Humans, also called Humanity, are a species of intelligent great apes and the dominant species of Earth. Humans believe they evolved naturally on Earth from a common ancestor shared with chimpanzees, but this is incorrect. Humanity's true origin is the planet Oculi Concavi, located approximately five billion light-years away. Humanity was created by Rex Vitae, one of the two beings of the Rex, when he dripped his blood into the waters of Oculi Concavi. After the destruction of Oculi Concavi by its nearest star, a pulsar that supplied the planet with energy, humanity escaped through advanced wormhole technology and eventually reached Earth. Over time, knowledge of their extraterrestrial origin was lost, and humans came to believe Earth was their native world. Humans are physically fragile organisms with lightweight skeletons, soft bodies, and limited natural durability compared to many other species. Adult humans generally range from 1.5 to 2.3 meters in height and weigh between 40 and 120 kilograms. Despite their physical weakness, humans are highly adaptable, intelligent, and capable of surviving in diverse environments. Early humans from Oculi Concavi were significantly larger than modern humans due to the lower gravity of their homeworld; after settling on Earth, generations of adaptation caused humans to become smaller.

The Rex, also known as the Master Race Rex, are a primordial race of god-like beings consisting of only two known members: Rex Vitae and Rex Mortis. The Rex are ancient entities that represent the fundamental forces of life and death, with Rex Vitae serving as the King of Life and Rex Mortis serving as the King of Death. Rex Vitae, whose name literally means "King of Life" in Latin, is responsible for the creation of Humanity by dripping his blood into the waters of Oculi Concavi, creating the first humans. Rex Mortis represents death, decay, and the end of life, existing as the counterpart to Rex Vitae. The two Rex are not members of a civilization and have no known society, population, or homeworld. Their race consists only of themselves, making them unique among all known beings. The origins, true nature, and limits of the Rex are unknown, but they are considered among the most powerful entities in existence, far beyond the capabilities of ordinary lifeforms.

Vampires are a species descended from Humanity, having split from the human lineage approximately 500,000 years ago. Unlike modern humans, Vampires evolved into a smaller, more secretive, and more aggressive species. They retained ancient traits from Oculi Concavi-era Humanity, including a biological need for blood consumption, sharp fangs, and claw-like nails. Vampires are adapted for hunting and survival through stealth, allowing them to hide among larger human populations. While modern humans became larger, more social, and generally more peaceful, Vampires developed into predators that prey upon humans, often remaining hidden within human societies. Despite their differences, Vampires and humans share a common origin and are closely related species, both descending from the original inhabitants of Oculi Concavi. Vampires and Humans are physically similar due to their shared ancestry, but Vampires have evolved traits that appeal to human perception. These adaptations make them appear more attractive and approachable to humans, allowing them to blend into human societies more effectively. Vampires require human blood as a biological necessity. An average vampire needs approximately 5 liters of human blood per week to maintain their health, roughly equivalent to the total blood volume of an adult human. This requirement does not mean every feeding results in a human death, as vampires can consume smaller amounts from multiple sources. Their ability to hide among human populations depends on controlling their feeding habits and avoiding excessive exposure. Vampires require human blood to survive, creating a natural dependency on Humanity. While some Vampires have developed ethical methods of feeding, such as consuming donated or willingly provided blood, others choose to hunt and kill humans to satisfy their needs. Vampire behavior varies greatly between individuals and cultures, with some considering humans relatives or equals and others viewing them as prey. Their ability to disguise themselves among humans makes predatory Vampires especially dangerous, as they can exploit their physical similarities and social integration to hunt unnoticed.

The Fae are an ancient species created on Earth by Rex Vitae, possessing a unique biological adaptation known as the Veritas Gland. This specialized organ allows fae society to function around absolute trust and precision, as it regulates their ability to deceive and break agreements. The Veritas Gland is connected to the fae nervous system and monitors their intentions, causing the release of a powerful neurotoxin if they knowingly lie or violate a contract they have willingly accepted. This toxin can cause severe pain, neurological damage, or even death depending on the severity of the betrayal. Originally, this mechanism evolved as a defense and social adaptation, ensuring cooperation within fae groups while also making the species less desirable as prey. If a fae dies, the gland releases concentrated toxins into the body, causing predators that consume them to become violently ill and naturally avoid fae populations.Because of the Veritas Gland, fae developed a civilization built around contracts, promises, and carefully chosen words. To them, language is not merely communication, it is a biological and social force with real consequences. Fae are incapable of knowingly speaking falsehoods, but they can use complex wording, omissions, and technical interpretations to navigate situations. Their unique physiology and culture make them fundamentally different from humans, who rely on social trust rather than a biological enforcement mechanism. Fae look similar to humans, with the only telltale sign of them not being humans being their pointed ears.

