I figured this would help in rping since there have been some taking place on Cryssna. For those who don’t know it’s the fictional world where Marie comes from, sometimes in context it’s a planet itself while in some roleplays(like the one with =Kuder ) it’s almost more like a land-mass or a continent. None-the-less there are a few races in it. Also one race in particular is made by ~Archinos C: she gave me permission to.



Cryssnans:
Residence: Scattered throughout Cryssna, the population is mostly concentrated in the main city(which is also called Cryssna)

Distinguishing features: Long ears, they look much like anthropomorphic rabbits.
Image: none yet available

About: The first race to populate Cryssna, they were able to harness the natural elements and thrive in almost any habitat. Oddly, they were born from the minerals of Cryssna, rocks and crystals were able to grow under the magic that flows throughout the mainland. Since their early forms they had become anthro-like to become closer to nature; it was intended at first but now it’s the permanent form of their race.
Today they still take in pride their powers and the fact that they can birth from rocks, yet they have rejected nature itself by modernizing their world and imperializing the lands they found around it. The city of Cryssna itself takes advantage of the lake beds that fill their canals and the plentiful forests in which they get their lumber from. However, they claim that it’s okay to take from nature in a small moderation, excusing them from leveling small plots of land for farms and such. Cryssnans claim it is the price of a growing population.
Their diet exists of mostly organic materials, hence why so many of them are farmers. Also among their diets are various crystals, some inedible to other races. Sugar and salt are enjoyed in high quantities among children who treat the substance like candy.
They reproduce asexually in which a couple makes an orb among themselves. In inter-racial relationships if an orb is made it’s usually placed within a womb if the non-Cryssnan is the mother. Within the uterus an orb’s shell would break and an embryo would form in place.
As of right now there is a race tension between the Cryssnan race and the other main race, the Feinans, the dispute being over land-holders that had enslaved their race in the past. Though it’s true that slavery still exists on Feina(the Feinan’s city), they are diplomatically discussing a way to gradually rid themselves of the slave population. Still, the Cryssnans seem to hate them relentlessly…

Feinans:
Residence: Feina, a city by the swamp.
Distinguishing features: anthro, cat-like
Image:
About: A race that formerly lived among the Cryssnans, many of them were forced into exile after an attack from a rogue faction of their race. In the primitive world they had no defense outside Cryssna and their bodies lacked the adaptability to survive. However, one of the Cryssnan Gods, Kieley, came forth and offered them salvation. He lead them across the continent and over an ocean to what he said would be a sanctuary for them to develop.
To be able to build their city though intense labor was needed and they started training their strongest to be trackers to find any sentient being that could work, though it was mainly Cryssnans. However, the towns they raided and villages they attacked were too far from the Cryssnan empire, hence the gods were disinterested in aiding them. Over time however it created racial tensions, and to keep from warring Sausica and Kieley made a secret compromise between each other. Sausica, the High God of Cryssna had the power to make Kieley mortal again, so he threatened to take away his powers if he did not follow his demands. He ordered the Feinan race to stop imperializing Cryssnan territory and in return the Cryssnans would not interfere with the Feinan city. Both parties agreed, and for awhile things were peaceful and slavery was dissolving.
However, Sausica lost his power creating the Hima Kari, and though he still rules Cryssna as a political advisor Kieley has now seemed to join in the hunt to find the ultimate power of the Cryssnans. Without the Gods protecting Cryssna the Feinans may become the new dominant race.




Lunos:
Residence: in small villages throughout the Cryssnan forests
Distinguishing features:
Image: (thank Krista for the reference, and yeah, this one also has some moo in her :3 )
About: Long ago some Feinan researchers had became fascinated in the Cryssnan body, mainly with their ability to reproduce with other creatures and being able to do so asexually. The thought of eliminating normal pregnancy and childbirth, with the pain and time needed to make a new life, would help increase their numbers and make them as adaptable as the Cryssnans.
Through the most primitive form of genetic engineering, controlled breeding, they were able to make hybrids between Cryssnans and Feinans. However, most of them were unable to function as they hoped, and thus they were released into the wild. Most of these creatures were feral, but some had retained a civilized manner. The ones that were animal-like were unable to survive without a parent figure while the other children that kept their sense of being banded together to keep themselves going. Their Cryssnan traits were repressed, but still there, and they managed to evolve over time to become adaptable to any environment. One of their traits much similar with the Cryssnans is the ability to reproduce with biological creatures, and due to their small numbers they found a need to exploit that. Hence the Lunos are a mixed being, the mutts of all races, but all sharing the common origin of Cryssnan and Feinan.

