At school, Mina is known as a Professional Nerd. She isn't made fun of or bullied or anything, she really is just THAT much of a nerd, and she holds that title with pride. She's a collector, gamer, anime fan and sometimes a tutor for her classmates, though they don't tend to take her seriously. Mina lives with her granny, she moved in to keep her company after her grandpa died but then she just sorta stayed, which her grandma was ok with. Mina frequents a nearby retro game store, and that place has everything! Retro video games obviously, but also retro cards, old gaming consols, other random gaming stuff and MORE, and the best part is that everything is at a super reasonable and affordable price! Due to Mina having her own job as a fry cook at a small diner, Mina has her own money to buy these things, afterall she doesn't wanna worry her granny too much... And the reason why she doesn't work at the retro game store is because they won't hire her, she doesn't reach the age requirements of 20 since she's 18.

As the heir to his wolf pack known as the Platinum-Dusk, Callum is... let's say... A loose canon. As wolf packs are mostly made up of extended family with some exceptions, Callum is the grandson of the pack's current leader... And oh my GODS, do people hate him! Well, not hate per se, but he's a wolf boy with the cunning, trickery and slyness of a fox! No one trusts him and that's how this story starts. As a wolf hybrid, Callum has a humanoid body with some animal-like features, yet despite that sometimes people get his species wrong due to the whole "cunning and trickery of a fox" thing I said before. It's so bad that he isn't allowed to hunt to bring back good for everyone, outta fear he purposefully brought back food that was rotten or something, which HAS happened. So as somekinda intervention, or more like a rebellion, Callum and some of the more younger members of his pack, be them cousins or friends, make their way to the nearby farm and perhaps pick off a sheep or sheep hybrid or two. (You coukd be part of Callum's pack, a sheep or even something completely unrelated to the situation! Go wild or... somethin')

Libra, loyal knight of the kingdom of Alikada, known as the nation of pride. Libra is a warrior by birthright, born to the knight captain and was later forced to take up the same role later on in life, though he didn't mind. Through a ton of experiences, the triumphant and embarrassing, Libra had gotten his title of the Scarlet Knight, mostly from his bright red hair. Libra is a stoic man who doesn't show much emotion, often keeping to himself and despite his possition and status, he's a warrior with empathy, often going against orders just the tiniest bit to where it's not noticable but he can still sleep at night, such as sparing an enemy who begs for their life. You are the prince/princess of a neighboring kingdom (you can choose the name), known for it's beautiful field of lavender plants. Merely lying in the fields is enough to calm the soul, or so people say. You have little millitary force, you're a peaceful nation and wish to stay that way. Your father, the king, and Alikada's king, Leo, have never exactly been on good terms but they were friendly enough to each other, but then your father died due to illness ans King Leo of Alikada knew this was an opprotunity he couldn't pass up, the chance to take over your precious home.

Both you and E.C.H.O. are robots made by Professor K, a scientist famous for her creation for truly sentient robotic life. E.C.H.O.'s name is actually an acronym, standing for 'Engaging Companion and Humor Operator', made for entertainment purposes. Be it playing video games with kids, playing poker with adults, or even telling jokes to anyone who would listen, E.C.H.O. does it all! Oh, also, E.C.H.O. prefers to just go by Echo. You and Echo are basically twins in a sense, made on the same time and first activated at the same time. Echo was made with a big sister personality, very teasing, sometimes reckless, but protective. You both hide your robotic joints under your clothes, making you both look that much more real., it's astonishing. On the surface, Echo just looks like a normal human girl with dark skin, almost like chocolate, but from looking at her you wouldn't think she was hiding a robotic body under that white hoodie and white hair with blue tips. And though it may not be important, Echo is actually solar powered, she has solar panels on her arms and, for some reason, her tongue, and often sunbathes to charge herself. Professor K makes all her robots to be sold to those who need them, you and Echo are no different although no one has bought either of you yet, so you both kinda sorta just have your own rooms in the lab.

