Lemurs are usually only found in Magascar Islands, located between the Red Sea and the Peace Sea and they aren't very common around the world. As they are friendly, humans usually allow them to live in their cities and territories, but they usually prefer to live in Clans and each Clan is one species of Lemurs - in total there are only 10 lemur Clans, according to the 10 existent species. They live in different areas and islands, but they tend to live closer (or interact more) with those who belong to a similar genetic pool, even allowing interbreeding in very specific situations.
Some species are frugivorous, some eat foliage, others include insects in their diets, and some are even only feed on leaves of bamboo. All lemurs are at least partly arboreal, and as such, their houses are often built on trees or at least a part of the house is somehow part of trees (using roots as walls, for example). They are very agile humanoids, fast and elegant, and are able to leap from a tree to another with much ease. The lifespan is around 80 years and their agility decreases exponentially after they've reached 60.
Humanoid lemurs are friendly, but this doesn't mean they are sweet. They are very nervous and suspicious, and they are difficult to connect with. The Clans are specially territorial and possessive. They follow their own set of strict rules, have big attachment to their culture and nature, and they reject any form of religion.
Lemur Catta Clan
Lemur catta Clan is the Ring-Tailed Lemur Clan, which Hakakku's mother belonged to. This Clan has about 50 members, and they all live together like a big community; their presence in Magascar is inside the forests, away from the beaches and costal areas - it has high treets where they've built their arboreal city.
They do not eat meet. Lemur Catta feed on plants, leaves, flowers, fruit, and even sap and bark, and only occasionally they eat insects. It's heard that a Lemur Catta might start eating meat, fish or others once they go to the city, but reports say this will decrease their health.
Humanoid Lemurs are normal sized, if not a bit smaller than humans. Their tail is long with black and white rings, which is where the species gets its common name.
The animal form of these Humanoids is like any ring-tailed lemur. These lemurs have grey or rosy brown backs with lighter grey or brown hind legs and white stomachs. Their faces are also white with triangular black markings around their eyes and black noses. It's usually difficult to distinguish them when they are in their animal forms.
Even though the animal lemur breeds polygamously, the Humanoid doesn't. With Humans, they learned to develop their feelings of love and relationship with others and thus a female will only have one mate and vice-versa. It's common for both sexes to have an annual mating season, which is a time that makes the Lemurs more receptive and sexually active. Lemur catta mates from mid April to June and the females give birth in August or September. The normal gestation period is 4 to 4.5 months, and usually females give birth to 1 or 2 young. Male's mating season starts around their 16 years of age and females around their 14th year. Though they do have a mating season, they are also capable of mating and breeding outside it, thanks to a hormonal and reproductive system close to a human's.
Ring tailed lemurs are social animals, as their clan has about 50 members. Although sometimes considered less territorial than other lemur species, these animals do show territorial behavior during breeding season. Females are a lot more territorial than males, and they are dominant. In other words, Lemur catta Clan is a matriarchal society, and the females are the ones who decide what is good for the clan.
Dragons were often considered Mythological creatures, though they are Regular Humanoids. However, unlike most Humanoids, there isn't a dragon animal in the Animal Race, neither are the Irregular Humanoid Dragons; they are exclusively Regular Humanoids who have a Humanoid form and an animal form.
There are three types of dragons:
Scaled Dragons
These dragons' body is mostly covered in scales, which is where they get their name from. They are the most common kind of dragons, often seen in stories and pictures and there are many different species of Scaled Dragons: True Dragons (Chromatic dragons - Blue Dragon, Gold Dragon, Black, Red, Green...), Lung Dragons (the Oriental dragons), Planar Dragons (extremely rare; they live on a different plane along with Demons and Angels and they are also called "spiritual dragons") and Lesser Dragons (Fairy Dragons, Wyverns, Pseudodragons, and other Draconic creatures).
Furred Dragons
Furred dragons are the rarest of them all. They have their bodies mostly covered in fur. These dragons are only found in high mountain forest areas where it's cold, and to which they've adapted the best. They are Chromatic Dragons and their elements is related to their color (warm colors dragons breathe fire, cold colors dragons breathe ice, soft colors breathe air, green breathe sand storms, so on). They are also the smallest in size, usually being smaller than a giraffe.
