Work by TV Tropes editor Gigaspine7.
On a separate arm of the milky way from our own, a planet ruled by six godly figures with powers over the elements resides. After realizing that their powers in bulk may destroy their creation, the gods sought a balance, and decided to recruit two more gods and two guardians of the dead from the planet's residents, the Kendans and the dragons. The two guardians became the Death and Satan of the world, and so far they had only found one worthy of the title of god. However, this one quickly went mad with power, and was nearly sealed away before escaping. In order to combat his possible return, the remaining gods decided to choose six bloodlines meant to protect the world. However, one bloodline died out shortly after the duty was done. As the planet enters an equivalent to our Renaissance, the god returns, bringing several followers with him, including a warrior from the chosen bloodline of wind.

Has a character sheet
This series will provide examples of:
- By the Lights of Their Eyes: Several species have eyes that work similar to a cat's.
- Elemental Powers: The entire Kendan species, with Earth/flora, Water/ice, Fire/magma, Light/electricity, Wind/smoke, and Shadow/hammerspace.
- Floating Limbs: A majority of dominant species on the planet use a telekinetic power to keep them hovering.
- Foreign Sounding Gibberish: Imagine an elf trying to speak by interchanging Japanese and several European languages, and you have the unfiltered Kendan language.
- Mineral MacGuffin: Each main hero carries one of six gems that increases their magic abilities and drastically alters their weapons.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: The shorter a Kendan appears, the stronger they may be. Justified since "Strength" would be their telekinetic ability rather than actual muscle.
- Required Secondary Powers: Fire dragons are extremely heatproof, water dragon spit acid, and thus have mucus coated mouths and throats, etc.
- Revision: Eventually, a few backstories were changed in a subtle yet noticable manner, to the point where it looks more like the previous iterations were simply summaries of the recent version.
- Swiss-Army Appendage: A biological example; Most of the entire cast is capable of "dropping" one limb and using a replacement.
- The Usual Adversaries: The Shaarkazan, grave robbing lizardmen who are intimidatingly tall, but crouch constantly and wear small cloaks to appear shorter.
- Wings Do Nothing: Ghosts have wings that are purely ornamental.
