It's alright! It's my wiki so I'm willing to give as much information as possible!

1. Wolf Kao versus Human Kao

I guess I did make that kind of unclear.

For one, the wolves didn't actually have names originally. Wolfgang called them the names he did. Now he actually named Siberia after the area where his best friend Human Kao's tribe came from. He named Kiara partially after his mother (who's name was 'Kiera") and partially after his favorite movie, Lion King. He finally named Sylvia that because Sylvia means "From the forest" and that's where he met the wolves. He wouldn't have met Wolf Kao at all until after reaching Starmaninja, who he named after his late best friend.

The Human Kao's soul did ascend to Starmaninja as one of the first Starmaninjians. Due to his similarity in personality to Wolf Kao  and his kind, nature loving nature, his Starmaninjian descendant would eventually become the Wolf Kao you see me draw all the time, with the help of Kiara, who used the soul of Wolfgang's mother to develop her own personality. This is kind of why Kiara has a strong, african female like personality and design despite the other wolves being based on Native Americans. So Human Kao purely exists as who they call "The Original Kao" typically. If you've seen Manan Kao. That's how Human Kao looks except his skin is darker and he wears a Native American style clothing. THe striped shirt and shorts are actually clothing Wolfgang drew for a character of his and the white skin is to indicate that Starmaninjians have ambiguous skin color. That's all that you need to know about Human Kao though. From this point on, every time Kao's name is mentioned, it refers to Starmaninjian Kao. Wolf Kao's spirit is known as "Shadow" or "Genric Shinobi" until he fuses with Starmaninjian Kao.

2. Sylvia's god powers not working?

Sylvia was considered a visitor at the time she entered Earth, and was limited physically to what she can do. Much like how Jesus was still a mortal human despite being the son of God. The way it generally works, when anyone visits a new universe, they are kind of bound to the rules and laws of the universe, which is why she couldn't use her powers until she simply left. She was intending to stay just long enough to hear and study the way humans act, as well as other animals, then die naturally to leave without disrupting the balance, but what she didn't realize immediately is that on Earth, when you mate, you get preganant. So she and Kao ended up having 2 daughters earlier than she wanted (She was going to have children when she reached the new universe). Siberia and Kiara didn't know they were born as deities and it was mostly the time they spent with Wolfgang that caused them to really develop their personalities and such. It was acutally when Wolfgang would spend hours each day telling the wolves about his stories that the twin daughters figured out how to make thier own universe (despite being wolves, they did understand him, they just couldn't communicate with him directly). So when they died, they were able to get right to desiging the universe. Sylvia would've helped them, but was too traumatized about what happened, so the Universe ended up being kind of a nursing home for her. (She was just appalled to come across such cruel beings, the hunters, and wanted to regret going to Earth, but meeting Wolfgang was just too much of a blessing. Just like in real life how bad things happen to all of us, but there's always something good that comes out of it.)

3. The Soul's memories

The soul dictates the memories a Starmaninjian would have, but the physical body is what determines if they can be recollected or not (at the moment). This is loosely based on the fact that in real life, people have claimed to have memories of past lives, dreams of living in the past as someone else, and even memories of living as an animal or in another universe. When Starmaninjians give birth, their child is basically just formed from half the soul of each parent. and like I said above, they have all thier parent's memories, but can't necessarily remember them. For example, Baiyo Flirewing is the Daughter of Phoenix Flirewing and Eagle Aerowing. It took Phoenix 2000 years (really less than that, but..that's about how old she is), to master the element of fire, but because Baiyo is her daughter, she automatically knows how to use Fire (and wind for her father) as well she also knows she's very strong because of her father. This is why Baiyo as a child knows she can safely attack with high force and manipulate fire easily wihtout having to be taught (much like animals in real life in a sense).

Now on Earth, it's presumed that if you die, you may or may not be reincarnated, or you may just ascend, but most humans don't remember anything about thier past life except little bits and pieces (If they did come back). Starmaninja however guarantees that your body is reincarnated, because Soula just rebuilds your body as it was before you "died" and then puts your soul back into it. You end up with all your memories except for the seconds where you were dying (so you don't remember the pain or anything). but the bottom line is that the Soul is never destroyed. This is how Sylvia can remember what her life was like before even visitng Earth, as well as Kao.

