Ah... hm, how do I condense my world into something palatable...
[ Give him a moment to consider this, lulling his head from side to side with a hum, trying to think about the things he's learned from others that are... different from what he knows of his own world. ]
Well, for starters, the "people" there are all different species. Usually all with some sort of... um, how would you say... "animal" trait? Like, ears or horns or tails or whatever else. There's all sorts there.
The world itself is full of very extreme natural disasters that we've named "catastrophes." Because of this, most of our major cities are actually massive landships that can move once we determine a catastrophe is going to occur nearby.
These catastophes end up completely destroying the land they hit and leaving a mineral, called "Originium," in their wake. This mineral is very sought after in my world, as it is a great power source for both technology and can also be used by people to use special abilities that we call "Arts". However, people who have been exposed for prolonged periods or come into direct contact with Originium can become infected, and will slowly start to form rocks over their bodies until they finally fully crystalize, forever. This is called "Oripathy," and people with this affliction are treated as outcasts and, while there is treatments available to them, our society has reached a point where people think they shouldn't be treated, but rather, exiled.
Despite this, Originium is a very integral part of our world. It has provided us with a technological boon, and gives us enough energy to power entire cities for eons.

...Ah, sorry, that was probably a lot, huh?
