Species

This article covers all species of societal beings along with some background cultures for some.

## Non-Hybrids

### Humans

* Ah yes, Humans, with 200k+ years of history, they seem to be the most dominant societal species in the Theanai Universe. There's many cultures to be found from humans, dating back thousands of years to just recently. There's nothing in particular that makes people stand out though from the rest.

### Zombies

* No, not Zombies from The Walking Dead, Zombies in this universe are known to be humanoid to near human creatures who are basically rebirthed to near perfection versions of people from the past, however Zombies can only be born from humans. Zombies usually find themselves remembering their entire past lives and feeling either drawn or very distant from who they were, usually making it part of their identity or insisting to be called something they weren't named at birth. Zombies tend to follow whatever culture or religion their past life self had, or whatever they were raised with now. Being born as a Zombie though is rare however and only 11 are currently alive right now, if they were to reproduce, they would birth a human or whatever mix of species they had intercourse with.

### Dragons

* While dragons do have human versions of themself they can shape-shift into, they are not human. Dragons follow the old cultures and religions of ancient medeival times in Section 1 , this though, will vary, as section 1 has many cultures, but they are not the same to cultures of regular earth and humans from there. When in their human form, they can hide their tail, wings, and horns if they have them, but can also chose to show them, while still being in their human form. Hair colors can vary from the color of their scales or their eye color.

### Kumikaki/Kuvinaki Humans

* This ones a bit tricky, they aren't a hybrid, but aren't their entirely own. Kumikaki/Kuvinaki humans are a subset of regular people but with genetically born magic powers, theres enough of them in history to classify them as their own seperate being but anyone can be bred into the family-line of these people, as long as they have that natural magic ability. They don't follow any cultures or religions by default, anything they follow or participate in is their own decision.

## Hybrids

### Winged Humans

* (Not to be confused with Chromwings or actual angels or demons) Winged humans are a hybrid species of regular humans, but this is a tricky case to crack. After a life or death experience, one may gain wings, and depending on their social status, will either be angel wings, or demon wings.

### Rabbit Humans

* Rabbit Humans are a mixture of Humans and Rabbits, how these people came into existance is tricky however and will not be answered as there's a lot of horrible history behind it. Rabbit-Humans are like anyone else but are strictly vegan, have a rabbit nose instead of a regular human one, a rabbit tail, lack human ears, and can run at rapid speeds, they don't follow any specific cultures or religions.

### Wolf Humans

* Same as Rabbit humans, how they came into existance will not be answered. Wolf humans can transform between wolf and humanoid, but usally stay humanoid. Their ears are wolf ears and they as well have a wolf tail, both of which are their hair color. They don't have any specific cultures or religions but most have succumb to Christianity or Mormonism after people started colonizing land.

### Wolf-Angel Hybrids

* The angel species is long extinct but this one is a mix of wolf humans, and angels, these people have the ability to fly, along with everything else a wolf human can do.

### Lab Demons

* This one isnt a genetic species and is purely lab made, any reproduction has been proven unsuccesful. Lab demons are people who've been genetically altered in a lab to have demon horns, a demon tail, and the ability to spawn absolutely useless demon wings that can't fly. But they can teleport.

### Lab Aliens

* Like lab demons, they can't reproduce and form in a lab. Lab aliens usually have stereotypical alien features, generally antennas, and then other-world features like fantasy novel elven ears and a small demon tail, they can usually use telekinesis powers though.

### Cat Humans

* Cat people have cat ears, and a cat tail, sometimes their pupils are built like a cats. Cats history comes from a long line of southern european and egyptian royalty, they follow whatever religions and cultures they please but most tend to follow along with their ancestors. Cat people are rare though and most live in europe or africa.

### Cat-Angel Hybrids

* These are just like cat people but they've bred with now extinct angels.

