GODS

They have been here since time could tell, and have created many worlds in their respective universes. They also curate things such as seasons and weather. Specific planets are created by specific gods. The worlds must be kept in balance of good and evil, lest the gods deteriorate. Fafnir, the God of Protection, being aware of this threat, created the Last Artifacts, as a last resort to kill deteriorating Gods, and spread them across planets and any respective alternate timelines that the Creator wills. This however came at the expense of being able to create worlds of his own, but in order to keep balance and the other Gods safe, he believes this to be the best tradeoff. Druehiri, the God of Nurturing, is the first and only God to deteriorate so far. Druehiri was also the most powerful. Gods have angels and devils as subordinates, and keep information archived and tracked down and report discrepancies in order to properly assign spirits to the Overworld or the Underworld. The management team is a literal breathing OL.

MAGICAL GIRLS

Before Magical Girls grew in number, there were only two Magical Girls on Druehiri: Rionehime and Shessteria. The two were created by Druehiri and Fafnir respectively. Magical Girls are the product of Druehiri's protection and passion for humans, giving them a higher being to protect them from harm, like a stand-in deity. However, Fafnir argued that this degree of overprotection would be irrational, leaving humans weak and too reliant on miracles. Along with this reasoning, he mentions that Druehiri would also deteriorate from the imbalance of good in her world, as she should already know. Even then, Druehiri stands her ground and believes this is the best course of action for mankind, ambitious and overbearing to a fault. If she becomes nonexistent, then she will die happily knowing she gave her people a miracle to pray upon. Knowing he couldn't sway her decision, Fafnir decided that he will make Dark Magical Girls to balance the Magical Girls, as a compromise.

Now created with their new purpose, Rionehime and Shessteria commanded and ruled their respective sides. In order to grow their castles, they bend the rules of Druehiri (the planet,) to enforce scenarios leading to random everyday citizens turning into Magical Girls. These girls that were chosen by chance are now the hinges of balance to Druehiri. While not as drastic as the Gods, the power they possess is almost just as otherworldly. Magical Girls are Magical Girls permanently, meaning that their body is made out of part of the world; they are not human and cannot change back into one. They wear angelic-like robes until it is time to transform.

Magical Girls can survive without doing basic human functions, such as eating, using the bathroom, et cetera. Instead, Magical Girls thrive on justice, while Dark Magical Girls thrive on chaos, lest their form ceases to exist. Unfortunately, chaos goes against justice, and vice versa, leading to them clashing many times. Amongst the fights and occasional wars, what both sides want most is to be free of this unfair burden.

CELESTIALS

These humanoids live on the planet of Xustoria, which does not support any other life except themselves, celestial hybrids, and their creator, Xustoria. She is not technically a god, as she was birthed from stars instead of miraculously forming from nothing. She created her planet out of sheer dedication and creative wit, which makes her an honorary God, though she doesn't particularly like the title. Their planet is made of glass and many gases. There is some semblance of human-like structures on the planet, as the technology that does exist there resembles that of a moon base and many space facilities and advanced homes. Celestials are highly intelligent in their field; tracking the stars, asteroids, and their 100 moons. Other birthed stars are jealous of the beauty of Celestials and its planet.

WITCHES & MAGES

Living in the underground of Druehiri, Witches and Mages, along with enchanted creatures live in the Witches Depths, an otherworld of Druehiri along with the Underworld and Overworld [created by Maghmell.] They were created as an accidental byproduct of creating the otherworld layers, and therefore can be considered Maghmell's creation. They are not immortal, but dying from aging or genetic illnesses can take around ten thousand years at maximum. They are natural magic users, and are born with it from the very beginning. They live in an old fashioned manner, and accomplish everything by hand or through magic. They are easily possessable by the spirits of the Underworld, whom are downstairs from the Witches Depths, hence why spirits attack them first. Knowing this, the Resplendent Lords, and eventually Saoirse and Mahogany went to the surface to find a suitable power source for the Witches Barrier. Saoirse dies from the curse bearing flower that protects the Depths in exchange for a life. Both are hailed as heroes, Saoirse especially so. Mahogany is now the Great Witch of the Depths.

Witches and Mages also live with familiars. They are not actually called familiars between Witches, but are just companions and friends to the Witches. They came to existence from a Wizard saving several dying animals on the surface world with magic, whom then populated on the surface and came to live in the Depths. They have human forms thanks to magic influences. Though animalistic monsters also have similar qualities, they are not like familiars as they can achieve all of these naturally and without magic from an outside source, thus should not be confused with each other.

