All Races

## Universal

### Gods

Gods are an extremely rare, but existent type of entity that appear mostly as humanoid beings in Sekainoowari. Akala, Akuma (pre-demonization), and Ayama are the only examples of Gods that appear human.

### Demons

Demons are creatures that are separated into two forms: Low Demon and High Demon.

#### Low Demon

When a non-God or Demon being dies in the Doryoku, it will either escape and enter Shimetsukeru or reincarnate into a new being. Souls that enter Shimetsukeru will become Low Demons, which will roam the brutal landscape and consume one another to survive.
Low Demons are semi-humanoid, appearing as deformed black figures.
If a Low Demon ingests the Demon King's blood or consumes enough Low Demons, they will transform into a High Demon.
#### High Demon

High Demons are more humanoid in appearance and have more developed horns on their forehead. In rare cases, High Demons will not develop horns at all (ie. Nox). High Demons are created when an entity that isn't a God ingests the Demon King's blood.
#### Arch-Demon

Arch-Demons are ranked the highest in the evolutionary process, possessing extraordinary physical and mental prowess that far surpasses that of a High Demon. At this stage, Demons will form a "third eye" on their foreheads that is said to be a symbol that they have achieved this ultimate form. In order for a High Demon to evolve into an Arch-Demon, they must either consume enough High Demons or consume the Demon King's blood.
### Voidborn

Voidborn are humanoid creatures created directly from Akala, they feature greyish skin and hollow insides. Voidborn are created when a High Demon merges with the void (using Akala's Ataraxia). The cells from High Demons seem to mutate when they transform into Voidborn, creating an ultra-regenerative cell type.

### Avatar

An Avatar is a being that has achieved a higher form of the Enlightenment and has consumed Ayama's blood. There has only ever been a single Avatar in existence.

## Sono

### Humans

Predominantly the largest percentage of humanoids on Sono. Humans cover nearly every landmass, constructing cities, towns, and villages away from harsh environments.

### Nekoken

Holding one of the largest population percentages in Sono, Nekoken are mysterious and primal humanoids that originate from the jungles of Qowari. Nekoken specialize in hunting techniques and traps, and are anatomically structured to have the advantage in speed, but a disadvantage in strength. Nekoken seem to have less Chikara occurrences than Human populations, as there is around 1 Holder for every 10,000 Humans, and 1 Holder for every 100,000 Nekoken. Additionally, Nekoken develop Chikaras based more on hunting, evolution, or primal prowess than any other attribute.

#### Tundra Nekoken

Tundra Nekoken, as their name suggests, lived mainly in the arctic Tundrus. Tundra Nekoken have become nearly extinct due to the Jaeger presence in the arctic. Tundra Nekoken have longer ears and sometimes have white hair and fur to blend in with the snow.
#### Jungle Nekoken

Jungle Nekoken are more adapted to the jungles of Qowari and are the largest population of Nekoken in Sono. Jungle Nekoken have made the jungle their home by building towns in the trees and constructing primitive weapons and tools to hunt and build.
### Dragonkin

Dragonkin are humanoid dragon hybrids originating from the mountains of Thurlin. Split into two clans, Rakin and Dokin, the two constantly clashed and battled before they were imprisoned by the first Demon King. Their appearance features scales on parts of the lower back and face, and sometimes on the arms, feet, and chest. Additionally, Dragonkin have broad horns that protrude from the forehead and a tail that matches their scale color. Dragonkin are superior to Humans in speed and strength, but weaker than High Demons.

### Vessels

Vessels are humanoid experiments created solely by Nox using the DNA of any none-God being. Vessels are more durable than Humans, having skin made from highly-regenerative cells found in High Demons; however, they look and act just as normal Humans do.

#### Imperfect Vessels

Imperfect Vessels are variants of Vessels that have an extremely short lifespan, usually spanning between 2-12 years. Imperfect Vessels are very unstable, and are unable to contain the Tao that they generate.
#### Perfect Vessels

Perfect Vessels are the perfected variant of Vessels that live longer than Humans, can use a single Tao type, and are usually mixed with a Human DNA base and another species' DNA as an additive.
#### Khans

Khans are extremely powerful variants of Perfect Vessels, crossed between Voidborn, Demon, and Tamashi DNA, they are able to wield all types of Tao and a shard of the Demon Crown.
### Lycans

Opposite of Nekoken, there are scattered tribes of Lycans located around barren areas of Xiao. Lycans have canine ears atop their head that allows them greater hearing many times over Human, and even Nekoken capabilities. A Lycan's sense of smell is regarded as the best of any humanoid species, their strength nearly unrivaled in terms of raw power. Many Lycan tribes tend to form a hierarchy based off of strength, often raising the Males as warriors and the Females as simple gatherers and cooks. However, some Females have proven their strength in these cultures to become some of the strongest warriors in Lycan history.
