[Acid Ace]

Species Name: Demon
Appearance: Demons can look any way they want. Their appearance seems to change with the times as well. Some choose to use mythological motifs, some use animals or objects, etc.
Abilities: Demons posess a low level form of telepathy allowing them to steal fear from the minds of their targets and feed on them. Demons also have magical abilities that vary between individuals. A signature for Demons is that they can usually project black flames. In fact, when Demons use what little shapeshifting powers they have left, they change in a burst of black flame. They are weak to cold iron, silver, orichalcum, or similar magic metals.
Other Information: None

Species Name: Ultra
Appearance: Varies; The most common trait of their appearance is their silver and red bodies, their humanoid shapes, and their bright oval-shaped eyes.
Abilities: Varies; Usually they have the similar abilities of strength and agility, but they can also do similar attacks such as energy projectile and the like.
Other Information: Were once Humans; even now they truly are simply Humans who have been mutated and gifted with new abilities.

Species Name: Reionyx
Appearance: Varies; Usually rather alien in appearance though, somewhat similar to Ultra's in a sense, common trait is their humanoid shape.
Abilities: Varies; Basically similar in concept to the abilities that basic Ultra are capable of. They are capable of things like possession, mind-reading (through physical connection), and even symbiotic attachment--all-in-all it depends on the Reionyx in question.
Other Information: Could be seen as something of the dark / evil parallel to the Ultras. Also, despite their typical Alien nature they are not to be considered as low as a simple "Alien"--they are a far more powerful being, and greatly intelligent in comparison.

Species Name: Dischords
Appearance: Varies, however all possess some method of creating noise (hidden mouths that open, sonic cannons, built in drum, etc)
Abilities: Dischords as a whole exist as creatures of sound, existing in a state that can only be reached by breaching the sound barrier. Normally such creatures are harmless, untill they're exposed to a level of excess noise that allows them to gain strength until they can affect their surroundings.

Usually, these effects are things like disorienting, or even inducing panic through supersonic vibrations, damaging structures, and in the most extreme cases, killing, entirely through sound. In this state, a Dischord is dangerous, and has to be put down, requiring being able to match their hyper-accelerated state.
Other Information: As they exist in a hyper-accelerated state, Dischords are rarely visible as little more than a flicker of movement, followed by sound, if they're not using supersonic attacks. However, the fact they exist as disorganized noise means that organized sound (such as musical keys) can harm them dramatically.

If sufficiently threatened or injured, a Dischord will draw on the ambient sound around them, and use it to temporarily grow to an IMMENSE size, allowing it to USUALLY crush the threat.

As an added note, they got their name due to the fact that their presence causes sound around them to become distorted, most noticable with music, making it discordant.

Species Name: Newtype
Appearance: Look like any other Human, really there's no physical difference in appearance.
Abilities: The only real ability Newtypes possess is an enhanced mental capability--an advanced sensory perception that is somewhat considerable a sixth sense. Said sixth sense normally only reacts in presence of hostility or if say to serve as a warning to something grave. SOME Newtypes possess additional telepathic abilities--making them something similar to a Psychic.
Other Information: Its commonplace for Newtypes to distinguish themselves from normal Humans by referring to normal Humans as "Oldtypes" but there's no other real information.

Species Name: Geist
Appearance: Varies by the individual, can be humanoid or bestial. Usually have something representing how they died.
Abilities: Varies by the individual, but all have the ability to make a contract with a dying human. This contract turns the human into a Bound, giving them superpowers, at the exchange of the Geist living in their body.
Other Information: A Geist is the ghost of a human that has separated itself from the human it once was, giving it a new form and immense power. As the Geist gets older, it gets stronger. The only way to truly destroy a Geist is to destroy their Keystone, something that was important to them in their life. The Keystone is notoriously hard to destroy, as even if the Keystone were a porcelain vase, it would be stronger than the hardest steel on the planet.
Legends speak of a Geist, the ghost of Abel himself, the first man to die, which has transcended being even a Geist and is essentially a god, the First. The First is said to be sleeping, and if he were to awake and form a contract with a human, that human would become a savior or an antichrist, depending on the human. The last person The First made a contract with was Jesus Christ.

Species Name: Bound
Appearance: Varies depending on the individual
Abilities: Varies depending on the Geist, but all can phase between Twilight and Daylight freely and can see and interact with ghosts, as well as having a version of immortality and enhanced stats.
Other Information: Bound are humans who, at the moment of their death, made a contract with a Geist and have returned to the world of the living. They have gained abilities in exchange for this contract.
The determiner of power level in a Bound is how synchronized they are with their Geist. The paragons of the Bound, those with perfect sync to their Geists, are the Geistmen, their ultimate champions. The extreme other end are the Forsaken, those with no synchronization at all. This is usually achieved through multiple successive deaths of the Bound, and is characterized by the Geist and Bound fighting for control of the Bound's body. The only way to kill a Bound is to destroy the Geist first,

Interesting take on life and death there.