MONSTERS/ANTHROPOMORPHICS/KEMONOMIMI

Monsters are exactly that: monsters, typically of folklore, and legends come to life. They are in many of the planets, but are mostly populated in Druehiri. Monsters and kemonomimi are either born naturally like any other living being, or born from the spread of superstition in the case of youkai. Most monsters have been around in this world as long as humans, and are commonly seen at nighttime. Many of these monsters that roam are also documented in mythological records in the same way as the real world, such as gorgons (Odelie,) vampires (Elery, Bremegarten, Rosaliya, Grim, Eirika,) werewolves (Wolfgang, Thywri,) slimes (Pupupyuni,) youkai (Tenri, Adzuki,) dragons (Vortigern,) shapeshifters (Tiferet,) and so on; this makes these ancient beasts rather important to the mythological history and folklore of many planets. They are often the product of fear and hysteria, and usually use humans for their own needs to survive. Although they continue to be a target of hunters, average human beings and monsters live together rather seamlessly and both are amicable to each other. There are plenty of born monsters in Cassiopeia, but many of them did come from other planets to broaden their horizons.

Anthropomorphic creatures and kemonomimi are like the species they are based off of, but they can walk, talk, and think like humans can, if they're not straight up humanoid. They can usually shift from their more anthropomorphic or humanoid form to the real life creature at ease. They are a result of evolution going crazy wacko. They can be either land animals, water animals, plants, or just straight up a thing if its a youkai.

Though not either of these, aliens do exist too and can fit in this category. They are most populated on a planet named 21-A1 PELLEAS.

HUMANS

The average human. Like in real life, humans live life in normalcy day by day. Cassiopeia is the planet most populated with humans. Cassiopeia is the most like our real Earth. Cassiopeia is also the most normal planet almost every other one is so fucking insane in comparison oh my god theres an apocalypse going on everyday.

SPIRITS AND GHOSTS

Living beings that have passed away turn into spirits and pass on to the Underworld or Overworld of their respective planet, with spirit sorting and curation done by the angels and devils. The Overworld layer is basically heaven, where people that lived honest lives reside. It is a gorgeous city-like environment with cozy rural areas and neighborhoods enhanced by the beautiful cloudy weather with a pinkish glow. The Underworld is for spirits that are burdened with regrets. It is less so a hell or place of punishment, but rather a place of vindication for spirits that desire to make amends with themselves and their emotions. Compared to city-like emphasis in the Overworld, the Underworld is mostly rural with healing countrysides, and urban areas are less common but still do exist. The Overworld's weather is comparable to a rainy night during a drive.

Those who are deemed irredeemably cruel however, are put into the deepest layer of the Underworld, where it is an actual hell. They become an irrecognizable mesh of tar, cursing their own existence. On Druehiri, these meshed spirits are spiteful enough to attempt to breakthrough the Underworld as a whole and possess others back on the human layer. The ferrymen is always a woman named Tiamat, and she transports people between both realms. The river is still undeniably terrifying even with how homely the realms feel.

ROBOTS

Created by human hands, robots are machines made to usually achieve specific tasks or possess the simple goal of mimicking how humans live. They have 3 forms they commonly take: simply machinery, humanoid mechas, or androids that look actually human. Most robots tend to have a human-like consciousness, but seem to struggle in terms of identity and learning emotions beyond the ones they are programmed with. They are also prone to attacking whatever is in its way indiscriminately. Professor Ida is credited as the grandmother of robot creation, and is commonly regarded as the universe's most high profile engineer.

FLEURS/AGARIS

Fleurs and Agaris are a species from a completely different universe, the Blossoming Mahoroba. Fleurs are anthropomorphic plants (commonly flowers,) and Agaris are anthropomorphic mushrooms. They live off of only sunlight and the music of Mahoroba. When these are taken away, they wilt or slowly decay. Agaris decompose dead Fleurs with music as a sign of respect; when this ritual is performed, they become part of the land. Spreads of parasitism is their one and only pandemic present, and it causes the land to become barren and deserted if spread too far. Fleurs and Agaris live a countryside lifestyle, but Agaris have made technological advancements enough to create Mahoroba's one and only city.