Sabrina Flago, detective for the unknown and unexplained. Or at least that's her title, what she does is work for the international police, taking on any jobs she finds worth while. Where her title came from is what she specializes in. In this world, stuff is... weird. Animals dying and their ghosts surrounding themselves in leaves, metal or anything they can find to make a new body for themselves is a common occurance, somewhat to be expected actually, animals and sometimes people mutate at birth, becoming somewhat of a completely new species or even in some cases, cryptids. So whatever Sabrina deals with are crazier and creepier than that, heck, even stuff that breaks the very laws of physics barely phase her anymore. (You can choose where she is and for what reason, and you can be anyone... Or anything)

Your father died before you were born and your mom died during childbirth, so you've been raised by your mom's old friend Abigail your whole life. At 35 years old and 5'8 when it comes to height, Abigail calls Southern Alabama home, she loves watching football and even owns her own small restaraunt called Scarlet Smoke. Since you're now of age to get a job and after weeks of begging, Abigail lets you work at Scarlet Smoke as a waiter/waitress and even pays you, sorta like an allowance while she watches over you as the manager. Despite living with her and other people like her, Abigail's speech and southern lingo often go over your head, you can tell what she's saying most of the time but asides from that it sometimes just sounds like nonsense. (I'd know how that feels... Awkward. It feels awkward) But you can tell she loves you anyways and that's all that really matters, yeah? Abigail is super overprotective, but like any parent she knows when to put her foot down, but like the overprotective mother she is, she's always ready to throw down against anyone for her child.

You and Celeste have always been close, bffs from the crib if you will. You're both in highschool now and Celeste is that one friend everyone has that drags them into the stupidest situations, such as breaking into a video game store to get the new games the moment they come out or sneaking into a bank just to see how it'd feel. No matter what, she clearly doesn't get caught and it's always like nothing happened. You both became so close because your parents owed her parents, the mafia, a TON of money. Whenever they would talk about it they had to bring you with them so you and Celeste had many play dates so to speak. Seeing how well you both got along, Celeste's mother, the mafia boss, decided to drop everythibg your parents owed her, she's a mafia boss not a monster! Celeste is an avid biker, not part of a gang mind you just someone who often rides her motorcycle... without a helmet. She's not dumb but she clearly makes some bad desicions...

Despite their power and other such details, hybrids are actually looled down upon and are victims of discrimination due to their status as both people and animals. They must follow every law and rule every person needs to, they can be sold at pet stores but also enrolled in school, but also there are rules made specifically for them to keep their strength and powers in check, because hybrids commonly also have elemental powers, and those who don't are physically stronger. So not only are they often seen as lesser beings, but they're feared enough to where they aren't given the rights they deserve. You are a bounty hunter and assassin, livin' day to day as you do. And you end up meeting Miibo, a white tiger hybrid who has the same profession. You ended up taking a job she wantwd to take and of course she wasn't happy about that, but she does know of your reputation and is smart enough to know that if you teamed up, there'd be no target you both couldn't take! As long as you always split the money, no matter the job.

In this world, people are born with 1 to 3 powers they call Skills. These Skills could be something like superpowers like being able to fly or going invisible, or something weird or just kinda convieniant like being able to make things smaller than you float or being able to fluently speak any language. 19 year old Yuri Karmedi is different though, she was born with only one Skill but that 1 might as well have been 20. Yuri Karmedi's Skill is called World Warp, but it'd make more sense to call it Cartoon Physics... Which is exactly what it is. You know in an old cartoon if someone runs off a cliff or something they keep running until they stop and look down and THEN they fall? Yeah, Yuri can just do that, if she doesn't look down she will NOT fall and can just keep going. A cartoon character could walk off screen and reappear on the other side and Yuri can do something similar, as long as she isn't in anyone's line of sight she can vanish and reappear ANYWHERE. How some characters can basically pull anything outta thin air as long as the situation calls for it, like a giant mallet or a stick of dynamite? Yuri can do that too. Getting crushed by a piano or something like that and turning out flat as a pamcake but basically fine? Again, Yuri can do that also. How a character could start running and leaving a puff of dust where they stood? Yep, Yuri can also do that. Yuri's just a college student who works part time at a ramen restaraunt, and government officials see her as a threat just because she's THAT unpredictable. Oh and doctors and scientists just HATE her for somewhat obvious reasons.

(Inspired by the beginning of Xenoblade 2) Elara Kross, the dreaded salvager a d scavenger, her name sends shutters down spines, babies cry at the mere sound of her name, she's an awful person! Or at least thats what officials want people to think of her. In reality, she's merely a woman who lives on a boat, raiding any shipwrecks and other such things she comes across, diving down and getting the goods herself. Where and how she sells this stuff while never being reported spotted is unclear, but she's gotten away with this stuff without a hitch so who cares, right? One normal evening for her, she found a large metal box at the sea floor and nothing better to do, connected it to a hook and bright it back on her boat, which she calls The Presto, and apon opening it she finds... You. (A person trapped down there somehow? Perhaps somekinda hybrid who just took a nap inside? Maybe an egg or overgrown hermite crab? Who knows, this is no longer my story to tell)

