Humanity, Abhumanity and Transhumanity

Overall

These races of humanity are all based upon common depictions of creatures like dwarves, elves and giants in most fantasy fiction; but depending on the race's culture or ethnic background their appearances vary wildly. Despite the visual distinction; any race described in this article is considered a human being and are capable of interbreeding viable offspring but the results of hybridization is often results in a reintegration of baseline humans.

Origin of All Humanity

All of humanity is derived from Ecfio’Rhuga, the progenitor of all mankind. It is a hermaphroditic reptilian creature that inherits both traits of a male and female biology. It has a symmetrical body with four arms and legs, topped with two heads. It made a bargain with the Al’Muu-Daar, asking to procure samples of The Old Tar so that it may produce its own species. It paid an exorbitant price to gain sufficient access to an abundance of The Old Tar as a result. It first created a species not to dissimilar from itself, calling this race Homo Semimas. But Homo Ecfio’Rhuga became increasingly disappointed and dissatisfied with this creation, as they did not emulate Homo Ecfio’Rhuga as it expected they would but it still tolerated their existence.
However, unlike one would have expected, there was no such thing as a prosperous civilisation with Homo Semimas race. Instead this race was plagued with constant war and debauchery, with little to no sense of family or culture. This all changed by the foundation of the first building, the Temple of the Sun. As punishment for this treachery; Homo Ecfio’Rhuga cut the entire Homo Semimas race in half. Separating the Homo Semimas race into two sexes, Male and Females. And devolving them into simple apes a punishment. Homo Ecfio’Rhuga then abandoned its creation to an uncertain doom. Who would soon become Homo Sapiens.

True Humanity

In the far future, humanity will largely resemble their ancestors just as we do now. Terms like "Humanity" or "Homo Sapiens" will be used as umbrella terms for the entirety of races descended from them. "Homo Sapiens Primus" are the closest race of humanity which have direct genetic links comparable to modern humanity. They have little to no alterations, mutations, augmentations or cybernetics. Thus they're the most comparable to baseline humanity that would be between 4th millennium BC to the 21st Century.

Abhumanity:

In the times before the Doom of Earth, humanity was at the pinnacle of what was their golden age. Spanning far out into the space of the Milky Way Galaxy. Colonising planets, moons and orbits of countless stars. Genetic engineering and cybernetic augmentation became essential in successful colonisation of other worlds; creating the first races of Abhumans. Abhumans are descendants of humanity who have physically evolved, or devolved, after long periods of isolation in area of various extreme environmental conditions or because of minor mutation. Abhumans were races that although still shared many genetic similarities to Homo Sapiens Primus, were biologically and anatomically distinct from their baseline ancestors.
Abhumans are distinct from Mutants, although both often coalesce and will share some ancestral origins, the difference between them is the stability of their genetic mutation. If the Abhuman is able to breed with one another to produce viable offspring with one another without biological instability, such as dead ended inbreeding or frequent mutation, then it is a true subspecies of humanity.

Homo Sapiens Troglodytarum

Troglodytarum

Homo Sapiens Agminis

Homo Sapiens Agminis (Latin "train", "multitude", "host", "crowd", "flock", "army", "troop", "band"), otherwise called the Bellatorians, are an race of Abhumans who have bred and genetically altered themselves to fit the idealized peek of the human condition. The Homo Sapiens Agminis are people who have been taken from across the galaxy, often from pure stocks of Homo Sapiens Primus, to be trained over the course of their lives to produced the strongest and fittest perfect specimen of Humanity for both sexes. This means that their race's biology has been bottlenecked into a particular form that could be considered Abhuman.

Dracocinis Abhuman Races:

All of humanity on Dracocinis is derived from the Homo Sapiens Primus, an ancient Primordial race that descended from the stars. But after the Doom of Utopia befell Earth and the mass Dereliction of the colonies, This is because they were genetically altered via whatever science could still be utilised by the Homo Sapiens Magnum after The Doom of Earth.
Although there are alternative ethnic groups of each race that carry features based on their traditional racial depictions, these kinds of people are mostly centralized in certain locations around Dracocinis. Homo Sapiens Nothus is used to determine the based standard of what we would recognize as humanity, being less physically distinct but still uncanny in our perception.
Humanity is not like how we recognize it on Dracocinis, as they're considered imitations of how we look in our world. Whilst they still have a uniform image of how humans are meant to look, this doesn't mean it's consistent; their appearance is abstract and can be a little uncanny in its shape. Think like how cartoons always exaggerate how humans characters looked like, then think about if that image was to be real. If a person is described as having an enlarged nose or lips, imagine them in the most extreme proportion; as that can be the most accurate depiction.

