The Paths We Choose has a cast of characters originating from locales all over the world. Instead of being confined to one place, the story spans multiple countries and locations across the planet.
People within the universe of The Paths We Choose can be divided into four major groups, as follows:
centaurs: a person with a four-legged lower half resembling a land mammal.
pescapeds: a person with a four-legged lower half resembling a fish or other sea creature.
satyrs: a person with a two-legged lower half resembling a land mammal.
merfolk: a person with a fishlike tail as a lower half rather than legs.
In terms of reproduction, centaurs and pescapeds can produce offspring. Satyrs and merfolk may also produce offspring, but it is less common.
