Long ago, when times were much simpler, and history had just begun to be recorded, several small meteors fell to Earth’s surface in various locations. Many aboriginal peoples that discovered these meteors thought them signs from the gods of their coming. However, what it truly meant, was something far more sinister. Within the pieces of rock that the tribes would bring home to worship there were small, almost granular sized eggs. After a time those eggs hatched, releasing small spider-like creatures. These creatures were few in number, and many did not survive long after hatching, dying in the sun, or in extreme cold within a few hours to a day. Those that did survive, however, did so through attaching themselves to a Human body, almost like a tick. Once they were attached, they were nearly impossible to remove unless the part of the body they were on was severed.

Over time these “spiders” would slowly begin to move from their starting position on the Human’s body until they were able to get to the base of the neck. This process would take months, or even years due to how slow the creatures moved. Once they had reached the base of the neck they would root themselves to it, burying their bodies beneath the skin, and into the bone, until they finally reached the brainstem. Once they were within the brainstem they would release both eggs as well as a toxin that, while it didn’t affect the host, degraded their bodies and caused their DNA to fuse with the host’s. What this produces were Humans who shared similar traits to that of the parasites that infected them. They needed the blood of another being to survive, and they spread their infection through a bite.

Once the parasite was completely fused with their host’s DNA it also gave the host enhanced senses, speed, and strength. This process did not take as long as getting to the brainstem, usually lasting over a period of a month before it was complete. However, with their newfound strength came weaknesses as well. These… “enhanced” Humans were unable to stand in the sun for long periods of time, their skin being more sensitive to its heat. If they stood in it for too long their skin would begin to blister as if they had third degree burns. For a period of time after their transformation they could not ingest Human food without getting sick in some manner, usually throwing up.

Not only did the host’s capabilities increase, so too did its lifespan. Most of these creatures were able to live nearly quadruple (or more) the span that a normal Human could. The aging process for completely transitioned hosts is nearly two thousand times slower than that of a Human’s. However, after the length of an average Human lifespan had passed their body’s processes would slow down, until they finally came to a complete stop. The only thing that would function in them at this point would be the brain, for as long as they were capable of feeding. At a certain point, this would be impossible, however, causing an almost natural death.

Before their processes shut down they would be able to have children. These children would have no need of a living parasite as their DNA would already be altered. The one thing they would need the parasite for, would be to lay the eggs within them, once that job is done, the parasite would die off. Children born this way would quickly grow to the age of eighteen before their aging process would slow as their parents’ did.




During a period of particularly strong vampiric presence a few aboriginal tribes turned to magic to combat the threat of extinction. Many of them believed in shamanic practices, and turned to their resident shamans to help them. The Shamans conversed with their ancestors and came to create both an elixir and a spell. These two things combined with techniques that were lost over the centuries allowed for the creation of men and women who could transform into beasts.

This spell, and elixir gifted the believer with not only the ability to transform, but also gave them enhanced speed, strength, and senses in their Human form. Originally, the partakers in this ritual were able to transform between their Human form, a humanoid beast form, and a complete beast form. However, over the centuries the knowledge of how they achieved this was lost, leaving descendants with only the ability to transform between Human and Humanoid forms. Not only was that knowledge lost, so too was the knowledge of how to change the type of animal one could turn into. Now, the most common form of a therianthrope, is a werewolf.

Descendants of the tribes which participated in these rituals no longer have to do a ritual to access this power. The magic that was used has infused itself into their life force, making them something more than Human from birth.

Unbeknownst to most of the current descendants, they can change their animal/beast from a wolf to something else, but once this process has been achieved they will never be able to change into a wolf-type therianthrope again. They can also still change between all three of their forms as well, but both of these abilities are very rare, and only make up about .01% of the therianthrope population.




The Fae, or Faerie as they’re sometimes known are an extraterrestrial race. Their original planet was a beautiful place, practically covered in lush forests. They had lived there since the dawn of their race, however, as time went on more and more it appeared as if their planet was rejecting them. The lush forests had begun to die, and many of the Fae were becoming ill for inexplicable reasons. What had they done to deserve this?

After a few years passed for the beings, they finally decided that it was time to leave their home. If they didn’t, their entire race would be wiped out. And so, they set out in search of a planet that could sustain them.

When they finally found one, it was practically empty. The planet had just begun to be able to sustain life. One of the Fae elders took it upon themselves to talk with the newly formed planet’s soul, and learned that its name was Gaia. Earth. They begged the planet to let them live on its surface, and it agreed on one condition.

The Fae would have to live on the version of the planet that was higher up dimensionally so that they did not affect the creatures that were beginning to bud on its current surface. The Fae readily agreed to this, and thus Soviari’itia-calaeum was born. As time went on, the Fae watched over the lower-level Gaia, finding the races that she managed to bear interesting little play things. Occasionally they would lower themselves dimensionally to mess with the creatures, or sometimes, even help them grow.

They were like the ever vigilant big brother who wanted to be the only one to pick on their little sibling.

After a few thousand years an inner turmoil between the Fae began to surface. Originally of one court, their King and Queen began to fight between each other. Apparently, the King had grown jealous of the fact that only the Queen was able to create children. Because of this, the king began to study things in secret. The things he studied allowed him to create living creatures, yes, but they were far from what the natural Fae were. They were abominations, but they were his.

When he had finished creating a few “new” Fae, he came upon a Fae woman who fancied him, and discovered that she could breed unlike many of the other females of their race. With her permission, the King studied this woman, and before long he had actually reared children from her womb.

Shortly after the birth of these children, the King and his new mistress were found out by the Queen and were sent to the far reaches of Soviari’itia. It was in this location that the king formed a new court, thus dividing the Fae in half. Those who followed the King and his new Queen, and those that stayed with the “true” Queen.




Born long before many other races were even beginning to exist, these creatures lived silently within their own realm, Haeline. As their name suggests they hold dominion over life and death. For each living thing there is a Reaper, and almost vice versa. Whenever a species’ numbers exceed that of Reapers, more are created, but from what, no one really knows. In this universe, even the planets are alive.
