Humans

**Humans**, also known as **Earthlings**, were a race of creatures mostly residing in the Third Period. Originating from the Second Period, humanity escaped its destruction and repopulated a "new" planet, forming various civilizations over the course of history.

## History

### Early History

Humans originally prospered in the First Period, becoming technologically advanced enough to create a digital world known as the "Second Period". In the Second Period, online avatars known as "earthlings" developed various technological and scientific advancements as well. Later on, the humans of the First Period created a crisis for the earthlings in the form of Hereditary Evil Raiser Syndrome, which became widespread amongst the population, eventualy reducing it by two-thirds.

Faced with the eventual destruction of their world, several earthling scientists boarded the spaceship "Climb One" to search for habitable planets. As the Climb One lost contact with their fellow spaceships, it was brought into reality by Behemo Barisol; its crew eventually decided to create a new race of humans to repopulate the world they had seemingly discovered, really the destroyed Earth.

### New Beginning

By BT 528, the earthlings developed a new race of humans, specifically under the direction of Levia and Behemo. At some point during the process, Seth Twiright contaminated the new humans to potentially develop HERS. These humans then began populating the Third Period's continents.

Humans eventually developed farming, writing, and the use of magic. After a quarrel caused the Climb One to crash, leaving several earthlings' spirit data trapped inside, the Third Period humans excavated and congregated around the crash site, founding the Levin religion and building the powerful Magic Kingdom Levianta around the ruined Climb One.

Humanity continued to construct numerous civilizations that developed into large sovereign powers, one of the most prominent being the Tasan Empire. Around five centuries after the country's creation, the Magic Kingdom's queen, Alice Merry-Go-Round, established the Evillious Calendar. Due to the influence of Seth Twiright, HERS continued to spread throughout the population.

In EC 13, the Magic Kingdom was destroyed in the Levianta Catastrophe. Sometime after, the Tasan Empire collapsed as well, eventually being swallowed by the quickly growing Beelzenian Empire.

### Medieval Era

Eventually the Beelzenian Empire dominated the Bolganio continent, encompassing two-thirds of its landmass. In EC 136, a string of disappearances perpetuated by Duke Sateriasis Venomania took place in Beelzenia's Asmodean territory and gained international concern. Less than a century later, Asmodean declared independence in EC 212. In EC 301, the ruins of the Magic Kingdom were refounded as Holy Levianta and subsequently repopulated.

In EC 325, civil conflict erupted in Beelzenia due to the apostasy of Duke Banica Conchita; Asmodean then declared war on the empire. After the prolonged conflict, both countries were left in tatters by EC 399. That same year, Beelzenia's Lucifenia territory declared independence. During the EC 470s, Lucifenia began warring with both Asmodean and Beelzenia, becoming the new dominant power by EC 490.

During that period, the Beelzenian population was ravaged by the "Purio Disease". In EC 499, Marlon's populace suffered from a famine under the reign of King Kyle Marlon. Later that year, the monarch directed an attack on the Kingdom of Elphegort. As a result of the following Marlon Revolution, the kingdom was colonized by Lucifenia. Adopting a policy of imperialism, Lucifenia invaded both Asmodean and Beelzenia a second time in EC 505 before the war abruptly ended.

### Enlightenment Era

In EC 508, Holy Levianta suffered from terrorist attacks perpetrated by "Neo Apocalypse". Two years later, Lucifenia gave sovereignty back to Marlon, with the former kingdom reorganizing itself as a republic. In EC 573, the nations of Bolganio agreed to the establishment of the World Police. Decades later in EC 592, the continent of Maistia was discovered and subsequently colonized by the Freezis Foundation for trade.

In EC 609, the population of Toragay was decimated by Mayrana Weingartner, causing international tensions to rise; immediately after, a string of murders in Rolled perpetuated by Frederica Coates raised similar fears. In EC 776, Maistia declared independence and later became known as the United States of Maistia.

