High Beasts (Beast kind) : A highly intelligent kind that populates and rules this world, composed themselves of a grand variety of species and sub-species with different shapes and sizes, as well as boasting incredible powers granted to them by the earth.
Beastling (Sub Beast) : Species with varying levels of intelligence and devoid of conscience that roam this world, who are the direct ancestors of the High Beasts and thus share similar physical features to them, barring the more feral appearance, and their strife for survival. Over time, many Beastlings continue to evolve through generations, gaining more and more characteristics and abilites that bring them closer to reaching the "Peak", all the while brand new species seemingly appear out of pure coincidence. Beastlings are often used as a source of food and the growing of crops for the High Beasts, as they are distinct predators to one another. Pet Beastlings are a very very rare occurance.
Apex Beastling : A Beastling species who is said to be the closest to reaching the "Peak" due to their intelligence, ability to live in communities and great strength. They are a great foe to the High Beasts, and while they are the closest to them in the Tree of generations, their primal instincts still have a hold on them. They constitute a great threat to the HB, enough that branches of special task forces were created to fight against them, such as the Beast Rangers and The Travelers Guidance.
Monster : A Beastling who abandoned their goal towards the "Peak" is simply dubbed a Monster. They only seek destruction and food, willing to get in the way of everything regardless of power and size. Those kinds are doomed to never reach the "Peak".
NewKind : The transition from Apex Beastling to High Beast is called "NewKind". When communities of NewKind start emerging, they are submitted to analysis by the Collective Beast Government Associates who get to decide how they get merged with society. This process is rather long and taboo among the HB society, as some NewKind still retain some mental mark of their primal instincts. After a general consensus from the CBGA and a successful merging with the rest of the population, they are accepted into society as a new species of HB, although it'll take a couple of generations of inbreeding between them and already established HBs to truly be accepted.
Auspicious Beasts : One of the most important folkloric Legend from the Land of Taifu, it tells the story of 4 benevolent High Beasts who ascended to godhood to protect a young Taifu from invasion, and then sent on their legacy for generations of the future to inherit, for the all eternal prosperity of their Motherland. To this day, a set of 4 individuals are chosen by the heavens to inherit these legendary powers and godlike forms to protect Taifu until they draw their last breath, in which case the cycle continues.
The Symbol Bearers' Creed : A set of rules dictated by the original Auspicious Beasts themselves that bear the Key to opening the way towards inheriting their mighty powers. Each cardinal regions of Taifu holds their own culture and ceremonies to appease the gods and name a new Symbol Bearer, through various challenges and tasks that match their respective protector. While they are vastly different from one another, there are exclusive rules shared between them : Firstly, only those that seek to protect Taifu are eligible, for any ulterior motive will be sensed by the heavens.
Secondly, if a HB is of a species that has already inherited one of the 4 powers in the past, they cannot inherit it again.
Finally, if one of the current four were to draw their last breath, the other 3 shall follow them shortly, for it is their destiny to fall and rise together as one.