Homo Sapiens Nothus

Homo Sapiens Nothus (Latin bastard, illegitimate, counterfeit, or mongrel) are the most commonly depicted race found throughout all of Dracocinis. Otherwise called "Halflings"; often derogatorily called mutts, hobgoblins or orcs. Standing between 162cm (5.3 feet) and 180cm (5.9 feet). They're the most common and "average" human race in Dracocinis, but are no less distinctly different from their ancestors. Initially they were a rare breed of humans that was first recorded in the last third of the Primo Aetate Mundi era; but by the end of A.V.I and the beginning of the Aevum Fabulae et Legendae era, they became numerus enough to make up the largest bulk of humanity's general population.
They were originally born from a union between any of the three initial human races, often from the resulting children of rape victims in wars. Which was seen as a necessary evil at the time, simply because their propagation out numbered most other human armies. An average Nothusians can live for roughly 60 years, a little more than a Pumilus', reaching adulthood when they're 15. But can live for over a hundred years in some unique cases; the oldest living Nothusians in recorded history lived for 145 years.

Homo Sapiens Fodiens

Homo Sapiens Fodiens (Latin Digger) are this world's race of dwarves and TTRPG halflings. Otherwise called otherwise called "Hobbers" or "Hobbits"; often derogatorily called goblins, kobolds or gremlins. Standing between 121cm (4 feet) and 152cm (5 feet). They're a short people with either rough discoloured skin tones or matted fur coats, with either stocky or wiry frames. They're nocturnal and frequently live underground in dark places. Some have wide and large drooping ears, with large lantern like eyes that help them see more clearly in the night than most other humans; whilst others have more shorter and compact ears, with small beady eyes to help them see in caves.
Their faces differ on accounts of their ethnicity, being wide and flat to reptilian or dog-like. Their fifth finger is actually a second apposable thumb, resulting in large clawed hands. Their teeth and claws are as hard as iron, with orange colouration, which makes them keen for digging. They're a short lived race, with an average life of about 50 years old and reaching adulthood at the age of 10. Though their lifespan is comparable to an Nothusians if the right circumstances are met, with the oldest lived Pumilus in recorded history living for 100 years.

Homo Sapiens Mediastinus

Homo Sapiens Mediastinus (Latin Drudge) are this world's race of trolls, often derogatorily called ogres or trolls. They're a disproportionate sexual balanced race, with 1:6 males being outnumbered by females. Males stand between 8.2 to 8.6 feet (2.4 to 2.6 Meters), whilst females stand between 8.8 to 9.3 feet (2.6 to 2.8 Meters). They're a stocky or bulky people with tough almost stone-like or reptilian looking skin, with large heavy set frames that border between being fat and muscular at the same time. Although females are a little less so and are still weaker than their male counterparts though are stronger than most other races.
They have slightly outstretched faces and jawlines with sharp pointed teeth that are continually replaced through out their lives, giving them a significantly higher bite strength than most other human races. They're giants who were used as slaves and siege weapons. Current Homo Sapiens Mediastinus are normally inland settlers and farmers, people who venture into the frontier and work as farmers. They're a longed lived race with a healthy lifespan that can reach almost 200 years old, becoming adults when they reach around 25 years old. But this is only true for the males, as females on average tend to live shorter live which last for about 60 years because of their savage life than their male counterparts.

Homo Sapiens Venustua

Homo Sapiens Venustua (Latin Gracefull) are the closest race this world could consider as "elves", often derogatorily called softies, feathers and dandelions. Standing between 182cm (6 feet) and 210cm (6.8 feet). They're a tall and lanky race, with often fair or brightly coloured skin and six fingered hands. They're quite angular in their initial appearances, with sharply defining attributes depicted all over them. They're often the children or descendants of nobility, as most of their race composes of the wealthy elites or royalty of their respective countries.
They're also the only known racial lineage that's been confirmed to have the closest genetic linked to Homo Sapiens Magnum, ancient humans that all modern human races are descended from. They're the longest lived race but none of them have ever died of old age; the longest lived person of their race lived till he was 360 years old, someone who was basically late middle-aged, as a result they age slower overall reaching adulthood when they reach around 50 years old.

Mutants

Mutants
Some Mutants suffer from a type of genetic disease or curse known as Therianthropy, which is typically described as a metamorphose into other creature or animal by means of forced shapeshifting. Hybridisation that results in instances like Dhampirs, Vrykolakas or Zduhać are considered mutations.

Homo Sapiens Semideus

Homo Sapiens Semideus (Latin "half-divine" or "demigod.") are not a race but are a categorisation of beings who're the result of an Immaculate Conception, this means these are people who're born through the conception of a human and an Elohim. Thus they're considered Demigods.

Homo Sapiens Cambion

Homo Sapiens Cambion are hybrid creatures born of a Convex Entity and a human. They are a nearly identical to each other but are distinguished by whether their non-human parent was a Cogitazon or a Vivolam.

