* BizarreAlienReproduction: These appear more in terms of options than need it seems, but there are several examples.
** Gods and Demons consider a wide range of things as being normal modes of reproduction. While the most common is the basic sexual reproduction, they have other options including:
*** HomosexualReproduction: With the proper application of power, a woman can induce pregnancy in another woman. Or you could have this with two males resulting in:
*** MisterSeahorse: it doesn't even have to be from two men as seen in Zeus's pregnancy with Athena.
*** Nonsexual Reproduction: while sexual activity with either of those two is common, the Gods and Demons don't need for sex to induce pregnancy. It's just considered culturally preferable.
*** ArtificialHuman: Homonculi are people that are basically created by taking two or more genetic samples and producing a unique clone. Culturally speaking, homonculi in Nirvana go through a level of CloningBlues while in Yomi the Demons sort of don't think it's a big deal.
*** {{Transhuman}} Transformation: They have ways of turning humans into Gods and Demons. Though any God or Demon blood already present is unchanged. IE, a human demi-God tranformed into a Demon becomes a Demon demi-God and a half-Demon human transformed into a God becomes a half-Demon God. They haven't bothered to apply this transformation to any other species yet.
** [[http://fav.me/d5kqkv0 Succubi]] are a OneGenderRace that reproduce by biokinesis, telekinetic control of biological function. Thus they can technically reproduce with anybody. They are also able to determine the race of the resulting child within the limits of the genetics available. The sexual act is only required to amp up their empathic connection with the other parent and their biokinetic abilities.
** [[http://fav.me/d5k8ty7 Kitsune]] are able to reproduce sexually, but low population density means that this usually results in half-kitsune. Thankfully they are also able to reproduce [[TrulySingleParent Asexually]], but only if they have [[IdentityAbsorption gestalted]] at least one individual of the opposite gender.

Things Evolve

Technology and Technique

Life and Lives

Battles and Wars

They start as one thing...
...and then become entirely another.


Evolution can be inconvenient.

----

It's no different from Bravura Academy.

Yoon-Ji "Yooji" Jeon considers herself an average girl, perhaps smarter than most. However, she's found herself stuck in the role of the school's student body disciplinarian with a reputation for strength that she thinks is going to get her in trouble sooner or later.

When the pack of new students at the school includes three unique siblings and a serious young man from Europe, she'll have more than just her worries to consider.

This is a world where science fiction meets ancient myth and the rise of psychic powers. Magicians and exorcists walk the world alongside pilotable, humanoid "uprights."

As it stands, the worlds of Avalon, a high-tech organization of mercenaries; Yomi and Nirvana, ancient, hidden nations of occult power; Psyche, a shadowy organization of mystics and psychics; and Bravura Academy, a boarding school for talented young men and women; have but touched without really seeing each other.

But in the pages of this book, individuals from those worlds will finally take full notice of each other.

This book is a show of homage to a variety of sci-fi and fantasy novels and stories as well as various influences, clear or not so clear, from anime and manga.
