*the pictures provided are just samples. You are not limited to that particular character model. For example, you could have a tiger or a dog furry as a character*

Dwarves​

From the Kingdom of Onyx, Dwarves travel far and wide in search of treasures, caves, and adventure. Most travel in packs, and very rarely travel alone. Perhaps one of the strongest of the mortal races, Dwarves live a very long time (often near 300 years or more) and establish long-lasting friendships with whomever they meet. It is advised not to make fun of their height while in their presence.

The Dwarven Capital is called Khul-zanar, a city built deep into the mountains northeast of the Amethyst Kingdom, and is the home of their King, Khulzik Strongbeard. Khulzik is over 250 years old, but maintains the look of a young and strong dwarf. Khul-zanar is the home of 65% of the Dwarven population, the other 35% making their abode in either Belek-zanar or Kirun. King Khulzik has no spouse, something that troubles the Dwarven lords greatly. If he were to die, there would surely be fighting over whom would ascend to the throne.

The Dwarves pride themselves on their skill with stonework and mining, producing from the earth materials that are impossible to obtain anywhere else. They are able to harvest these materials and trade them off for other goods that they can't make themselves, such as rare and exotic foods and spices, etc. Dwarves have this uncanny love for tea, and some would be willing to pay quite a lot for a single cup. But perhaps even more of an oddity is their affection for woodwork items. While they are master stone crafters, the fine art of woodworking is something foreign to them, and they find these creations to be most amusing and precious.

In terms of their economy, the Dwarves exchange one item for another, or resort to using their storage of precious coins and gems. They hold no ties to any race but themselves, refusing to join in any alliances and demand only that everyone treat them on an equal level. There is no official religion for the Dwarves, either, but they are very respectful to those that do hold supernatural beliefs.

Typical Classes: Warriors, Hunters and Thieves (the amount of Dwarven scouts and thieves is very small, only a handful are able to master the art)

Orcs​

Originally from the Spinel Kingdom, the Orcs eventually moved out of their homeland and sought out new places to live. Their traveling packs often came into conflict with neighboring Kingdoms, but for the most part were harmless. Led by their Chief Shaman, the Orcs seek to establish themselves with the natural order of the world, but are known for their strong warriors. They have since returned to their birth place, and established the strong city of Graurkag to the far north of the continent. While it's gates are open to foreigners, very rarely do they receive guests.

Their Chief Shaman is named Viddak and is a very noble and compassionate leader, not caving in to greed or lust for power. Viddak has strong ties to the earth, and yet very few are willing to challenge him. Those that do end up bandaging their behind after he whoops their butt. Although Viddak would love to see peace settle over the lands, he knows that he needs strong warriors, and so he encourages them to practice and hone their skills to the finest point. Orc Warriors make some of the toughest fighters around, their hard skin providing a great defense in case their armor fails. When an Orc raises his battle standard, his wrath is terrible to behold.

Having very little to trade, the Orcs rely on providing for themselves, growing their own food and obtaining their own natural supplies and herbs. If they do trade they bring to the table weapons and armor, though compared to the dwarves it is usually not worth much. They have some coin, but not much. There is no established religion for the Orcs, but they understand that spirits inhabit the earth and they call out to them for aide in their troubled times.

Typical Classes: Warrior, Hunter, Shaman

Humans​

By far the most populous race in the world, Humans have established and divided themselves into two realms: The Emerald Realm and the Sunstone Realm. The Sunstone Realm is ruled by a King and Queen whereas the Emerald Realm is spearheaded by a single overlord, and have been at each others throats for some time. Humans are known for their youth and spirit, being perhaps the shortest lived race on the planet. They are skilled in most forms of combat, and some are even wise enough to study the mystical arts.

The Sunstone Humans make their formal abode in the capital city of Ladesa while a smaller portion take up residence in the neighboring city of Perth. Large white walls surround Ladesa, giving it a very mystical and grand appearance, the towers within housing one of the most noble of human families alive. Within its gates one can find themselves walking around for hours and still not see the end of the large city. Shops line nearly every corner of the walls while armed guards in shining armor walk back and forth on the street, maintaining order and discipline. King Lian and his wife Cassandra rest comfortably in the castle keep, their son and daughter often hosting special events in their honor. Intermingled with the humans one can often find an Elf or two, perhaps even one of the mystical Cat-people or a dwarf.

