Pangean Universe Footnotes One

There are three different sects of the creators:
-The Law:  Keeps the laws of the universe (Such as physics) under control.  Also in charge of judging mortal civilization.  Most powerful of the three in order to keep balance.
-The Spirit:  Overseas the distribution of energy and magic across Pangea.  Also in charge of mortal spirits.
-The Earth:  Overseas the matter of the Universe.  Also in charge of keeping the mortals' faith in line.
(*Each sect has angels and immortal dragons to help keep everything in order.  Angels and dragons are practically the same thing in Pangea except for dragons are more corruptible and have more free-will than angels which have to follow codes.  Spirits are also angels of the spirit, hence "Guardian Angels".)


There are 12 god's of the Pangean Universe.  These Gods are children of the earth, but show the forms of the animals of the earth.  They are much more powerful than most Angels and Dragons but less than their creators.  They are immortal and are dubbed "The First Generation".  Here are they:
-Lupinis, God of Unity and Wolves
-Vulis, God of Beauty and Foxes
-Ursis, God of Devotion and Bears
-Humis, God of Goodness and Primates
-Lepis, God of Affection and Rabbits
-Leonis, God of Loyalty and Lions
-Erkreis, God of Honesty and Lizards
-Cervis, God of Peace and Stags
-Tauis, God of Steadfastness and Bulls
-Aeglis, God of Intuition and Eagles
-Kois, God of Knowledge and Owls
-Ravis, God of Faith and Crows
(*Latin names were used for most of the naming process, but for some I made up my own.)

The god's made 12 children each, or the second generation, who were also immortal.
The 12 children made the third generation, who were no longer immortal but lived long lives.  They harbored the first spirits bestowed by the creators (Not in the story I posted). 
(*These generations have humanoid shapes and there are still animals that room around, they just see them as humans see primates.)

Then the Aryians arrived and conquered Pangea after the creators left.  The Aryians are highly advanced immortal species who are made up of an organic metal that feels like flesh to the touch.  They resemble a shiny humanoid without clothes or sex organs.  They mated with the third generation by manufacturing DNA strands to implant in them.  When the forth is born, they had shorter life spans and think more like the Aryians(selfishly).  They were less feral than the third.  As the generations developed, the more and more like the Aryians the races got and also less feral looking.  The sixth generation were 50% like their ancestors and 50% like the Aryians.  Here is a list of the race names which are based off the God's names:
-Lupin
-Vulpans
-Ursin
-Humans
-Lepin
-Leonans
-Erkrein
-Cervin
-Tauin
-Aeglans
-Koans
-Ravin

Now let me clarify the looks of the generations:
Gen1: More Beast than humanoid.  Equally Comfortable on two or four legs.  Can morph their shape.
Gen2: More Beast than humanoid, Mini-versions of the 1st Gen, but without the ability to morph.
Gen3: Equally Bestial and Humanoid.  Can run on four legs, but spends most of time on 2.  Has double jointed legs.  (except for certain races.)
Gen4: More humanoid than Bestial.  Runs on two legs.  Has double jointed legs.
Gen5: More humanoid than Gen4.  Runs on two legs.  Has slight double jointed legs.
Gen6: More humanoid than Gen5.  Runs on two legs.   Without double joints (except for races with hooves)
(*Each race follows after it's patron God in looks and values.)
