Races: Ever since the barrier between our dimension and countless others have been shattered, races of all kind have entered into our world. Humanity is still huge, but other races have decided to share this place with us.
Human: The main race on Earth. Though they are not as strong as every other races, they can adapt and take on any foe!
Advantage:
None.
Disadvantage:
None.
Tamu(Created by @Lucidnonsense): The Tamu are at first glance much like humans and biologically they are very close. Despite numerous differences the Tamu world of Loca is believed to be an alternate timeline that branched off from ours some time in the past which explains why they look so much like us and appear to share some mythology and linguistic traits. The Tamu have had contact with other realms for about a long time and have in the past interbred with many species giving them a larger degree of physical diversity than modern humans. Also eugenics movements have propped up from time to time doing selective breeding to create new breeds of Tamu like humans with dogs.
The Physical differences between Tamu and Humans pale in comparison to the cultural differences. Obviously like other species Tamu have many cultures these cultures are shaped by the environment in which they live, the environment of Loca having far more paranormal phenomenon has shaped the Tamu to be a generally religious people. Cults are seen as one of the building blocks of any successful society, more important than even family. The beliefs of these cults vary wildly. Over time empires have risen and fallen and religions have been born, grown, faded, and even forgotten. The world the Tamu lived in has also shaped Psychology, It takes alot more to drive a Tamu to madness. Some humans believe the Tamu as a species are already mad. Sanity is subjective, What is considered sane for humans is Ignorant to the Tamu, and what is sane for the Tamu is seen as psychotic for humans who do not have much experience in dealing with the occult.
Tamu who come to earth come for a variety of reasons Some are tourists, others are evangelists, Some are here for business and others a refugees. Despite it being many years after contact, many humans do not appreciate the presense of tamu and there are many groups trying to have them deported from Earth sometimes using violence to drive them away. Even within the government movements exist to limit the influence of the Tamu. few have fully embraced the Tamu and those that do usually do it by selectively ignoring parts of their culture.
Despite this, and despite the strong adherance to religion in Loca many Tamu are fairly tolerant people. While some religions believe in the extinguishment of one (or even ALL) Gods and the religions that associate with them most religious groups view other religions as valid just not the path they prefer. some accuse the Tamu of turning a blind eye to abhorant religious practices such as human sacrafice or infant cannibalism. Within the past 300 years the Tamu have experienced some kind of Theological Revolution which seems to have reduced the need for such unsavory practices. Now various watchdog organizations (which some Tamu harshly criticize) Watch over various religious cults and give warnings to those who seek entry. kinda like Movie ratings on earth. Multiple governments exist on Loca with varying degrees of Tyranny or freedom and a variety of economic and religious systems.
For many modern Tamu, theology is seen as a hard science, much like physics or chemistry. Pissing off the Gods is seen no differently as misuse of chemicals. The laws of the gods are not considered to be "moral decrees" so much as safety guidelines. Many machines created by the Tamu utilize thaumaturgical workings to function and nowadays are often given warning labels due to the existence of a vast Consumer Protection agency. for this reason most companies attempt to ensure that products are safe and do not require one to sell souls in order to operate. Speaking of selling souls, There are businesses on Loca that focus on that sort of thing, nowadays "synthetic" souls are used or "refined spiritual essense"
