The series revolves around [[AcademyOfAdventure Bravura Academy]] which is attended by exceptional, or at least rich, students from all over the world, and beyond it in one case. While most of the student body are relatively normal kids who are just incredibly talented, but some of the students have their own secrets which have drawn attention to the school from different factions of the world. Fortunately, the school is already sponsored by Avalon, a mercenary organization that is somehow connected with the major powers of the free world.

* [[AllMythsAreTrue All Myths Are Sort Of True]]: There is a large number of minor races which evolved in isolated communities throughout the world. Most of the modern ones look very human or can make themselves look very human. Combined with the activities of the Gods and Demons, most myths can be attributed to something real, though some species have been extinct for a while.

** Burma, the Empire of Myanmar, rose to power in South East Asia after World War II thanks to MacArthur getting Imperialist in late WWII.

* 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.
*** Nonsexually Induced Pregnancy: 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 easier and 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.
*** Also, if a kumiho, an insane kitsune that doesn't care about the reprecussions of unwilling gestalts, attempts and fails to absorb a person, the survivor might find themselves being kitsune in the aftermath.
