This will take place where there is no blank just those characters and whatever happened after that, this would be a Casual RP, and here is a good briefing on what is it. Humans in this world end up in this video game world, like SAO, but they want to stay, nobody really dies because of the 10 pledges that are placed by god. Breaking one of these you lose, nobody knows what happens when you break the murder pledge. They are also already people there, so humans or other races, the races are below. All borders at the moment are reset back to normal before Blank came here. They are Race Pieces, that symbolize the race itself. Disboard is the world itself.
Players of a formal game must swear by the ten pledges by raising their right hand and saying "Aschente"
The 16 Races of the World
1. Old Deus
The Old Deus (神霊種, オールドデウス)? is the first ranked race of the Exceed. It consists of the old gods, who lost their status after the Great War, where Tet became the One True God. They are beings of great longevity and power. Jibril noted that it would take at least 200 Flügels to challenge a single god, and even then the chance of losing would be high.[1]According to Izuna, during the wartime, only Flügel and Ex-machina had ever succeeded in killing a god.[2] The known Old Deus so far are Artosh (deceased), Creator of Flügels, Okein (鍛神, オーケイン)?, Creator of Dwarfs, and Kainasu (森神, カイナース)?, Creator of Elves, Tet (Past), God of Play.
One of the gods used an arrogant and ornate speech style by stating "Question" before proceeding when conversing with Tet.[3][4] He was described as an imperfect presence with limited powers.[4] The old Deus now resides on the moon after the Great War for reasons unknown.
Historically, the gods were the ones who launched the great war to fight over the title of the One True God, using their creations as weapons, such as the Flügel, to kill other gods. The gods eventually lost their will to continue warring as they died needlessly without enjoying their lives.[5] Tet emerged above the Old Deus as he was the only god who had abstained from the war, and became the One True God.
2. Phantasma
The Phantasma (幻想種, ファンタズマ)? are the second ranked race of the Exceed. Not much has been revealed about them, except that Avant Heim is one of the Phantasma (which resembles a giant floating rock, and has the "right to infringe on others' sunlight and view"
3. Elemental
The Elementals (精霊種, エレメンタル)? are the third ranked race of the Exceed. Every living thing born on Disboard contains traces of Elementals. (Humans that were not born on Disboard, contain no Elementals.) It is most concentrated in the erogenous zones. The body of a Flügel is said to be entirely made up of elementals, and the Elementals are most concentrated in their wings. The network, which elementals form within a body, is termed as an Elemental gallery. It is from this gallery that the races of the Exceed below the Elementals' rank (with the exception of Imanity) can control the flow of elementals to generate their specific abilities according to their race.
4. Dragonia
Dragonia (龍精種, ドラゴニア)? is the fourth ranked of the Exceed. While a dragon appears in the anime's first episode, it appears much later in the light novels.
It took about 50Flugels during the war to take down a Dragonia, which clearly illustrates their power.
The only Known Dragonia is Aranrave (焉龍, アランレイヴ)?(deceased), one of the three kings of Dragonia.
5. Gigant
Gigant (巨人種, ギガント)? are the fifth ranking race of the Exceed, not much is known about them. The picture of them strongly resembles the God Warriors (a.k.a. Giant Warriers) from nausicaa and the valley of the wind.
6. Flugel
The Flügels (天翼種, フリューゲル)? are the sixth ranked race of the Exceed. Their homeland is Avant Heim, a floating city in the sky. The kanji for their name can be read as angels, but note that they are more alike to demons, as they hold powers of mass-destruction and massacred countless beings during the ancient war. The race is governed by the Council of Eighteen Wings consisting of 9 Flugels that rule in an oligarchical fashion. In emergency situations, Azriel, the Representative of the Winged, puts forth the decisions.
Flügels are ancient warriors created by the Old Deus Artosh to fight their wars for them. While their combat abilities are sealed by the Ten Oaths, they still retain immortality as well as high magic ability. Due to their nature, Flügels tends to have violent thoughts and are condescending towards other races below them. After the declaration of the Ten Oaths, the Flügels began collecting knowledge all over Disboard by robbing the other races of their books and as Disboard is a world without printing technology, these robbed books were not easy to replace. When their homeland became stacked with books, the Flügels passed a law to share the books among themselves.