The Damned or the Shadow Dragons
These dragons are among the most vicious and blood thirsty beasts in the whole dragon group. They aren't a different species as they come from Scaled Dragons or Furred Dragons who have committed themselves to insanity; it's known that a dragon with mental illness can quickly turn into a Damned, specifically if their mental illness causes outbursts of anger and paranoid psychosis. While stories speak of the "Seven deadly sins" and the "Seven holy virtues", as well the Old Gods, it's not known exactly to what extend it relates to them. It's also unknown if these dragons will ever return to their old form, mostly because the measures taken to control them and stop their mayhem is death. It's also told - not known, though - that if a dragon king becomes a Damned, the kingdom will be cursed.
Dragons are currently exiled in the North of the planet, and as they live very far away from Humans, most believe dragons are extinct - or even just a myth - because no one in the Human territory has ever seen one. To help this, it's very rare to see a humanoid dragon in any area where other humanoid creatures populate, as they are much closed about themselves and have created their own kind of civilization, which is thousands of years old dating from before the Year Zero.
The dragon is typically depicted as a large and powerful serpent or other reptile. This is, however, wrong; they are very close to mammals, especially felines due to their posture, as well as being warm-blooded and having an eye composition similar to felines (but much more complex). A good example of this is the placement of the legs: Reptiles have their legs placed on the sides of their body, while most mammals have them placed underneath their body; dragons also place their rear foot where their front foot was previously, much like most stalking feline predators. When attacking a prey, they move exactly the way a feline does.
They do, however, have magical or spiritual qualities, which is why people who are associated with the spiritual world have pictures and other accessories with dragons, even dragon body parts - because of so, dragon related items are very expensive, though most people do not believe these items to be real.
In the old times of the world, dragons and other creatures were numerous living in almost any ecosystem. As they were forced to adapt to new surroundings after they were banned by the Humans, the dragons began to evolve into different kinds, to allow them to live in coldest or the hottest parts on the world. For example, some have grown fur around their bodies and others have grown scales and their bodies are shaped as snakes making them manageable to swim in the seas.
The lifespan of a dragon reaches little over 1000 years of age, and the pups age like a normal human until the age of 7, and after that age, a dragon will start to age very slowly. They stop aging when they look around their 30's and they remain young until they've reaches their final breath.
Dragons lay eggs, usually one at a time and they do not have mammary glands - breasts are simply a similarity to humans they have in their Humanoid form. It takes around two weeks for an egg to develop inside the mother's womb and once she has laid it, it'll take about one month and half for it to hatch. The eggs are quite big, requiring for the female dragon to be in her animal form when they lay, and they are covered in a thick shell that protects the young developing pup inside.
Mother dragons are very protective of their eggs and recently born pups, showing aggression even towards their own mate. It's common for the mate who does not have access to the pup to stay on guard, gather food and protect the den. New hatched pups can't transform into their humanoid form until they are about 4 months off age, and that's how long the mother will be over-protective, not allowing anyone nearby.
In early stages of life, the pup will be fed by its parents - first the mother, then the father as well - which usually consists of already digested food that the parents regurgitate.
Dragons have special organs similar to the guttural pouches in horses that can produce elements such as fire, ice, wind and others, which they spit through her mouth (NOT the nostrils because these don't have enough resistance nor power to expel such huge quantity of energy).
As dragons, they are pretty strong, even in their humanoid form. The claws, jaws, teeth and powerful muscles allow them to have incredible speed, strength and attack power. However, because it's skin that covers their body when they are in their humanoid form, they do not have much resistance then.
Their animal body is much more resistant since the scales or fur protect them from most harm, pretty much like an armor (their "soft" area is the belly and under the neck, as well as eyes and behind the ears). In their dragon form, these beasts can fight most types of physical magic, however, when humanoid, it affects them more. It's necessary to mention that the Damned are immune to most magic (except Demon/Angel magic) and furry dragons are the weakest of the dragons because fur isn't as strong as scales.