Aesyrians:
Residence: within the Feinan caverns.
Distinguishing features: long cat ears, rabbit-like body
Image:
About: “The little known and often misunderstood Cryssnan race, Aesyrians. Descendants of a rabbit race that slipped onto the planet during its dark ages (i.e. when Marie left it in complete darkness). There, they carried on their lives underground, at peace with the darkness and concealed away from the other races... Until Feinan scientists discovered traces of life beneath them.
Aesyrians aren't as shy as they are quiet. They never raise their voices and couldn't if they tried, they're used to being close to one another. Their fur and skin are white and pale, due to lack of sunlight from living in Cryssnan Caverns. It's said that they have a heightened knowledge of magic and elements and emit an odd yet cheerful aura when their fur meets the sun.
Little more is known about this young race, but it is certain that Feinan curiosity may lead to disaster within their culture...” ~ ~Archinos

Light Spirits:
Residence: Light Kingdom, the wilderlands
Distinguishing features: small wings, they occassionally have hazy forms
Image:
Light spirits are one of the monster races in the alternate noncanon rp I am doing with Kuder.
With a tendency to live in packs, it is seldom that you find a light spirit alone. They stick in groups of families, usually the elders being the two parents and the rest being their young. The only time the young will separate from a pack would be to make another pack with another spirit.
What is most notable is their small set of wings from which their magic stems. Prized in value many poachers usually slay spirits to get the wings- however, it is observed that if a spirit is alive and it has severed wings then the wings shall grow back in 3 days. Spirits with severed wings have no magic for the time, and can not fly nor cast spells.
Orphan light spirits are those whose clan or pack has been slain. Sometimes poachers capture clans but find that one is left behind. Usually they do not survive in such conditions. When a spirit dies it assumes a hazy form, and usually is able to regenerate a few times in their life cycle. If they can not however the spirit carries on to another plane of being in the afterlife.
Their most notable place of residence is the light kingdom- there is actually a kingdom for each elemental spirit. Their leader bears a halo above his head, and when the leader dies the halo disappears and reappears on another living spirit, therefore the leader is not elected, but at the same time there is no exact lineage in the royalty.
Every several centuries all the kingdoms war, and for the last few wars the light kingdom has come out the victor. However, in times of peace there are alliances, mainly with the fire kingdom.


When I told =Kuder about this he wanted to include some of his races too. He may also help me out with naming towns since I generally suck at that. All the races below this point belong to him. More will be added when he sends me his part.

Hyphonians:
Residence: Hrevelsing island chains
Distinguishing features: Some say Hyphonians resemble cats, while some say dogs- which one is up to the viewer.
Image:
About: Hyphonians are a race greatly influenced on by the Vennecian and Gundoradan cultures, taking many building designs and such from them to modify for their own. Hyphonians have mastered arts of magic, and most of their technology functions around hybrids of magic and machines. They mostly use arcane constructs for construction in cities, as they can work without need of rest, and do so effectively. They are also very secluded, and claim that contact with outside races can only lead to war. Despite this, war does reach them, and they are also prepared for it- they have an extensive army and navy, along with a fledgling air force.

Vennecians:
Residence: Vennecio, and cities upon the Merchant Coasts
Distinguishing features: They have large, long cat ears, and other than that, and a tall body.
Image:
About: Vennecians are a overly prideful race, boasting a massive navy, and almost unquestioned control of the seas along the Merchant coast. They can take extreme offense to nearly anything said to them- and unfortunately, they are not above using brute force to strengthen they’re pride. Vennecians draw much of they’re moral from the fact that the Crimson Champion, a world renowned hero, was Vennecian- and they claim that he will return once day to justify this, by eliminating the other races which they deem impure.

Guaradians
Residence: some are in the caverns of Cryssna, there are few places they can be found
Distinguishing features: their eyes glow
Image:
The Guaradians are considered the first intelligent life ever to live on the planet. They have extremely close ties to the gods and nature, even living in trees. Nearly all of them are very sensitive to air, and smoke and such can cause them to faint, or in extreme cases, die. Although the race was commended as noble and amazingly advanced, it was attacked by others in pursuit of land- because of this, they rarely are seen in present times. Guaradians lived underground until the end of the Skullion War, where they rose to combat the Skullions, and effectively drove them from the planet with little help from the other nations. After this, they were granted back land, and became a thriving populous again.