### Modern Era

In EC 842, the tailor Kayo Sudou murdered several people in Enbizaka, Jakoku, creating severe unrest in the eastern country. In EC 878, the nations of Lucifenia, Elphegort, Marlon and Levianta signed the "Aishikeru Treaty" in an effort of solidarity, coming together to form the Union State of Evillious. A century later, corruption seeped into its justice system, reaching its highest point during the Dark Star Scandal caused by Garrick Lucif and eventually leading to the Leviantan Civil War in EC 983.

In EC 993, Elphegort invaded Lucifenia and all of Bolganio was pulled into a global war. In EC 999, the leader of Elphegort, Fuhrer Themis Sudou, launched the weapon "Atonement" across the world, destroying all life in the Third Period.

## Biology and Appearance

### Earthlings

Existing in the digital reality of the Second Period, earthlings were similar to their real-life counterparts in terms of physical appearance and biology, having been modeled off the humans of the First Period. Comprised of a body and soul, earthlings had an intellect much more advanced than their creators. This allowed them to produce highly advanced scientific innovations, create artificial life, discover parallel worlds, and even achieve reincarnation. Despite this apparent intellect, there were also cases of extreme abnormality in terms of mental behavior. Compounding this, they also had the capacity to develop HERS, whether through genetics or other factors.

### Humans

Humans in the Third Period were designed to be identical to earthlings in terms of their physical ability, cognitive skills, and biology. As part of this, many of their traits had a tendency to carry on through multiple generations, if not influenced by an outside source. When the rules of the Third Period began breaking down, human genetics became illogical and led to parents conceiving children who looked nothing like them, or who weren't human at all.

Similarly, humans could be born with magical potential, making them suited to learning and performing magic techniques; this could either be an inherited trait or given to artificially-created humans, though the potential weakend with each subsequent generation. Some humans also had the possibility of developing HERS through a variety of factors.

## List of Races

### Almoga Mobarez

**Almoga Mobarez** was a race of humans native to Asmodean, characterized by their medium-toned skin, black hair and black eyes; they were also known for wearing masks to prevent exposing their faces in most public settings. Although a racial minority, they were generally tolerated within the borders of Asmodean, although some moved to other nations despite the possibility of discrimination.

### Asmodean

**Asmodean** was a race of humans native to Asmodean. Due to the country's geographical placement and history, Asmodeans were diverse in appearance. As part of this, they ranged in hair colors from silver to purple. They also varied in skin color, with members having both pale or dark tones.

### Black Valkyria

**Black Valkyria** was a race of humans native to Maistia. They were characterized by their brown skin and dark hair, and were mostly enslaved by the powers of the Bolganian nations.

### Elphe

**Elphe** was a race of humans native to Elphegort. Modeled after Held Yggdra's human form in the Second Period, they were known for their pale skin, green hair and green eyes. Despite their homogenity, they could still be born with varying appearances, such as different shades of hair. In EC 500, a significant portion of this population was wiped out during the war between Elphegort and Marlon. Although not as intolerant as other races, Elphes were largely known for their discrimination of foreign ethnicities.

### Jakokuese

**Jakokuese** was a race of humans native to Jakoku. Its members were characterized by their light tan skin and black hair. They were known for their outright intolerance of foreigners within their country, even being more discriminatory than Elphes; this intolerance could sometimes devolve into outright bigotry.

### Loop Octopus

**Loop Octopus** was a race of humans native to the Magic Kingdom Levianta and its successor state, Holy Levianta. They were characterized by their pale skin and pink hair. Members of the Loop Octopus Clan were also inheritors of Rahab, giving them prophetic dreams. Following the Levianta Catastrophe, a majority of the clan's members were wiped out, though there were a few survivors that eventually assimilated into the Asmodean population.

### Lucifenian

**Lucifenian** was a race of humans native to Lucifenia. Owing to its history, Lucifenians were diverse in appearance and could have widely-varying hair and eye colors, though blond hair was slightly more common.

Due to their previous history of terrorism during the BT era, they suffered from extreme persecution and slowly dwindeled in number, although eventually experiencing a resurgence after EC 500.

### Orthodox Lucifenian

**Orthodox Lucifenian** was a race of humans native to Lucifenia. They were characterized by their pale skin, blond hair and blue eyes, due to being descendants of the Lucif twins born during Project 'MA'.
