* this is only the list of most common species on this site. you may request being a different species other than what is listed.
[ HUMAN SPECIES ]
angels [fallen angels or demons]. both angels and fallen angels have found their way into Adun Torridos as well. as beings who have passed on and now live again, they are often very quiet and conniving creatures. the truly good angels work well with both humans and half-humans to try and better the lives of the city, but the fallen angels [often called demons] are out to destroy their efforts. angels, fallen angels, and demons often have wings, but their appearance is wide-scale. some demons do not appear human at all anymore and have taken to a much darker appearance. these beings are very mysterious and not much is known about them. what is known is that they have an incredible sense of magic and are masters at wielding immense powers to their bidding.
elves. beings of extreme grace and beauty, elves are often the most captivating species of humans. known for their frail, pale skin and deep eyes, narrow bodies, and slightly curved ears. almost all elves never cut their hair and wear simple yet dazzling garments of earthly hues. elves are often shy of other species and tend not to mix well with others due to the tension brought upon their sensitive hearts. however, at any celebration, elves are the first to bring out the party goods and stay up until the early hours of the next day with dancing, games, and laughter. the strength of elves is mostly in their bowmanship and swiftness. quick and agile on their feet, it's almost impossible to catch them with human legs. another special weapon of theirs is the control over unicorns. the bond between an elf and unicorn can never be broken unless one of them is killed. weaknesses of the elves include a compassion for everyone, making them unwilling fighters, as well as being prone to be weaker against those with stronger magic forces than physical combat.
fairies [faes]. one of the rarest species of the humans is the fairy. almost never seen by the naked eye or in the city of Kosiri, fairies are very mysterious and tend to keep to themselves. They appear as tiny people, standing three inches at the tallest (however, some beings of fairy blood stand nearly as tall as humans). each fairy has a unique set of wings, sometimes looking like that of an angel, sometimes like that of a butterfly. fairies rely on magic to keep them alive. they can hold a strong protective field around them that appears almost like a haze. their magic can be quite deadly, if you provoke a fairy enough. to catch one of these tiny, winged people was once believed to bring an extreme amount of luck to anyone who caught them, but now it is looked upon as a curse, and a very illegal thing to do.
humans. over the years, humans have become less and less common in the land of Adun Torridos. many were killed in riots or were cast away by the more "superior" species. many humans were driven out of Adun Torridos, but those who remain within its borders are stealthy and quiet, going under aliases under cross-species. they inhabit the lower classes of Adun, looked down upon almost to an animalistic level, but their undercover lives has given them the reputation of mild respect. humans’ strengths include their devious nature, the cunning to live behind lies in order to prosper. though their magic is generally weak, it is common for them to become alchemists or live with other rarely found professions to make a living. their physical and magical weaknesses are among some of the things that give humans disadvantages. their speed and grace is not as high as other human races, though their intelligence surpasses those of all animals, and their ability to survive in rough conditions has kept them going.
vampires. often known as the creatures of the night, vampires are actually one of the most sophisticated species of human. contrary to popular belief, the usual vampire is not a blood-thirsty being with a terrible attitude towards humans. they are extremely intelligent, and their attractiveness makes them irresistible to any other human species. their eye colors often vary according to clan and personality, but the same, marble-like skin is seen through all vampires. they come in a variety of shapes and sizes, just like the humans, but their charisma often far-surpasses their former species. some beings are born as vampires, and others are obviously transformed into such. often, though, if a vampire chooses to feed on human life, they will truly kill the person instead of leaving them for transformation. vampires may have magic, but they more than often heavily rely on their celerity, charisma, and strength to survive. with their beauty and carnivorous instincts, they are not beings to mess around with, even without magic.
