Species

Humans are the first type of souls introduced by a Real God (gods that usual people can communicate with through metal) called The Weaver. Human souls are simple - once they die the weaver weaves their soul strings into new life and there were no problems. They are just normal people with normal soul strings and cores and they can string weave if they learn how to.

Ayiral is a normal person (like a human) but with wings. They have a normal soul string and core like humans, meaning that they don't have much special properties. They have a harder time learning magic and tend to be more physically fit than humans but have a shorter lifespan. They can be distinguished through properties such as wings, pointy ears, talons and a tail. So far in the story, we have only seen ayiral people in Vana.

Reapers are founded on the base of humans by The Weaver, and have unique soul strings and core. They were created by The weaver in order to balance out the work done by necromancers (people who work with the souls) and make sure that the dead remain dead. However, they disobeyed The Weaver in their job and were forced to hunt on living souls rather than dead ones. They have white hair, pale skin, eyes ranging from light blue to dark grey, claws and black blood. Their eyes are a light blue when they have hunted on animal blood, but become darker and darker the longer they do not hunt. When they become really dark, they begin to lash out on any living thing for sustenance. They cannot string weave or do magic unless acqueri people facilitate it. They are not born like normal humans but rather spawn in "special" locations often referred to as "shrines". Reapers are made up of soul energy left on the Middle Plane when stray souls die. They must feed on the blood of living things in order to be sustained but do not require normal nutrition as humans do. They have a lot of physical resistance and fast healing by command. They age normally until they are around 25, then live for as long as they remain fed on human blood. Their blood is black and healer's blood is dangerous to them. They fully disappear when they die.

Acqueri people have similar properties to fishes such as funky ears, webbed hands and feet and gills. They have normal soul strings and core. They cannot perform string weaving but they can do ritualistic magic. They are amphibians (can live on water and on land) and tend to be small and live by themselves.

Healers are similar to humans as like the other souls, their souls are based on human souls. The Weaver originally created them with the purpose of balancing out the death caused by reapers. They have highly energetic soul strings and cores. They have black hair, black irises, dark skin, claws and bright white blood. They tend to be able to perform magic quite easily. Like reapers, they are not born like humans, but spawn in "special" locations also known as "shrines". They are made up of pure but unused soul energy left on the Middle Plane and are directly linked to it. They don't need normal nutrition as humans do but they can have it (like reapers). Their blood is damaging to reapers but has healing properties for humans, however reverse nuryt (their blood) can be used to heal reapers and has the same affect as normal nuryt does to humans. They have physical resilience but bad self-healing; scars and injuries tend to crystalise. They age normally until they are around 25 then live for as long as they want / can. They turn to crystal nuryt when they die.