Perhaps what sets the Sunstone Realm apart from the others is its concept of a caste system. With the ruling family set aside, untouched for generations, the rest of the people fall into one of several categories: Dawn, Zenith, Twilight, Dusk, and the Night. The Dawn Caste, also known as The Children of Dawn, and is comprised of all the warriors and defenders in the realm. Knights, master smiths, armorers... anyone whose cause is the defense of their great nation is placed into this caste. The Zenith Caste is comprised of those who uphold the law of the city, settling basic disputes on civil matters. For the most part those in the Zenith caste are members of the clergy. The Twilight Caste is made up of scholars and teachers, those who are well versed in lore and the mystical arts. The Dusk Caste include all those travelers who tend to favor adventure and trade, using their skills as merchants to wield and deal, either increasing their personal profits or helping someone else out. The last caste, The Night Caste is made up of those individuals who run the show once the sun goes down. Assassins, policemen, bureaucrats and the like who make sure all is well within the city walls at night.

In terms of religion, there are quite a few prominent ones, though the most dominant (or popular) by far is that of the Unconquered Sun religion. Above all the worship of Light and its path is what its followers seek, using Truth, Justice, and Valor as their guiding stars so to speak. There is a strong focus on the individual and their relationship with those around them. As with nearly all religions, however, one is sure to find the zealotry and their strict rules and traditions, causing them to lose sight of what truly matters.

The Sunstone Kingdom trades extensively with the High Elves and the Dwarves, offering raw materials and agricultural goods in exchange for finer materials such as weapons, armor, building materials, etc. There is a current trade embargo on all goods with the Emerald Realm to the north, and as such the Emerald Realm has restricted trade with Sunstone in return.

Typical Classes: Warriors, Scouts, Thieves, Magic-Users

The Emerald Realm lies just north/northeast of the Sunstone Kingdom, with its main capital being Maevrin. It is there that King Faryn makes his abode, deep within his castle. The large city of Rome lies northeast of the capital, and generates more trade and revenue than any of the other cities in the Emerald Realm. It is there that ships depart and arrive daily, bringing in fresh exports from the Dwarven lands and/or sending off their own resources. Athelm lies north of Maevrin, but as of late seems to desire moving away from its ties to their King and wants to become an independent nation. It currently lacks the economic and military strength to successfully revolt against Faryn.

Crime and poverty seem to be a source of problems within the Realm, though there is a great deal of military oppression that stem any possible rebellions. There is no extensive 'caste' system but the people are divided into two groups: those that have power and those that don't. The only way to move from one group to another is to seize control for yourself.

Typical Classes: Warriors, Scouts, Thieves, Mercenaries, Magic-Users*

*Very few families from the Emerald Realm have the ability to use magic. Those that can tend to hide their abilities or use them secretly to better their position in life.

Furries​

From the Ruby Kingdom. Furries are one of the newest races to emerge in the world. No one is sure how they came about, but they have established themselves in small pockets around the world. While rivaling the Humans and Elves in terms of strength, they are nonetheless weaker than the Dwarves or Orcs, though more agile.

Their capital, Ruby City, is home to roughly half the furry population, but is made up a variety of different subspecies, most notably Dogs, Wolves, Rabbits, Foxes, and Cats. Talon Point is the home to mostly Wolves and Cats (including Black Leopards and Snow Leopards). Cliffport City, which is on the eastern section of the continent, is home to a large majority of Rabbits and Foxes. Goldentail Haven is home to a large population of Dog Furries, though there are other species intermingled here and there. Instead of being ruled by a King or Queen, the Furries are instead governed by a 5 person council, the members of which have lifelong membership and can step down at any point if they wish to. This council makes it home in Ruby City, and governs accordingly.

Their economy is based on Gold and Silver, though they tend to give and take freely from one another. There is no organized religion in the Ruby Kingdom, though certain species tend to acknowledge some other worldly forces that run the planet.

