But if I did that I couldn't make them super long lived masculine beasts with radioactive blood, laser vision, and frost breath...Okay fine, I'll be boring and sensible.
Though not a race I'd personally play, Half Orcs are totally fine (as long as they aren't super long lived masculine beasts with radioactive blood, laser vision and frost breath ;P )

Okay, I will give this a try, I hope my race follows the rules. If it doesn't please tell me so I can change things around.Race name: SirensHistory: Centuries ago, these creatures roamed the seas and dark forests, luring men to their untimely deaths. They lived far from civilization, only showing their beautiful faces to those they are about to kill. Now however, they seem to have all but disappeared, with only a handful left.Strengths: Their singing voice is hard to resist, and so is their physical beauty. While not very skilled in combat, these women are well educated, and value arts above all others. Description:While the feathers are more colorful, they do have normal arms as well, and their faces are completely humanoid, this picture should give an idea: These creatures were said to be incredibly vain, with their places in the hiearchy being solely determined by their physical beauty, and the beauty of their singing voice. With their beautiful wings, they were sometimes mistaken to be angels, despite the colorful nature of their feathers. Under the light of the full moon their appearance changed drastically, their skins starting to rot, filled with crawling maggots. Their beautiful feathers would fall out too, leaving their wings bare and ominous. Strangely enough, those Sirens that looked the most beautiful normally are affected the worst by this apparent curse.Sirens are a completely female race, in general hating men to an almost unbelievable extend. A siren that fell in love with a man would be forever expelled from the sea, and might even be killed by their tribe. Children: It is very rare for a child to be born in a Siren community, but it does happen. While Sirens are perfectly capable of giving birth to a child of a man, following normal procedures and resulting in a beautiful human child, their prefered method of conceiving is laying an egg out of which a child will come. This child has no father, and is a 100% genetic copy of her mother.If more races will be decided on and one crosses their territory, I would love to have the races have some kind of history.
Looks okay, but you DO realize that the fact that they are effectively a race of clones (if they're 100% genetic copies of their mothers and they come from a common ancestor, they would all have the same genes) would mean that they would be physically identical and SUPER vulnerable to any sickness or disease that could infect them?
I'm still trying to decide on a race to play myself, strongly considering a female Centaur who specializes in frontline combat.