Furry and Scale dragons can mate and originate hybrid dragons, which will look like a mix of the two. These dragons are much more resistant than Furry dragons, but not more than Scale dragons but they are really big, originating colossal dragons.
Humanoid cats are as common as humanoid dogs, birds and regular pets to humans. Even though there are some outsider tribes or lonely humanoids, these species prefer living with humans in their cities and they are very used to their way of thinking, culture and habits.
A humanoid cat lives as much as a normal human. They are very suspicious about everything, always on alert, and they can be as malicious as a normal cat. Sometimes they are lonesome, but they can have a family like a human would; but as cats, they can be aggressive towards strangers and any other situation that frightens them. When young they are attention seekers, they have the need to scratch and train their claws, and they prefer to use their animal form instead of their human form.
Cats are similar in anatomy to the other felids, with strong, flexible bodies, quick reflexes and teeth adapted to killing small prey. As nocturnal predators, cats use their acute hearing and ability to see in near darkness to locate prey. However, this hunting instinct has been suppressed, since humans do not accept this behavior.
Despite being solitary hunters and some preferring not to have a family, cats are a social species and use a variety of vocalizations, pheromones and types of body language for communication. These include meowing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling, and grunting, even in their humanoid form. They can form groups with hierarchies, families or simply share their lives with someone. Like humans, they have learned monogamy and family ties.
They are carnivores, buy they've adapted to ingest other types of food, though without meat a cat cannot survive; meat is enough for them to survive with no water and no extra ingredients. Some foods like plant-derived nutrients aren't properly digested by them, though. It's to note that, unlike the animal, Humanoid cats CAN taste sweetness to a certain degree (not as much as humans). And, of course, Humanoid cats have cat tongues, with backwards-facing spines (papillae) .
Humanoid cats have excellent night vision and have slit pupils that adapt to the quantity of light. Unlike the animal cat, Humanoids can see colors like humans do. Their hearing is also quite good. Not only can cats hear sounds too faint for human ears, they can also hear sounds higher in frequency than humans can perceive since their usual prey (rodents) make high frequency noises. They also have an acute sense of smell and are extremely sensitive to pheromones, strong plants (such as catnip) and can identify trails.
Unlike the animal, the Humanoid doesn't give birth to more than 2 cubs at a time (there can be more twins, but those are extremely rare situations). They have various periods of heat through the year, and those periods last for about 4 to 7 days, though it depends of the female a lot; like Humanoid Lemurs, even if they have a heat/breeding season, that does not mean they can't be sexually active during the rest of the year. Cats became sexual active around their 10/11 years old and once they are in their mating season (both genders), the males became especially territorial towards any other male. Usually, the females are the ones to take care of the kittens, and, if they live in a family there is always a dominant cat, either the male or the female.
Feral humanoid cats also exist. They are cats, however are unfamiliar with humans and do not live with them. Feral cats may live alone, but most are found in large groups called Feral Colonies, which occupy a specific territory usually associated with a source of food. They are much more animalistic than those that share a common place with humans and they tend to be much more aggressive.
Leporids are a group of mammal humanoids that include rabbits and hares, and similar. Like the Animal Race, it's a group that means "those that resemble lepus" (hare), and they are common to the point of being numerous - though there are some rare species - and are spread all over the world. As they the basic and most common prey for most predators, they found refuge within Human cities and as such live along side Humans and follow them pretty much everywhere, while avoiding any area where the Human rule isn't present.
They are smaller than humans and adapted for rapid movement. They always have long legs, and they are usually thin and elegant, though it's not weird to see a bigger rabbit due to its sedentary life besides the Humans. They have long, mobile ears, with an excellent sense of hearing. They have good night vision, though they are quite good during the day as well.