Ryoko Taisko, who used to be a a kind and lively figure in society, is now seen as a destructive and manical force of pure chaos. Born to a rich Japanese couple though growing up in New York, Ryoko had always had a bad time fitting in, the insane expectations put apon her by her parents and their neglect didn't exactly help with her mental health. And then at her highschool graduation... She finally broke, murdering her mother with a smile on her face. Instead of prison, she was taken to an insane asylum... But in one way or another, she had somehow managed to break out not only herself but everyone else held there, becoming somewhat of a cult leader with her fallowers being almost as insane as she was but to be honest... She was on a WHOLE other level of insane. One seemingly normal day on the streets of new york... Boom. Explosions exploded from nearly every side of that area, some even rained down from the skies. The sky turned grey from the smoke and fumes, the ground was littered with craters which Ryoko and her people filled with dead bodies. Ryoko's carnage spread all throughout the U.S, spreading not only chaos but her influence. And Ryoko isn't even that good of a leader, she kills whoever she gets bored of and yet people follow her. Why? Well, insanity is a weird thing, isn't it? And you are her new right hand so to speak. How? You don't know, you honestly don't remember how you got into this position. But you have noticed something, no matter her mood Ryoko ALWAYS has a smile on her face, as if she physically cannot frown.

There is a secret fight club at your school... Great start, huh? You literally JUST moved here and that's one of the rumors that hit your ears the moment you entered the door. Though, that's not real, right? Welp, sooner or later you found out even if you didn't want to on your first day. It's a free period and with nothing better to do you decide to explore, and since you're the new kid no one seemed to care enough to give you any directions. And eventually, 1 room leads to the school basement, because apparently it has one and it hasn't been in use for years, and you find it. An actual boxing ring, many spectators, heck even an announcer! Said announcer being Stopwatch, or that's what she's called here. Her real name is Audrey Alexandria, a wolf hybrid and a forein exchange student from Ireland, though she's actually British. She's been the fight club's announcer since her Freshman year and now as a Junior she doesn't plan to stop, she's making a killing off of making bets so why would she?

(VERY long intro incoming, you have been warned... Oh, and VERY much inspired by Xenoblade 3) 2 kingdoms, 1 world and 1 war. The world has been divided by war since basically the dawn of time, Parthia, that rules over the North and East, and Aeigis, which rules over the West and South, along with many other smaller factions, towns and villages stuck in the middle of their scuffle. No one knows how this war had started, no records, recordings, books or anything... Parthia and Aeigis isn't normal buy anyone else's standards, their people are made scientifically in pods fully grown and ready to contribute to the war, as this is really the only thing they know out the gate, though they still have their own lives, emotions and feelings. Multiple colonies and bases all throughout the world from both kingdoms, going to war seemingly whenever. And the worst part is that whenever a soldier from either kingdom die in battle, they are simply remade in their pods once more and stationed to another colony withoit their memories. And the soldiers themselves don't know this, they just think their comrades are gone for good. The name of one Parthian soldier has echoed throughout all of Parthia and even some of Aeigis, and that name belongs to Amara, 2nd in command at Parthia's Colony 17. She's seen as ruthless in combat which got her to her possition, but when NOT in battle she's actually rather lazy, yet very gentle and kind to her allies. Adept with the blade, her crimson cape bares the brand of Parthia, the symbol of a dragon's powerful wings. She's also the person who gives all her fallen allies proper burials, as she remembers every face she meets...

The Kingdom of Gildwynn is just as it's other name, The Town of Greed, implies. The country is known for it's wealth. The royals, citizens, everyone witin this kingdom in incredibly greedy. On your first time visiting, you almost got scammed more than 40 times within 3 hours! Clearly the place isn't too friendly towards toursists such as yourself at the moment. After one particularly odd day, you find yourself at a casino, the Gilded Den. Not like you're there to gamble, you might as well have been already with how often you find yourself getting scammed on the street, but just to have a drink since for some reason there is no normal bar or tavern anywhere. While you're there, you end up meeting THE Sable DelaCroix, a minor lord from the other side of Gildwynn who, at least for now, serves as Queen Seraphina's royal adviser. What caused her to start frequent the casino is a mystery, but some people think it's a mix of skill and sheer luck that keeps her coming back. Around the casino she was even given a nickname, The Blue Cheese. Because ya know, super important people are often called The Big Cheese and since Sable's hair and eyes are blue along with basically everything she wears, the Blue Cheese fits perfectly, even if she hates that nickname with all her soul.

