Human

The most well rounded of the races. Humans are the baseline of metahumanity, perfectly average - and capable of excelling in any discipline.

​

Elf

Elves are more agile and tend to be more classically charismatic than humans. They also have low-light vision, which enables them to see clearly in near-total darkness.

​

Metavariants:

Dalakiton are a white skinned blond or white haired Filipino elf variant with no philtrum (the divot in the middle of the upper lip). Males are called Enkanto while females are called Enkantada. Many have a mild allergy to spices.

​

The Night Ones are a variant of Elves (Homo sapiens nobilis), with a natural coat of short fur on their entire body. The fur color varies from black to orange. Most night ones have dark skin in black, blue purple and brown tones. All Night Ones have a light allergy against sunlight. The resulting mainly nocturnal lifestyle combined with the usually dark skin/fur color leads to Night Ones being called "Dark Elves" in many places (other nicknames include "Furries" and "Plushies"). Night Ones are naturally found in Europe and the Tir Nations. They are faster and more agile than normal Elves.

​

Wakyambis are an Elven variation, local to Africa. They are larger than Elves and can become larger than Trolls. Their skin color is dark-brown by their African origin to black. Legends states that the Wakyambi are descendants of the sky people, who exist in the myths of some African cultures. Therefore Wakyambis enjoy in their homeland a good reputation and many privileges.

​

Dwarf

Dwarfs are hardier, stronger and more willful — i.e., stubborn — than humans. They also have thermographic vision, which allows them to see radiated infrared (heat) energy simultaneously with the normal light spectrum. They move more slowly than the other races, but they are also more resistant to disease. And yes, they are short.

​

Metavariants:

The querx is a dwarven metavariant native to the Erzgebirge mountains in the south of the German state Saxony. One main difference separates querxes from ordinary dwarves: Their skin color is blue.

​

Menehune are native to Hawaiʻi and are smaller and more strongly built than average dwarves. They have very strong body hair.

​

Korobokuru are a Japanese dwarfen metavariant, that are smaller and less hairy than usual dwarves (1,10 m average height and an average weight of little more than 40 kg). More than 85% of all Japanese dwarves are Korobokuru. Like all Metahumans from Japan they suffer from an unjustified bad reputation. They can move somewhat faster than usual dwarves.

​

Ork

Strong and tough; second only to the trolls in this regard, the orcs still remain reasonably well rounded in other capabilities. Orks are much tougher, stronger and less charismatic; they also seem on average to be less acute, or intelligent, than humans. They too have low-light vision.

​

Metavariants:

Onis are a metavariant of Orks. Oni are the native Ork metavariant of Japan and resemble the demonic appearance of Japanese folklore. They have red, blue, or orange skin hue, large curving horns, and bulging eyes.

​

Hobgoblins are a metavariant of Orks. Most hobgoblins are of Arabic or Central Asian descent. They are shorter and of slighter build than other Orks. They tend to have a greenish tint of skin, sharper teeth, pointed chins, and dark eyes. 

​

Ogres are a metavariant of Orks. They are shorter and squatter than most orks, often possessing larger obese phenotypes. This is possibly due to an efficient digestive system. They also possess stockier jaws and larger mouths than typical orks. Ogres originated in Germany and France, but are prevalent throughout Europe, composing approximately thirty percent of the European Ork population.

​

Troll

Capable of strength and toughness that exceeds all others. However, they are limited by the fact that their charisma and intelligence will always be sub-par. Trolls are big and nasty. They are a lot tougher, slower, stronger, less charismatic, less acute and less willful than humans. They have thermographic vision, long arms that give them an advantage in hand-to-hand combat, and extremely tough skin with bony deposits that makes them more resistant to damage.

​

Metavariants:

Fomori (singular "fomor") are an Irish Celtic subspecies of the troll. They are a little weaker than normal trolls and have no dermal armor. Like many celts they have a higher number of magicians in their ranks. Their form is considered by many to be more aesthetically pleasing than common trolls and orks.

​

Giants are a Nordic metavariant of the troll metatypus. They are usually somewhat stronger, and with an average body size of 350 cm, larger than standard trolls. Their hair and skin color are usually fairer than those of most metahumans. They usually have no horns or tusks and a long pointed nose.
