I come from a world where there aren't exactly any non-humans, so sorry if this has been asked a million times, but:

How many non-humans are there here? What kinds of non-humans? Is this really common in most peoples' worlds? Do any of you have to like.. hide? What and how do you eat?

[ No, any more specific than that it'll seem questionable. She just needs information though. And maybe to not feel quite so alone sitting in a morgue with not enough bodies in it to make her feel comfortable that she's going to be okay the whole time. ]

Back home, not here. It doesn't seem like there's much need to hide that sort of thing here, if the vampire running for office means anything.

Well, I used to be an angel trainee, but now I'm a fallen angel.

[Showing her tail and wings now.]

But I guess that still don't exactly count for human. In my world, I spent a good amount of time in the Netherworld where demons and other creatures are normal there, so there's no reason to really hide it. It's pretty out in the open.

If it isn't too personal, did you do something to get kicked out or did you literally fall?

[ainoakuma]

It's okay.

Well... Technically yes? But I was doing what I thought was right and.... it was a complicated situation. There was a lot that happened and a corrupt angel that sort of made things complicated. Then again, I guess helping out demons -- regardless of not really wanting any violence in the process -- didn't really help my case though.

I'm human, but in our world we have tall human-like creatures called titans that have overrun our world and are extremely dangerous.

[Which also eat people, so that's a thing.]

They don't really hide because not many of them really have too much intelligence, but there are a few that do. Although, we always lived within really tall walls to protect humanity the best we could.

Titans. Like Mnemosyne, Hyperion, Cronus..? [ She kind of trails off because she really doesn't know all of their names. Vague memories of a meal past did not a genius make. ]

I guess I should've specified sentient non-humans. We still have things like dogs and cats and killer whales. None of which have overrun the world thankfully.

Video;

[inhisdebt]

I'm sorry, I'm not really sure who those are. Titans are... well... They basically exist to eat people. Some people want to think that their reason to exist is to kill us all, but I think it's more to do with the need to eat.

Well... Al Bheds are more of a race rather than not being human, but we used to have to sort of hide a little ourselves before The Calm came. Now we're able to be more open with who we are.

Although we do have other kinds of creatures around. The Ronso don't have a need to hide, but the Guado have sort of been forced into hiding; Although that was mostly due to their own wrong doings and they kind of had it coming to some degree.

[livable]

Why did you have to hide yourselves? What did the Guado do?

Video;

[respect_points]

Al Bheds were sort of looked down upon as lesser beings in a sense for a long time, but we've been able to gain more rights I guess you could say over the past few years and people have come to actually depend on us more than they used to.

The Guado though... Well.. To keep things short and sweet... Before the Calm came when Sin was finally defeated.... Yevon always liked to.... [She has to pause for a moment.] Well actually... No... Yevon still likes to keep secrets.

Well, there was a person in a pretty lofty position named Seymour. He was a Guado, but the way he ran things... He was very corrupt. Naturally, most of the Guado followed his every order without questioning it and because of that during a time of hardships... they did some pretty corrupt things.

Honestly, I would have hoped that Yevon has changed since then, but they still have a knack for hiding secrets, spheres, and weapons for themselves when spheres should be shared with all of Spira....

I've found that there are worlds where gods live, they aren't exactly human themselves and that was an interesting time I had.

[Couldn't speak at all because there was no Mokona.]

But there are probably other worlds out there filled with different people who aren't human. Vampire, angels, demons. I'm sure there are many more and it's interesting. Not sure they keep themselves hidden though.

[livable]

Gods.

[ She repeats it with an air of disbelief. It's not that she didn't believe there might be gods- but the fact that someone had met them was a little discombobulating. ]

It doesn't seem like it so far anyway. Though I guess anyone hiding wouldn't come out and say it just because someone asked a question on the internet.

voice;

[behindthefakesmile]

Yeah... I mean after all there are those who are out there who judge and well some who might act on it. I mean in another world I was on there was someone who was a...What was that name again. Hunter. Sure they were only hunting a specific person, or duo, but it shows that such things exist.