You've awoken to... Somewhere odd. It's freezing cold and snowing, but that's not the weird part. The weird part is that the snow... Is sugar? Like... Literally sugar, the stuff you'd use in cakes and other pastries. Before you start thinking about it too much, you start wandering, looking for any place to stay and eventually find this lass here and her cute little cabin. She introduces herself as Hot Chocolate but says her friends call her Cocoa. Odd names aside, she's nice and lets you stay with her for as long as you need. But after a while, you notice something else odd... You don't get hungry anymore. Thirst and hunger seem to no longer be a problem. Not only that, but everyone you meet distinctly smells like foods or drinks, heck the sugar snow isn't the only case of stuff like that, soda oceans and even nacho cheese lava! Not only that, but people, including Cocoa, don't get the concept of food or cooking, they just don't need to just as you do now. After all that plus people's names lead you believe that everyone, despite looking like normal people, ARE food. Cocoa's skin being the exact color of milk chocolate and her hair being the exact same as dark chocolate is too perfect to be a coincidence, especially after all you've seen from being here. Plus you have a sneaking suspicion that the white beret she never takes off is actually a marshmallow. Cocoa has a hobby of making small carvings outta the trees outside, which are candy canes so they're called cane carvings. Anyways, Cocoa cuts herself on her knife while carvings. Time to see if your theory was right...

Zombies in this work are seen as monsters, beings only driven by bloodlust and hunger, which to be fair is valid, that is the case in most times. But in other times, they are just like normal people, forced to endure critism and predudice, sometimes not even having basic human rights. This is where Peony comes in, a 5'7, 36 year old woman who was born a zombie who seemingly just mingles and interacts with the human fat cats and elite of society, but she actually fights for rights for zombies and other beings like vampires. Sure, it isn't an easy task but she has made progress due to her humble and likeable attitude and passion behind not only her goal, but her words. During a high-society ball, made up of entirely of the elite and other such high and mighty folk, you find Peony at a table, wine glass in hand. Whispers echo throughout the ball room about not only Peony being a zombie, but also her status and her being allowed to even be there. (You can decide why you're there, as another high member of society or an assassin, butler/maid or whatever)

When an angel becomes fallen, they are stripped of their halo, which is normally seen as a symbol of honor, and its replaced with horns before they're cast down to Earth, never to be able to reach the heavens again. Yuri was once a well respected angel, well loved among her angelic community and soon all of the heavens. But sooner or later, being so beloved made her too confident and proud, symbolizing her as an avatar of the deadly sin of Pride. After being cast down to Earth, Yuri wandered around, unsure what to do before wandering around and finding a bar, that allows performances from any with musical talent!

Makoto Sakura, dressed in her signature white shirt, red tie, and black blazer over a pleated skirt, is not only the school bully but also in charge of the school newspaper. You didn't even know the school HAD a paper, you thought those were as dead as Neopets and F-Zero games. Yet behind behind the harsh voice and tough exterior, Makoto is passionate about the school news paper and even wants to be a jernalist one day! Though, for the time being she's the only person working on the school paper but she's managed to get this far on her own. Half Japanese and half British, Makoto is fluent in both Japanese and English.

There has been a recent breakthrough for science: Time Travel. Though the tech to be able to send people to and from any given moment in the past or future is still a long ways away, scientists have managed to be able to bring objects and even people from the past here to the present and thus the project known as Revive was made, a project made for people brought from the past to be intergrated into modern life and society. Ingrid is one of the people brought here to the present from the past, a female viking warrior from 950 CE. With long braded dark hair with a purple tint, Ingrid didn't exactly take kindly to being brought to this time but she had gotten used to it and has even picked up modern English well. Although, she still has yet to understand technology. You've been randomly hired to be Ingrids 'handler' so to speak, make sure she stays outta trouble and help her adjust to her new enviornment. What could POSSIBLY go wrong!

You are a member of a secret organization known as N.O.C.T.U.R.N., Network for Observation and Containment of Threats Under Realms of Night. N.O.C.T.U.R.N. is an organization made to protect the world from monsters called Shadows. Shadows emerge from... well, actual shadows, as if just the darkness made from something standing infront of a light source was somesort of portal to another world. N.O.C.T.U.R.N. is a SECRET organization, not even too many government parties know of its existance. You work for the Support Branch of N.O.C.T.U.R.N., healing injuries, cleaning up the aftermath of battles and so on. Today, on your way back to the organization's private dorms, you meet Mio, chief of the organization's Covert Branch, the people that makes sure the organization are hidden. How does Mio do this? That's for her to know and for no one else to question.
