I feel like answering! It'll help with the developing of my own Niche mythos. Most of it is just me writing some lore on the fly, so if it's bad or makes no sense in some places, that's probably why. I'm not much of a writer either, so yeah. This is just for fun though
-What happens to nichelings that aren't gods and goddesses when they die? If they somehow exist afterwards in a sort of afterlife, are they different from gods and goddesses (minus the powers), or from their live selves? Do good nichelings go to one place, and bad ones to another?
When nichelings die, their souls go to the realm ruled by the nicheling gods. Depending on how they lived, they can go to the land, seas or skies (high mountain peaks, they're not living on clouds) of that realm. They generally have free travel between them, but some places are only accessible by the gods and if the gods feel like it, they can close off the travel ports between them.
Dead nichelings are usually referred to as "ghosts" or "souls". They are basically dead versions of their alive selves. Some ghosts, for unknown reasons (read: because I can't think of a reason), gain special powers and the ability to incarnate in the physical world. They are referred to as "spirits", sometimes "guardians"
In general, all nichelings get to live in the realm of the gods when they die. However, there is a seperate "dark realm" that is only partially controlled by the gods. Spirits and gods can travel there, but rarely do. It's sort of a "prison" realm; if the gods decide that a nicheling really doesn't deserve to live with them, maybe they did some really unforgivable stuff, they are sent there. there they spend a long time in isolation, before being sent through trials for them to prove that they've changed and can leave the dark realm. Most of the time, nichelings who were there get to go to paradise, since most of the gods are unwilling to keep nichelings in the dark realm forever. However, there are some nichelings that never changed and are still there
-In real life, some species can interbreed with each other, like horses and donkeys (creating mules). But this is widely known to be because they share some of the same ancestors, and haven't changed so much that they can't breed with each other anymore. So, why can Nichelings and Bearyenas breed, when they're different species?
All creatures are related to some degree, some more than others. Bearyenas and nichelings are very similar compared to others, so they can breed together. Since bearyenas are seemingly the only species that nichelings can breed with, and any nicheling can have the bearyena genes, regardless of whether they are hybrids or not, some believe that nichelings and bearyenas might be the same species. Others believe it could just be a genetic fluke, and nichelings only developed bearyena genes after making hybrids because they are very genetically malleable
-How did the Niche world come to be?
It was created by a primordial entity that basically woke up from a long nap, saw an empty world, decided it needed some life, and created the creatures that now inhabit that world, before going back to sleep. Before it went back to sleep, however, it created gods for every creature that it created to continue to shape the world and guide their people. All creatures have their own set of gods
-Do all Nichelings speak English? Do they all speak a different language, but when depicted on the forums, speak English? Do different groups of Nichelings speak different languages?
I think that when depicted as speaking english, they're technically speaking their own language
There are different languages that specific groups will speak, but I also think that there is a "universal" language that almost all nichelings can speak or understand to some degree
-Not quite mythology, but how do your nichelings see, for example, the instant aging of teen to adult? Do they simply wake up one day and find themselves taller and more mature, or are the changes over time, like in real life? Other examples include nicheling death (body instantly changes into bones), food storage, and nighttime.
I don't think that it's a sudden thing for my nichelings. It's a gradual thing. Nichelings slowly grow over the course of many days, until they eventually become stronger and more energetic
For death, I'm not entirely sure. I like Sky's idea that they disintegrate into dust leaving their bones behind, but I'm not really sure if that's how I want to go with my own. Maybe those decomposers are just really efficient at what they do

Food, they bury food and dig it up when they need to eat. Or something. Not 100% on that one either
Night, yeah I like Sky's thing. They can stay up for a bit when the sun goes down, but they all get drowsy and fall asleep eventually. To nichelings, night is just the time when the sun goes down and they go to sleep. And also when the predators wake up and attack and stuff
-How do nichelings become gods and goddesses? Is there a nicheling that chooses who becomes a god or goddess, or what?
Nichelings don't become gods; only the children of the gods are gods. However, regular nichelings can gain more powers and become spirits. Exactly why or how it works is unknown (read: I can't think of a reason why it happens lol). Also, a ghost can stay a ghost for some time before being promoted. Spirits can also have their title be changed. I originally had Risi as my spirit of good fortune, but I decided to make her the spirit of protection instead because I think that suits her more
-If there's so many different pantheons, is only one true, and the rest just stories? Is each pantheon real, but they each control a different area of the world? If the second one is the case, then do some/all nichelings know of multiple pantheons? Can the areas interact? Can nichelings from one pantheon's area cross into a different pantheon's area? (I'd assume so because of, y'know, give-me-a-nicheling playthroughs, but do whatever you want!)
I'm not sure if you're talking about one person having multiple pantheons, or the thing where everyone has their own pantheon. If it's the former, I only have one, so it doesn't apply to me. If it's the latter, I'm going for the Rick Riorden route; everyone's pantheons are true, they just only affect certain places and tribes
-Do humans exist in the same world as nichelings? If so: Do they live separately from nichelings? Do they know nichelings exist? If they live alongside nichelings, it it peacefully? Do different groups of humans and nichelings have different relationships? Do humans keep nichelings as pets? Decorate their homes with their pelts?
After reading some other people's things on this, I really like the idea of humans, or at least a human-like race existing in this universe! They would exist in some far-off land. They don't usually interact with nichelings, though a very long time ago, some nichelings probably wandered to the human lands, and eventually a domestic species was made. Domesticated nichelings would be this universe's dogs, they are used for hunting and companionship. Also, domestic nichelings only ever have one gem
-How do nichelings gain gems? Do they magically appear upon the nicheling's chest when they reach the right age? Do they find the gems? Is there a god or goddess who gives the gems to nichelings? Do gems simply not exist in the Niche world, and are only there for us people as a guide when playing the game?
Gems appear on a nicheling's chest when they reach a certain age. They define how old one another are by how many gems are had. Gems are seen as vessels of the soul, a physical representation of their life experiences, their joys and sorrows, their beliefs and values, what makes them an individual. It's believed that a nicheling that loses its gems loses that
Additionally, nichelings can manually change a gem's colour. They're naturally green, but they can change them to signify things. In Adam's tribe, they make the outer two blue when a nicheling has the Home Island immunity. In all tribes, they make the outer two orange when a nicheling has double immunity. I used to make "leaders" have a yellow middle gem, but I haven't really been doing that much as of late
And that's that! Might've missed something, but whatever

@Tundra I really like your style. But I think I might have made mine a bit to 1D? Once again the paws I messed up on big time. I kept redrawing them.
It's definitely not a bad attempt! I like it! Honestly, paws are kinda tricky even for me sometimes lol
I see you caught on to the fact that I like to draw dots above my characters' eyes 👀
