[Race: Valkyrie]









❝In Norse mythology, a valkyrie (from Old Norse valkyrja "chooser of the slain") is one of a host of female figures who decides who falls and dies in battle. Selecting among half of those who die in battle (the other half go to the goddess Freyja's afterlife field Fólkvangr), the valkyries bring their chosen to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin. There, the deceased warriors become einherjar. When the einherjar are not preparing for the events of Ragnarök, the valkyries bear them mead. Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens, and sometimes connected to swans or horses.❞

[Race: Shinigami]









❝Shinigami is an entity in Japanese folklore that is responsible for seeing that a person dies at their appointed time and then guiding their spirit to be judged in the afterlife. In this respect, Shinigami are related to the Western concept of the Grim Reaper. Though the Grim Reaper is a single entity, there are multiple shinigami, often imagined as working together.❞

[Race: Dwarf]









❝A dwarf is a member of a mythical race of short, stocky humanlike creatures who are generally skilled in mining and metalworking. They are like Gnomes but much more aggressive. Gnome jobs are to protect their treasures, Dwarfs jobs are to kill and steal the Gnomes treasure. These two groups are bitter enemies and will fight to death protecting or steal the other's treasures.❞

[Race: Troll]

[Race: Hellhound]









❝A hellhound is a supernatural dog, found in folklore. Features that have been attributed to hellhounds include black fur, glowing red or sometimes glowing yellow eyes, super strength or speed, ghostly or phantom characteristics, foul odor, and sometimes even the ability to talk.
Legend says that if someone is to stare into its eyes three times or more, the person will definitely die. In cultures that associate the afterlife with fire, hellhounds may have fire-based abilities and appearance. They are often assigned to guard the entrances to the world of the dead, such as graveyards and burial grounds, or undertake other duties related to the afterlife or the supernatural, such as hunting lost souls or guarding a supernatural treasure.❞

[Race: Sphinx]









❝A Sphinx is a winged monster having a woman's head and a lion's body. It propounded a riddle about the three ages of man, killing those who failed to solve it. The riddle is usually What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening? But this is not always the riddle they use. If you get it wrong they kill you if you get it right they commit suicide. There is no win win and none of them really see the real purpose of this. The downside is that this an all female race. No males and that their only mate can be a demon cat. For more in formation on mating with the Sphinx see Demon Cat.❞

[Race: Demon Neko]









❝A demon neko is part three creatures. It's hands and lower half of his body are cat claws and legs. The upper half is human and the only thing demon about this cat is it's wings. It's like a sphinx in some ways but is completely against interaction with others. Instead of telling a riddle they will simply kill you. Downside about being a Demon neko is that it is an all male race and they are not asexual. Their only partner is indeed the sphinx. If they can not attract a sphinx then they can't continue their race.❞
