VonMitternacht's Grimoire of Foreign Races & Species

A race of beings enshrouded in shadow and mystery, little is known about their origins, only that they seem to be related to the origins of the Vampire race, and that they stop aging after maturation into adulthood, and won't seem to age a day for countless decades, or longer, afterwards. They tend to be on the slender side, packing ultra-dense muscle into lean frames, and have oddly-hued sclerae, irises and/or pupils (colors varying by individual and/or Bloodline) and pointy ears, and have exhibited the ability to derive sustenance out of solid matter by means of deconstructing matter (wood, metal, stone, flesh, flora, etc) into raw energy, then absorbing it through their skin, or - to fit in more with mankind - through their mouths. Exalted tend to take on the traits of the matter they absorb, if they absorb certain kinds of matter consistently over a period of time. An example would be an Exalted whose skin would be ultra dense after consuming a lot of metal and/or stone, or one gaining the ability to manipulate Plant-life after prolonged consumption of various kinds of flora (trees, various species of plants, etc). Some will 'absorb' members of a race they hope to fit into, in order to gradually take on those physiological traits, and 'infiltrate' the race in question and blend in. As they are sensitive to energy (be it Arcane, Astral, Elemental, what have you), they tend to develop supernatural abilities (such as Fire Manipulation, Astral Projection, etc) when exposed to areas (or beings) that exude high concentrations of a certain kind of energy.

So far, two main families of Exalted live: Clan Soulcry, a clan of barbaric, ruthless, and warmongering Exalted, and House Tepes, an aristocratic family that blends in comfortably with races aligned with the Shadows and/or Darkness, usually shunning the sun and operating from under the concealment of the shadows of the night.

The Xenothrin Dragon is a Dragon who has evolved into the ability to take on three forms: Full Dragon Form, Quasi-Dragon Form (anything between Humanoid and Full Dragon Form), and Human Form (resembling a human). They are known for wielding two elements apiece (Ice and Water, or Fire and Magma, etc), and also being both long-lived, and honor-bound entities who believe strongly in the virtues of Knowledge, Patience and Honor. They practice a Draconic Martial Art (name yet unknown), and live in an Eastern-styled society modeled much after the Eastern civilization of Earth, and generally subscribe to a Code of Conduct not unlike Bushido.

Often confused for Elementals or Demons, 'Chaos Entities' are entities of pure Chaos that manifest in areas densely populated by Humanoids, taking on humanoid shape and form and partial humanoid physiology. They are renowned, in circles that know about them, for their ability to shape events around them, just by showing up; an otherwise orderly and peaceful town may erupt into riots, or spontaneously catch on fire, or be attacked by bandits, simply because a Chaos Entity arrived in the vicinity. At the same time, a town or city or Country that is governed over by a vindictive tyrant, might one day find themselves dancing from amidst a several-acre field of tulips, and living in a Utopian country where everything is peaceful and calm.

Often attributed with a derogatory meaning, 'Chaos' merely means 'Change', and that is generally what one can expect if a Chaos Entity ends up arriving in their neck of the woods, although older, more experienced Chaos Entities can limit the radius of their innate effect upon their surroundings, the eldest and most skilled among them being able to walk among mankind, in human form, virtually undetectable.
