Characters and Glossary












ArchXehinoz: A race of underground dwelling Trolls deep within planet Earth, ArchXehinoz are humanoid in shape and mammoth in size, complete with exoskeleton heads that resemble human skulls. ArchXeninoz were originally an Oafish slave race to the once superior pureblood Xehinoz, until many grew in intelligence and physical capabilites and rose against their oppressors. A colony of surviving Archxehinoz took refuge near Earth's surface where pureblood Xehinoz were deathly vulnerable to the natural atmosphere and oxygen of Earth. Asides from a friendly relationship with Oncas, ArchXehinoz are neutral to other races. Chovmod: Earth-born Sentient ooze creatures that take mishapen form to something humanoid as and when needbe. They have noteable extra physical strength along with ESP abilities such as Hypnosis, Illusion Projection and Psychic Invisibility. Little is know of the Chovmods origins but they are efficiently Evil, and they seek to control other races, namely the Human race. Often Chovmods will take a bastardized form of whatever ruling class is present at the time. For whatever reason these monsters have an intense hatred for the Shurokiu. Youkai: A generalised term for an Individual who has been mutated and empowered by Psychic powers. Often the individual's soul is not left intact and what's left of the personality within the body is driven mad with power beyond salvation. What the individual mutates into varies from experiment to ritual. Shurokiu:
A race of aliens that live on Shuromij; a colony of dwarf
planets or floating worlds on the Asteroid belt. They are
pure human in appearance, save for reptilian appendages
and pointed ears. Millions of years ago of they were once
numerous in number, and were the first sentient race to
embrace ESP powers. Unfortunately their bodies at the
time were not ready for it, and because of the cancerous
effects of the ESP poisoning that ensured, the Shurokiu
were wiped out save for those who did not develop ESP
powers. Today the Shurokiu are highly advanced on a
technological scale. However their numbers are a fraction
compared to Earthlings, and they bear a fearful attitude
not just towards Psychic powers but also the occasional
pesterings by Alien invaders. Drago
Visage: Was a feared form of
Therianthropy that the Shurokiu were once capable of.
Under severe stress or injury, the Drago Visage could
briefly metamorphosize a Shurokiu into a reptilian
monster. Raging, animalistic, mad, and deprived of their
former personality, their physical strength and psychic
powers amplified as they failed to tell friend from foe.
It is believed that the Drago Visage can be traced down
the Shurokiu's evolutionary chain, where it is believed
that they were descended from Prehistoric Hydras of Myth
and Legend. DragoHaemophilia:
This is a rare genetic disorder for the Shurokiu in which
the Shyykin levels in the blood that monitors
therianthropy is at a much lower level than normal. This
means a DragoHaemophiliac is more likely to have the
Drago Visage triggured off unless they receive extra
Shyykin treatment at a regular basis. It is believed that
Dragohaemophilia is caused at birth by mild ESP poisoning
within the parents. Nishin
Genma: A Former Special fighting force
on Shuromij, Nishin Genma was a secretive body that was
the first to "sell" the idea of ESP usage to
the Shurokiu public. Dividing an effective army of
operatives into seperate classes (namely Soldier and
Assassin) Nishin Genma taught its operatives the most
extreme of martial arts and psychic powers relevant to
each class. It would deploy the best of the best on
special missions regarding Terrorism, alien enemies of
the Shurokiu, and favours for friendly species. Legend
has it that Nishin Genma helped the Knight templars
during the crusades on Earth in medieval times. Genma
Visage: One of the most prominent of
Psychic experiments in the series, the Genma Visage is
the most pivotal and catastrophic of Nishin Genma's
products. Originally starting as a means to sentiently
control the Drago Visage, the project grew into Nishin
Genma's search for the ultimate weapon, using ESP science
and Black magic to amplify the capabilities of a hardened
individual. Through different means their experts were
able to create several prototypes, side projects and
Models, the most prominent being Mk.1 and Mk.2. Mk.1 was
simply an extension of producing Youkai, albeit the
subjects were sentient and more capable of shapeshifting
back and forth. Mk.2 was what finally made use of the
Drago Visage whilst exploding the subjects powers to
unfathomable degrees. The exact secrets of the Mk.2's
process remains a secret to existing Demigods of this
saga and the dead scientists. DemiGod: A term for someone of extreme psychic or Black Magical power, or a Youkai that is self aware and in control of itself. Oncas: A rare and spiritual race of Earth Humans who are born with cat like tails and occasionally ears. It is believed all Oncas originate from the uncharted island of Krugeri ByakoGunryokun: A psychic power and fighting style gifted to rare individuals, it is believed those Oncas that have this are either possessed or the actual reincarnation of Onca gods themselves. Pure Demon: A term regarding non human monsters from the spirit dimensions, in particular the Nether realm. Several of Nishin Genmas tasks through the centuries was to combat and fight these things. BioDemon: A demon that's born in the Material universe, and develops its abilities from more natural means. Or so they say. Little information is available. ChronoMancy: Various Black magic and ESP based on the manipulation of time. The Cult of Lamia: A bizarre Pagan group dating back thousands of years, the CoL is a following based on what they call the tragic idol of the Libyan and Greek mythology. Comparible to the worship of Dionosys, Lamia is both a symbol of the maltreatment of women, along with being a torchbearing cult for female liberty, anarchy and Chaos theory. Cult members also celebrate hedonistic pleasures, amoral values and the practise of Black Magic. The Britonum War: Concerning the expanded territory once known as the Isle of White on Earth, the Britonum War is a collective term regarding Heroes and Anti Villians rebelling against the bullish authority present on the Isle. The antagonists in question were the violent Corporations, corrupt Businesses, rampant Gang warfare and a psychoticly driven Society eating itself alive. It was noteable for a squad of Nishin Genma operatives being sent down to Britonum, of which all save for one were killed in action. Not even their combined might was anywhere near enough to stop the bloodshed. The Britonum war came to an end when all the main evils were dismantled, with the heroes having to go through hell to survive. |