Homo Sapiens Veneficus

Homo Sapiens Veneficus (Latin for sorcerer, wizard, poisoner). Witches are mutants that are the child of a parent exposed to Raw Veneficium whilst during conception. Though mutated from birth, unlike their parents, they do not mutate further beyond what they were born with. They're innately gifted at using magic due to their blood being enriched by Veneficium, as a result of their biology they don't suffer from Veneficium Sickness. They can preform magic much more easily than normal Magicians or Mages and can comprehend a greater amount of Elder Knowledge that most human minds are unable to handle, allowing them to use a stronger and more potent magic than a Mage ever could.
As they age, their brains being to shift and change that allows them to expand their dimensional awareness. Witches are an extremely uncanny race of Abhumans, almost nothing about them can be considered human despite how they look and act. They don't age like other humans do, often varying on how fast they'll grow some may not growing at all; yet all of them will be born with the consciousness of a grown adult of its race. All Witches will be born with visible mutations, granting them powers linked to their magic such as a third eye that lets them see into the future.
They have no need to sleep and do they need to consume food or water. They'll instead enter long periods of hibernation that results in their bodies absorbing the air around them converting it to water, rooting their bodies in the ground like trees or using the sun's rays and turning them into nutrients. If they're injured that part of their body will quickly calcify over 6 hours and be fully healed; if they lose a limb they can regrow that limb in 6 to 8 weeks, otherwise if they enter and early state of hibernation it'll grow within a few days. They cannot die of old age or disease but can still be killed, if they are killed their body will rapidly rot and corrupt the environment around their remains.

Transhumanity

Transhumans are Humans or Abhumans who have artificially enhanced themselves with either mental and/or physical abilities beyond what is biologically possible for a species to attain on an evolutionary standpoint. These augmentations go beyond simple needs of survival, as many of these enhancements start to delve into ethically questionable depths. Many of these Transhuman procedures were used in warfare to create super soldiers; others were used by a class of upper-elite to create genetically gated societies that only benefited them and them alone.
When colonies began to prosper on other planets, genetic and cybernetic alterations became the norm. Eventually, certain methods of DNA alteration and splicing would result in specific characteristics, these began to push the limits of what can be considered "Human" or even "Abhuman". With augmentation methods that were so advanced that it qualified many of them to become "Transhumans". Such was the case with Homo Sapiens Sovranius, the most advanced Transhuman race that existed pre-Doom.
After the Doom of Earth, most of this knowledge was lost by the widest reaches of every galactic civilisation. What little remains is controlled by a few wealthy families who survived the Doom to rule in the aftermath. Now this knowledge is exclusive to those in power, becoming a symbol of status and great religious reverence associated with it.

Homo Sapiens Sovranius

Homo Sapiens Sovranius (Archaic spelling of "Sovereign" + Latin suffix "ius"), also called The First Ancestors, Eldaa (Singular Eldar) or more commonly Empyreans due to the royal family; were a post-human race who were so advanced that many were treated like gods. With genetic alterations that were so complex and vast, that the term god wasn't just a pompous title. These alterations included: extended lifespans, psionic abilities, greater muscle flexibility, increased endurance and speed, endowed assets. But one such alteration become essential for utilising Pre-Doom technology, Theoclavis (Greek Theó(s) "God" + Latin clavis "Key", plural Theoclavem), these were Bio-Keys which were nanomachines that inhabited a person's DNA and could be passed onto their descendants.
The bloodlines of Homo Sapiens Sovranius are highly coveted by powerful and wealthy families across the Empires of Tehom, so much so that their lineages are comparable to Demigods. As such the hybridization between Homo Sapiens Sovranius and any other Abhuman species is deeply frowned upon. This is because the results of these hybridization will suffer a decline of the genetic alterations passed down the Homo Sapiens Sovranius bloodlines, unless a pure strain stock is maintained the genetic alterations will be lost over time. Which is why most members of the Homo Sapiens Sovranius prefer breed with Homo Sapiens Primus, as they're the least altered and can maintain their augmentations.

Homo Sapiens Sovrangenius

Homo Sapiens Sovranius (Archaic spelling of "Sovereign" + Latin gen, "nation", and suffix "ius"), otherwise called Elysians, The Living Ancestors, or Iuva (Singular Iuven

Extinct or Missing Races:

Dracocinis Races:

Homo Sapiens Magnum

Homo Sapiens Magnum (Latin Great) were originally seen as the first decedents of Eliahba; a descendant race of Homo Sapiens Sovranius. They once looked like the ideal beautiful form that all humans envisioned, being the only humans who mirrored looks like ours. They stood between 180cm and 210cm, with males being incredibly muscular and females being staggeringly voluptuous. Unlike humans that inhabit Dracocinis now, their skin colour varied depending on their sex; males had chalk white skin and females had chark black skin. It's unknown why they had such odd skin tones, despite the climate of their civilisations and surviving art work depicting males often being outdoors and females inside.
