Theumet-Ra (RPG)

The following is information about the world's rules. It uses real-world physics, completely realistic, nothing is overly exaggerated, except for certain things that need to be exaggerated because it's a fantasy world. For example, not all races possess inherent magic; only certain races do, as explained. This means that if other races want to use magic, it must be a unique type of magic. For example, the Achaali get theirs from other sources, and the dwarves get theirs from runes inscribed on their weapons. Why don't the angels or demons have inherent magic? Because they are mostly considered energy beings, not truly physical. To exist, they must inhabit or possess something else. Since no race possesses inherent magic, except for a few, I've added a rule: a magical ore I call "Wok Agni." This ore allows people to use it to cast spells; it's usually found in wands or similar items. It requires a medium to use, and this ore's energy can deplete but is rechargeable. Charging it is simple: pure willpower, resolve. The rest are typical fantasy monsters, details omitted as they're not crucial to the story, which focuses more on conflict.

❄️ Category 9: Arctic Tribes – Large tribes living a simple life.

1. Frostborne Giants: As large as mammoths, inhabit snowy regions, possess no magic, and respect nature.

🌊 Chapter 8: The Sea Peoples – One Group, Many Branches

The overall tribal name is Seayan.

General characteristics: 2 arms, 2 legs (except mermaids), resemble sea creatures, do not use magic, evolved from the sea.

3. Phoenix: Reborn from fire, immortal.

   (These already possess inherent magic and are in accordance with legend.)

👻 Chapter 6: Spirits / Ghosts / Demons – 3 Tribes

Order, Tribe Name, Distinctive Characteristics

1. Lich: A spirit born from resentment, wielding magical ore, and becoming a magic user (just another type of undead, but they are created when magical ore is stuck to their bodies, similar to zombies, but these have extremely high resentment, which is what differentiates them).
2. Skeletal remains imbued with magical ore, lacking consciousness (similar to the previous case, these also possess magical ore but lack intelligence and memory, merely moving due to the power of the magical ore).
   3 Spirits: Powers of nature, granting power to the elves (who are also the race that allowed the Achaeli to find ways to use magic without needing magical ore, and are considered one of the races with inherent magical power).

🧛 Chapter 5: Special Humans / Undead – 2 Races

Order, Tribe Name, Distinctive Characteristics

1. Vampires: Sun-sensitive, predators, lifespan similar to elves (This race, though called vampires, is not created by magic or are undead. They simply share a similar appearance to vampires in legend. They are a long-lived race with characteristics similar to the Acharali, but not because of any relation; they are a separate branch of the same lineage, diverging long ago. Their civilization is characterized by hunting prey and drinking their blood as a celebration of victory and power. Their governance is not significantly different from the vampire legends.)
   2 Zombies (2 Lines)

Magic Lineage: Conscious, revived from the dead (These magic-born zombies often have magic stones in their bodies, and upon death, they are revived, remaining conscious but slowly decaying. Once completely decayed, they are considered truly dead and cannot be killed by any means until their flesh is completely decomposed or burned.)

Science-fiction: Slow-moving, contagious, mindless. (Classic zombies, spreading infection, unable to run, only able to walk mindlessly, biting to spread the infection. The infection spreads depending on the species they bite, but it doesn't spread to animals. Humans and animals of human lineage are immune to the infection. Otherwise, they're just ordinary, mindless zombies, unable to run, and their strength depends on the species they bite. They were once ancient weapons of an ancient civilization, but that civilization collapsed, causing them to be released.)

🧬 Category 4: Special Races/Creatures – 6 Races

Order, Tribe Name, Distinctive Characteristics

1. Insectoids: Hard-shelled insects, controlled by a queen (each insect species has a unique appearance, but they all have two arms and two legs. They are classified as insects and cannot use magic; they rely entirely on physical strength. They do everything for the queen. If insectoids of different species encounter each other, there's a high chance they will attack each other. They are the strongest physically but the weakest in magic, as they cannot use it at all. They attack all other species, considering them food unless they are of the same species.)
   2 Aliens, 200 Years Ahead: Various Forms (These aliens possess technology 200 years ahead of real-world technology. Some are benevolent, some malevolent, and their appearances are varied due to a lack of clearly defined species names. Elves call them "वह जो आकाश से आता है," and other races have adopted this name.)
2. Golems: Created through magic, runes, and stone (just regular golems, created from magic and such). Some civilizations use them, but some, if given enough magical power, become intelligent and are considered a race.
3. Cyborgs (Sleeping in Capsules, Awaiting Awakening): These beings sleep in capsules almost constantly until awakened. They originate from a very ancient civilization and are incredibly strong, second only to aliens. They are comparable to the powerful race in terms of physical strength, but lack any weakness to magic. However, they are extremely rare, only found in ancient ruins or artifacts, and are in a state of prolonged hibernation; it's unknown when they will awaken.
   5 ancient magical automatons, ruined; techno-automatons (these also come from an ancient civilization, but from the opposite side; most are ruined and unusable, scattered across the continent, but none move because they're all broken, unless someone repairs them and imbues them with magic. Simply put, they're a combination of magic and science, like AI).
4. Alchemists: These are alchemists who practice alchemy. They don't reproduce (their bodies are unpredictable because they don't originate from any single species; they're a chaotic mix, making them unique. This is because they often experiment on their own bodies with alchemy, transforming into something unknown. They mostly inhabit underground areas, not unlike insects, but their numbers are extremely small).

