Mortal Races

The Mortal Races were biological beings created by the Prometheans and guarded by the Nephilim.

All mortal races could be placed in groups and generations. They initially evolved into their current state over a billion years, only to disappear suddenly through the Demonic Legion's interference an approximate 66 million years before the formation of the Odin Vaults. The order of the universe demanded that there be three types of intelligent life in the universe, the Demonic Legion was tasked with upholding that balance. The Prometheans, believing that the mortal races with all their flaws were Soh-Um's primary defense against the other gods made it their sole mission to re-create mortal life even if it meant their own destruction.

## The Origins of Life (1 bn B.C - 66 mn B.C)

Mortal Life originated from micro-organisms billions of years ago, only becoming fully fledged sentient creatures a billion years B.C. While the demonic creatures possessed spirit but no soul, the Prometheans soul but no spirit, the Dragonkin soul and spirit but no body, the mortals possessed all of said qualities - only being flawed through biological error. Fighting began shortly thereafter, with the mortal races advancing into the 5th generation of consciousness - threatening the order of the universe. The Prometheans figured that the Demonic Legion was in the wrong and that rather than eliminating mortal life, demonic life should be eradicated - as they posed more of a threat to the Soh-Um.

The Dragonkin eventually intervened as the dimensional planes started to get threatened. The Promethean Race was given an ultimatum: let life be killed or be killed themselves. The Prometheans, having secretly stored samples of all life chose to let hyper-sentient life die out. The Intergalactic Purge began shortly thereafter.

## Generations of Evolution

### First Generation

The First Generation of evolution is commonly known as the Primitive Stage. They would have short lifespans, on average 37 years. Unlike stages one to four, these were able to partially tap into different dimensions and even communicate with one another. Some consider stage one creatures to be the perfect mortals as they were on par with most animals, therefore mostly pure of spirit.

Humanoid: Average speed of 59 km/h. Average age of 27. Intelligence: 6/10. Durability: 4/10.

Luonci: Average speed of 20 km/h. Average age of 52. Intelligence: 4/10. Durability: 6/10.

Gonzung: Average speed of 5 km/h (on land), 72 km/h (underwater). Intelligence: 7/10. Durability: 2/10.

Marski: Average speed of 90 km/h. Intelligence: 1/10. Durability: 8/10.

### Second Generation

The Second Generation of evolution is a stage of evolutionary hibernation. The unfortunate souls to be born into 2nd gen mortals would often find themselves in a life of little significance. The 2nd stage was often skipped over through evolution and only ever used as a precaution should the environmental properties be insufficient in preserving life. These beings would often sleep for days, even weeks at a time and required very little sustenance in order to survive.

Humanoid: Average speed of 5 km/h. Average age of 700. Intelligence: 4/10. Durability: 8/10.

Luonci: Average speed of 1 km/h. Average age of 2150. Intelligence: 1/10. Durability: 10/10.

Gonzung: Average speed of 20 km/h (underwater). Intelligence: 10/10. Durability: 6/10.

Marski: Average speed of 300 km/h. Intelligence: 4/10. Durability: 6/10.
