* HeavySleeper - Genies don't really have much to do with all their free time. Command over the cosmos in a small area can only entertain someone for so long. They take up sleeping right quick-- they do it so much it actually becomes something of an AchillesHeel.

''"To be honest, I haven't really thought about what I would do if I were free. I suppose it would be different if I were. Right now, I know everything-- well, almost everything that I bother to remember-- and I've seen everything directly through the cosmos itself. There isn't much I could think that I'd want to do. But... not being a genie anymore, I guess that would be a different thing in it's own right. All these things I know, I'd just forget. But then again-- I'd have forever to learn them all over again and first hand. I bet that would be great."''

* BenevolentGenie / JackassGenie - There is a varied distinction between these two as Shireen tends to follow orders in accordance to her creator. This being said she can easily become one or the other based on the wisher, how they wish, and what they are wishing for. Normally, she proves to be the first, but it's hard to actually pinpoint due to the countless tragedies that have come about due to her wishing granting prowess.
* BlowYouAway - Her Djinni powers give her limited control over Air, Wind, Atmosphere and what have you.
* GenieInABottle - She used to be a genie, but now she's a Djinni, but only because OurGeniesAreDifferent.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl - This is kind of how she wants to be around Tails (just don't tell him)
* OurGeniesAreDifferent - Explains itself.
* RealityWarper - Genies are the tinkers of the universe, able to make it bend and shape at the whims of their masters. Granted, controlling this power is another thing entirely.
* SuperSmoke - Genies can turn into smoke... That's it. She can turn into smoke. Nothing more to see here.

He's not kidding. Memphis is a ghost, who was "promoted" to serving as the Grim Reaper's apprentice. You'd never know it until he used his powers or told you, though. When he's not doing some odd job for Old Grim, he's socializing, or off on some job as a musician. More occasionally, he takes some covert mission as a mercenary. He also has to ''eat'' the life force to keep himself undead.

Characters can be created in most any way you can think, with three weak powers to start or one strong, though there are a few that have no powers at all and that somehow have survived to be in the campus. There are no predefined races, even the Evotellurics (Which are the most abundant race there, followed by werewolves/wolf-hybrids) have lots of diversity, from the ones with powers that deal with entropy, to powers that... Yeah, deal with the taste of the skin and being addictive. It is also possible to register a custom race if you want, to share it with the world or to keep it all for yourself.

The variety of proffessions, abilities, personalities, and even species is truly astonishing.