[ HUMAN-ANIMAL SPECIES ]
anthros. the humanoids of the world, anthros are known commonly as the outcasts of Adun Torridos. because they are half human and half animal, they are not accepted everywhere, but rather, are accepted nowhere. most anthros live in the realm of Emmer, but some courageous anthros will seek simple jobs in Kosiri. anthros usually have the ability to become either fully human or fully animal as well, but in Adun, it has become a law that if any anthro was to be found changing between their impure form and the other two, pure forms, they would immediately be banished or sent to death. anthros have a variety of skills, both in magic and in physical strengths, yet most stay docile and choose not to use either in order to avoid conflict. (as of right now, any kind of anthro will be accepted)
centaurs. one of the legendary half-creatures of mythology, centaurs are extremely rare. their melodious, picturesque existence has often made its way into paintings, using them as beacons of romance. while their captivating natures are all too present, the centaur is also a dangerous being to come across. with the body of a horse and the torso of a human, centaurs are quick and powerful, but also extremely intelligent. they are masters of music as well, and if you wander into the forest late at night, you may hear their eludes of harp chords strumming through the silence. centaurs are graceful creatures and do not often have the ability of magic. those who do are considered sages among their species and are highly recognized. of the half-creatures that are widely disrespected and hated, the centaurs are nearly an exception to the rule. though most still despise them, a certain admiration still shines. centaurs are considered to be above all other half-creatures, being nearly human, but they prefer to stay amongst the lowly and associate themselves with those of their true kind.
werewolves. a specific species of half human, half animal species is the werewolf. among the human species and animal species alike, werewolves are feared to the extreme, and if one is found, they are immediately killed. however, after years of this discrimination, the werewolves of Adun have adapted to hiding in the brush or shadows and usually make their home in the western forest, where they live off of the game that thrives there. werewolves are stripped of their magical abilities as soon as they are transformed into one, and instead rely on their extreme, supernatural strength. werewolves may openly change between human and wolf form because of their lack of control over the full moon. it is also rumored that the werewolves have been planning to take over Kosiri for centuries, yet none have been able to prove this rumor.
[ ANIMAL SPECIES ]
dragons. some know them as the rulers of the skies, the fire breathers, the enormous reptiles with wingspans that seem to go for miles and with one sighting of a dragon, you’d never see the light of day again. while some dragons fit this stereotype quite well, not all dragons are fire breathers, or even vicious. some don’t even fly. there are all kinds of dragons, including ice, water, fire, flying, shadow, and earth dragons. each of them has a unique personality and climate, as well as strengths and weaknesses. the subspecies of dragons is as follows:
ice dragons (NEIVA): weathered for the extreme cold, these dragons live in caves that they line with ice to keep the climate frigid. their wingspans are too small to lift them off the ground with ease, though they do glide with them. the Neiva is categorized by its elongated body and short legs, long face and gentle eyes. rather than scales, these dragons are lined with fine, feathery down. while magically, they are incapable of concocting a single spell, their physical powers is enough to chase away any who dare disturb this species. they are swift and cunning and their ability to breathe air colder than the winds of the arctic can freeze a body within seconds.
water dragons (EURIA): even more peaceful than the Neiva, live in the waters that surround the peninsula of Adun. most commonly found in the waves of the beach, these dragons feast only on fish. their bodies, like their cousins –the Neiva- are lithe and long, yet these dragons do not have wings at all, and instead of fur, they are lined with fish-like scales that allow for the most aerodynamics in the ocean. these dragons are one of the weaker of the species, however, because they lack in both dangerous magic and threatening physical abilities. yet, their peaceful and cautious demeanor makes them just as safe as any other dragon species found at Adun.
fire dragons (TLACHINOLLI): the stereotypical dragon that everyone thinks of when they hear the name, these are the most vicious species of dragon. breath of fire, wings that can propel their enormous bodies forward at valiant speeds makes them a threat to anyone who stands in their way. their bodies are heavy, their legs thick to hold them up, and their necks are long, with a powerfully set jaw lined with ferocious fangs. their scales can withstand the massive amounts of heat that their bodies hold and often appear jeweled, almost crystallized due to a layer of cooling scales that ventilates the heat. these dragons are not skilled in magic, but they are voracious with their physical strengths, such as brute force and their fire. the only species known to subdue the Tlachinolli are the Euria, which may, at times, lure them into the ocean by appearing as weakend prey.
