originated in the Marsh Lands which is currently known as the Domain of the Wild Hunt since the nation of Crucix invaded and deployed in that territory since the assassination of the 8th Overlord.

Minotaur: Minotaur's are a brash, brooding and super strong race. Only the Minotaur's that are smart enough to communicate and live among society are the ones that don't become colossal and smash everything in they're path like savage beasts. They often end up struggling through doorways too small for them and, much like the Ork's, enjoy any kind of battle. The problem with them is that they cannot wear leather or metal armor and their hands are too big to carry one handed weapons so they can only use two-handed weapons like battleaxes or broadswords. Most would think that Minotaur's are a strictly male race, but don't worry, their are females too. Back in ancient times they're use't to be massive fortresses built for Minotaurs to live however when any other race entered it they easily got lost. To them it was like a labyrinth but the Minotaur's didn't have much trouble navigating it. The mystery as to how Minotaur's navigate mazes remains a mystery to this day.
Like Goblins,Ork's or Dragons. Minotaur's are native to Kidas and when they began becoming more intelligent they also formed in with Kidas's society. Well... most of them did anyway. The Minotaur's originated in the Fielder's Planes province which is now known as the Valley of Abominations ever since the spell break plague broke out.

Ashen: Ashen's are basically Ash Elves who reside in the Ashen Sultinate. The Ashlands were formed when the volcano erupted for the first time during the reign of the sixth Overlord. The lava did not pour down towards the Sultanate however the ash cloud swept across it. Changing a portion of Kidas into an ash desert. The Ash Elves are exactly as you'd expect from an Elven race only their skin is significantly more pale due to living in Ash for so long and like every other race of elves they are extraordinarily charming, witty and flexible. They're often thought of as the sort of larcenist race as they often beat everyone else out in terms of trade value. The Sultanate would be the richest province of Kidas if the Seventh Overlord and the Dragonblood empire weren't more sophisticated and difficult to bargain with.

Drow: Better known as Dark Elves. Drow originally use'd to live in the Marshes in small secluded but otherwise sophisticated cities before Crucix invaded and turned it into the Domain of the Wild Hunt. Chasing the Drow out to take refuge in the other civilizations. Like the Ashens, Drow Elves are charming although they can often be a bit gloomy sometimes. However Drow Elves aren't very flexible or witty. Instead they are very magically attuned and have larger amount of energy to use. They say that the wife of the fifth Overlord was actually a Drow Elf.

Cross: Of course there is no law that says no one is allowed to love a different race. Cross Bred Races are basically, as the name says, people that are bred between two races. Like with a Shokeran and a Neko you'd get a Shokeko. Of course it would be a bit silly to name every possible cross race so we simply refer to them as Cross'. The features of being a Cross are incredibly varied depending on the parents of the cross. If you had an Impi and an Neko you'd get a Cross partially covered with fur and skin with a devils tail and cat ears. Or if you had an Anuban with a Cubi you'd get a Cross with dog ears and tail with bat wings and succubi horns. Of course Cross' abilities are affected by the cross breeding too. If you cross bred a Anuban with a Cubi the, let's say, sense of smell on the Anuban part of the off spring wouldn't be as good as a pure Anuban. Or their ability to Charm wouldn't last as long on people. Of course the first ever cross bred child was the son of the First Overlord and Succubi Queen. (If your character is planned to be a Cross then you should put in what it's a cross off. E.g. Dragon/Shokeran.