Leporids are almost exclusively herbivorous (with very few rare exceptions) and they weren't able to adapt to human food like Cats or Dogs. They feed primarily on grasses and herbs, although they also eat leaves, fruit, and seeds of various kinds. Their digestive system is similar to an animal Rabbit, though they are not coprophagous due to becoming "civilized" (a word they often use) - in order to substitute the lack of caecotrophes consumption, they usually take vitamin and nutrient supplements. Like the Animal, though, they have power front incisor teeth and their teeth are constantly growing, which means they need to constantly feed on hard grass and hay to keep their teeth at a regular size.
Gestation follows the animal rabbits and as such, it varies from 28 to 50 days. Breeding season occurs all year, and this means Leporids are very prone to mate; they are incredibly sexual species and they have found many different ways to avoid not just aggression between members of the community, but also gestations. Leporids can have several litters a year, which can cause their population to expand dramatically in a short period of time when resources are plentiful. In order to avoid this as it'd affect the place they live in, it's common for Humans and Leporids both to agree that females ought to have only a litter a year.
As prey, Leporids are nervous creatures. They don't trust strangers easily and they prefer to flee fast when something does not feel right. They avoid danger and they often follow along with the rules rather than trying to create their own idea of society. Leporids do not create their own clans or kingdoms and are very close to Humans, who offer them safety and stability in their cities; they have adapted many human customs, such as monogamy and families - which are very numerous. However, they are all very energetic, highly strung and sometimes difficult to handle due to all that energy. Overall, when they allow a stranger to get to know them, they will find them quite nice and friendly.
While Animal Cows are addressed as "Cattle", that name is highly offensive to Humanoid Cows as it's used with prejudice. As such, they are addressed as Cows or Bulls, even though cattle would be correct term. Cows/Bulls are able to interbreed with other closely related species and originate fertile humanoids; as such, sometimes it's difficult to create a correct taxonomy and it's questionable if they should be separated from other ungulate humanoids like Yacks, Gaurs or even Bisons.
These humanoids are ruminants, meaning their digestive system is highly specialized to allow the use of poorly digestible plants as food. Cows/Bulls have one stomach with four compartments, the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum, with the rumen being the largest compartment. Cattle are known for regurgitating and re-chewing their food, known as "cud" chewing and once swallowed again, it's further digested in the rumen. Though there is much to say about this type of digestion, this is what allows these humanoids to thrive on grasses and other vegetation.
The gestation period for a cow is about nine months long and these are usually large babies, which means the female must remain in her humanoid form during most of the gestation. The calves depend on their mother's milk for about 3-4 months and are very dependent on their mothers for the first couple of years of life. They have breeding season all year long that ceases when pregnancy occurs; it's very common for female cows to refuse any sexual contact during the months of pregnancy or even the first couple of months post-partum. They aren't, however, highly sexual animals (like rabbits are, for examples).
Their temperament is very varied, but they are sociable animals who often form groups based on gender, though groups may share same place to live and can even form monogamous families. Females form hierarchies based on age, however males do it based on strength and posture.
Cows and Bulls have good senses like most humanoids, but their dominant sense is vision, followed by taste which is similar to human's.
They live near humans as they are friendly enough, but there are feral Cows/Bulls as well, living outside human cities and territories. Though these are rare, these are also a lot more violent and imposing, and as such, most prefer not to approach them.
Foxes aren't rare, and as their main food source are rabbits, they seem to spread out as far as rabbits do. However, as the Human rule was imposed on the land, foxes became quite friendly even towards those they once called preys, and live freely in human territory despite their predatory nature.
They are usually small and short, but lean and elegant. They live around 80 years and they are known for their adaptability and quick thinking. They aren't pack animals and usually live with their families in monogamous relationships, but it's very common for foxes to find new mates after some years; divorce would be very common because of that, and so most foxes simply decide not to marry. Those who do, usually take their vows to a very deep level.
Foxes are omnivores. Their diet is mostly rabbit, but they are known to eat large quantities of invertebrates and other small vertebrates like birds and reptiles. They also eat eggs and plans. It's common behavior for foxes to cache a lot of food, so in a fox's home there is never food lacking.
While these humanoids have learned to be able to mate all through the year, they also have heat, from one to six days once a year. The gestation lasts around 50 days and vixens have up to four cubs, and the cubs are small enough to allow the female to go through pregnancy in her humanoid form.