4. Sylvia's Trauma

Sylvia's trauma actually didn't have a direct effect on the Starmaninjian universe as much as just left her wanting to be alone for a long time. The Universe is about 10,000 years old overall. While she knew her daughters were safe, the biggest thing that impacted was she had a horrible vendetta against humans and detested the sight of them. In the first few games planned for Starmaninjian Kao's adventure, Sylvia, who is falsely called "Shredda" attacks Manan Kao and Kia because she misunderstands who they are and isn't aware of Kiara's plan to design a perfect body for her father yet. Kia can't tell Sylvia exactly what's going on because she needs to make sure the Starmaninjian body doesn't develop new memories of Sylvia (or gets a bad impression), so she forcefully refers to Sylvia as "Shredda" and makes her seem to be a Generic Shadow, the antagonistic group created to keep the Starmaninjians trained and all. After a final battle in the second game's adventure, Kiara takes Sylvia to an alternate dimension and tells her what's going on and explains why she didn't tell her sooner, which then Sylvia stops attacking, but instead takes time to tell her husband in spirit form what's going on. Incedently, it's actually Wolf Kao's spirit who resented the new body because he wasn't sure he'd be able to protect her daughters with it incase something like what happened on Earth happened again. It's very Lion King 2 esque where Starmaninjian Kao is like Kovu and Wolf Kao is like Simba and of course, Kiara's Kiara! ^ ^

5. The way reproduction works

THe best way to explain this is to look at the Unvierse in terms of dimentional planes.

There are 3 Starmaninjian planes (there are a few more, but many are parallel):

1. The Goddess Dimension - This is where the beings from outside dimensions meet and live (Siberia, Kiara, Kao, Zena, Soula, etc). This is where they all oversee the entire Starmaninjian universe and control every aspect of it.

2. The Omnipotent Dimension - This is where the omnipotent Starmaninjians live, the other Goddesses like Celestia, Drane, etc. This dimension is reserved for unique Starmaninjians souls that were directly created by those in the Goddess dimension and starts the line of descendants that makes up the Starmaninjians who walk the planet. This is why two Starmaninjians can end up being exactly the same despite not having the same relatives.

3. The Starmaninjian Dimension - This is where all the magic happens and shows it's results. Where all the people live, breed, eat, etc. Because new souls can only be created in the upper 2 dimensions (or the imaginations of the Starmaninjians itself), every Starmaninjian here is going to be a mixutre of the souls that were created in the higher dimensions. It will just keep mixing and randomizing in features to keep making new Starmaninjians, but they are all pretty much just a mixture of the ones from the Ominpotent dimension or Goddess Dimension. Which is why reproduction is so limited.

If the population were to ever get too high, the souls may start fusing together with soulds that are too similar so the memories of both Starmaninjians and bodies become one. Since the original soul exists  and the new soul is just a mixture of the original souls, it's very easy for a Starmaninjian to just fuse with another with a similar soul signature to become one being. They're already all the same person anyway.

However, overpopulation won't happen for eons, as there are only about 2 million Starmaninjians in the entire universe so far and the galaxy is about 5 planets, each 1.5x the size of Earth....Plus thier bodies are designed to make Reproduction something you can only do if you really want a child, and by default will block sperm from reaching the eggs, so you have to force the path open if you're female. Plus the goddesses can always make more planets very easily.

The soul that transfers to the child is random mostly, but usually will be even. Typically one parent's body and the other's personality or powers transfer. and sometimes, grandparents genes will transfer.

6. What happens when they die?

When a Starmaninjian dies (or ends up in a position where they would otherwise not escape), their bodies just fade away, then Soula takes thier body, uses her goddess powers to recreate it, and puts the soul back in, then teleports them to a safe spot. Much like what happens in a video game with respawning. Starmaninjians never die permananetly except in rare cases where the Goddesses walked the planet as a Starmaninjian and want to the body to permanently leave the planet because they've done what they wanted (which is what Kiara does after hearing Starmaninjian Kao finally call her "Kiara" on his own, indicating that the part of her father's soul inserted in his body was finally awakening).

7. Manan form

Hehe, I was a bit unclear there. the "Physical forms" are actually literally transformations. not unique beings (except in Kia Stealthinja's case, where Kiara actually borrowed the body of a grim reaper named Shredda who was created by Soula to help her reap). the Young Starmaninjian Kao was born as a Ratzu, but became a Manan so he could adapt to adventure a bit easier and enjoy his childhood with Starky. and Starky was born a Manan because he was originally a human. Wolfgang and Starky are the exact same person and really show the whole "Reincarnation" concept most directly because Wolfgang, who lives in the Ancient Kingdom, and Starky, the young boy born from Wolfie and Dragon, are the exact same person. The Dragon form was based on the character Wolfgang created when he was alive and is exclusive to young Starky. Thankfully, Wolfgang and Starky have different names though. I may end up changing the spelling of Human Kao's name, probably "Kaoh" to differentiate.

8. Terrible future

Yeah, I was getting depressed because once I got to college, everyone was acting like college was the only thing that mattered and everything the professors and the school said was pretty much what I did. If they said I failed, it was my fault, even if it wasn't. It really wasn't until I met one kind professor who actually talked to me about the problem and pointed out the truth of what was going on, which is when everyone started to stop abusing me and treating me like I was meant to be a slave my whole life. I was finally able to choose what I wanted to do with my life and follow my own dreams and things have gotten far better since then.

Basically to summarize: Say you wanted to be a carpenter, but because of the university you went to, a professor gives you a bad mark in an economy class that has nothing to do with your skills, and you're treated as a failure and as punishment, are forced to retake the class and redo everything just to prove you're "worthy" of passing. It was so stupid.
