Long long ago, there was a goddess. Her name was Aria, the singularity. When she became aware of her own existence, she began creating large masses of rock in the endless void. But this didn't satisfy her. The loneliness of her existence dragging on for eons. She created a body to inhabit and she chose a rock, creating living creatures out of her own matter. They stood with stature, 10 ft. tall, pure white skin, and long floating, almost weightless white hair. They shed a soft glow and were made to be perfect by Aria. Historians dubbed them Arians, as their creation was supposedly April 4th, which makes them Aries. But over time they started to gain their own personalities. Eventually becoming not the perfect cookie cutter beings they were designed to be. Angered by this, she demanded they stop, but they denied. More and more people worshiped her less every day. Eventually she deemed them sinful, cursing them. She deemed them the seven sins, and each Arian took a new form after their most prominent “Sin”, even though most were only acting quite normally. Those deemed with Wrath, became Dragons. Those deemed with Gluttony became Giants. Those deemed with Greed became Dwarves. Those deemed with Envy became Elves. Those deemed with Sloth became Wolverstrike. Those deemed with Lust became Humans. And those deemed with Pride became the Exceed. While Arian, they theoretically had all powers, but after receiving a more mortal coil of a body, they had a power made for them.

Human = Arcana

Wolverstrike = Innate Physical

Elf = Visual

Dwarf = Magic items

Exceed = Not completely known, historians just call it Excision

Giant = Innate Special

Dragon = Awakening

Aria began to become a more evil variant. She created 7 new creatures known as the prime evils. The prime evils were powerful one off beings. Aria began worshipping herself, deeming herself the title queen. Though the people called her the dictator. One of the Prime evils, who’s name is dubbed Dutros by historians, could make an army of itself, though it's the weakest in power levels deeming the average clone around an 8.4 on Inariel power scaling scale. The 7 races gathered and decided to rise up against Aria. Among the seven races was a man no one truly trusted. The last Arian. One without sin. But he was the strongest among them, so they had no choice but to trust him.

According to research, at this point, the people used raw mana, as they hadn't known how to utilize it, and their bodies were used to it. With their power combined they started to attack the prime evils. Eventually one by one the prime evils fell. Though while fighting the final Prime evil Machu-Hita. A large earth elemental, made of adamantine, the worlds hardest metal. Using its giant adamantine axe it cut Ea, the strongest dragon in half, from head to tail. But rising from the two halves are two new dragons, and supposedly dragonborns were born from the blood but that may be more fiction than fact. Once all the prime evils were defeated, it was time for Aria, the dictator queen. After constant fighting, the battle came to a halt. The races had won, spilling the blood of the queen. It is said from the queen's blood, the many gods and goddesses came to be. Other stories state that upon killing the queen, divine energy flowed out into people, making them gods.

Aftermath

Following this all out battle, the races began to form into groups and build. Over these thousands of years, only a couple things of notice had happened. The last Arian had used his power, creating 9 children. 1 for each ability in this world, and two that were more than that. The wolverstrike split into two distinct races, the beast men and Orcs. Orcs were regarded as hairless behemoths at the time. The resemblance is hard to see in current times but a similarity is their teeth. Another race split up, but not due to evolutionary means. The Exceed. The exceed had civil conflict that resulted in two groups rejecting each other. Their conflict caused them to split into two new races. The angels, and the demons. Their ability had split as well. Demons getting the power of Insignia. And the angels getting Regalia. This split is what started the most gruesome battle in history. The race war.
