==Beatcrafted==
The results of attempts by the mortal races to shape the song of their own accord, to recreate the divine notes that brought about all of creation. While the non-deific mind can perceive the tempo, the pacing, the individual notes, this does not mean that they can fully comprehend the meaning of the Song of their own accord. Ever so often, however, the music of the series manages to saturate the workings of a brilliant, receptive, possibly 'mad' mind. Driving by such forces of inspiration, they attempt to sire a new sort of creation, seldom realizing that their inspiration comes from the very thing that they attempt to recreate, thinking it in their own image.

They are myriad shape, created rather than born, but all possess a distinctively mechanical, artificial appearance, resultant of their crafting. They are perhaps the most wide-eyed and innocent of races in their beginning, but individuals quickly find themselves rendered cynical and jaded by the disregard in which they are held, deemed 'lesser' beings for not being created of the Gods as the other races are. Most commonly, they take their creators as a sort of pantheon, instinctively aware of others who might have similarly been touched by the Song and knowing them as equals to their 'Fathers and Mothers'.

Known makers of the Beatcrafted include, among others, the Herbalist Hankok, who created the most organic-yet-mechanical contrast of demi-life in his initial Beatcrafted, Rokkit; Transeau the Dreamer, whose ever-vigilant creation is known only the Somnambulist of the Waking Dream, champion of Simply Being Loved; a strange wanderer known only as the Corpulent Gaunt, who has 'authored' many of the Beatcrafted, including the adventuring twins known as Right Here and Right Now, the notorious thieving menace called Gangsta Trippin', and the Beatcrafted who is known for its attempts to transcend gender and its own construction as a bard known as 'The Rockafella Skank'; and a group of enigmatic crafters who once created a child-form Beatcraft, left in a city to learn and grow on her own, who only left the female-shape with a name - Return to Innocence.

The biggest distinction among the Beatcrafted, as well as their makers, is a rather determined refusal to allow themselves to be categorized in life, or to be grouped by inspiration, modus operandi, and the Beatcrafted they make. Those who tend to create Beatcrafted that are stronger in the intellectual and philosophical pursuits are most commonly described as 'Trancers', not to be confused with Transeau, who simply happens to have a similar mood to match his name. Those who create Beatcrafted of might and violence are usually referenced as the Industrial, if only to match the fairly typical utilitarian appearance of their creations. Where they are created to be things of charming beauty, the creators are often referenced as Dancers, though such appellations are simply those bestowed by individuals who would attempt to find a unifying theme among those who would manufacture Beatcrafted.

Perhaps the most frightening aspect, to mortal minds, are the first known Beatcrafted who have, themselves, created Beatcrafted of their own...