Typical Classes: Warriors, Hunters, Magic-Users, Scouts

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r108/elvenchild03/A New World/FurryFemale.jpg

Neko's (catgirl/catboy)​

From the Opal Kingdom, Neko's do tend to intermingle with the humans, finding them the closest in origin and appearance to their race. Much like the Furries, no one is sure how they came about, but they have proved themselves strong and capable of handling anything that comes their way, and as such have earned their place in the world. Neko's are quick and agile, though not terribly strong. Alongside the Dwarves, the Neko's are not able to wield magic.

The capital of Opal Kingdom is Simoa. While not as large as most human cities, Simoa is still somewhat sizeable, holding at least half of the Neko population. Their King Felix rules alongside his wife Celia, though many consider the true power to be in the hands of the select few nobles that govern the countryside. The Neko's have a very friendly relationship with the humans of Sunstone, and as such find themselves at odds with those from the Emerald Kingdom.

Typical Classes: Warriors, Scouts, Thieves

[TearsoftheWorld]

*So apparently one can have too many images in a post. That being said here are the other races*

High Elves​

From the Kingdom of Amethyst, High Elves are perhaps the second most populous race on the planet, only outnumbered by the short-lived Humans. High Elves enjoy life as it comes, taking it slowly and not desiring or liking any rapid change. High Elves are distinguished from the other Elves by their fair complexions and golden hair. They are generally tall and strong, but also very agile, and extremely intelligent, producing some of the finest scholars and craftsmen the world has ever seen.

The High Elves are ruled by King Larean and Queen Eldraia, who live in their castle in the city of Adaleir. Tall and strong is that city, set on a large plateau in the middle of a large green valley. The King and Queen have three children: Amalyn their eldest daughter, Adunen their youngest son, and Nesea their youngest daughter. Adaleir comprises of nearly 75% of the High Elven population, the rest dispersed over the continent, but a small majority take up their abode in Arroas which lies on the opposite side of the Dwarven capital, east of the mountains and north of Efenrian.

High Elves pride themselves in their skill in jewel crafting and fine carving. Their weapon and armor smiths have made some of the finest ware known to existence, though as the High Elves are a fairly peaceful race their suits tend to collect dust over the years. With extensive trade between the Dwarves, Sea Elves, and Sunstone Humans, the High Elves keep up with the news of the world and have only recently learned of the Furries to the northwest. The only races the High Elves have given their distaste to are the Emerald Realm humans and the Dark Elves.

*more to come*

Typical Classes: Warriors, Magic-users, Clerics, Scouts

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r108/elvenchild03/A New World/HighElfFemale.jpg

Wood Elves​

Have no city to call their own. As such, Wood Elves can be found in nearly all parts of the world that have some sort of forest or woodland area. Unlike the High Elves these Elves have dark to light brown hair, and are skilled in hunting, tracking, and riding. By far the most common Elves around.

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r108/elvenchild03/A New World/WoodElfFemale.jpg

Dark Elves​

Little is known about these Elves. They have a darker complexions compared to the other Elves, and are extremely fierce in combat, wielding to terrible use both the sword and axe, a skill they learned in their dealings with the dwarves. Preferring to be left alone, one rarely sees a Dark Elf outside of his home. Most Dark Elves make their abode in the mountains or in very dense forests.

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r108/elvenchild03/A New World/DarkElfFemale.jpg

Sea Elves​

From the Sapphire Kingdom, these Sea Elves have the most dealings with the other races, offering to them the use of their large ships for traveling over water. Their hair is usually a form of grey or white, and their eyes sparkle like the water itself. Not particularly strong, the Sea Elves usually rely on others to protect them and their coastal cities.

[redbeejer]

Name: Thomas
Age: Not exactly known, mid 20s if human.
Race: Assumed to be human, rumored to be Elven.
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 150 lbs
Hair: Crimson Red
Eyes:Icy Blue

http://img152.imagevenue.com/loc1144/th_03657_art5_122_1144lo.jpg http://img173.imagevenue.com/loc832/th_03661_art-017_122_832lo.jpghttp://xthomasdasealx.googlepages.com/untitled11.JPG/untitled11-full.jpg

(1st pic is Thomas in armor, the others are him in casual clothes.)