⛏️ Chapter 3: Dwarves – 3 Tribes

Order, Tribe Name, Distinctive Characteristics

1. A traditional dwarf uses rune forging. He's old-fashioned (a typical dwarf from a fantasy world, clinging to ancient traditions and unchanged habits: he loves drinking dark beer and grilled meat, and uses rune magic, which is magic inscribed into weapons).
   Two progressive dwarves, technologically advanced, dressed in 1920s style (dwarves are similar, but these dwarves have a civilization and technology of the 1920s and are very progressive, able to analyze data, but use rune magic sparingly because many technologies can't quite support rune magic due to their delicate nature).
   The Three Dwarves of the Sky: Airplane, Whiskey, and Techno-Air (These are normal dwarves who love to drink extremely strong alcoholic beverages, not caring much about anything else, as long as it's strong and the snacks are whatever. They are the second race in the world, after dragons, to be able to conquer the skies; no elf has ever been able to do so.)

👤 Category 2: Humans – 6 Races

Order, Tribe Name, Distinctive Characteristics

1. Albinos can see spirits (born with white hair, white skin, and red eyes; otherwise, they are no different from other humans, except they can see spirits).
2. Highly muscular humans, larger and stronger than the Oks (a minority group whose lifestyle is similar to ancient tribes, but they are more intelligent and larger than the Oks. They are large, ape-like humans with clearly visible fangs, but they look more human than animal. Their weapons are developing, transitioning from the Stone Age to the Iron Age).
3. Religious fanatics: Believe in extremes, are divisive (normal people but very religious, when they encounter something they don't understand, they immediately label it as heretical).
4. Full-fledged animal-humans: Resemble animals, difficult to speak (as the name suggests, they have fur like animals, faces like animals in various forms, and claws, but stand on two arms and two legs; their faces are not alike because they come from various types of animals).
5. Human-animal hybrids with animal ears and tails, capable of communication (similar to type 4, but slightly different in that they don't look entirely animal-like. While they have fur and claws, the fur only covers their hands to elbows and feet to knees. They have animal ears and tails, but are otherwise human).
6. Crus (Special) Hormones: Innate magic, rapid regeneration, intelligent (a special, semi-immortal race, but cannot be born naturally; only through alchemical experimentation).

🧝‍♀️ Category 1: Arachali (Elves) – 4 Tribes

The elves in this world don't use inherent magic, but rather the power of "spirit magic" or "animal magic".

Order, Tribe Name, Distinctive Characteristics

1. Arshali (Main) Neutral Elf, uses power through spirits, not inherent magic.
2. Galachali, Dark Elf: Does not love nature, can get along with other races (they just follow the standard principles of life, meaning they live with other races without having problems with the destruction of nature).
3. Vanaachali, the Forest Elf: Fierce, attacks first, asks questions later (these are primarily found in natural areas and will not tolerate anyone attacking nature, regardless of the reason, hence the "shoot first, ask questions later" approach).
4. Naga-Achali: Water Elves, bound to the Naga, and empowered by magical beasts (similar to Gala-Achali but classified as a sacred tribe due to their magical power from the Naga, allowing them to perform water-based healing magic and possess extremely high close-combat skills).

⚖️ Belief systems in the world:

The seven main gods are symbols of power, fear, and questions.
But it's not a path to salvation. They don't choose sides for you—you have to choose for yourself what "faith is for."

Demons aren't the enemy... they're the "easier option."

Just believe, just surrender, just do it, and the power will be yours — until you forget who you are.

💀 Get ready:

Your character may turn into an NPC if you fail in the Hall of Trials.

Killing civilians might give you more power than the main quest.

Some legendary weapons talk to you... and sometimes they won't shut up.

Sacred things in this world don't necessarily mean safe.

🌌 What you can play:

All races, from D&D and beyond:
✔️ Elf, Dwarf, Human, Tiefling, Dragonborn
✔️ Robots, Aliens, Demigods, Half-Demons
✔️ Artifacts, energy spirits, undead ghosts

This world supports mutations, evolution, and interspecies breeding beyond imagination.

Every character can evolve, degenerate, or be reborn — depending on "choices."

🔥 What you'll find:

A god that truly exists... but doesn't love you.

A demon that grants power... but takes your "most important thing" away.

The "Hall of Trials" system: When you die, you don't leave the game, but you have to prove that "you still deserve to come back."

Religious organizations, cults, rebellions, parallel worlds, and the ancient ruins of forgotten gods.

Dimensional travel, playing with time, and "a map written in the blood of players before you."

🕊️ Theumet-Ra Universe 🕯️

A world where God still exists... but never helps anyone.

"When there are many gods, but none of them reach out a hand to help."
So the devil does that job instead.
