The Forgotten Planes
The Forgotten Planes are a special place. It is said that in this realm, separate from ours is a magical place. In this place the fundamental forces of our universe come together as living things, sentient species. They would live our their lives here until they felt it prudent to interact with the beings in other dimensions.
Ancient Druids would call this place "The Forgotten Planes" and label it a sacred place. A place completely without the influence of mortal kind. Where the elements came together to act as one. A primal world like no other. A place that was everywhere, and no where.
However, certain scientists believe that these "Forgotten Planes" are merely the remnants of a world that befell some strange experience that sent it into a limbo dimension. Of course, no one is sure how the inhabitants would then become elementals.
Whichever one is right, it is a real place. It is a place of wonder and magic, and home to some of the most interesting beings one might come across.

7th
No one understands 7th, no one knows how or why it came to be. There are those who believe that 7th is a living entity of itself, swallowing all things it comes across like a giant beast. There are others who believe it might be an echo, a place that was once just like Earth consumed by war and darkness. There are also those who believe it to be a special portal build by The Abyssal Ones long ago before they lost it.
Regardless of what it is, this planet is strange. It roams galaxy, swallowing everything into itself. A giant mirror that no one truly understand. Within it, is an entire universe....but this universe is in ruin, there is no life within it other a few remaining races, and of course...The Abyssal Ones. Only the Abyssal Ones understand this world as it is, but the other two are the last remaining forms of life within in.
Worlds within a world, and all like our own only cracked, broken, and destroyed. Who knows. But now things have started to come out of it, so far only races we can deal with, for everyone has a common enemy right?
Technological Level: Classical, Hyper-advanced, and Forbidden
Biome: Strange
Government Type: Council
Native Races
============================================================
Exitar
Exitar are winged beings from a world lost to the influence of the Abyssal ones. Most of them live within 7th, and within 7th they live in a world of clouds and light forever fighting the dark beings within their own world.
Exitar are very humanoid, in fact they themselves believe they are simply a form of human evolved to fight The Abyssal Ones until they are either wiped out or, they achieve victory. No one is sure of this, but no one really argues. They look like angels and many of them carry a strong sense of justice though.
Powerful beings they wield a magic that the world has never seen, but understand little outside of their broken reality. Who knows what these beings truly are.
Life-Span: 1 - 300 Yrs
Special Abilities:
Purified Force:
Purified force is a strange type of magic, one that is capable of harnessing the goodness within the hearts of others and turning it into a weapon. It is very powerful when they are surrounded by what might be defined as "Purity", but it weakens in the presence of evil.
Special Bonus:
[Victory or Death]: Exitar become stronger when they are near death with them gaining +10 to every state within 10 points of losing all health.
[Touch of Justice]: Exitar can turn every weapon they have into a holy weapon that does great damamge to those of "Evil" alignment.
Restrictions:
None
Weakness:
They take a x2 increase in damage from evil characters.
Legus
The Legius are sinister creatures who live within 7th, and within 7th they live underground within a planet called "Myral" a dead planet with little to offer but protection against the ungodly horrors within and secrets to lost technology.
Legius are battle-ready creatures of great strength and number. They tend to live in the shadows, rarely ever seeing the sun within their own world. They are not exactly evil, but unlike the Exitar they do not rely upon holy powers....but forsaken powers and technology.
The Legius are basically what we might call demons, and they come in many shapes and sizes with many functions and needs. They however are not angelic. While far from being the hideous creatures we think they are, they are quite often ruthless due to how their society functions now. Their ways brought them into war with the Exitar before they entire world was thrown into chaos from the arrival of The Abyssal Ones.
They wield a forsaken power, and use technology to fight. They have entered into an uneasy alliance with the Exitar and the other remaining races in order to combat this threat. Time will tell whether they remain allies or not.
Life-Span: Immortal
Special Abilities:
Corrupted Light:
The Legius actually wield a form of light magic that has been corrupted long ago. It does nothing but bring harm, and the more darkness they have around them the more effective it is. It does great damage to the Abyssal Ones.
Special Bonus:
[War Tech]: Legius are able to improve upon weapons with only a few days of study and make them more powerful. They can only do it once though to each piece of technology.
[Life in the Shadows]: When in Darkness, they gain the ability to see as through it were somehow day. This however causes complication with actual light as they must somehow compensate.
Restrictions: None
Weakness: None
Children of the Deep
Not everything The Abyssal Ones touches becomes corrupted and grotesque. The Children of The Abyss are actually spawned from the corrupted ones, and instead any of them have seen the horrors their progenitors inflict and are horrified.
This has led them to ally with the others in order to fight with their creators and maybe set right what has happened within 7th, before they can also do it to any other worlds.
They are very powerful indeed with access to the same ability as their progenitors, just not as strong, but enough to make them a great tool.
Life-Span: Immortal
Special Abilities:
Whispers of the Outsiders:
(Each Child can come up with one word that creates an effect of their choosing)
Special Bonus:
[Rebel against the Father]: Children of the Abyss are able to completely resist the corrupting whispers.
Restrictions:
None
Weakness:
People designed to fight against the Abyssals also work on them.
Ballel
What happens when an Exitar lays with a Legius? We get Ballel, the Fallen Spawn. These beings are born between Exitar and Legius. They are not as angelic, nor as demonic as their parentage and are often forsaken because of their heritage.
Ballel are like fallen angels more than the are the other type of half-breeds and carry only a fraction of the power, but they are quite effective at healing that which cannot be healed so people tolerate them.
One might think is a ruined world all things would be set aside. Apparently not.
Life-Span: 1 - 70 Yrs
Special Abilities:
Healing Soul:
Ballel are one of the few races in the world capable of healing damage down to the soul.
Special Bonus:
[Forsaken Walk]: Ballel are resistant to magics founded in {Good} and {Evil}
Restrictions:
None
Weakness:
None