The Elves (森精種, エルフ)? are the seventh ranked race of the Exceed and were created by Kainasu, the Forest God. Their homeland is Elven Gard, the largest nation on Disboard.
Though the elf country is democratic with the largest families within the council of elders, they often have slaves from other races to serve them from within the conquered territories they have claimed or from bets that have been lost, this often results in generational slave families living with their owner families for life such as Chlammy Zell. It is noted that there are currently 2 factions within Elven Gard, the council of elders and the Hero of elves, who was not given much detail other than the Hero of Elves has the support of the Elven people, while the council is trying to gain more power over the people.
The elves have the highest affinity to magic among the Life Form races and are often synonymous with magic. They are the only Life Form race capable of casting multiple spells at once. This advantage has allowed them an edge in games against other Life Form races due to their unmatched usage of magic as a way to cheat and manipulate games. Despite this, certain situations such as the video games of the Werebeasts can nullify their magical advantage and level the playing field.
8. Dwarf
The Dwarf (地精種, ドワーフ)? are a race ranked 8th in the Exceed. They reside in Harden Fell, the second largest nation on Disboard and are a neighboring nation to the elves' Elven Gard. It seems that they are best at making magical machinery from what's shown in volume 6 in the war, advanced dwarven technology.
9. Fairy
The Fairy (妖精種, フェアリー)? are a race ranked 9th of the Exceed. According to Volume 5, they (or at least some of them) are currently imprisoned by the Elves and are being harnessed for their magical abilities.
10. Ex- machina
The Ex-machina (機凱種, エクスマキナ)? appear to be a race of cybernetic life forms that appear in volume 6 of the light novels, not much is currently known about them until the translations appear except that they are a cybernetic race as deduced by their name and the appearance of a cybernetic character in the 6th volume. The only known Ex-machina is Shuvi.
Due to their nature of living in clusters and sharing a linked mind, as well as their AI-like nature, they have superior calculation abilities and communication usually takes no less than 3 seconds. It is said that they are able to replicate any attack launched at them in less than 10 seconds after seeing it. In addition to being able to replicate Azrael's Heavenly Shift near instantly despite their losses, they were even able to reflect an attack from Artosh.
Although they are able to replicate and counteract attacks from opponents with ferocity, they are a defensive race in nature. If not provoked, they have no aggression towards the person or group. Therefore, they could potentially lose if they are beaten by the first move or if an unpredictable method they have not seen before is used before they can fully assess and correct the situation. It's also notable that something such as Artosh's "Divine Strike" was considered unable to be calculated due to its sheer power, so one can speculate that, while able to reproduce a Flugel's power, they can't match that of an Old Deus
11. Demonia
The Demonia (妖魔種, デモニア)? is the 11th race in the Exceed. They have been created by the Demon King, and are created in not so successful attempts to create Phantasma.
12. Dhampire
The Dhampir (吸血種, ダンピール)?, ranked twelve out of sixteen Exceed, live by extracting soul essence from bodily fluids such as blood or sweat. However, due to the implementation of the Ten Pledges, they have to either let their victims to agree to give them his/her soul essence or to play game that involves the victim's soul essence as the winning prize or is incorporated into the game which.
It is revealed in volume 4 that while all body fluids can be used to continue their life, they can only increase their power and growth with the consumption of blood. As such, the Dhampirs can only mature to adulthood by the act of blood consumption through biting his/her victim. However, Dhampirs can still live through consuming other body fluids as stated previously but they would be unable to mature .
Dhampirs have the capability to use magic with their strongest type being cognitive manipulation (ability to manipulate perception of others and themselves). However, the strength of their spells depend on the species from which they gathered soul essence from (preferably blood considering the high concentration of soul essence in it). A higher affinity species' soul essence results in stronger magical abilties. According to volume 4, if a Dhampir acquired Elven blood, her/his powers would make for a very powerful assassin. However, Dhampirs can't acquire soul essence beyond the seventh ranked elves as the quality and concentration of any soul essence above the elves would result in the Dhampirs evaporating.
