Humanoid Species
This is a list of the current species in the server for use and their respective information. This information is just guide-lines, there’s few set in stone things regarding the species. Just because elves tend to be tall and slender, doesn’t mean you aren’t permitted to make a short and curvy elf. There’s always differences, these are just the stereotypes for each species. You're more than welcome to be creative!! Show me those juicy characters!!
Interspecies children have become more popular in recent generations. In the beginning of intermingling of species, interspecies children were taboo, thinking it would bring bad luck on future generations. Interspecies children are more common in the current generation, though it’s hard to tell the difference in most situations. Interspecies children take over most of the primary traits from one parent instead of the other. If a dwarf and a faerie have a child together, the child will either resemble a dwarf or a faerie. An interspecies child could not have both traits of the species, meaning they couldn’t have wings and the fire resistance of a dwarf. Of course, an interspecies child could have faerie wings while having the stature of a dwarf. Most interspecies children struggle with infertility.
Humans
Average Lifespan: 80 Years
Humans range in body shape, height, and weight. The average size for adult women world wide is 5’3, the average for adult men is around 5’6. This is only an average with humans, with heights being recorded up to the 7 ft range. Their skin tones remain to be more earthy tones, from as pale to snow to as dark as onyx. Eye colors are more selective unless a condition like albinism comes into play. Eye colors usually range from shades of green, blue, brown, and more rarely grey, amber, and purple. Human beings are considered the “default” option, with two arms, and two legs. No extra extremities are noted. Strengths: Humans are considered the most adaptable of all the species. They tend to be the average in every position across the board- different from other species who tend to have specific weaknesses. Humans do better in groups.
Elves

Elves are considered to be one of the most beautiful of the races, only threatened by the Faerie. Elves tend to be slender, airy humanoids. They tend to have more human proportions, though leaning on the taller-side. The elves' average height stands around 5’10”. They have elegant features, typically finding work as models or in front facing work. Elves tend to lean towards more natural colors, greens, browns, and dark colors like obsidian. Elves eye colors range from all variations of the rainbow, though as previously mentioned, tend to stay towards natural, bright colors. Strengths: Elves tend to have a good sense of magic, their abilities coming to them much easier than other individuals. They tend to awaken their ability earlier than other individuals, typically around the age of 5. There’s a rumor that Elves tend to awaken with higher tiered abilities than any other species. There has never been a full study on this, as abilities aren’t as important in the modern world.
Dwarves
Average Lifespan: 150 Years
Dwarves are short and stocky humanoids. They tend to be riddled with muscle regardless of gender. Dwarves’ average height averages around 4’0. Some tend to be taller, some tend to be shorter. Dwarves colors vary, some skin tones resembling stones but others resembling the fleshy tones of humans. Dwarves tend to have sturdy skin, hands tending to be large. Most male dwarves tends to wear facial hair. Dwarves tend to have abnormal strength, leading to most of their work being in blue-collar fields. Strengths: Dwarves are born with a talent for finding and understanding minerals, metals, and toolwork. Their bodies are built to withstand high heats, sunburns are a foreign concept. Dwarves have almost as much strength as the giants, though they don’t have their burly size. Some dwarves are rumored to have the ability to ingrain mana into tools they’ve made.
Faerie
Average Lifespan: 125 Years
Faeries’ are almost as diverse as the beastfolk but their size is typically the same. Faeries are small yet capable, similar in size to the dwarves. The faerie’s average height is around 3’6, though they can be taller or shorter than this. Faeries’ appearance tends to revolve around nature, resembling specific plants and flowers. The faeries’ have pointed ears similar to elves, but their most defining feature tends to be their wings. Faeries have wings resembling insects such as butterfly wings or wasps. Though, without sufficient training, most Faeries’ are unable to use their wings to fly. Strengths: Faeries are extremely sensitive to mana. They’re able to detect mana, trace it, and sometimes- manipulate it. Faeries, with practice, can use their wings to fly short distances. Their bodies aren’t built for long-term distances. Faeries are great in areas with high mana-boosting their abilities.
Giants
Average Lifespan: 175 Years
Giants look similar to humans, though they have one major difference: size. Giants are known for their renown size and strength. The average size for a fully-grown adult Giant is approximately 9 ft. Though, Giants are commonly around 10 ft tall, with anyone below 8ft considered “dwarf” sized. Giants do have some similarity to Dwarves, with their skin colors able to resemble some stones. Giants are built of pure muscle, their bodies sturdier than that of Dwarves. Giants tend to wear their hair long, only cutting it when they lose their first battle. Though, that is old practice and some individuals have abandoned that culture. The most unique feature of the Giant is their eyes. The giant’s eyes resemble gemstones. Strengths: Giants are large and strong. Their skin is tough, thick, and hard to cut through. Giants also have stamina that rivals most creatures on the planet. Physicality is what Giants are the best at. They’re resilient to the cold, having come from the mountains a long time ago.
Beastfolk
Average Lifespan: 100 Years
Beastfolk is the most varied when it comes to its appearance- though that typically is because of how many variants beastfolk contain. This is not only due to the different animals beastfolk mimic, it also includes levels of beastification. Below this paragraph consists of a graph of levels of beastification. Beastfolk range from levels 3, 4, and 5. Levels 1 and 2 are speculation and no beastfolk of this level has ever been recorded. Beastfolk in the most simple terms, look similar to a half human-half animal hybrid- though their biology says differently. Beastfolk may have parents of different beast-type, but the child will resemble the one with the most dominant features. A cat and a rabbit subtypes may have a child together, but the child may resemble the bunny but with the cat’s pelts coloring. Type 5 has become the most common beastfolk beastification, resembling more so towards humans. It has helped with their integration into human society. Their beastification typically revolves around mammals, reptiles, aves. Strengths: Beastfolk tend to gain advantages from their beast mimicry though they all seem to have an innate talent for weapon handling. For examples of this, a rabbit beast-folk may have a lot of strength in their legs that make them jump much faster or a cat beastfolk may have immaculate night-vision. These bonuses do not typically affect their own magic.
