Woo finally did a writeup of some the races floating in my head. Anyway list is subject to edits which it'll probably face as I start working on the first IC post, and the OOC post. [hider=races] Humans- They come in all sort of shapes and sizes. By far the most numerous of the races. ‘Nuff said. Largartijin- They’re mammalian dragon people. They both sport scale and have fuzz on their tail tips and near the ends of their limbs and hair on their heads. Speaking of heads they also grow horns that either are gnarled or spiral or curve. They also are more magically inclined to the point that the great Orjon development while not completely useless was nowhere near as revolutionary to them. One of their special magics is their ability to sing in magical language native to their kind to inscribe symbols into crystals. They are a cosmopolitan species found damn near everywhere other people are. Due to their innate magical nature they are in demand as scholars or mages in various employments, such as the adventurer’s guild or the various magic colleges for example. However, martially inclined Largar are also able to do just fine. There is a tradition of pure warriors and spell warriors as well running around the world. Chitonians- A race of sapient vaguely hominid insects. They like to live closer to the wilderness although they can be found elsewhere. There are different types of them. There is the cricket/grasshopper sub-type and a beetle sub-type. The beetle types tend to have creches for their offspring until they reach their first molt. At which point they are then able to be mobile and taught further aspects of life and what not. The grasshopper types don’t as their offspring comes without needing to be tended to like the beetles. Both types have a very developed martial arts culture. There are innumerable schools and styles. They like to name their styles after insects and some of their styles have been adapted for other races. They also like their food and booze. They are fond of wines as well as consuming fermented fruit. Limusians- One of the most diverse and colorful race of the world. They are sapient slimes and despite lacking damn near everything most animals have they carry on quite well. Slimes are capable of a soft shape shifting which with practice or magic augmenting it, can last longer and be more complex. Despite lacking bones and muscles they can pack quite a punch, as they too also have their own unique martial art specific to the species. Slimes have very characteristic settlements that seem to be made of hardened material their bodies are made of while also incorporating other building materials. Slimes and the Neopterans share a very close and friendly relationship. The reason for it, is food. By engulfing food into their bodies and sometimes mixed with other ingredients, they can produce foodstuffs that are delicacies. Limusian candied fruits are an artisanal delicacy. Chups- Very similar to humans save for their ears or other additional headgear. Said features are based off animals and have given all sort of mythological origin stories. One such being about the quest of an Ibex who in love with a human princess goes on a quest to rescue her, recruiting other animal companions. The Gods taking pity on its quest eventually bless the Ibex and its companions with human forms thus creating the first of the Chups. The Chups themselves say they come from the moons and that humanity is the one that comes from them. They say after the great cataclysm the link they have to their animalistic totems became severed and thus sprung forth regular humans. Others speculate magic experiments gone awry or natural mutation from magical energies. Regardless, the Chups are more or less the same as humans. A Human and Chup pairing is capable of producing viable offspring . Whether the child looks pure or human or not seems to be up to chance. What separates Chups from humans are certain cultural things. One being their own Lunar worship with a bunch of different holidays based on alignments and whatnot. The other being their own vast lore reproduced in various forms of art, such as dance, poetry, and song. They also have a history of alchemy being the first to conceive of the practice. Constructs- This is a catchall term for any artificially animated being. They can be either magitech robots to something akin to golems being animated by either the soul of something or spirit bound to it. Dogs-. They are also found everywhere and working for everyone. In this world all dogs are sapient creatures capable of speech. However physically they resemble any mundane dog breed. They are also capable of employing weapons and tools despite lacking the grasping digits for it. They’re renowned for having a fair amount of famous warrior, and thieves. There are rumors that somewhere hidden in the world is a secret training village where the finest warriors are trained in the way of fighting and being sneaky. As noted before, they can be found in the employ at various locations and amongst the other people. The origin of why they're so widespread as freelancers/mercenaries is something of a mystery. What is known is that they got fairly organized groups with networks. There's a bunch of them working with the adventurer's guild in various capacities be it from a warrior, to scholar, to cooks/ etc. Along with humans, they're pretty diverse in where they can be found and what they're doing.
