D-Kingdom RACES

PLAYABLE RACES

HUMAN
Humans are the most common race in Mirai. Little to say about them...Most of this people reading this are human. You know how we are. Nothing special.

However, it's thought by some that humans have a hidden potential yet to be seen...

DRAGONKIN
Dragonkin are the offspring of a Dragon and a Human. They are unusually tall, averaging 7 feet tall, and while looking mostly human, often have small deformities such as horns or scales on certain parts of their bodies.

Dragonkin that are raised in Human society are usually outcast because of their sometimes frightening appearance. When raised by a Dragon, Dragonkin are noble and proud.

Playing a Dragonkin will allow you to schoose 1 Aspect of the Dragon as a Racial Ability.

Aspects of the Dragon

Elemental Breath - A stream of fire, a bolt of lightning, a cloud of toxin, a gust of wind, or even life sapping darkness or evil scorching light. The Element of the Breath Weapon is whatever the character's affinity is.

Scale Skin - The character's skin has hard, armor-like dragon scales on their body. Dragon scales are hard than steel, so they defend great against most attacks. However, piercing weapons will have no problem stabbibg between the plates of scale.

Dragon Tail - Thick and strong, Dragon Tails are not prehensile, but can be used as weapon, however they are not very dexterous. In addition, spikes, or even a natural scale blade can be on the end of the tail.

Dragon Wings - These allow for flight. A Dragonkin can lift himself and one other person and still maintain flight.

CHIMERA
Chimeran's are the result of ancient Sorcerer's attempting to 'improve' humans by taking the best attributes of other species' and combining them with a human to make a superior being. This act has since been banned from the Kingdoms, but the resulting creatures remained and their bloodlines have carried on to this day.

The three most common types are Dog/Wolf Chimera, Cat Chimera, and Fox Chimera. There are other types, however they're a bit rarer than the already rare Chimera.

Dog/Wolf Chimera
These appear as normal humans, however their hair is naturally scruffier than normal, and their human ears are replaced with pointed wild dog or wolf ears. In addition, they have a dog or wolf-like tail as well, and their canines are longer than normal. These are generally the most feral of common Chimera, their animal instincts often leading their actions. Dog/Wolf Chimera have a natural aversion to Cat Chimera.

Racial Ability:
Improved Senses (Hearing, Scent) - Dog/Wolf Chimera can hear sounds much farther and clearer than humans, and can smell scents beyond a human's ability, and distinguish them quite accurately, even between different people. Unfortunately, this means that a particularly high sound or a strong enough scent can overwhelm the Chimera, and render them unable to move, put them into a panic, or even cause them to fall unconscious.

Cat Chimera
They appear as normal humans, however, they posess cat-like ears instead of their human ones. They have a thin cat tail, and slitted eyes, as well as long fang-like canines. Their finger and toe nails grow naturally into surprisingly hard points, making them both a back-up weapon and making it easier to climb certain surfaces. Most, but not all, Cat Chimera seek to live in the lap of luxury, as it were, and are very lazy. However, when backed into a corner, all Cat Chimera are surprisingly fierce fighters.

They have a natural aversion to both Dog/Wolf Chimera and water. As such, a Water Affinity Cat Chimera is very rare.

Racial Ability:
Prehensile Tail - A Cat Chimera's tail can be used as an additional limb, tho' not very strong. It can wield at best a small weapon such as a dagger, although without much force.
Feline Stealth - A Cat Chimera's steps and movements are naturally light and quick, making it very easy for Cat Chimera's to move and hide silently.

Fox Chimera
Fox Chimera, like Cat and Dog/Wolf, are very human in appearance. They have naturally straight, sleek hair, and possess pointed fox-like ears instead of human ones, and a bushy fox-like tail. Their movements are fluid and almost hypnotic, and they're generally more refined than Cat or Dog/Wolf Chimera.

Racial Ability:
Agile Fox - Fox Chimera can contort their bodies with ease, speed, and agility. They are naturally more agile than most.

NONPLAYABLE RACES

ELF
Elves come from a world beyond Midgard, called Alfheim. They are very rare, and little is known of them. They are, however, immortal and their age benefits them with wells of knowledge. They refuse to directly influence mankind, but it is said that they are willing to share their wisdom for whoever would seek them out.

The most famous of elves are the three sisters Wyrd, Verdandi, and Skuld. They call themselves the Norns, and they look after the Well of Urd, a well who's water is said to reflect the entire lifespan of whoever gazes into it.

DRAGON
The Dragon's of Midgard are ancient and powerful, each living in seclusion from the others. Dragon's spend most of their time in their lairs, however sometimes it fancies them to go amongst the humans. When this desire overtakes them, they are able to take a human form for as long as they wish. This is how Dragonkin are born.

You thought people had sex with dragons, didn't you? You sick bastard.
