Races
Humans: Basically what you would think a human would be. No more, no less. Humans live as long as they do on Earth - average lifespan is around 70.
Elves: Elegant folk with pointed ears. Elves are immortal when it comes to age and stop aging when they appear to be young adults-middle aged.
High elves: They tend to be lighter in skin tone and hair color than the other elven subtypes. They're also generally the tallest of the three, and are known to be well attuned to magic once they've found their Kulgenki.
Wood elves: Elves that generally love the forest and nature and prefer to live amongst it. They're a little shorter in stature compared to their elven cousins.
Dark elves/drow: Drow have darker skin tones than the other elven types. And tend to have an air of mystery about them. Ages ago, a drow would almost never be seen on the surface. Time has past since then and they feel quite at home on the surface just as any others. They have no sensitivity to light any longer because of this as well.
Dwarves: Stocky and short, yet quite strong. Males will pretty much always have a beard. Dwarves are best known for their craftsmanship. Like the drow, long ago they were said to live almost strictly underground. Nowadays, this very much isn't the case. A small few have even embraced the sea.. something that would never had happened in the past. Average lifespan of Dwarves is around 350.
Orcs: Strong and normally dark/greenish skinned folk who tend to have some violent tendencies. They often are seen to be less intelligent or more barbaric than other races. Orcs live about as long as humans do.
Goblins: Another small race. They can be rather resourceful, but many others look down at them, seeing them as easily manipulated and dim witted in general. Goblin lifespan usually reaches to around 60 years in age.
Vampires: Undead creatures of the night who live off of blood. They cannot live in sunlight (nor do they sparkle…). They are also highly sensitive to things considered 'holy'. Other races tend to be a little wary of them. Unable to produce offspring, but may turn other Humakins into a vampire if they so wish. Any other Humakin type with exception of lycanthrope may become a vampire. Vampires, like elves, are immortal. They stop aging at whatever age they became a Vampire.
Lycanthrope: A Humakin that is able to shift into some sort of animal. Most common is a wolf. Able to shift at will, however may go into a rage on nights of the full moon. Because of this, other Humakins will tend to be wary of them on such nights. All lycans are deathly allergic to silver. With exceptions to anthromorphic and vampires, all other races may become lycans. Lycanthropes have an extended lifespan from whatever their other race is. They generally live about twice as long.
Anthromorphic: Basically an animal with humanlike features. Variance of how humanlike they are differs. Taurs are a subcategory of these. The average lifespan of anthros vary greatly, depending on the subspecies. They either have the life span like a human's, or about twice as long.
Halfling: Small folk who tend to be nimble. These guys live to around 300 years in age.
Halfbreeds: Any mix of any previous mentioned race. Half elves and half orcs are the most common amongst these. You may not be half vampire or half lycanthrope. For those races, you either are or you aren't. The average lifespan of these folk depend on their lineage. It's generally somewhere between the two races they belong to. So a half elf-half human will live longer than a full blooded human, but they still age and will eventually die of old age.
Other races may be added. If you have a race idea, let me know.
