Ars Arcanum

Race Ranking:
0.) Deus - Delta - These divine spirits have no physical form, while instead they are beings of pure holy energy. They are also known as gods, and each, when they decide to manifest themselves in the world, have their own physical form. Each Deus has its own element which it controls.
1.) Demigod - Alpha - Demigods are half Deus, half Alpha species. Their divine power is unmatched, except for the Deus themselves. They appear as the Alpha species they are the half of with golden hair, glowing silver eyes and pure skin.
2.) Angels - Angels appear as winged humans. Their wings sprout off of their backs, usually, and they have one pair. (Unlike Garudas and Sirens. The difference in wing location and count is a subject of great conflict. Never confuse one with the other two.) Their wings are light colored, and range from white to pink to teal and the like. They have intensely strong divine magic and their other magic is quite strong as well.
3.) Dawn Elves - They have pale skin, lighter hair, pointed ears (Either off to the sides or upward at the tips), and a thin frame. They are quite dexterous and have powerful magics.
4.) Faerie - Faeries are just elves with dragonfly-like wings protruding from their backs. The color of their wings varies with the type of magic they have the highest affinity with. Their magic skills are nearly unmatched.
5.) Cait Sith - Feline humanoids with cat ears and a tail. They also have claws, but scarcely use them. They are the pinnacle of dexterity in the world.
6.) City Dwarves - Civilized dwarves who left their mines long ago and made allegiances with the gods. Simply put, they are just short, squat humanoids with a habit of drinking.
7.) Half Giants - Big people. Half human- half giant. 'Nuff said. Surprisingly, they are higher ranked than both humans and giants due to their combination of intellect and strength that neither humans nor giants have.
8.) Chienthropes - Essentially the dog versions of Cait Sith, but lack the dexterity. They make up for it with the fact that their race's females are usually adorable and loved by the other races.
9.) Humans - Bland, boring humans.
10.) Mermaids - Do I need to put this here? Humans with fish tails.
11.) Anima - (Finally, an interesting, unique race!) Anima are animals that have the capability to exist in a human form, and usually do so outside of a private environment. When in human form, they retain a tattoo of a rune which says the name of their usual animal form.
12.) Solar Elves - Phi - high elves, but tan, less magic, much more dexterity.
13.) Half Elves - A hybrid of elves and humans.
14.) Halflings - A hybrid of dwarves and humans. (Also known as midgets.)
15.) Naiads - A type of humanoid spirit with an affinity for water. They have the unique ability to transmute themselves into water, transmute water into inanimate objects, and manipulate water to an extent.
16.) Dryads - Tree hugger naiads.
17.) Giants - Big people. Huge. Like, a two stories tall. With their ten year olds.
18.) Werewolves - (NOT LYCANTHROPES: Lycanthropes are members of any species infected with the lycanthropic curse, which turns anyone affected into a powerful, resilient, bloodthirsty wolf when the full moon rises.) Werewolves are lupine humanoids with wolf ears and a lupine tail. They also have fangs and claws, and use them significantly more than Cait Sith.
19.) Elementals - Essentially Naiads and Dryads with an affinity for fire or air.
20.) Garudas - Humanoids with four wings on their backs in a set pattern. These wings are usually a darker shade than those of angels.
21.) Scorpio - Humanoids with a scorpion tail. Nothing special here.
22.) Dragonspawn - Draconic humanoids with some having Draconic breath, all having scales and a forked tongue.
23.) Half-Orc - Half human, half Orc.
24.) Centaur - Omega - Centaurs are humanoids with a horse's legs, rear end and tail.
25.) Lamia - Humanoids with a scaly tail in place of their legs.
26.) Krakenspawn - Humanoids with tentacles in place of legs.
27.) Dusk Elves - Just grey-skinned Dawn Elves. However, they come from the demonic planes rather than the divine planes. Also, some of them have bat wings and a pointed tail.
28.) Sirens - Humanoids with wings replacing their arms, and avian feet rather than humanoid. Their singing can, if willed to, lull people into a trance.
29.) Minotaurs - Humanoids with a bull head and tail.
30.) Goblins - Extremely short green people with a habit for stealing.
31.) Slimes - Slow-aging humanoids made of a gelatinous mass which is often squishy.
32.) Orcs - Blue skinned humanoids with low intelligence and weird fangs on their bottom teeth rather than top teeth.
33.) Kobolds - Scaly goblins. That's about all there is to it.
34.) Vampires - (NOT VAMPIRISM AFFECTED BEINGS (VABs): VABs are people infected with the vampirism curse. This curse causes all infected with it to despise sunlight and depend on blood for sustenance rather than food.) Vampires are humanoids with fangs (the normal kind), bat wings, and usually pale skin. They possess the ability to transform into bats at will.
35.) Shade - Shades are humanoids that consist solely of shadow (similar to naiads, dryads and elementals.), can solidify, and can manipulate shadow into physical form and change its shape. A rare few shades can reflect changes in a shadow to the real object from which the shadow is created.
36.) Demonspawn - Half-humanoid, half-demons who appear as humans, however, they will have several odd mutations which differ from Demonspawn to Demonspawn.
37.) Imps - Omicron - Imps are lesser demons which are merely pranksters. Their existence in this world is only to keep the world from being a complete utopia at any point in time. They have no physical form, and can only be seen as energy fluctuations.
38.) Succubus/Incubus - Succubi/Incubi are lesser demons which take physical form, and have extremely strong dark magic, especially enchanting magic (not enchanting objects, enchanting people). They are labeled as dangerous. However, none have been seen, and they are believed to have powerful glamours to protect themselves from notice.
39.) Demons - Demons are creatures which come from the Abyssal Plane and exist only to serve Devils and destroy the natural order of things. Their physical appearance is extremely varied.
40.) Devils - Ultimate lords of evil. Nothing else is known about them.