13. Lunamana
The Lunamana (月詠種, ルナマナ)? are the thirteenth ranked race of the Exceed. As stated in Volume 5 Chapter 4, they reside on the red moon. So far, not much is known about them.
14. Werebeast
The Werebeasts or Warbeasts (獣人種, ワービースト)? are a race of kemonomimis and the fourteenth ranked race of the Exceed who currently live on the islands of the former Eastern Union that is now a self-ruling territory of the Elchea Federation. The race as a whole is represented by Miko while their Race Piece is a pawn. They have enhanced physical capabilities as well as senses, and are able to use 'kekkai' as a sixth sense to sense heart rate and other minute details. There are countless different tribes of Werebeasts, each of which have different physical features but all have animal-like attributes.
The Werebeasts generally have heightened senses and physical abilities above that of many of the races ranked seven or below, otherwise categorized as the Living Beings races. This is done by controlling the Elementals within their bodies to allow them to attain superhuman capabilities along with sensory acuteness in all five senses and being able to detect the presence of magic. While they were considered to have a sixth sense to read minds, it was revealed to be just a combination of their heightened five senses to detect involuntary and voluntary body movements to determine possible intentions (known as cold reading) and changes in heart rate to determine if someone is lying or not, similar to a polygraph.
A select few are capable of enhancing their abilities to beyond their physical capabilities and possibly the laws of physics for a set amount of time in what is known as Blood Devastation. The Blood Devastation form can be identified by the iconic red staining of the eyes, hair, fur, and parts of the skin (generally forming an intricate skin pattern on at least the forehead and under the eyes that are unique to each individual) with the red color being derived from the person's blood breaking from either the breaking of the capillaries or from the uncontrollable flow of their blood. After reverting back to his/her original form, the red coloring of their Blood Devastation form disappears thereby assuming his/her blood returning back to the blood stream.
The Werebeast are currently seen as the most technologically advanced race on Disboard, although there are some vast disparities between the Werebeast technology and that of our own, such as a lack of flight technologies and portable computers. The majority of their people also live in Eastern (Japanese) style housing from the 1700's. The main focus of their technological advancment appears to surround improving agriculture and mining to make use of what land they have to its fullest such as advanced food production facilities (most likely hydroponic based) as well as advanced computing by means of virtual simulation as seen in the game between the protagonists and Izuna.
Despite the remarkable abilities the Werebeasts possess due to their heightened sense and physical abilities, this comes at a cost. The ability to manipulate the control of their body's elementals causes a disorder within the body's flow of elementals. This leaves them with a chronic discomfort that is worse in those with frail bodies and are most often noticeable in children and women in general. The temporary alleviation to it is correcting the flow of elementals either by high level magic or (in the case of Sora and Shiro) a very good message.
As expected, Blood Devastation also has a price to pay for its use. Its use puts an enormous strain on the body such that it could cause muscle tears, bone fractures, nerve damage, and possibly fatal heart damage. As such, Werebeasts with this ability tend to limit its use in short bursts and for dire situations only.
Although Werebeasts have the ability to detect the use of magic, they themselves are incapable of using it. As such, this weakness proves to be one of the reasons behind the defensive stance of the Werebeasts against other nations as their heightened abilities are still no match against magic. Rather, the Werebeasts resolve this through their use of video games where magic is unable to be used in virtual reality thus allowing their heightened physical abilities and experience in virtual gaming (they are the only nation in the world of Disboard that has the capabilities to produce video games) to give them an overwhelming advantage.
The advanced technology of the Werebeasts require a vast amount of resources in order to maintain. As such, depriving the Werebeasts of such resources can lead to severe problems within the nation (i.e. economic recession, technological stagnation, etc). This desperate need for resources is what ultimately caused the downfall of the Eastern Federation and the rise of the Elchean Federation due to the exploitation of the former king of Imanity to retain his memories in exchange to keep challenging them with Imanity's continental land and the resulting challenge from Miko to Sora after losing all of the continental land the Werebeasts had.