Skills: Wilderness survival, tracking, hand to hand combat, sword fighting, halberd fighting, horse riding, insurgency experience, limited earth magic.

Bio: If you know Thomas, there is a very good chance you wish you never met him. Most people know of the redhead, but not many people could call him an acquaintance and very few people will admit that he is a "friend" of his. If there was ever a classic definition of a mercenary, Thomas fits the bill. He works for money and only asks enough questions to get things done. There's no one outpost he calls home nor does he keep a residence that anyone is aware of. Instead, he floats from outpost to outpost along the forests and the mountains picking up jobs as they present themselves.

He usually has more than enough money for a room and a woman at an inn, despite the fact he doesn't publicly take to many jobs. This begs the question what he actually does. Rumor has it he is on the short list of people Kings or other Warlords hire in order to get things done. Although it can't be confirmed, he's been seen in the area of several high profile robberies as well random attacks along the borders of several kingdoms. No evidence has been found to connect him nor have any witnesses come forward to identify him yet, but he remains under heavy suspicion. While difficult for some members of his profession, he seems to have little problem crossing through kingdoms, making any attempt to capture or track him difficult at best.

Lately Thomas hadn't been seen or reported in any one specific area. Weeks ago he had been seen just once along the border of the Emerald Realm and Sunstone Realm days before cross border raid nearly led to war between the two kingdoms. A few said he was heading towards the Ruby Kingdom, but there were also some some who said he was slipping back towards the Amethyst Kingdom for some reason.

*repost of my bio*

Name: Amalyn
Age: 413
Race: High Elf
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 116 lbs.
Hair: Golden yellow
Eyes: Dark Blue

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r108/elvenchild03/SRP%20Characters/akamaru07.jpg

Skills: Hand-to-hand combat, Sword fighting, Archery, Horse Riding, herbal remedies

Bio: Amalyn is the Princess of Adaleir in the High Elven nation of Amethyst. Born over 400 years ago, she was raised by her father and mother to be a noble woman, caring and devoted to her people. While learning the finer arts of being a princess, Amalyn also practiced the art of combat, becoming well skilled with the bow and the sword. With the recent peacefulness that has settled over their neighboring lands she has not been forced to defend herself and finds little reason to carry any sort of weapon on her.

Recently Amalyn has taken a liking in horse riding, and she can be found riding one out into the country side nearly every day, going farther and longer than her instructors wish her to. She often makes her way to the boundaries of their kingdom, but she has yet to venture beyond them. In fact, the furthest she has ventured would be near the Misty Mirror Lake, just south of the Dwarven Mountains. The peacefulness of their woods provides a sort of blanket of safety and repose, but the outside world is just waiting for her to come out.

 

[ositoandtigresa]

hey im interested in playing a dark elf.... i'll post bio as soon as i can

[dkitty]

I'd like to play a dark elf female. But one that has a thing for dwarven men. So some one make one and lets see what happens.

 

[HalfCircleMoon]

I'd lke to play the part of a Dwarven Man. i like your idea

i'll post a bio up soon!

 

[HalfCircleMoon]

Name: Marke D'llbrahn
Age: 126
Height: 5' 0"
Weight: 240
Eyes: Dark Green
Hair: Long flowing white hair

skills: metallurgy, two-handed weapons, nature

Bio:
Marke was born the son of one of the tribal cheifs. Growing up, he showed a strong allignment with the forest in which they lived. The animals, the trees, the surroundings, were all very familiar to him, an unusual trait in a dwarf. But a useful one, allowing him to move almost unseen through their territory.

His village was destroyed by an unkwon enemy during one of these reconisance missions, as he returned to burned houses and corpses. With a heavy heart, he spent the next 2 days burrying every one in the village, making them a dignified grave for their memory. He swore a blood oath, that he would avenge them all. Alone, with nowhere to run, he began a life as a mercenary. taking odd jobs here and there to survive, while constantly trying to find more information about the foes that murdered his people, so that he may seek revenge.

