Humans
Both the weakest and most versatile species the Humans where once the dominant species of earth, though they now share that role with two other races. While they excel at nothing they also have no limitations on what ability types they can rack up.


Nymphs
The Nymphs are a race of beings who closely resemble humans, with very minor differences, such as occasional strange skin colors, and odd hair colors. The major difference between Humans and Nymphs is not in appearance, but in life style. Nymphs revolve around nature. They live in forests, and mountains, and wear clothes made out of skins and bark. They are often seen tending for forests, and taking care of plants, which has led to the racial slur 'Bushbacks'. Nymphs are so connected to nature that every Nymph has a plant that they always keep with them. The Nymph has a very special connection to this plant. A Nymph and their plant can connect to each other at a spiritual level allowing the Nymph to 'speak' to their plant. Nymphs meet their plant spirits at the age of ten, when they go through a test of sorts, that involves their spirit going into the forest, Literally. The Nymph's spirit will go into a tree, or other plant and travel through the forest through the roots of plants, until they find a plant that they bond with spiritually. Their soul will then return to their body and a mark will appear on their skin to signify the bonding. The Nymph must then keep a fragment of their plant with them at all times, whether it be a leaf, or the entire plant. If the Nymph were ever to separate with the fragment, both the plant and then Nymph would begin to wither and die.


Golems
The Golems are so rare that they are rumored to only be myth, golems are anomalies that come to be via a plethora of origins, acts of nature, creations of man, or simply unexplainable accidents to name a few. Golems, as a race, always share one thing in common, they are being made of magic, magic is their life-essence. There is somewhere on earth a great city built around an ancient artifact, this artifact has the strange ability to give anything inanimate life, this city is inhabited by only Golems and the rare mage. The Golems have developed an odd religion that believes that their life goal is to gain mortality, the ability to die of natural means, of course this is not an easy task and some say it is impossible. The Golems are the most adept magic weavers in the world, they can do things with magic that any other race would deem an act of god. There is a religion that is spreading that claims Golems are the act of god and that they are his angels vessels on earth, this Religion has one goal, and that is to protect Magic, on it's opposite end are the Golems natural enemies and predators, the Orin, beings whom consume magic, who simply view the Golems as livestock to feed their addiction. The Golems may be the rarest breed on earth but they do exist and they are powerful, if one should meet a Golem any wise man would tell you to treat it with respect.


Orin
An ancient race as old as man itself if not older, Said to be creators of the supposed utopia Atlantis, However this was just a guise to lure in magicians and world renowned spell casters to feed their terrible addiction to magic. Most Orin are no longer recognizably the same race through massive amounts of magic based mutations. The original form of an Orin appears humanoid with odd pigmented bodies,and long elf like ears. However it is incredibly rare to see an Orin with such little mutation. Orin grow at an advanced rate but their aging slows as they reach their peak. An Orin child matures after only four years; the first year is spent with their mother, and the last three until maturity are spent in a nursery with hundreds of other Orin. Orin do not carry a family name, The surname is earned after some form of achievement during their identity quest,a trial that all orin must endure before they are deemed fit to be a person.


Kai
The Kai are a noble race of aquatic symbiots who somewhat resemble serpents, with several key differences starting with their armored spine and everything leading to their arrow tip heads. The origin of the Kai hails back to the first years of the Great fall where they seemingly where born of nothing in the fresh waters of Japan, with the destruction of the fall constantly interrupting their everyday lives the Kai took action contacted local fishermen, after an agreement was made the Kai bonded to the fishermen and the entire race of Kai moved to Australia where they spent three long years digging and building a swamp to call their home, luckily environmental changes allowed for the swamp to flourish and with that the Kai separated from their hosts, returning to an aquatic life, the fishermen and their families stayed and built a village in the middle of the swamp. The two people then made a sacred bond, the two would live in harmony, if illness would ail one of the villagers they would venture out into the waters to bond with a Kai and be cured of their ailment, over the years the origins of the swamp and the village became lost as the bond between the village and the race of Kai became more and more sacred, the two races developing their own unique form of magic. Very rarely a traveler would make it through the dangerous wilderness and stumble upon the Mahya and they would always leave with a greater wisdom than that they had before, tales of the Mahya have spread throughout the world leading brave travelers to dare to trek through the continent of Grave to seek the remedy to cure all ills.
