Here are my initial thoughts for playable races. Some are pretty standard for the fantasy setting, others are less common. As I was coming up with races, calling the Half- races 'kin' seemed to fit. Not sure if it will stick, but I kinda like it.
-Humans
Your standard, well-rounded race. Also the most populous.
-Elves
The ancient and graceful First Folk. I'd like to call them something else, possibly along the lines of 'Elder.'
-Dwarves
Always seeking to improve upon the feats of the past. Building higher, digging deeper, searching further. Also want to have another name for them, but the best I have is Hewn-folk.
-Halflings
Pastoral and good-natured, with a dash of mischief.
-Gnomes
Not too much thought here yet.
-Elderkin
Half-elf, Half-human. Not as long-lived as full-blooded elves, but more beautiful and graceful than Humans.
-Kingskin
The last descendants of the bloodlines of the Old Kings. Gifted with longer life, natural prowess in battle, and more charisma than most.
-Merkin
Their origins are mostly unknown to outsiders, they are the descendants of shipwrecked sailors and Merfolk. Gifted(or cursed) with water breathing; and enhanced agility, movement speed, senses while underwater.
-Steamkin
Steamkin are organic metal constructs originally created by Dwarves. They reproduce like other races, however, and are just as alive as the other races. They are visually a cross between Flamekin(MtG) and Necrons(WH40K).
Other races I'm either still working on, or not sure if I want them as playable-
-Minotaurs
-Some sort of cat-folk
-Merfolk
-Treefolk/dryads
-Otherkin - humans touched by the spirits/angels/demons
-Elementals
-Lizard-folk
Please share your thoughts!
I've always thought that a cool race that nobody ever has is a bird people/angel race. I don't know what to call them, but they have wings but have lost their ability as a species to fly. Instead they can jump higher and move faster with the consequence of having a weaker constitution (brittle bones). They have angular bird faces, but can be quite beautiful and some mistake them as deities and angels. They can have differently colored wings but white-black are traditional. They generally have trouble wearing heavy armor and prefer to attach material to their wings to parry attacks or create a special wing attack (go Pidgeot!!). As magic wielders they excel. They can heighten natural abilities (fly) and use powers of wind and lightning as a natural force. Anyway, I've always enjoyed the concept of winged people. And nobody be digging them... I don't know if this is a good idea, but it's what I thought up.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, they live in tree villages or high in the mountains.
