Inhabitants

Trashlandia is primarily inhabited by people, forgotten OCs, and their descendants [1]. A first generation Trashlandian is someone who arrived in Trashlandia from the Void and appeared in the world via Trash Egg. These are somewhat rare, and their descendants are second generation, theirs would be third generation, and so on. Virtually no one keeps track after 5th generation, but being a 2nd or 3rd generation trashlandian is seen as a point of pride by some. Also, no one can agree on what generation the descendant of a 1st generation and a different generation trashlandian is supposed to be [14]. Trashlandia also has a habit of lowering the strength of a 1st generation Trashlandian's abilities upon arrival if they are too powerful [19].

The first first-generation Trashlandians were imaginary friends, broken toys, characters from unfinished novels, and abandoned children, but with the advent of fandoms, particularly star trek, a greater variety of beings began coming over when their creators abandoned them [29]. The first being to come to Trashlandia was a human baby who had been abandoned in a dumpster, who eventually raised other abandoned children with a non-binary teddy bear named Eddie [30].

Many first generation trashlandians have a disorder called "Chosen-One Syndrome", where a character that was always treated as special is suddenly shoved into a world where they aren't. This leads to the new trashlandian being driven to prove that they are special in order to have worth [22]. The disorder is similar to what happens when a child who believes their parents love them only to abandon them upon getting bored, which severely impacts the new trashlandian's ability to trust others and leads to the belief that love is conditional [37].

Trashlandians can reproduce with almost any other trashlandian, with the different races being mixed as a result [31], but some pairings may require magic in order to procreate [35].

Animals
Standard animals came the normal way a new trashlandian appears: via trash egg. They were originally abandoned pets, discarded creature ideas, and Fakemon [33].

Beasts
Beasts are 1st generation trashlandians (or later generations, in extraordinary circumstances [32]) that gave in to feelings of rejection and anger, becoming monsters. Becoming a beast drops the being's intelligence, forcing them to rely more on instinct and emotions [24] and grotesquely warps the person's body [25].

It is rare for someone to come back from being a beast, with a decrease in aggression being the most that can be done in the majority of cases, but occasionally a beast is fully rehabilitated. However, their body remains physically altered from their time as a beast. Due to the inherent risk in rehabilitating a beast, most monsters choose to simply avoid them, pitying their state [20].

The anger and rage a beast feels is directed at sapient life, and they get along well with animals, not normally aggressive toward them. Some beasts form packs, becoming the most dangerous thing a normal trashlandian can encounter in the wilds [21]. Should a beast start killing people, hunters arrive to put them down. No feral marisu is unkiillable even if they are immortal [23]. A beast that looks particularly normal can be told apart from normal trashlandians by simply asking [34].

Clan Cats
Also known as Cat Warriors [16], these beings primarily live outdoors in their own clans, though some become traveling merchants that transact business on behalf of their clan [9]. First generation cats will retain some memories of the four clans from their source material. While some emulate the style of those four, the Trashlandian clans have had to adapt to their environments [11].

Candy Horses
Candy horses come in a variety of bright colors [1]. They are about the same size as a pony and possess magical abilities. Some also have horns and/or wings. They also all develop a distinct marking on their flanks during puberty that some believe is an indicator of their destiny or some aspect of their personality [8]. Some candy horses live for millennia and their glittering manes grow long, but it's common for them to pass their mantle of immortality to an heir when they feel they have fully lived [17].

Creepypastas
Most of these Trashlandians aren't actually very scary, leading to why so many of them are abandoned. Many of their progenitors had a view of horror shared by the origin of the "Who Was Phone" meme [15].

Damphyres
Known: Treasure Princess Tiffany

Also known as half-vampires, these beings share some traits of vampires, such as a desire for blood, but to a lesser extent. They come about when a vampire breeds with a non-vampire. Even still, they are fully capable of eating normal food if they want [10]. They have long lives but are not immortal [17].

Magical Girls
Magical girl is the term used regardless of the trashlandian's gender and includes anyone who transforms into a more powerful storm, with trashlandians originating from Tokyo Mew Mew, Pretty Cure, and Power Rangers qualifying for this designation [27].

Those trashlandians that come with a transformation wand that can be passed to a successor when their lives end. They have a higher-than average rate of becoming mercenaries or bounty hunters [26].

Marisu
Known: Limonada de Fraise, Treasure Princess Tiffany

Marisu are what becomes of Mary Sues that are rejected by their creators. The majority of them are female and struggle with self esteem and general mental health issues because they take rejection by their creators harder than most Trashlandians. There are multiple therapy groups dedicated specifically to helping with the Marisu's issues, because of what happens when one goes feral. A feral Marisu is an extremely dangerous special snowflake with no way to tell what you'll be going up against because the abilities of Marisu vary greatly [7]. The original Mary Sue never made her way to Trashlandia because the author intended parody from the beginning and never rejected her [12]. Some first generation Marisu are immortal but their descendants usually aren't [17]. Many first generation Marisu are very similar, but over time their personalities become distinct from one another [38].

Minecraft Characters
These people have a blocky appearance, an aptitude for making things quickly, and strong fists that can break down trees [36].

Robots
Known: Ryatt [18]

Robots on Trashlandia are fully sentient [4]. However, their will can be overwritten by two ways. First, if their anti-virus software, which functions like an immune system, can't repel malware, their personality can be influenced, but also if you open but their head to tinker with their brain, you can prevent them from doing things, make them want to do things, or even impart new memories. The latter can be done ethically, with the robot dictating what is done to them and its autonomy being respected [6] but more often than not, it isn't [5].

Skeletonfolk
Known: Dr. Gee [28]

There are a number of these beings, and many of them live in Booty Bay [13].

Speedsters
Known: Ari the Capybara [18]

Speedsters are humanoid, have exaggerated spikes, and cartoon-like features [2]. As their name suggests, their defining trait is their speed, with the fastest able to reach speeds of 80 mph. Interestingly, Trashlandia put a speed cap into place and many first generation speedsters can remember being able to break the sound barrier [8].

Superfolk
Those with naturally occurring super powers are known as superfolk, with most of them originating from fan works of DC and Marvel [27]. Those that have a kryptonian's powers who are sent to Trashlandia are significantly weaker on arrival, but retain all their abilities due to the planet's yellow sun [19].

Toys
Toys are those trashlandians who are or are descended from abandoned toys. They live all over Trashlandia but a great many of them live in Clown Town. A disproportionate number of Toys resemble clowns due to the high rate they're abandoned at [31].

Trolls
Trashlandian Trolls have a degree of neotany and have managed to avoid the need for a mother grub for reproduction through the use of technology. They retain a great many varieties of blood colors, but very few of them attribute this color is social status or worth, with those holding this belief being labeled bigots or new arrivals to Trashlandia by society. That said, underwater cities of magenta and indigo-blooded trolls that hold these beliefs exist in the oceans and are avoided by others. There are some that have abilities not normally possessed by standard trolls, mainly because they are abandoned original characters or their descendants [3].

Vampires
Known: Limonada de Fraise

The majority of Trashlandian vampires sparkle in sunlight rather than catch fire [1]. Those that do not are considered disabled by other vampires. Due to their most common skin condition, vampires are open about their nature and pay people for blood as they see drinking straight from a person to be uncivilized. They are also capable of eating normal food if they so choose [10]. Most vampires are immortal until slain or get sick [17].

Wizard Children
Trashlandia has seen a sudden influx of children with wizarding backgrounds. The going theory is that the author of the source material they were based on committed some unforgivable act and their creators were cutting ties with said source material. While not all of these are also Marisu, some of them are [8].
