A YJA Moment: The Mythics

What has been called The Mythics are magical creatures that were once numerous on the planet.  Whether created by the gods or the result of portals to other worlds and dimensions, creatures like Centaurs, Dragons, Medusa were commonly encountered by heroes all over the world.

However, with the growing presence of civilization and the power of technology, even the most powerful Mythics found themselves overpowered and out-numbered.  Groups like the Holy Order of St. Dumas and the Demon Knights made it their duty to slay these "foul creatures", while singular heroes like Hercules and Jason slew Mythics indiscriminately.

Mythics were forced to hide in order to survive.  Some retreated to unexplored territories or magically hidden lands, while others made desperate bargains for patrons to hide them.  However, for most their fate was sealed.  They would be hunted and slaughtered, their forms used as the ingredients for magical devices, and their existence relegated to nursery rhymes or books of ancient lore.

In modern times, the Centaur known as Adrasteia the Kentauride has begun the process to gather the remaining Mystics and house them in the dimensional pocket she calls Outland.  To that end, she has been scouring the globe and making contact with various groups that have supernatural creatures as members, offering them a new home in Outland.

At this time the Medusae Steno and Scylla,  the Asgardian steed Sleipnir, and the Unicorn known as Panacea are permanent residents. After the events in the Underworld and Japan, the Centaurs Hylonome and Chiron have also have taken up residence in Outland.  The dimension also has its share of temporary visitors, such as the Gargoyles of Clan Wyvern and the dragon Shou Lung.