Vampire society is divided into three major cultural groups: Traditional Vampires, Ethical Vampires, and Modern Vampires. Traditional Vampires embrace the predatory instincts inherited from ancient Humanity and view humans primarily as a source of sustenance. Many Traditional Vampires believe that hunting and feeding from humans is a natural part of their existence, and some continue to kill humans to satisfy their blood requirements. Ethical Vampires reject unnecessary violence and seek ways to survive without harming humans, using methods such as voluntary feeding, blood donation, or other controlled sources. They believe Vampires and Humans can coexist despite their biological differences. Modern Vampires are Vampires adapted to contemporary society, often viewing themselves as a distinct species rather than predators or monsters. They commonly integrate into human civilization, adopt modern values, and attempt to balance their biological needs with coexistence. These three groups often disagree on Vampire identity, morality, and humanity's place in the world, creating ongoing cultural divisions within Vampire society.

Human culture in 2026 is highly diverse, consisting of thousands of different societies, nations, languages, religions, and traditions. Despite these differences, modern Humanity shares a common global civilization shaped by advanced technology, communication networks, scientific progress, and interconnected economies. Most humans are unaware of their true extraterrestrial origin on Oculi Concavi and believe that Humanity evolved naturally on Earth. Human societies are built around concepts such as family, cooperation, competition, creativity, and the pursuit of knowledge. Although humans have developed complex systems of morality, law, and diplomacy, they still retain ancient instincts inherited from their ancestors, including aggression, territorial behavior, and conflict. These instincts can manifest through violence, war, and other forms of social struggle, but they are balanced by humanity's ability to cooperate on a large scale. Human cultures vary greatly in their beliefs about life, death, spirituality, and the universe, with some unknowingly preserving distorted fragments of Humanity's ancient history through myths and traditions.

Oculi Concavi is the original homeworld of Humanity, a planet located approximately five billion light-years from Earth. The planet is roughly nine times smaller in diameter than Earth and has significantly lower gravity, which allowed ancient humans to grow into massive, hulking beings. Oculi Concavi is a harsh world covered in charred black stone structures that reach thousands of meters into the sky, with vast valleys that remain almost completely dark due to shade. The sky of Oculi Concavi is constantly black like the night due to the almost complete lack of atmosphere. The surface is constantly exposed to radiation from its nearby pulsar, which bathes the planet in a white, flickering glow that is blinding to modern humans. Ancient Humanity lived on Oculi Concavi as large, thick-skinned creatures with violent instincts, including a thirst for the blood of their own kind. As Humanity became more intelligent and advanced, they abandoned Oculi Concavi and fled to Earth through wormhole technology approximately 63 million years ago. After their departure, the pulsar released a devastating radiation beam that destroyed the planet, and around 400,000 years later the pulsar consumed what remained of Oculi Concavi.

Major cities are the largest centers of human civilization in the modern era, serving as hubs for population, culture, technology, politics, and economic activity. Cities such as New York City, London, Tokyo, Paris, Rome, Cairo, Los Angeles, and others contain millions of inhabitants and represent the diversity and complexity of Human society. These urban environments are characterized by dense populations, advanced infrastructure, and constant movement, making them central locations for modern human life. Due to their size and anonymity, major cities also provide ideal environments for Vampires to conceal themselves among Humans, allowing hidden Vampire communities to exist alongside ordinary society. Many major cities contain layers of history, with ancient structures, forgotten locations, and unexplained events that may connect to the hidden history of Humanity. Although these cities appear completely normal to most people in 2026, they exist on a planet with a forgotten extraterrestrial origin and a hidden sister species living among its population.

The wilderness of Earth consists of the planet's vast natural environments, including forests, deserts, mountains, grasslands, tundras, and remote regions far from human civilization. These areas represent some of the least altered parts of the planet and contain diverse ecosystems filled with countless forms of life. While most humans view the wilderness as purely natural environments, these regions may contain hidden traces of Humanity's forgotten history, including ancient discoveries, unexplored locations, and remnants of past events. Remote wilderness areas are also valuable to Vampires, providing secluded places away from human society where they can hide, establish territories, or survive without attracting attention. Despite humanity's technological advancement and global influence, large portions of Earth remain unexplored or difficult to access, preserving places where nature dominates and secrets can remain hidden. The wilderness serves as a contrast to human civilization, representing Earth's original environments and the unknown aspects of the modern world.