Due to their heightened senses and physical prowess, the Werebeasts require a significantly larger amount of food to sustain them. However, the issue of food shortage has not been much of an addressed issue as of yet.
The Seiren or Mermaids (海棲種, セーレーン)? are the fifteenth ranked race of the Exceed. The current representative of the Seirens is their empress Laira who was in a self-induced cold sleep for around 800 years until woken up recently by Sora. Their capital city is Oceando but it is unknown whether this is their only city or if they have settlements expanding into other parts of the ocean.
The Seirens are considered to be stupid by most races; according to Plum and Jibril, Seirens only know how to play and mate and are very carefree, even at the prospect of their race going extinct. Complying to the ranking of the exceed, they don't excel in any particular magic other than Seduction Magic as their bodies are filled with Water Elementals that can attract the Elementals in the bodies of the other races.
Although unable to control magic, Seirens do have the ability to control the water elementals within their bodies. This allows them to generate an attractive force between the water elementals of their bodies with the elementals in other life forms, similar in effect to seduction magic. This control also allows them to enter a cold sleep, in which they are able to sleep for centuries on end.
The Seirens race are believed by the other races to be the most stupid race of the Exceed. However, it is possible it could all be a ploy as Laira's game was revealed to be an elaborate trap that even accounted for Plum's betrayal.
Due to the large amount of water elementals within their bodies, the Seirens can only survive while in water. This has thereby isolated the Seirens from the rest of the races as Seirens can only be found in the ocean where their capitol city, Oceando, is located. As such, diplomacy or even contact with a Seiren would be considered rare which compounds their reproductive crisis when the Ten Pledges were implemented. However, this isolation resulted in the development of a self-sustaining society using marine resources to allow the Seirens to survive without the need for trade with the other races to acquire any remaining necessary resources.
Their race is comprised solely of females with one empress acting as the primary source of children for their race (for political reasons), although all Seiren are capable of reproducing with males from any race. This means that they need to abduct males that are close to the shores or on boats in order for the race to survive to the next generation. The fact that Seirens have long life spans helps diminish the urgency for reproduction. However, due to the implementation of the Ten Pledges, the Seirens would have to gamble in order to obtain males for reproduction, a very unfavorable situation considering each game would require the male to bet his own life and the Seiren most likely betting her life. This might have resulted in the Seirens slowly dying off had it not been for the intervention of the Dhampirs.
Due to their cooperative relationship with the Dhampir, several Seirens are probably infected with the light lethality disease transmitted to them by the bite of a Dhampir. Whether or not the Seirens designate a select few to have their blood sucked or a certain age limit is implemented is uncertain but the young Seirens are most likely devoid of the disease. Luckily, due to Oceando being at the bottom of the ocean where no sunlight can reach, the Seiren population as a whole is mostly unaffected by this disease.
16. Imanity (Human)
Imanity is human, they are the weak, they are the wisest, Imanity lacks the ability to utilize elementals due to their lack of nerves that can connect to the Spirit Circuit. As such, they are unable to sense the presence of magic nor can they utilize the Spirit Circuit to cast spells or enhance their physical capabilities. They have one city. The Very first inhabitants of this world.
Despairing Lucky is only Imanity from Earth, sorry First come first serve

10. Ex- machina
The Ex-machina (機凱種, エクスマキナ)? appear to be a race of cybernetic life forms that appear in volume 6 of the light novels, not much is currently known about them until the translations appear except that they are a cybernetic race as deduced by their name and the appearance of a cybernetic character in the 6th volume. The only known Ex-machina is Shuvi.
Due to their nature of living in clusters and sharing a linked mind, as well as their AI-like nature, they have superior calculation abilities and communication usually takes no less than 3 seconds. It is said that they are able to replicate any attack launched at them in less than 10 seconds after seeing it.