 

[dkitty]

I didn’t know if or how magic and the deities work in this world so I came up with something familiar. If our hostess doesn’t like, let me know and I’ll change it.

Name: Phae Talla
Race: Darkelf
Age: 112
Height: 5' 2"
Eyes: red
Hair: Long flowing white hair down to her butt.

She is sweet and nice to those who are the same. but her anger shows to those who hurt others for fun or money. She is rather lovely and a bit shy.
Breast size 36 B and proud of it.

Skills: Holy magic, thievery, long sword & mace, undead, dancer

Phae had a weird life. She was taught the art of thievery by an expert human thief. But she had more of a noble way about giving to those in need so she was never allowed into any guilds. So she hooked up with a group setting out for adventure. The only friend she had with them was a dwarven male. They were inseparable. But their friendship ended when the group slipped into an old crypt looking for treasure. But the undead creatures inside had other ideas. She was the only one to survive because her friend pushed her out the crypt door and closed it behind her.

The she swore to avenge her friend and found a priestess of a moon goddess to teach her about undead. In the process she learned to dance and holy magic. So now she uses her knowledge of the holy magic to fight undead, her thieving ability to help fight the wicked, and her dancing to help pay her way from place to place. Life can be weird at times.

 

[TearsoftheWorld]

Which race does Phae belong to?

 

[TearsoftheWorld]

As for the question on magic, here's what I had in mind
---

The 'magical arts' are a very real and influential part of the world. The main known schools are Holy, Shadow, Ice and Water, Fire and Earth.

Holy includes the ability to repel the Undead, heal the wounded, to call light into dark places, etc.

Shadow is pretty much the opposite of Holy. Those that practice the darker arts are able to bring darkness to those places with light, inflict pain and suffering, etc.

Ice and Water include those abilities that deal with any/all forms of water. One can conjur up frost spells, ice shards, freezing winds, etc.

Fire is the opposite of water, and depending on the strength of the user can possible override it. The user is able to conjur strong flames or quench them.

Earth includes those spells linked in some form to nature. The user can create vines from the ground to trap an enemy, call up large blocks of stone for protection or destroy them.


The only races that are incapable of using magic include: Neko's and Dwarves. Elves are the most adapt at using magic, as nearly each one has the innate ability to use them. Only a select number of Humans can tap into the magical arts, but those that do are among some of the strongest Witches and Wizards alive. Orcs tend to favor more natural magics (Earth, Fire, etc) and generally shun the dark and holy arts. Furries have shown that they are able to wield magic, usually some form of Holy or Earth spells
===

If I think of anything else I may add them to the list later. Obviously the descriptions above aren't all-encompassing so if you have a suggestion lemme know.

Awesome =)

 

[TearsoftheWorld]

I'll try and get a fairly detailed map done of the world, including the locations of each kingdom and/or realm.

 

[TearsoftheWorld]

While not completely drawn out, here's a basic layout of where the kingdoms are in relation to each other. The map does not include settlements outside the kingdoms (such as Dwarven villages that might be near a Human city.

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r108/elvenchild03/Delmara_by_reiq.jpg

Name: Delmara
Age: 27
Race: Human
Height: 5'6"
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown

Skills: Small daggers, staves, Ice and Water spells

Bio: Delmara was born into a family that prides itself on its ability to use magic. It was no surprise, then, that at the age of 5 she was able to conjure her first spell. By the age of 10 she was enrolled in a private and very prestigious school for growing Witches and Wizards, taught by the brightest minds of the age. Over the years she grew up to become a very beautiful woman, strong willed and exceptionally smart.

Delmara is currently heading towards Ruby City, acting as the human ambassador of the Sunstone Kingdom. She immediately jumped at the chance to visit a distant land, and she was stunned at what she saw when she arrived on the shores of the Ruby Kingdom. Creatures just like domestic and wild animals... standing on feet with human-like features and capable of speech.

 

[Wyldfire]

If you mean a map then yes, there's a rough version posted above with the location of the realms. I'm currently working on a more detailed version with land features (such as mountains, forests, etc).

Actually what I meant by world view is social structures, racial views of the other races, and economic state.

I was thinking of running a Bounty Hunter myself.
