Anthronpini (Humans) - Found on both sides of the Fragma, the Anthropini would be recognizeable as fairly average humans with a fairly average lifespan. They stand taller than the Konotochonros, but shorter than the Efkinitos. Differences between subgroups of anthronpini are marked by skin tone and hair color, to a lesser extent. Anthronpini are easily the most genetically diverse races on both worlds and have too many subgroups to name here. Because of this fact, they are most internally divided race and throughout history have had the most amount of civilizations, but the least amount of enduring ones.
Efkinitos (Elves) - A race found on both sides of the Fragma, the Efkinitos would fit our definition of "Elf" with their lithe, nimble bodies, pointed ears, and fey eyes. They live longer that the Anthropini, but reproduce less. Efkinitos are sharply divided into the following subgroups: Ypsilos (High Elves), Chioni (Snow Elves), Ammos (Sand Elves), Thalassa (Sea Elves), Xylo (Wood Elves), and Mavros (Dark Elves).
Konotochonros (Dwarves) - A race found of both sides of the Fragma. Like the Efkinitos, the Konotochonros fit the definitions of a mythical race: the Dwarves. Stout and burly, the Konotochonros do not live as long as the Anthropini, but reproduce faster. The industrious race is loosely divided up by the regions in which they live: Lofos (Hill Dwarves), Vouno (Mountain Dwarves), Arktikos (Arctic Dwarves), Tefra (Ash Dwarves), Ouranos (Sky Dwarves), and Koralli (Coral Dwarves).
Vrykolakas (Vampires) - On either side of the Fragma, the Vyrkolakai are vampires - there's no two ways about it. They shun sunlight and live off the blood of the living. Their life-spans far exceed even the Efkinitos, but only reproduce sparingly. Vrykolakai divisions most closely remember anthronpini in their decided arbitrarity. Vrykolakai are loyal to their Maker. Physical differences are based upon the original race the Vrykolakas was culled from.
Gigas (Trolls) - Humanoids that exist on both worlds, the Gigas tower over all the other races at over ten feet. They are physically stronger than all the other races and have horns instead of hair. Gigas are familial like the Anthronpini, but to the point of respecting local authority above all else. As such they stay in tightly knit groups in mountainous areas. Gigas features tend to differ depending on what mountainous region they hail from; such features include skin tone (less widely varied that anthronpini), height, skin patterns, and the pattern their horns grow in, which is the greatest indicator of home region.
Agrios (Orcs) - A diminuatice race that can be found on both worlds. They stand taller than the Konotochonros but shorter than the Anthropini. Like the Gigas, the Agrios usually have two horns (any more or less is rare and considered strange) but also have bushy hair. Agrios are the most distinctly divided race, even considering the Efknitos. There exist four natural divisions: Kokkinos (Red Orcs), Ble (Blue Orcs), Nkri (Grey Orcs), and Prasinos (Green Orcs).
Pnevma (Spirits) - These ephemeral beings exist only in Kosmos Magikos. They appear to be partially transparent forms of ambiguous humanoid origin. It is unknown how long they live for, or how they reproduce - even to them. Some have speculated that they are composed of pure magical energy, but no testing aparatus exists to prove this. Since they first appeared, they have been content to passively regard the mortal world - of course, there are always the odd ones who actively live among mortals.
Technitos (Robots) - Artificial life-forms that only exist in Kosmos Michanikos. Nothing about them is flesh - they are all metal, wires, and electricity. While not originally designed as a people, in the years since their creation (as workers) a number of activist groups have championed their recognition as living individuals. While originall manufactured in the image of man, they have since taken control of their manufacturing and now exist in a wide variety of forms.
Efkinitos (Elves) - A race found on both sides of the Fragma, the Efkinitos would fit our definition of "Elf" with their lithe, nimble bodies, pointed ears, and fey eyes.