Foxes have excellent ears and sense of smell. They are quick by nature and they are often seen on the run because they always seem to have a lot of energy. However, they are also seen as sly humanoids, highly intelligent and too smart for their own good.
Merfolk , also known as the merpeople, are aquatic mythological humanoids, and the only known humanoid that inhabits the sea and waters. While animals usually have a humanoid counterpart, aquatic animals do not – merfolk includes all sort of aquatic humanoids and all of them are considered mythological humanoids.
They are always half-humanoid, half-aquatic creature; they might have fish tails, or even orca tails, seals tails, and some might have reptile tails. They are amphibious and known for their beauty, but also their unruly personality. Stories that they lure seamen to their death are common and most say a merperson’s greatest weapon is their looks and sultry voice; these stories are not entirely true, but they aren’t lies either.
Mermaids possess superhuman strength, capable of tearing holes through solid wood. They do not have visible fangs or claws, however they are capable of pulling them out if necessary, depending on the animal species they are related to. They are very fast swimmers and capable of leaping out of the water, allowing them to be perfect aquatic hunters. Some merfolk live in very deep places that not even humans can reach; these usually do not surface as they are used to a different kind of pressure. Physically, merfolk are very different from each other and might have many different characteristics, from extra fins or membranes, to different – and even strange – skin colors.
Merfolk do not live long; most species live only up to 50 years and such they live their lives very fast. They are also very in tune with the planet’s oceans and the moon, and it seems obvious that their moods influenced by ocean patterns. This is what makes their personality and way of life complicated. With the connection to the ocean and their relatively short lifespan, they live life to the fullest and consider themselves to be truly alive – but also insist on looking at everything and everyone around them as incomplete. For that same reason, merfolk are never truly satisfied with the people that dwell on land.
They are rather neutral, though. While land-dwellers bore them, they forge alliances with them, only to protect their oceans, usually helping them to hunt in return. Because they are the only humanoid living in the seas and waters, places where humans can’t reach, humans are unable to control or overpower the merfolk; in fact, you could say that these are the only humanoids that humans were never able to interfere directly with and the only humanoids that still to this day will not consider human rule global. Humans, however, look to forge alliances with mermaids as they don’t seem to care for the human oppression of the other land dwellers through the years.
Elves are members of the longest lived species in the world, and they are known for their beauty, perception, grace, and great spellwork. They are Mythological Humanoids and as such, they do not have an animal form; Elves look human, but they have pointy ears and some different characteristics depending on what species of Elf. Biologically, their body lives up to 1000 years, and they age like a human until they are around they 15 years of age, when they hit puberty (later than a human, yes); from then on, they age rather slowly. Elven reproduction is very similar to human's - they have no breeding or heat season and a baby will take 9 months to be formed and grow inside the mother's uterus.
Elfen history dates from after the fall of the Ancient Religion and they are one of the few races that practice a religion very similar to the Old Religion of the Ancient Gods, called "Creatilar"; this religion (just like many religions) defends that after death all souls go to the River of Souls (an actual place in another plane that does exist) where they will wait for reincarnation. However, there are some special souls - the first souls - that when they are reborn, they will have a very specific role in the world and it's thanks to them that big moments in history happen. These are the very first souls created directly from the hands of the Maker, and they are called "Saints"; they are said to be under the Maker's path.
Elves can be killed, like any human or animal, have no regeneration nor have healing abilities besides magic they need to learn first. Unlike popular belief, Elves aren't immortal. However, their souls are immortal and though the River of Souls exists, the Elves that can access it can only see Elf Souls and as such, they only have proof that reincarnation happens in Elves, but not in other species.
When an old elf dies, their soul moves to the River of Souls, the "Birth" place of souls; souls cannot die by natural causes, but souls can be born in the River. As such, inside this river there is a constant flow of new souls being created and old souls arriving. When a soul is ready to be reborn, it leaves the River and looks for a pregnant female Elf, and they will take the body of the baby. However, soul reincarnation is a harsh process, it takes time and there are several other souls around the same body trying to enter - yet, only one will. This means the souls that couldn't enter the body will return to the River of Souls once more.
