Races: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:54, 17 September 2017

Aloria is brimming with a plethora of races scattered all about the lands and seas alike. Alorian races are all incredibly diverse and individually unique, spanning from the prosperous Humans and their excellent ability to expand, the Maiar that rise to the surface or dwell deep beneath the water, and the Mekett, whose strong culture has only recently surfaced from the deepest pits underground. What makes a race different from any other beast is primarily its sentience; a race has the ability to think, communicate, and is able to be aware of itself, while a beast cannot always do that. Races are playable on MassiveCraft while beasts are typically not, and when referenced, race names are capitalized and beast names are left lowercase. For example, a troll is a beast, while an Orc is a race.

Interbreeding

While interbreeding between a number of races is very possible, there are plenty of specific intricacies that occur that must be noted before one creates a half-breed character. Refer to the chart linked below for all of the interbreeding rules.

-|text = One is likely to mistake an Ur for a bear standing upright, more so if seen through the falling snow on some frozen plain. Their ursine bodies are typically muscular and bulky, often with layers of insulation that keep them safe in climates that could kill a [[Human]] even when wrapped in furs. However, that same observer might also notice the totems and jewelry that speak of reverence for their ancestors and of the great spirit [[Svelarun]]. And while the incorporation of their belief system into everyday life has helped earn them a somewhat unfounded reputation as gentle giants, the Ur have been engaged in a religious and territorial, species-wide war with the [[Thylan]]. That conflict has shaped nearly all of Ur history over the past few centuries, driving them to form large tribal confederacies where they’d previously traveled nomadic routes alone or in small groups. Some have gone further, spreading out across Aloria in search of allies that may help turn the war in their favor. An Ur traveling as far as [[Regalia]] should always wear clothing, lest they actually be mistaken for a wild bear. And while capable of defending themselves, they should watch their backs—their furs are still worth quite a lot in Regalia.
+|text = The Url are a race of half-beast half-men that hail from Jorrhildr, though the truth behind their existence is far more disturbing. The Url were originally not the creatures that are known around the world, but a symbiotic worm and a non-Url host that fuse into what is commonly known as the Url nowadays. Once in symbiosis, the Url are strong and pensive, and possess an unquenchable hunger for the Beast Hunt: A search for large and dangerous game. The Url are stoic and reserved, rarely lording their physical prowess over other races, though quick to anger when disrespected and insulted in their great pride. As beast-men predators, the Url face a choice that no race ever has: Salvage their old lives, or abandoning them in favor of embracing the Horned Throng, the Url Hunter confederacy, living their lives as feared hunters.
