Elemental Fae: This is the main branch of the faekind, as almost all thare are born to this race are born as an elemental fae. Much like the name suggests, every single one has an innate nature tied to a certain element. Their souls are assigned this element in the womb and it is not based on what their parents are. It is unknown exactly what makes the choice, but it is usually fairly obvious mid-pregnancy what the child will likely be as the mother will start to sense that element inside of her. The faekind are very skilled at magic, and are the strongest at the element they are in tune with. While they can learn to use other branches, most choose to stay within that one as it is what will provide them the most strength. The stronger their magic is, the more magnificent their wings will become, starting out as nothing more then wasp-like appendages at birth but ending as elaborately designed butterfly or moth like wings the stronger they are. All of them are able to hide their wings at will, and it is their magic that gives them the ability to fly more so then the wings, which are almost aesthetic in nature. Their skin colors range from more natural tones to more exotic ones based on their element (blues and teals for water, greens for nature, etc)

Multi-Aspected: Rarely a fae child will be born that is strong in two or more of the elements. In incredibly rare instances they show control over all of the elements, though will still only ever be fully in control of a few of them based on focusing on them the most. It is usually seen as quite a sign of luck to be born multi-aspected, bringing much honor to their parents and often times going on to becoming very important figures in Faekind society.

Null Fae: There are two ways to become a null fae, being born one which is incredibly rare and seen as almost a curse on the parents, or to lose all of one's magical energy, thus rendering them ineffective as a faekind. Null Fae for all purposes appear to be elves, but weak ones with no magical abilities. These fae can learn to become physical fighters, sometimes even great ones, but only through hard effort. Their life spans are effectively a third of the other faekind, and they are often shunned by the rest of their race because of their ineffectiveness as part of it.

Natural Animal Kind: Humanoid creatures that typically only have ears and tails akin to whatever animal they are based off of. They are always only animals that are 'natural" in nature such as cats, dogs, rabbits, and likewise. Depending on the type of animal they are based off of they are fast, strong, or witty, but typically not very good with magic, if able to use it at all. Many are able to transform into a were-like creature of their animal, although this ability is fairly uncommon and can cause their lifespans to be lessened every time they use it due to the extreme stress it puts on their bodies.

Mystical Animal Kind: Mystical Animal kind are typically all other types of animal-like humanoids that do not fight the above. This is where you will find your kitsunes, full-fledged werecreatures (who are always in that form, not just transformed in and out of it), satyrs (half-human/half-goat), centaurs, and other such creatures. Also, there is a subset of this that are the same as the natural animal kind, but based off mystical creatures such as unicorns or pheonixes. They are extremely rare just like the creatures based off them, and have the added ability of being strong at magic wheras the natural ones are not.

Lizardfolk: Lizardfolk are humanoid creatures with fully reptilian features from their head down. Scales, skin tones in colors typical of any reptile (snakes, lizards, etc), and slit-like eyes are all very common features of those of this race. They can be seen both with or without snake-like lower limbs, although it is more common that they have two humanoid legs. The ones with snake-like limbs are often seen as better physical fighters while those with legs are often times better with magical abilities.

Naga: Naga are humanoid creatures with mostly human or elvish looking features on their upper half while the lower half is that of a snake. They are often quite magically inclined, and can learn and retain information very easily.