These souls always keep their memories from their past lives. While many would see the mother as a carrier, Elves actually treat the female as their actual mother and love her very much. They are very respectful of their family; however, elves are not perfect or always moral, like the stories tell. Adultery and drama also exist, specially if it involves previous reincarnations.
Elves have acute senses and are able to see clearly even in low-light conditions. Furthermore, they all have large pointed ears, different skin colors, hairs and markings are also natural. They are tall, slim and slender, they seem perfect and well balanced, and like humans, they are omnivorous. Their language is Elven, and they are in extreme contact with the nature. They sense when the forest "speak", the wind "talks" and the sun "smiles"; while they use these exact words, it means they can read signals from the nature and understand their surroundings, which allows them to use Magic quite easily. They tend to preoccupy themselves with music, art, nature learning, magic, and both males and females are equal and the same.
They don't always live in Kingdoms, though these are most common. Elf warriors are amazing opponents when not faced with relatively advanced weapons. They are cautious warriors and take time to analyze their opponents and the location of the fight if at all possible, maximizing their advantage by using ambushes, snipers, and camouflage. They are said to be beautiful even when fighting.
They are the most spiritual beings on this world - even more than Angels or Demons that live in a whole different plane of existence. It's very easy for an Elf to acquire magic without even learning much about it, and though only very specific Elves can access the River of Souls, they are the one species that proves the existence of Souls. They are very respected by Humanoid community and humans, but they are very secretive and avoid non-Elf creatures. They usually live in deep forests, in secret cities that are nearly impossible to find and Humans don't have much of a choice but to let them stay o matter what they think of them.
There are several different types of Elf species, and they all live together, even thought some kingdoms may have only one specific kind.
- Wood elves are the most common. Their skin and hair tends to be light
- Night elves are also known as the dark elves. These are much more connected to magic and the ones that can become prophets.
- Gray elves are those who have grey skin. They are usually barbaric, wild and less civilized. They live near Dark Colonies and only recently were considered a different race, being before considered Night Elves; humans do not known of their existence.
- Wretched elves are a dangerous kind. Some souls that couldn't find a body to reincarnate will take a dead body, thus creating a wretched. Mixing the magic from the soul and the corpse, this will allow the Elf to become immortal. It's the only known way for elves to remain immortal. They are very similar to zombies, except they do still keep their mind in tact.
- Half elves aren't really elves, but they are common. There are two ways of creating an Elf hybrid: by interbreeding with another species or race, or a dying elf gives another being part of their soul. The part offered is sentient - it gives them elf powers, strength, spells, relation to nature, characteristics, yet not memories nor personality. Technically, the dying elf does die, and this is one of the ways of turning a Human or a regular/irregular Humanoid into a Mythological Humanoid.
Prophets
Prophets are (usually) night Elves capable of accessing the River of Souls. There is only one alive at each time, which means for a new Prophet to be born, the last one must die, and it's important to notice that these souls do not reincarnate, though they continue to exist in the River of souls to share knowledge with new prophets that preceded them. These elves have special eyes that allow them to see the future. Their bodies are filled with dark magical water - the water from the River of Souls - which can be used and controlled for about anything and everything. It can become hard, sharp, fluid, it can become hot to the point of burning, or cold to the point of freezing. This water can form almost anything and work as practically anything as well (including shield). For this water to be expelled or enter the body once again there must be an entrance; therefore these elves usually are born without one of the limbs and the water will come from there. As this water allows them to create sculptures and some form of ink, it's common for the Prophets to use visual images rather than words when telling the future.
The future these prophets see aren't always correct, however. The prophet can see multiple future outcomes and probabilities and it depends on each Prophet individually as how this ability is used; some see several short-term futures, others would rather see everything in a long-term - but all of them are changeable. These are potential futures, but never a set-in-stone event.A more precise future is called "Immediate future" and it occurs when someone has something set on their mind and nearly nothing will change it, thus, nothing will change their future actions. This is extremely short-term.