Though Skullions are a race itself they have many factions and types within their race. Here's the main profile Kuder gave me, but he may have more in the future C:

Skullions:
Residence: Scattered around the world- The largest concentrations are found in the Waldriech, Brixton, and Izumo regions.
Distinguishing features: They have lithe, odd shaped humanoid bodies, and usually a very pale skin.
Image:
About: Skullions are a diverse race of both natural and cursed spirits, taking form into a living creature. Though some Skullions are able to co-exist with other races, most follow the Skullion Emperor Asmodeus in war against the other races, while some are entirely independent. The ways of they’re life depend on their faction- ranging from tribal life to post modern technology.

Now for some races by ~three-planes

Humans

Dorian Republic
Area: Ionian Archipelago and Coastline (Ionian Coast, Toriyeh, Lunaria, Yargos, Avion, Chronos)
The Dorians are a technologically and magically advanced civilization that inhabits a coastal section of the continent, along with an archipelago nearby. They used to inhabit most of the mainland, but previous wars have prompted them to isolate themselves, though they do welcome foreigners with open arms. The key to their advancement is the use of magic crystals to power their machines, along with steam power. Their greatest achievement is a floating, semi-artificial island between the Capital Island of Lunaris and the Eastern island of Toriyeh. While they have a formidable army of soldiers and magicians, their greatest strength lies with their Air Force – possessing large and powerful airships and large numbers of smaller airship fighters. The Dorians have also a powerful type of steam-powered machine called a 'Machina', which often is piloted by a Dorian. The Dorians are in Marie's rp.

Independent States of Argosia
Area: Argosia and surrounding mountains\coast
The Argosians are a highly advanced future society that utilizes robots and other machines. They try to keep away from complete automation, due to previous issues with Artificial intelligences going crazy and sending the society to complete chaos. There are androids and other sentient machines roaming the city, but their influence is limited – most are simple robots and drones programmed to tasks. The city is mostly human, but is occupied by pockets of Autonians and Avionians, who often have relationships and bonds with them. Argosia's strength is it's technology – building devices for various situations. Their military is formidable, but it's soldiers are relatively green – they aren't well trained as most human militaries. They occupy most of the mainland and coastline. This group is used with Kuder's rp.

Mechadonians


Area: Terra Navi and the surrounding valley
The mechadonians are 'organic' machines – anthropormorphic vehicles that can convert between being fully human (with traces of their machineness), a semi-human form with more machinery as part of their bodies, or a full machine form, which can vary in size. They were created from the remains of a civilization that destroyed itself – the only surviving remains of the civilization were nanotech robots that repaired machinery and healed and repaired organic tissues. The nanomachines unfortunately had somewhat scrambled programming, and had mostly corpses and broken machinery to repair. However, upon absorbing a relatively intact computer database, they started improvising by combining machine parts with the dead bodies and covering machine parts with organic tissue. The result was an organic-mechanical being. The nanomachines created about a thousand of these beings, with varying models of cars and aircraft. They are split into two ethnic groups – Autonians and Avionians. It is also well to note that they possess an immunity to poison fumes, though they are susceptible to sickness from electromagnetic waves and radiation. Also, in their human forms, they need to eat organic foods as well as petroleum based items.


Avionians
Avionians are the result of the nanomanchines repairing and combining organic tissue with aircraft parts and computers. Known body types are gliders, propeller aircraft, jets, airliners, helicopters, and some spacecraft such as shuttles. They obviously form the air force for the mechadonians – since they are machines themselves. Their capital lies above the Autonian's city, atop a large plateau, where they can dispatch their troops out the best to protect themselves and Autonia.

Autonians
Autonians are the nanomachines' product after combining land vehicle parts with organic tissue and computers. They vary more in body types than avionians do, since the previous civilization had land vehicles longer. Autonian body types include off road vehicles, motorcycles, sedans and coupes, tanks, jeeps, sportsters, race cars, and various other land vehicles. Because of the many varied types of land vehicles among the Autonians, they possess a superior Army due to their mobility. The Autonians' city surrounds Terra Navi, a large plateau where the Avionians reside.