GH-7873-IOP "Haven"
GH-7873-IOP is a planet unlike any other. It is a planet of fun, or carelessness. It is one that many people go to when they just want to have fun and other rather questionable things. It isn't lawless, but it isn't really concerned with being as lawful as the other planets are.
Because of how it is it does call itself "Haven" and a number of races make their place here in order to get away from the havoc, wars, and other depressing things going on in the universe.
It only joined the alliance because it needed protection, and while it does have some form of military, it is mostly a place for bounty hunters, drifters, gamblers, and other fairly seedy types.
Technological Level: Hyper-advanced
Biome: Mega Cities
Government Type: President
Native Races
============================================================
Shrike
The Shrike are an interesting race. Born in the desert of a long gone planet they escaped to Haven a long time ago. Shrikes are a lot like humans, only the males of their species are very rare, but they seem to be naturally born with the ability to create "Soul Armaments" often in the form of firearms of many different kinds.
They helped found Haven, defended it from other crime families and so are often under employ. Many of them are found through the universe as mercenaries or guards. They are mostly identified by their ability, and the birthmark that burns itself onto their neck at birth. It is said that when a Shrike reaches a certain age, they gain a natural affinity with an animal that will be with them forever.
One thing is for sure, its a tough race.
Life-Span: 1 - 60 Yrs
Special Abilities:
Armament Creation:
Shrikes are able to create a single weapon of their choice. This weapon is bound to them and can be summoned at any time. However they are unable to wield any other weapon as a result.
Special Bonus:
[Animal Bond]: Bond with 1 (attainable) animal of their choosing if they are 20 or older. It can even be an animal person (Player permission required), and when they do so both they and the animal gain a permanent [+4] to all their attack stats when they are around one another.
Restrictions: Can only spec into classes that fits their armament
Weakness: None
Lunarian
Okay how did they end up here? Well it seems that the Moon did at least have one race on it at some point, but they were driven off by the martians.
Lunarians are a wonderful people really, with a natural affinity for magic that few other races can really match, but their nature makes them mostly peaceful and so they often employ themselves as healers.
Lunarians settled on Haven after the Martians....were martians and have become a staple ever since, though unfortunately their somewhat passive natures have placed many of them in a serving role many times with few actually having authority.
Life-Span: 1- 99 Yrs
Special Abilities: None
Special Bonus:
[Magical Affinity]: Lunarians get a {+6} to their attack roll so long as they are using magic.
[Servitude does have its rewards.]: Lunarians gain a further (+6) to their attack rolls if they are in the service of someone.
Restrictions: None
Weakness: None

Vampires
We all know about vampires. Blood-sucking creatures of the night. But what no one knows, is where vampirism actually came from. Legends say it came from an ancient race who engaged in ritual sacrifice, when this planet was attacked a priestess aid that their people would forever live on in the form a strange virus that hops from planet to planet infecting people.
Of course, no one but the oldest people in the universe know if this is true or not, but Vampires just those inflicted with this mysterious disease. Now there is two versions of vampirism as there are two strain of this virus.
The "Ae" strain actually does not kill its host. Instead it lives on as a sort of parasite, making its host much stronger in return for that host feasting on blood and feeding it.
The "Mort" virus actually kills its host. However, it does reanimate, but the original host is dead and instead the Mort virus somewhat supplants the original. While often time it is a near perfect copy, the being inside the body is dead and what is left is a lie.