### Chromwings

* Chromwings are basically humans, but with wings. They have a unique and diverse culture centered around their wing colors. Wing colors can come in every color of the rainbow except for gold, silver, and bronze. There is a vast history behind chromwings. In the year 172 bc, there was said to be a beautiful woman of every shade of color you could possible imagine, even colors that men could not see. Her name was Arientha. She had large wings, and was basically a god. Men begged to have even a fraction of her vibrance, for their life was dull. Arientha pitied man, but also saw the terror they could bring upon the world. So she gave them a test. Arientha beckoned all of man to the tallest mountain, mount Federi. She then placed a ferocious beast between them and a giant cliff. Their task was to jump off the cliff unharmed. Many men tried and failed. Some men were athletic enough to escape the beast, but were too scared to jump. The ones who passed were the ones who asked. The beast let them through and they had faith that if the jumped they would pass. And right as they were about to die, they grew wings. Arientha was glad to see that some men passed her test, so she granted them cloud walking as well as flying, so they could build cities for themselves among the clouds where she lived. And not one chromwing has ever disrespected Arientha since. They celebrate the gift of their wings every month by picking a single feather from them and placing it in the shape of something they value just as much as their goddess. The color of their wings change every two years, where they shed their original color for the new color they've embraced as theirs. It's linked entirely to persona, and the colors are self explanatory. Most chromwings are able to fly around the age of 16, but it requires practice. It's basically the chromwing's equivalent to driving a car. If you're justified as a killer infront of court, or if you publicly disrespect Arientha's name, they shave your wings off, and banish you from every cloud city.  Wings can grow up to 8 ft wide and 7 ft tall. Some chromwings have a tail that matches their wings to help with balance because said chromwing cannot fly properly.

## Ghost Species

### Lamp Demons

* Lamp demons have a lamp tail, demonic wings, and striped ears. The tail, wings, and ears are the color of the person's hair, any extra color is their favorite color, such as the face streaks, stripes in the ears, and the top stripe on the wings, and this color can change in the afterlife. Their eye color may range from an over-saturated version of their mortal selves' eye color to red, depending on whether or not they were corrupted in their life or by the Mirror Ghost in the afterlife. Lamp demons are an interdimensional ghost species that can travel between realms/sections in the Theanai universe. There are, of course, 9 sections to this universe. Lamp demons can be seen by anyone they please but cannot physically interact with others, unless in their lamp form. Lamp demons can disguise themselves as any sort of lamp they please, from nightstands to streetlights and more. Lamp demons can though interact with their physical surroundings. They carry the ability to possess people temporarily, teleport, alter the mindset of others, and corrupt. The process of corruption is where one enters the mind of someone else and “adds a second steering wheel”, which in this case means to have partial control. Depending on the strength of the demon, their corruption can range from messages telepathically transmitted, to semi-possession as a whole. Any person who finds themselves corrupted may see themself with one of their eyes being red, and a streak of color under the red eye. If you find yourself as a lamp demon when you pass, it generally means you were seen as an awful person in your life, when you generally weren’t, of course, there have been a few exceptions to this, we’ve seen a case of a purely evil Lamp Demon, though they also had their mindset amplified due to corruption by the Mirror Ghost. Becoming a Lamp Demon is random, people who pass may go to just simply be a standard ghost when they die, with no special abilities except an immortal afterlife with no interaction possible with the living folk, but if you do become a Lamp Demon, consider yourself lucky, as you can interact with those who you let see you, just be careful to avoid the Mirror Ghost. If you find yourself awakening in a puddle of blood after passing, you got unlucky. Corruption by the Mirror Ghost will always bring out any darkness in you, if you had goals before passing, the Mirror Ghost will find any bad ones to bring to light, it finds the worst in you, and makes that into the new you. Demons corrupted by the Mirror Ghost have more power though, they hold the same abilities as all Lamp Demons but it’s more amplified, in a bad way.

### Ghosts

* Unlike lamp demons, ghosts can only spectate, so you're stuck being able to do absolutely nothing when you die, consider yourself unlucky.

### The Mirror Ghost

* The mirror ghost is a ghost who can corrupt anyone, from lamp demons to living beings. The mirror ghost tends to reflect your most inner and darkest evil self it can fine, bring it to light, and make that the new you. The amount of true power it holds is currently unexplainable and unknown but consider it very dangerous.
