Races

Criteria

The sentient races are considered sentient because of their ability to communicate with each other, conception of theory of mind, and the attainment of "common knowledge" over the course of puberty. All magic is sentient to some extent, but most animals aren't considered "people" because of the aforementioned rules. 'Sapient' is the more correct term, here, but you get the idea.

"People" or "person" are the general terms to refer to all races or someone you don't know the race of.

Robots are not considered a sentient race in most universes.

Note: Lifespans

Lifespans are listed like this: 400-500y. What that means is that the earliest recorded natural death (magic exiting one's body) of that race was 400 years old, but dying that young is seen as extremely uncommon and only for unhealthy individuals. Most individuals would naturally die around 480 to 500.

Hybrids

The Pony Races and Dragon Races are capable of interbreeding within their subgroups and with each other. Due to this, they are also the most populous and successful branches of sentients that exist within universes. Most other hybrids, with a scant few exceptions, can be born but are infertile. The major exception are Kirins, whose conceptions always result in a miscarriage.

Behemoths and pygmy behemoths cannot produce children, even with members of their own species.
