I was going to delete those, but I decided it was nice to see their evolution.

People think Tillril are peace loving, soft, and that they can't fight, this is because they don't have a formal army, and because a small group of Tillril who refuse to fight anyone ever.
Most Tillril are not like that. 75% of all wars in this universe are Tillril fighting each other, most are trained in combat from birth and they often kill people for no reason.

Humans: About all magic races see humans at best inferior hairless monkeys and ignore them unless for food purpose and at worst test subjects or animals that can talk
Mermaid: They are usually mistaken for sirens, They are seen as majestic, beautiful and stuff, In reality some species of mermaids are straight up brutal, especially sharks and piranha
Fairies: Seen as baby-stealing psychopaths with no morals, This isn't true for most fairies, though Logan's "mother" fit the case
Vampires: Sparkly pricks who managed to act both like entitled prisses and dumb jocks
Werewolves: They seen as distant and weird, they also are seen as, er, sensual, since it's rumored they can go into heat, which isn't true in this universe
Benampa: They are seen as childlike and dumb, like Felix is like that most Benampi are relatively smart, escapially since they live in a black hole
Ghost: They are usually seen as lost souls that take vengeance on the living out of envy, to the rumors credit they're kind of right, though ghostness does exist on a spectrum

Flareic: They like shiny things and no one is ever going to let them forget that.
Erdan: They're like giants compared to other races, and people seem to think big=dumb.
Serese: Weird fish people with no cheekbones, ew.
Armain: Seen as snobby pretty boys, and that's not wrong.
Stained: The smallest of the races, but also the scariest.
Thundrain: They run fast. That's it.
Nordan: Nobody likes them, they're mean.
Merkai: They are very serious and formal, and they don't use sarcasm. They are really smart though.
Shanin: They're just lots of fun. The Shanin are small, furry and adorable, and very unlikely to conquer your city.
Dazoi: Widely seen as heartless monsters. They're also very conceited.
Puri: Mind readers??? Unconfirmed.
Humans: Always building random things, or alternatively taking something apart because they didn't like it.

Neraka are either thieves and bandits or an unstoppable force. They're…not wrong, per se.
Lupane are mindless beasts driven only by madness. More like hunger one night a month and energy one other night.

Aqinians are, at least according to stereotypes, depraved sex maniacs as well as utter fanatics in their devition to their goddess empress who would believe absurdities and commit atrocities if she told them to. Of course it is not all true but it is not unfounded.
In reality their race has little desire for violence and they would most likely drag their feet even if the goddess told them to fight as long as they do not consider the enemy a threat to the empire.
