IFA
Ifa are radiant beings capable of generating glowing orbs of bioluminescent light in the palms of their hands.
These lights shift in color according to their strength, ranging from red (the weakest), to orange, yellow, blue, violet, and finally white (the most powerful).
The light they create is more than illumination—it is their life force. It serves as a guide in darkness, a shield against harm, and a visible manifestation of their inner vitality.

jabless
In folklore, the La Jabless—also known as the Diablesse, or "she-devil"—is often portrayed as a stunningly beautiful woman cursed with one human leg and one cloven hoof, a deformity she hides beneath long, flowing skirts.
She is a seductive and mysterious figure who lures unsuspecting men into the wilderness, never to be seen again.
In this series, Jabless are reimagined as both male and female beings, all possessing an otherworldly allure. They are irresistibly attractive, with an almost supernatural magnetism. Their most potent weapon is the power of hypnosis: with the touch of a hand and direct eye contact, they can seize control of a person’s mind, bending thoughts, emotions, and actions to their will.
Their influence is nearly impossible to resist, making them masters of manipulation, seduction, and psychological domination. Though beautiful, there is always something uncanny beneath the surface—a sense that behind the charm lies danger, and beneath the smile, a curse.

Changras
Changras are a formidable type of Oka gifted with the elemental power of fire.
They possess the rare ability to ignite their bodies from within and fully transform into beings of living flame within seconds. In this fiery form, their physical features become engulfed in flickering heat and glowing embers, making them both awe-inspiring and dangerous.
The transformation grants them enhanced strength, agility, and resistance to heat, allowing them to wield fire not only as a weapon, but as an extension of their very being.
Changras are often feared and revered for their raw intensity, and their presence on the battlefield is both a warning and a promise of destruction.

Maji
Maji are enigmatic shadow-beings that dwell in and draw power from darkness.
Their forms are fluid and ever-shifting, allowing them to blend seamlessly into shadows, becoming nearly invisible in low light.
One of their most haunting abilities is their power to phase through solid matter—walls and doors, slipping through the world like smoke. This makes them master infiltrators and elusive opponents.
Maji are often silent observers, moving unseen, gathering secrets, or striking from the dark before vanishing without a trace. Though intangible for the most part, when threatened, they can solidify parts of their form to defend or attack with eerie precision.
Many fear them not for their strength, but for the way they make the darkness itself feel alive.

Skarnel
Skarnels are parasites that are endemic Exodus Island, Saint Flora. Its pale, almost translucent shell flecked with clusters of iridescent blue specks shimmer like frost.
It survives by invading a living host, burrowing deep until its body becomes the perfect cradle for its young. Once inside, the skarnel releases a chilling secretion that seeps through the host’s veins, freezing it slowly from the inside out.
Victims of infestation grow pale and rigid, their skin taking on a corpse-white frostbitten hue before life ebbs completely. By the time the parasite’s offspring emerge, the host is nothing more than a brittle, ice-laced husk.

PAPA BOIS (FOREST KEEPERS)
Papa Bois in Caribbean folklore is often remembered as the “keeper of the forest,” a horned, half-man, half-goat (or deer in some countries) figure who protects animals and trees from hunters and harm.
In Saint Flora, however, the tales speak of him differently. Papa Bois is no gentle guardian, but a sadistic keeper of the woods — a withered, ancient figure whose face is lined with bark-like creases and whose gaze weighs heavier than the shadows between the trees.
No traveler passes deeper into the forest without his leave. He demands gifts, favors, or secrets as payment, and the price is rarely what one expects.
At his side is a crooked staff that looks no different than a fallen branch, yet it holds the measure of his years — the older he grows, the more twisted and gnarled it becomes. From its knots sprout his power, binding him to the breath of the forest itself.
He also carries a flute carved from bone and root, and when he plays it, the very plants lean in to listen, the animals stilling as though under a spell. With it, he speaks in a language only he commands, one that bends claw and leaf alike to his will. None but Papa Bois can wield these relics, for they are pieces of him, extensions of the deep-rooted pact he shares with the island’s wild heart.

WANZUS
Wanzus are the memory keepers of the Oka, burdened with a flawless recollection that neither time nor trauma can erode. They forget nothing — every word, every gesture, every breath they have ever witnessed remains preserved in the vault of their minds.
Yet, for all their perfect memory, they lack the gift of imagination. They cannot invent nor embellish, cannot weave a tale beyond the bare truth of what has been.
Physically, they are unsettling to behold. The backs of their skulls extend into a long, tapering curve, as though their heads have been stretched to contain the vast archives within.
Their speech is endless, tumbling in great rivers of detail, for verbosity is their only release. Once stirred, a Wanzu may recount an event from decades past with such precision that every sound and shadow comes alive again.
Though invaluable to the Oka, the Wanzu inspire unease. Their presence is a reminder that nothing is ever truly lost, no secret buried deep enough to escape their keeping. Where others tell stories to make sense of the world, the Wanzu are the stories themselves — living records, doomed to recite but never to dream.
