Lilins were class of artificially created beings that were native to Kaosetika, originating in the Kernal grounds. Their name is derived from their creator Lilita's common name and includes any being created by her, as to distinguish from other Kaosetikan beings. While usually taking humanoid shape due to Lilita's fascination with the human body, they came in various forms, ranging from unipedal to octopedal or more.

## Appearance and biology

All Lilins were characterised by 1-6 horns and a tail, either hairy or spaded, and pointy ears, which Lilita considered to be the distinguishing traits of her creations despite demon-like features being a very common trope among the Life-givers of Kaosetika. The remaining traits were completely at the whim of Lilita. Some Lilins had bat-like leather wings, some had abnormally long tongues.

Under normal circumstances, they generally had a lower body temperature than humans, to be more adaptable to the cold climate of Kaosetika.

They could come in any combination sex characteristics, hermaphrodite Lilins being a common occurence, but for crossing Lilita usually designed male-appearing ones.

The natural lifespan of Lilins is still unknown. Within the Kernal Grounds their death was largely up to Lilita, who’d either watch them tear each other apart in gladiator-esque battles or kill them out of boredom herself. Others tended to die around their 60s due to intense physical labour and exhaustion, and those that crossed to others planes averaged anywhere from 20 to 300 years depending on the dimension.

Lilins had a hard time digesting carbohydrates. It is unknown why that was the case.

### Humanoids

Humanoid Lilins were the most common kind of Lilin, as Lilita found the human form fascinating and attractive. Humanoid were usually thin and muscular, although corpulent individuals were known to exist outside of the Kernal Grounds.

Only humanoids were allowed to cross dimensions. Because of Lilita’s ego and desire to have her “basic demon” creations recognised as her original work, she would brand those meant to cross with text on their backs. The precise wording has changed numerous times, but the general translation usually read “it is the child (pet) of Lilita”, referring to the Lilin in question as an object.

Humanoid Lilins and humans could breed to create a hybrid of the two species, half-Lilins, which were native to the Human Plane. Although, because Lilita frequently experimented with genetic reforms in her humanoid creations, the compatibility of the two species was completely unpredictable and could result in severe deformations and health issues.

### Monstrosities

Occasionally Lilita experimented with non-human forms, creating beings of horrifying nature.

## Culture

All Lilins were in some way created to serve Lilita, either to perform taxing physical labour or to exist solely for her entertainment. As a result, obedience and servitude were the key values of Lilin culture.

## Purposing

Being an artificial species, all Lilins would be created with a purpose in mind. Some were meant to work physical labour, some some to be Lilita’s personal servants, others to be mere toys for entertainment (the most common fate for monstrosities) or even sexual gratification.

However, their initial purpose was not set in stone, and with some minor tweaking could be changed. Repurposing was usually used when changing a Lilin’s original role to be fit for crossing.

There’s only one known Lilin, David Viriye, who has been made specifically with a different dimension in mind and was not repurposed before changing dimensions.

## Notable individuals

* Kalcain Viriye, first known Lilin to reside in Foreaft, Human Plane.
* David Viriye (later Hesspet and Reuven), Lilin created to cross into the Human Plane. He is also the father of the first known Foreaftian half-Lilin.
* Arsaces Augustus Viriye, a four-horned Lilin that initially acted as a messenger between Lilita and other law-givers, later repurposed to cross into the Human Plane. Arsaces was also the father of the half-Lilin Joy.
