RACES

Below is an explanatory list of races you will come across. Every character, not including pets, is required to have a character sheet posted on the Character board.

If you're interested in creating a unique character, go ahead. If you'd like to add a new race to the list below, feel free to pm an admin.

Humanoid

• Elf
  Elves once had many different species, but, like fairies, they have faded to only one. They are much like humans, ranging greatly in appearance and height. They are the dominate species in Forinasi, ruling over the land. Their features are usually angular, and of course they have those pointed ears.
  
  
• Fairy
  The sort of fairies that you hear about in stories or read about in children's books are not the truth. There are not the small little creatures that most imagine. Sure, they can be shorter than the average human or elf, usually around 5-5.5 feet tall, but they are by no means tiny. Their wings can be any color, and they hair usually is the same as your average human, but there are exceptions. Fairies are creatures of the moon, and so are pale, and are said to have a starish glow.
  
  
• Shade
  Shades are a recently revealed race in Forinasi, though there is question to how long they've actually been in existence, for they seem to contain elf blood that has been tainted by a monster's. They are most commonly recognized by their extremely pale skin and glowing yellow eyes and dark hair-- usually obsidian or jet black. A Shade marked by its incredible quickness and keen mind.
  
  
• Wereperson
  Werepeople are a race that the world has dubbed "cursed monstrosities." They can take a human form, but not all their features are purely human. Werepeople have a tendency to possess longer nails like miniature claws, teeth that are a little more pointed like fangs, and eyes with constantly dilated pupils. They are known to have wild behaviors, but that is the stereotype. Werepeople can assume the form of a wild animal-- usually a wildcat, wild dog or raptor.
  
  
• Immortals - You must have 100 posts on another account to play one of these.
  They are merely an extremely rare subspecies of human, creatures that still exist due to their immortality. They can be killed by mortals, but they regenerate themselves, the killing wound healing but the nonlethal ones left to heal on their own. It is only see in three bloodlines: Caenust, Torvere and Essuin, and tends to skip many generations before appearing.
  
  
• Phoenix - You must have 100 posts on another account to play one of these.
  These are similar with Immortals in that they never leave the earth, but instead of regenerating and living forever, they are mortals caught in an endless cycle of birth and rebirth. Each reincarnation has a different appearance and personality, but retains some memories of his/her past lives.
  
  
• Lux Vampire
  You can thank Ohanzee for this one; my idea of him required the invention of a new creature. So here it is. The Lux Vampire is not your average vampire, hence the "Lux" part, which is latin for "light." So what does this mean? Well, it means that thanks to Elf blood back in the day, these vampires won't be killed by sunlight. Lux Vampires can also control their "shifts" from human to blood-sucker. When in vamp state, these guys have sharply pointed claws and fangs (from just one to up to three on each side of the upper jaw.) Often their eyes become more fluorescent, and their hair make get a bit spikier. Lux Vampires still need blood like regular vampires, and also may have bad tempers when in vamp form, if they haven't learned to control it. When Lux Vampires have had enough blood they can self heal, but if they've lost too much then they can't until they feed again.
  
  
• Myn
  The Myn are certainly an interesting creature to behold. Their figure is identical to a human's, but their composition is anything but. Their bodies are made of the natural elements of the earth, primarily the metals, stones, and jewels. Their every other aspect is like that of a human. When the Myn die, however, their remains are highly valued as they are oftentimes made of precious metals and gems. It can be extremely unlucky to dismantle one of their corpses, though, so beware.
  
  

Animal-Based

• Naga
  Nagas were introduced to Forinasi some 100 years ago. They came from a foreign land, but have adopted the Forinasian culture. Nagas have been feared for centuries because of what they are. Nagas are in fact half snake, half human. Their human half ends at the torso, and from there the snake tail takes over. Nagas also have potentially poisonous fangs, and are intelligent and amazingly quick. Their scales come in all colors and patterns, and their human half also ranges in coloration.
  
  
• Vietal Unicorn
  Formed from the unicorns of Forsten and Fornasi. Also, although the name does not let on, the Vietal Unicorn is also part Pegasus. The modern Vietals can have either a horn, wings, or both, though with any combination they are referred to as unicorns. They can be any color.
  
• Dragon
  The Dragons of Forste and Old Forinasi merged and interbred so often, that all distanct breeds disappeared. The current Dragons can have characteristics from any ancient breed, but can not be classified as new breeds. Dragons can look like basically anything.

AFFILIATIONS

One of these titles must be chosen.

Queen's Army
Just because you claim this title doesn't actually mean you have to be a soldier. Anyone who supports Queen Isandra is considered part of her "Army," though she encourages strong fighters to join up and become a soldier. Go see her at the Royal City to inquire about this.

Blood Members
If you claim this title, then you are a follower of Waefae the wizard's group, the Blood Revenge, and are considered an enemy of the Queen. More than likely, if you run into a member of her army, you're gonna get in trouble. Secrecy if often your best defense.

Grey Companion
If you claim this title, you are a member of the Grey Company, a rather reclusive group. Even most of the members aren't sure what their goal is, but it is considered the middle ground. Neither Waefae or the Queen like or hate them... openly, that is. Watch your back.

Refugee
If you claim this title, then you are either very unfortunate, or very lucky. You are one of the survivors of the old Sanguine Revenge, so watch your back! Any Blood Revenge member would be thrilled to take you out.

Rogue
If your character is independent and does not exist with any of the other categories, they can be considered a rogue.
