Human

Humans
Humans in Gensekai are physically similar to the humans that can be found in the outside world (a world very similar to ours), but the amount of spiritual essence they can posses is far greater. This gives them overall better strength and durability then the normal human, though a Fernavian human is more to the level of a normal human due to the lack of magic exposure they are subject to. Humans are more then capable of using basic danmaku and learning magic to boost their power to high levels, enough to contend with the best of the best in Gensekai. The average Gensekai human is a little more powerful than the average Yokai but the population difference is outstanding in favor of Yokai.

While a human becoming a Yokai is quite rare, there are a few ways this can happen. The most common and most plausible way is when a human magician (what we consider a witch or wizard), uses spells that remove their humanity and slowly replace it with the essence of magic. These are Magicants. Other transformation methods are either unknown or really specific.

The chart below helps to list a few of the human types.

Magicants
The evolved form a Magician, a Magicant is a human who has replaced their humanity with the essence of Magic through the use of certain spells, though this can happen accidentally as well. Humans can also be born as Magicants if one or both of their parents are one. Their body is essentially human and in a lot of cases can become on the frailer side, but as long as they keep their health up, they won't be adversely affected.

Magicants have a resistant to many poisons and other toxic materials. Magicants age physically at a much slower pace once they reach adulthood and keep looking young for many, many years. They also have a lack of need for food or sleep on the same level as a normal human. Magicants are much more susceptible to sicknesses of a magical kind and their health can vary depending on the environment.

Finally, Magicants can also be formed when an object comes into contact with great magical power and is given a human-like form. Similar to how a tsukumogami is a yokai brought to life through age and the spirit of the object taking over. An example can be a statue in the Forest of Aether eventually absorbing enough magic to gain a human form and sapience.

Hermits
Hermits are humans who have been blessed with supernatural powers through vigorous religious training. They may live for thousands of year but aren't considered immortal. Unlike a Celestial who's body can be considered a poison to Yokai, the flesh of a hermit can grant an animal a Yokai form if consumed, while a Yokai will ascend to a higher rank or form. Of course, per Gensekai laws, a Yokai killing a hermit for this is illegal.

Hermits attain their pseudo-immortality by being able to fend off the assassin of hell that comes to collect their overdue souls. Normally a powerful Oni called a Kishin. If the hermit has lacked in their training by a fairly small margin, they will fail this fight and will be sent to the afterlife. This event usually happens once a century

As hermits have not discarded all of their worldly desires, they often help humans in need.

The home of a hermit is usually very well-hidden and requires travelling along a specific path which can be changed if their home is discovered. This home is called a Senkai.

Celestials
Celestials are more closely related to humans than Yokai, but are considered their own species. Celestials are humans who were born in the Elysium Isle or former hermits who were chosen by Celestials to ascend to their level, usually through the use of Angel messengers. This happens on a case-by-case basis, meaning nepotism and favoritism among the Celestials isn't unheard of.

Celestials are mostly whimsical due to living lives of nothing but relaxation and wayward indulgence in the Elysium Isle, and usually come down to Earth to confuse people with their unpredictable nature.

The flesh of a celestial is a poison to Yokai and therefore feral Yokai tend to avoid attacking them, and they hold great power, being able to tame beasts without much trouble and riding clouds in a divine manner.

Like hermits, Celestials extend their lifespan by fighting the Kishin that comes to collect their soul. Though Celestials have a weakness to beings or people that represent or manipulate life and death.

If humans could be considered the counterparts to Yokai, Celestials are the natural opposition of Yokai.

Veils
When a Celestial is promoted to being one, or born as one, they are given a special item that is unique to them which is called their Veil. It is said that if a thief is able to steal the Veil of a Celestial that the Celestial must marry them, though this has lead to many incidents where Celestials have left their veil for people to connect, marrying if they find the finder attractive and taking it back if otherwise. As such, people have become wary of random items that exude divine energy.

If a Celestial's Veil is destroyed, they will return to being a normal human or become one if they were born as one. They cannot obtain divinity again after this.

Veils are made of the essence of the Moon.
