The original inhabitants of this planet are those called Ornithians, and the Oiseaux. they were the dominating species on Midian, and especially Port Ashford until the creatures from earth, including humans, arrived.

Both the Ornithians and the Oiseaux are the same genus, easily described as bird people. they have human bodies, bird heads, but with feathers, the legs of birds and wings on their backs. there are many common species recognizable to the earthlings, such as ravens and eagles, but there are also others.

the Ornithians are the exalted ones, the government, armies and royalty. they were once the law of this planet but when the humans came, of course they did their best to overthrow the existing government with their own, and thus came the second apocalypse, leaving everything destroyed in their wake. it is now that the Ornithians will not hesitate to kill anyone from earth, though their sights are set on the humans, the demanding, power hungry creatures that started the whole war in he first place.

the Oiseaux are the civilians, doing their best to rebuild their world back to where it was before the earthlings came. they will not kill unless there is a reason, but that doesn't mean they like anyone from earth, or that they will help in any way, only that they do not want more war, only to start over their lives and move on.

as with any creature, there are exceptions to the rule, Oiseaux that will kill on sight, Ornithians that wouldn't hurt a fly, and humans that are not power hungry and cruel, it is up to us to decide who we trust and who we must protect ourselves from.