14. Werebeast
The Werebeasts or Warbeasts (獣人種, ワービースト)? are a race of kemonomimis and the fourteenth ranked race of the Exceed who currently live on the islands of the former Eastern Union that is now a self-ruling territory of the Elchea Federation. The race as a whole is represented by Miko while their Race Piece is a pawn. They have enhanced physical capabilities as well as senses, and are able to use 'kekkai' as a sixth sense to sense heart rate and other minute details. There are countless different tribes of Werebeasts, each of which have different physical features but all have animal-like attributes.
The Werebeasts generally have heightened senses and physical abilities above that of many of the races ranked seven or below, otherwise categorized as the Living Beings races. This is done by controlling the Elementals within their bodies to allow them to attain superhuman capabilities along with sensory acuteness in all five senses and being able to detect the presence of magic. While they were considered to have a sixth sense to read minds, it was revealed to be just a combination of their heightened five senses to detect involuntary and voluntary body movements to determine possible intentions (known as cold reading) and changes in heart rate to determine if someone is lying or not, similar to a polygraph.
A select few are capable of enhancing their abilities to beyond their physical capabilities and possibly the laws of physics for a set amount of time in what is known as Blood Devastation.

Due to their heightened senses and physical prowess, the Werebeasts require a significantly larger amount of food to sustain them. However, the issue of food shortage has not been much of an addressed issue as of yet.
15. Seiren
The Seiren or Mermaids (海棲種, セーレーン)? are the fifteenth ranked race of the Exceed. The current representative of the Seirens is their empress Laira who was in a self-induced cold sleep for around 800 years until woken up recently by Sora. Their capital city is Oceando but it is unknown whether this is their only city or if they have settlements expanding into other parts of the ocean.

Although unable to control magic, Seirens do have the ability to control the water elementals within their bodies. This allows them to generate an attractive force between the water elementals of their bodies with the elementals in other life forms, similar in effect to seduction magic. This control also allows them to enter a cold sleep, in which they are able to sleep for centuries on end.
The Seirens race are believed by the other races to be the most stupid race of the Exceed. However, it is possible it could all be a ploy as Laira's game was revealed to be an elaborate trap that even accounted for Plum's betrayal.
Due to the large amount of water elementals within their bodies, the Seirens can only survive while in water. This has thereby isolated the Seirens from the rest of the races as Seirens can only be found in the ocean where their capitol city, Oceando, is located. As such, diplomacy or even contact with a Seiren would be considered rare which compounds their reproductive crisis when the Ten Pledges were implemented. However, this isolation resulted in the development of a self-sustaining society using marine resources to allow the Seirens to survive without the need for trade with the other races to acquire any remaining necessary resources.
Their race is comprised solely of females with one empress acting as the primary source of children for their race (for political reasons), although all Seiren are capable of reproducing with males from any race. This means that they need to abduct males that are close to the shores or on boats in order for the race to survive to the next generation. The fact that Seirens have long life spans helps diminish the urgency for reproduction. However, due to the implementation of the Ten Pledges, the Seirens would have to gamble in order to obtain males for reproduction, a very unfavorable situation considering each game would require the male to bet his own life and the Seiren most likely betting her life. This might have resulted in the Seirens slowly dying off had it not been for the intervention of the Dhampirs.
Due to their cooperative relationship with the Dhampir, several Seirens are probably infected with the light lethality disease transmitted to them by the bite of a Dhampir. Whether or not the Seirens designate a select few to have their blood sucked or a certain age limit is implemented is uncertain but the young Seirens are most likely devoid of the disease. Luckily, due to Oceando being at the bottom of the ocean where no sunlight can reach, the Seiren population as a whole is mostly unaffected by this disease.
16. Imanity (Human)
Imanity is human, they are the weak, they are the wisest, Imanity lacks the ability to utilize elementals due to their lack of nerves that can connect to the Spirit Circuit. As such, they are unable to sense the presence of magic nor can they utilize the Spirit Circuit to cast spells or enhance their physical capabilities. They have one city. The Very first inhabitants of this world.
Despairing Lucky is only Imanity from Earth, sorry First come first serve