flying dragons (IHUICATL): though many mistake this species as any of the other winged species of dragons, this species is unique in its own personality and lifestyle. Ihuicatl are born to the air, and yet lack any wings at all. they appear almost like the Euria, save they are even more slender and elongated. their legs are also longer, and whiskers surround their mouths, which give them almost a catfish appearance. these dragons are lined with feathers very much like that of birds, but have the teeth of a reptile. they feed off of anything they can find while patrolling the airs. though generally peaceful, when these dragons get upset, the weather compliments their sentiments quite readily. these dragons, unlike most of the other species, are also very skilled in the realm of magic instead of physical strength. they have an innate ability to change the weather at will, whether it be to create a beautiful, sunny day, or to enjoy the dangerous bouts of a hurricane or tornado.
shadow dragons (NAHIMANA): perhaps the darkest of the dragon species, the Nahimana are also the most mysterious. they are very rarely seen, even in the dark shadows of the forest, but when they are seen, it is for the best if you get away from them as soon as possible. these dragons are conniving, the Satanists of the dragons, and follow a strict code of torture when an unaware victim wanders into their land. these dragons are cruel, but not as blatantly vicious as their cousins, the Tlachinolli. they –instead- are manipulative and power-seeking. their trademark is the very dark hue of their scaled bodies, which are either slender or bulky, depending on the dragon. they, like the Ihuicatl, are the other species that can wield magic to their liking, and usually use this magic to manipulate the shadows to either seduce or terrify those who cross them.
earth dragons (TLALLI): the final, and perhaps the most intelligent, species of dragon found in Adun is the Tlalli. the most often seen of the dragons, the Tlalli is peaceful and social, yet dangerous if pursued. they are the smallest of the dragons, sizing only to be the size of a leopard. they closely resemble the dinosaurs of the past, with fragile scales and a deep emerald tint, with long necks and deeply shaped bodies, yet built to be swift and to run for miles without end. these dragons do have wings, but they rarely use them, as their calm nature keeps them out of trouble. they too lack magic and rely on their extreme intelligence in almost any situation that comes upon them.
* the powers of each individual species does not count as a default power. therefore, unless stated by me, the power you choose for your dragon must at least somewhat revolve around whatever magic is portrayed to that particular species.
unicorns. one of the most mystical animals of the lands, unicorns are rarely ever spotted, and when they are, it is common practice to treat the encounter as a miracle and blessing from the lords in the skies above. while most unicorns are docile and the purest white in color, there is another species of unicorn that is very dark and secluded, living only very deep in the forest, and small hordes of them may terrorize the streets of both Emmer and Kosiri. the pure unicorns are seen less than this demonic subcategory, but both species appear almost exactly the same, save for coloring. they do not stand very tall, but their legs are long and lithe, their cleffed hooves making them swifter than the deer that seem to roam along with them. the trademark of the unicorn is a horn that juts from the forehead and generates massive amounts of energy or magic to fend off their enemies. some unicorns are blessed with a set of wings, but no mortal eye has seen such a unicorn before. unicorns are very talented in all varieties of magic, and their physical defenses are strong, but when it comes to defending themselves against species such as a hungry dragon, magic is the only solution. this species is also the only animal with the ability to speak to the humans. when tamed by an elf, the pair acquires a deep sense of telepathy with the other that can only be broken through death.
animals. any other animals are also found at Adun. they can be found lurking in the lands of Emmer or wandering about in the forests or other neutral lands. a wide variety of animals exist here, ranging from the monarch butterfly up to the great grizzly bear. while most animals aren’t born with the ability of magic, they all very with strengths and weaknesses from species to species. (if you join as an animal, you may request magic, but it may not be granted. as of now, all animal species are open to be joined.)
