Basic rundown

The story takes place in the fictional city of Evergreen, Nebraska, USA. Evergreen is known for having extreme temperatures; having extreme heat in the summer and having extremely cold temperatures during the winter. The story revolves around 8 characters as they navigate life, with one of them being destined to end the world.

In this universe, there are 4 species: Doyleys, Vampires, Kalamaris, and Humans. These spawned based on what I thought evolution was ging to be when I was a kid.

Doyleys

Doyleys are considered the first humanoid species to exist and all life is derived from them. Unlike the other species, Doyleys have 3-5 eyes with 1-2 sets of arms. Though rare, there have been reports of those who are born with 6 eyes and 3 sets of arms like their ancestors. The average height of a Doyley is 6ft (182 cm) but they can be as tall as 7'8 (237 cm). Due to their height and amount of arms, findng clothes is pretty difficult and many make their own clothes to save on money.

The dietary needs of a Doyley is a bit complex. They eat double of what the other species eat and like Vampires, the consume foods that are rich in iron. They also enjoy eating raw meat opposed to drinking blood. A delicacy among Doyleys is marinated pig hearts which is described as being sweet and jammy.

For a very long time, it was believed that Doyleys con only have one child due to their anatomical structure. Women tend to have vaginal teeth but as time went on, the amount of teeth has lessened which has made birthing easier. For men, they typically have 2 penises. Not much has changed for them.

Vampires

Vampires are humanoids that evolved separately through living underground and adapting to these changes. Though they physicaly look like Humans, they are closely related to Doyleys and it is speculated that they were the first to evolve separately. Like Doyleys, they consume blood but they need it far more. Since Vampires have extremely low levels of iron, their diet consists of food that is rich in iron.

Most Vampires are born allergic to the sun but it's common to find those who aren't. Because of this, Vampires layer clothing to cover their skin since sunscreen isn't enough for some. This has led to the myth that Vampires will shrivel up and die which is obviously not true. Another myth is that Vampires are born via biting and being transformed. This stems from Vampires having birthmarks in the form of 2 moles that can appear anywhere on the body and are most common on the neck. The other proponent to this myth is their fangs. Some have overgrown fangs and it's normal for one to get it trimmed. Continuously growing fangs is considered a recessive gene and as stated above the only treatment is to get it trimmed after a period of time.

Due to the similarities between Vampires and Doyleys, they have a special type of friendship known as 'Life Friends'. Vampires can live to be 250 years old while Doyleys can live to be around 200 years old.

Kalamaris

Kalamaris are humanoids that live in or around large bodies of water. They are the shortest of the species with the average height being 4 '9 (149 cm) but there have been reports of some reaching 5' 5 (167.4 cm). Kalamaris are known for their fish-like appearance with moldable fins that act as hair. In fact, Kalamaris are known for their intricate styling of said fins with many stretching the fins to be floor length. Many also enjoy showing off earrings and some tend to get many as well.

Unlike other species, there isn't much that differentiate men and women physically. Larger ears, lack of freckles, scale distribution, and webbed hands are some of the physical traits one can have. In this case larger ears is considered a dominant trait in Kalamaris and a majority seen have this. Depending on location or heritage, smaller ears are present. The same applies to webbed hands and scale distribution.

Kalamaris typically eat a diet of fish and vegetables but this is dependent on location. Many enjoy eating fish raw opposed to it, very similar to Doyleys eating raw meat. Though this is what they usually eat, they do integrate other foods into their diet as well.

Extras

Here's a compiled list of things that should be mentioned but there isn't anywhere good to explain them:

Raymond

Raymond Magladonia is a Doyley and is the boyfriend of Alex. The scars on his face and left side of his body are from an acid attack that took pkace roughly 17 years before. Unlike Alex, he was born with 4 sets of arms, 4 eyes, and is over the average height of a Doyley.

Raymond is a bit reclusive and doesn't talk very much but he does enjoy the company of people. He also enjoys doing art and spends his freetime painting. Unlike the other characters, he is able to manipulate shadows but doesn't know the full potential of his abilites despite knowing he is a reincarnation of the goddess Timpani.

Fun Facts

Alex

Alex Webber is a Doyley. His name is often incorrectly stated to be Alexander...it's just Alex. His physical attributes differ greatly from Raymond since he mainly has recessive traits associated with Doyleys. He's 5'5(167.4 cm) which is below average height, he has 3 eyes with him being partially blind in his third, and only has 1 set of arms. The mark on his right eye is a birthmark thats been passed down in his family.

Alex is a bit timid and comes off as shy at times since he tends to avoid confrontation. Despite this, he speaks his mind, even though he finds it a bit difficult. Like the others, he primarily speaks in AAVE.

Fun Facts

Camilla

Camilla Nguyen is a human and is the girlfriend of Pumpkin. Camilla enjoys making clothes, mostly for herself and hopes that it can be a main career for her in the future.

Camilla is very confident both in herself and her looks. No one can tell her otherwise. Aside from this, she is very extroverted and likes hosting events at her and Pumpkin's shared apartment. Because of her confidence, she sometimes won't admit when she is wrong.

Fun Facts

Pumpkin

Jayce (Pumpkin) Kern is a vampire and is the best friend of Raymond. He is missing 3 teeth due to getting in a fight as a child and as a result, he speaks with a lisp. Pumpkin is known for having a brash personality but he is well meaning. Along with being Raymond's life friend, he's also dating Camilla.

Since he has an overgrown fang, it's harder for him to freely drink blood. Because of this, he mainly relies on blood bags. Like some of the characters listed here, he also speaks AAVE and has a slight southern accent. :3

fun facts

Donna

Donna Stuarts-Hume is the older twin of Monique. Just like her sister, she is a human. It's clear based off her appearance that she tried her best to make it easier to identify her. Donna is known for being a bit hard-headed and can be incredibly blunt at times. Despite her appearance, she enjoys baking and likes cooking for her friends whenever possible.

Like many characters here, she speaks in AAVE.

Fun Facts

Monique

Monique Stuarts-Hume is the younger twin of Donna. Just like her sister, she is a human. Monique typically wears long wigs and ponytails instead of her natural hair. She also does hair professionally but keeps her hair short for convenience.

She's very confident in herself and her abilities. She refuses to let people get her down regardless of what could be in her way. Like a lot of the characters here, she predominantly in AAVE.

Fun Facts

Francis

Francis Olsen is a Black Kalamari and is the youngest out of everyone in the group. Evident in the picture of her, she loves Yamanba gyaru and often wears makeup of this style. She also enjiys wearing lolita fashion and combines the 2 subcultures.

She can be a bit immature at times but knows when to be serious. She likes to use this to her advantage to mess with people in a joking manner.

Fun Facts

Lily

Lily Altoid is a human who is infected by the floral disease, giving her foliage throughout her body. Though not shown in the picture, she walks with a decorated cane. Lily is very outgoing and likes going out whenever she can.

She has an interest in older fashion but instead of paying too much for specific pieces, she pays Camilla to make them. Even though she likes being outside, she can't be out during high tempuratures since it can lead her to getting extremely sick.

Fun Facts

Timpani

Timpani is a deceased Doyley, who whose current incarnation is Raymond. Though she has been dead for close to 100 years, she still affects reality. Her body has not decomposed and is on display in a museum as a specticle. It's currently unknown when she was born or when she died but its speculated that she was murdered.

She typically isn't seen but rather felt. Currently, only Raymond is able to see and communicate with her. It should be noted that she isn't visable at all times and needs to be "summoned" for her to respond. Sometimes she manifests through Raymond but that's a rare occurance.

Before death, she was around 8 ft tall (243.8 cm).