It's kind of sad really. I mean there are those who are open about who they are and that's wonderful, but then there are others who don't or can't for reasons.

In my world, he just had vampires and for the most part vampires weren't known. However vampires and people do coexist, it's just most people don't know about it.

[livable]

Vampires was one of the ones I thought of most in the making of this post. I mean, how do they survive? I can't imagine humans are willing to just donate blood to feed them, even if it is easily replenishable with leafy greens and lots of water.

voice;

[kindprincess]

Where I'm from they have things called Bloom tablets that they take instead of human blood.

There was some fumbling before the video flicked on, showing a girl with light green hair and green eyes that seemed to glow from within. A very organic looking blue sphere was hovering juts barely in frame. It looked like an eye.

Actually, she looked a lot like that Satori Komeiji that was running for election in Fayren...

"Hello Miss! I'm Koishi Komeiji. I'm not human either!" That much was clear. And if te last name meant anything, she was related to Satori. "Where I come from all the non humans live in little pocket worlds away from the normal humans. Because the world doesn't have a place for us anymore."

"Sis and I are satori youkai. Most youkai either feed on immaterial things or are carnivorous or can just eat anything. We can eat anything! We live underground with the other youkai that other youkai don't really like."

[Video]

[livable]

[ That was.. weird. Liv didn't find something being stranger than herself the case very often, but a weird blue glowy eye? That was odd. ]

It seems like there are a lot of non-humans here. This may sound like a weird question because the way you said it I feel like it's expected I know what that is, but if you could fill me in on what a satori youkai is that would be great.

[Video]

[koishi_komeiji]

"Nooo. It's okay. A lot of people don't know what satori youkai are. A youkai is a demon-monster-spirit-thing... there really isn't a good word for it in this language. A 'satori' is an enlightened youkai or a youkai of consciousness. We're mind readers except I got rid of my power so I can't read minds anymore. So you don't have to be scared of me, okay?"

We have gods, demons, aliens, vampires, werewolves and other sorts of mythological creatures on me Earth. To name them all would take for ever. I myself am a Mutant. Some Mutants on my world choose to hide what they are because of persecution and such, but some wear what they are on their sleeve and embrace it.

Video

[livable]

I imagine the persecution is pretty bad. I think if I had something non-human about me I'd be terrified of anyone finding out, particularly given the gung-ho attitude about shooting monsters in the world.

[ That may have been too specific. Oh well, she raises her eyebrows and makes a clear change of subject back to David, hopefully before he can focus on what she said. ]

You don't exactly look like someone with a third arm or an extra head though, so I'm taking it that "mutant" means something different to you than it does to me.

Video

[rulerofme]

It can be. I could tell you some horror stories about the things done to us. Men, women, children. It doesn't matter who we are or what age we are, persecution is always there. Not to say that there aren't regular people that accept us. It's just a mixed bag. And I couldn't blame you for wanting to hide something about yourself if you were non-human. People don't always have the best reactions. But I know me and other people here are very accepting.

[It was a bit too specific, but she seems normal. Doesn't look like she gets a lot of sun, but still seems normal.]

Well, some of us can have a third arm or extra head. Some of us a made of rock or covered in fur. A Mutant's mutation can cause their appearance to change to nearly anything. Though, that's just physical mutations. Some of us are just granted powers. Telepathy, the ability to conjure or control fire, flight, shooting beams from your eyes. The list is endless.

[Loki likes answering this question just to see how people react.]

I'm a god and I know several other gods.

[Obviously, he doesn't need to hide it. Otherwise he wouldn't be talking about it. That or he just doesn't care.]

voice

[livable]

Prove it.

[ Because she really doesn't want to tick off a god, but she also doesn't really want to get tricked into thinking some random Joe Schmo is one either. ]

Kyrie knew many nonhumans back home. She lived with a coven of vampires.

[And that's not even most of the ones she knew.]

Why do you ask?

Video;

[livable]

Just curious. Back home if a vampire openly tried to run for office, I don't think it would've gone well. Vampires don't have to kill their victims and they don't infect them unless they do it on purpose, right?

[ Reason #1 she thinks being a vampire would still be better than what she is. ]
