Just throwing this out there, but at the moment since this is a small group, you should offer things like "perks," for certain races. Cause I mean in all honesty a human vs. a dragon...Is typically a one sided fist fight. I got few idea's, just yu know ask. Or shoot this idea down from the get go, Don't let it linger in the "Up for discussion" mode. |

Perks seem like they'd be a decent enough idea if implemented correctly. Stuff like psychic abilities and the like? |

Split & Moved Agreed. I say we all come up with these perks and what not, maybe do something along the lines of 'Each race has two perks, and one disadvantage.' For example. Vampires - Fast, stealthy, but can't be in sunlight. |

Well, see there is a problem with that as well. A Vampire couldn't be in the sunlight as where a Human can. Or a Human couldn't lift a car like a Dragon. This Is what I got so far. Making this easy, anything with a (P) is a perk, and a (D) is a disadvantage. Human's: (P)Quick learner- They Grasp Subject Matter more easily then other races. (P)*Multi Talented*- Humans, are masters at gaining other "Racial" abilities. (This is up to you guys, but It would be like the first Talent, a.k.a the one with the * next to it, from another Race. But it goes along with Their Disadvantage.) (D)Pride/Fallible- Generally those who receive gifts early develop a pride that can be a little bit too much./They are easier to mislead, and easily pressured into trying to fit in. Dwarves: (P)*Stature*- It is hard, if not impossible to Knock a Dwarf prone. (P)Toughened through experience- Ever punched a 4 to 4'7" man, with muscles that could crush coals into diamonds...not a bright idea. Ok, that's an over exaggeration but it gets the points across, Dwarves can take more damage and dish it out in hand-to-hand. (D)Like the Stone- When bullied, a dwarf is taught young to not take crap, and when clan, or courage is brought into question, They're quick to defend it. Dragon's: (P)*Flight- Yeah, these thick scale covered wing are more then just for show. (Human's, CAN NOT FLY. They lack the wings to do so. Instead, if chosen a Human has a heightened Jumping ability, and they fall slower then normal.) (P)Breath Weapon- Every Dragon, ever born has been able to produce one. There are 5 types that can be produced, Fire, Ice, Lightening, Acid, Chlorine Gas. (Please Choose only one.) (D)Heads or Tails, you can't have both- Dragons, have the ability use a Human Illusion upon themselves. (They appear human until the Illusion is released). In this form, they loose the ability to Fly. As well, as only being able to produce their breath weapon's once before their illusion fades. *Vampire: (Human's, CAN NOT learn any of the Vampire Skills. However, Vampyrism can be bestowed upon them, by other vampires. In This case, Human's loose their normal Perks and Disadvantages, and instead Use the Vampire's) (P)Gifts of the Curse- Vampires are unnatural being's, as such they have a heighten sense of smell, hearing, sight, and reaction time. (This DOES NOT mean, that they can avoid everything) (P)As Cold and Swift as death itself- Vampires for all intensive purpose are cold to the touch. But with their curse come more benefits. The fastest human, cannot match their speed, and even the most skilled cat burglar can not match their ability of stealth. (D)My Thirst is Never ending- Vampires, are constantly at war with the control of their most basic survival instinct, The need to Feed. And it is this fact that separate's them from mere flesh eaters. (D)Sunlight Burns Us- Like it suggests, Sun burn's away at the flesh of Vampires. (Its my suggestion that Vampires take night classes. or wear sunscren, and lots of it...But that's just mine.) That's what I've figured we could do, any changes then Suggest them. |

I'd say, for the sake of new players that may want another race, we include elves, gnomes, faeries, pixies, werewolves or anything else that can be thought of. Maybe different kinds of some races - Like Dark Elves, High Elves, Wood Elves.
I'm not quite certain what you meant there. Not seeing how that could even come up as a possibility, the human part. |

Lol, I meant "Couldn't." I was gonna make, those at a later time. But I was already thinking about those as well. Just give me a bit of time. Just at the moment, lets not go adding too many races. Gonna work on Elves, Changling's, Urataha(General term the race of Werewolves, Lycans, and Wolf Changers) and Elemental's. |

Lycan Canus - more commonly known as the 'Werewolf,' Lycans are the stuff small children have nightmares of when the subject is wolves. (P) - Bestial Strength - A Lycan has the power of the wolf - which is considerably augmented by the nature of the beast and the often tough human form. When in human form, Lycans are generally tougher and stronger than humans of similar build, though this is not always the case. In their bestial form, however, they posses more might than the strongest naturally-occurring wolf or human combined, able to flip (but not heft nor throw) small cars and grasp fleeing humans of average size and weight with ease. (P) - Might of the Pack - As normal wolves, Lycans often group together. Where there is one, there are often many more, especially in large, social gatherings like campus parties or school dances. There is strength in numbers - the more, the merrier, right? - and as such, it is dangerous to confront a single Lycan without drawing the pack. (D) - Headstrong - Lycans have similar pride issues that humans do, and often moreso due to their amplified powers. This means that the entire pack is easy to goad into a trap, and there are very few patient werewolves alive - most are not chieftains, for the rest of the pack wanting action more than patience. - Notes: Werewolves are not indestructible. They will not survive many gunshots or stab wounds, but can merely cause more damage than the average Joe. Are they tougher? Certainly! They just aren't ridiculously so. Werewolves can shift between human and wolf form at will. This change takes but a few seconds and affects all parts of the body - you cannot transform your hands to paws and leave the rest human, and vice versa. The full moon holds sway over a werewolf's transformation. Any given werewolf MUST transform within an hour of bearing witness to the full moon. The transformation lasts until sunrise and cannot be counteracted, but the werewolf can be caged to prevent mindless slaughter, though this generally isn't an issue, but a rare occurrence. I would have put that as a disadvantage, but I felt it didn't qualify enough. Look it over and tell me what you think. |