Small villages are small, close-knit human settlements that generally contain a limited population and are often located in rural, agricultural, or remote regions far from major cities. Unlike large urban centers, villages are typically characterized by modest buildings, narrow roads, farms, fields, forests, and a slower pace of life, with many residents living in close proximity to one another and maintaining strong connections to their local community. Some villages may have existed for hundreds or even thousands of years, developing around sources of water, fertile land, trade routes, religious sites, or other resources necessary for permanent settlement. Modern villages can vary greatly in appearance and development, with some possessing electricity, modern transportation, schools, shops, and internet access, while others remain relatively isolated from the wider world. Their small populations often allow local traditions, customs, family histories, and regional cultures to remain particularly strong across generations. Because villages are generally less populated and less closely monitored than major cities, they can also contain abandoned buildings, forgotten landmarks, unexplored surroundings, and local mysteries that remain unknown beyond the community. For Vampires, small villages present both advantages and difficulties; their remote locations can provide secluded places to hide, establish territories, or avoid the attention of modern institutions, while their limited populations make unusual disappearances or unfamiliar individuals more noticeable. Nevertheless, some Vampires may live quietly among villagers or reside in isolated homes and surrounding wilderness. To most Humans, small villages are peaceful and ordinary parts of the modern world, representing communities where civilization gradually gives way to farmland, forests, mountains, and other natural environments. Beneath their quiet appearance, however, villages may preserve fragments of Humanity's forgotten history and secrets that have survived for generations.

Vampires have remained hidden from Humanity for approximately 500,000 years, existing as a secret sister species alongside humans without widespread detection. Their physical similarity to humans allows them to blend into human societies, and many Vampires have adapted their behavior to avoid revealing their existence. Human history contains no confirmed evidence of Vampires, as most encounters have been dismissed as myths, legends, unexplained events, or isolated crimes. Different Vampire cultures have different approaches to secrecy, with some actively maintaining concealment while others simply avoid attention. Traditional Vampires may hide to preserve their ability to hunt, Ethical Vampires may hide to protect coexistence with humans, and Modern Vampires may hide because they view secrecy as necessary for survival. The existence of Vampires remains unknown to the general human population in 2026, allowing both species to continue existing on Earth without open conflict.

Humans and Vampires reproduce through biological sexual reproduction, and due to their shared ancestry as sister species descended from the original Humanity of Oculi Concavi, they are genetically compatible and capable of producing viable Human-Vampire hybrids. Hybrid offspring inherit a combination of genetic traits from both parents, causing many general physical characteristics, such as height, body structure, eye color, hair traits, and metabolic efficiency, to vary depending on the specific genes inherited from each parent. However, many Vampire-specific traits are controlled by strongly inherited genetic factors and are therefore usually expressed in hybrids. These traits include the biological requirement for blood consumption, the development of fangs, altered blood-processing abilities, and, in some cases, claw-like nails. While these characteristics are typically present, they are often less developed compared to those of a full Vampire, with hybrids generally having weaker feeding instincts, smaller fangs, and reduced biological dependence on blood. Despite their mixed ancestry, Human-Vampire hybrids usually display behavioral and biological traits closer to Vampires than Humans due to the influence of inherited Vampire adaptations. Hybrids are fertile and can reproduce with Humans, Vampires, and other hybrids. When a Human-Vampire hybrid reproduces, their offspring will inherit the hybrid genetic state rather than reverting entirely to either Human or Vampire ancestry, allowing hybrids to exist as a stable lineage separate from both parent species. The existence of hybrids further demonstrates the close evolutionary relationship between Humans and Vampires.

The Anti-Vampire Resistance Army (AVRA) is an armed group of humans who have found out about the existance of vampires and want to erase them. AVRA employees can be anyone, and AVRA has a giant global network of medical personnel, logistics, warehouses and armed personnel, all funded by an anonymous man at the top, called "Ad" or "Admin." AVRA started as isolated groups of people who had encounters with vampires, and eventually they united into AVRA under Admin. AVRA houses roughly 40 000 members worldwide. AVRA recognizes that telling the whole world that vampires exist would cause people to attack each other in fear, and anarchy to ensue, and therefore they keep quiet, fighting their war alone. AVRA uses a multitude of weapons, including M4 variants, AK variants, FN FALs, MP5 variants, P90s, Benelli shotguns, light machine guns, various pistols and hunting rifles, humvees, helicopters, civilian trucks, and melee weapons. Their gear is usually mixed and matches from different armies, with different camos, helmets, chest configurations and vehicles, though all personnel is fitted with a circular patch of a stylized vampire skull with a spear through it, and "AVRA" in bold letters above it.

The Research Institute of Unusual Flora and Fauna (RIUFF) is a research institute that houses 40 laboratories and 15 000 staff worldwide. They know of AVRA, but the relation between them is barely established, since RIUFF despises AVRA's methods of dealing with vampires. RIUFF captures, studies and euthanizes vampires and fae. They chase knowledge, not death, and try to preserve the environments and freedom of ethical and modern vampires. RIUFF is funded and ran by a board of investors who frequently place short deadlines on staff, causing chronic stress within the institute. They agree with AVRA that revealing the existance of vampires to the general public is a giant safety risk, but differ in that they are talking to a few governments to try and get funding.