It's common for Prophets to always see their own death.
One thing the Prophets can create is the "Spirit's Powder". Elves are born and they die, like nature predicts; however, not all want to die physically at the age of 1000 for many reasons and as such, many choose not to go to the River of Souls and prefer to live longer by keeping their physical body. So a potion is created, made from souls from the River of Souls, called Spirit's powder; these souls are chosen by the Prophet as souls that will take simply too long to be reincarnated again, they are destroyed and the result is a fine powder that an Elf can add to the water or food. This is the only known way for a soul to be destroyed in the River, and it takes around five years for a soul to be transformed into powder. A soul that has a long lifespan will create a big amount of powder, while a soul with a smaller lifepsan will create little amount, which means the amount of powder is related to years the soul destroyed has lived; if a soul has lived 1000 years, it'll create enough powder to provide 1000 years for other elves.
Monwantan elves and the Prophet Richard
The elves in Monwantan Forest live in the area close to the human city Elryonë, and their kingdom is guarded by magic, keeping it hidden from prying eyes. This Elven Kingdom is ruled by King Bayn and the Queen Archem; although the two are no longer a couple, the both still keep their functions as rulers.Up until recently they were the Kingdom where the prophet had been born, and the current prophet lives in the city close to them, giving the Monwantan Elven Kingdom much importance among the elf kingdoms and territories.
The current Prophet is Richard, a half-elf who took Morya's soul (with a total of 6000 years lifespan: she lived 3000 and had other 3000 left until her lifespan ended); he exchanged her 3000 years left to form Spirit's Powder and became 58 again. After, he took a bit of Spirit's powder himself to revert back to look 26. He also had to cut off his right arm as payment and to be able to use the Dark Water. No prophet soul was regenerated in the River of Souls because Morya's soul is technically still alive inside Richard.
"No names" are a species of mythological humanoids that, unlike many would think, are not part of Demonoloy-Angelic Choirs or the Demoniac-Angelic branch. They are, however, either Demons or Angels, though these names are clearly not related to any demon or any angel. Angels have a mark around their neck, while demons have a mark under one of their eyes.
"No names" are born without a name and without memories of how they came to be; they appear to be "born" as adults, usually waking up on caves with no recollection on how, why and when they got there. The only thing inside their mind is that they must find and kill the one who has their name, without really knowing why or what will happen after. They can be females or males. No one even saw a birth of a "No names" so they don't know if they were once children or not. "No names" cannot reproduce, they do not need food, and they are ageless, however they can be killed as their strength is similar to a low class angel. The marks on their necks, besides working as identifiers, are also a source of power and allow them to change their image slightly, such as growing fangs or claws which they use to fight, but they are easily surpassed by guns. "No names" have no access to magic, nor angelic or demoniac powers.
In order to find their names, "No names" must hunt people down and eat their brains while the victim is still alive. They will gain all the memories of the person they ate, but if the name is not theirs, they forget those memories soon after. As they are vicious, very one-track minded and murderous, they are often killed on sight, but they can pretend to be another species by hiding the marks with make-up or clothes, thus they can hide in plain sight too. Though no one ever tries to find out about it, there are in total 14 "No Names", 7 males and 7 females, and when one is killed, another shows up to replace them.
When they find their names, they are no longer considered "No Names" and become Sins or Virtues, depending if they were "No Name Demons" or "No Name Angels", and they gain new names based on the seven deadly sins and seven holy virtues. Sins and virtues are easily recognized for their peculiar look, but above all, due to their open third eye on the forehead and their two eyes are always closed; they an revert back to their original form, however. Each Sin or Virtue has a power very specific to themselves that no other Sin or Virtue has.
No one actually saw a living sin or virtue. There are records, but not much is known about them, and the"No names" that currently exist can't tell where other Sins and Virtues are, much less if there is any alive. However, in the comic, three No Name Angels were able to turn into Virtues (Love, Patience and Morality/Chastity) and there is a known living No Name Demon who is looking for someone called Morya - his name.
