Appearances, Lore & Cultures of the Races

This is a first take on a more detialed explanation of each races physical traits & how they function as a society.

Half-Dryads:

When a sapling asorbs part of a treants soul it comes to life. At first a spindly creature made of all wood, over the next 17 years a humanoid form will grow. By the time the sapling reaches adult hood they will look vaguely human, with bark covering varing amounts of skin, leaf, twigs and vines will grow intertwind with hair.

Culture

Their culture is a bastardization of Japanese culture and Vitorian era thinking. Because the birth of Half-Dryads is due to the death of a treant, all Half-Dryads were adopted in a sense and raised by other older Half-Dryads who they had no real relation to.

Oak Subrace

The Oaks tend to have different shades of green or brown hair, skin and eyes. The bark of the Oak can be brown, white & darker shades of red. Oaks are generally 6-7 feet tall.

Maple Subrace

Maples can have red or even purple hues to their hair, skin and eyes. Their bark is always a dull brown color. The Maples are slightly shorter at 5-6 feet tall,

Small Folk:

A race of small furry beast (bear/monkey/wolf) like people, each individual is a different mishmash of bestial features. Their size is small, The Small Folk average between 3-4 feet tall and weigh about 50 pounds.

Culture

Currently the different factions are in an armistice due to outsiders and their exploration. They're nomadic and native american like. Their tribes are not based on subraces they are intermingled and fight mostly over land disputes.

Waimaree Subrace

The Waimaree are known to be extremely lucky, normally used as scouts or guides by tribes, they are unfortunately hunted by dumber sentient creatures who think the Waimaree pelts or bones will bring them luck. They are easy to pick out as they tend to wear feathers in their fur or dye themselves strange colors. They do this because they believe it increases their luck.

Tokala Subrace

The cleverest of the Small Folk. With an aptitude and natural curiosity for poison making and traps, they fall into specific roles in their tribes For no particular reason it seeems Tokala are always born with white, grey or Black fur, sometimes solid colors other times mixed together but aways white, black or grey.

Kitchi Subrace

By far the bravest of the Small Folk they're more fierce and more intune with their beastial nature. With the ability to speak to beasts and a tendency to fight with their claws the Kitchi can easily keep the perimeter of the Small Folk's camps safe.

Minotaurs:

The Minotaurs are some of the greatest warriors who ever lived. Their strength and horns make them a fearsome challenge even when unarmed. Their hide is covered in a short light colored fur that is dyed or tattooed in some case shaved off and ritually scarred. Minotaurs average around 8 feet tall & weigh around 300 pounds.

Culture

An island folk, great sailors but they're ships arent fit for ocean travel. Very loosely based off the Polynesian islands. The region used to be a mountain chain until it split apart and crumbled into the water forming the islands, the minotaurs are one of the few races that survived the cataclysm.

Gozan:

Humanoid body structure with heavy ape features covered in hair that can be orange, white, black, brown, red or a mix of any and all. Both Subraces of the Gozaon have incredibly short life spans, do to their short life spans they are forced to mature early, most Gozan are mature by 6 years old. Both subraces range from 6-8ft tall the Ozaru how ever are much bigger in build compared to the slender Gozan.

Culture

The ape people of the jungle. A relaxed and relatively peaceful people, normally the Gozan will ignore a problem until they cant then they act swiftly. They follow one leader who can be challenged for his position or voted out. Think what if the Romans were lazy as shit thats the Gozan. Their well organized and inactive army structure leads to soldiers that are well trained and eager to fight when the occasion arises.

Ozaru Subrace

The Ozaru live until around 40 years old. The Ozaru are numerous compared to most other races. Due to this they heavily value trades and skills as a way of tracking lineage.

Koa Subrace

The Koa can live to be 50 years old. They also have habit of not taking things seriously enough this is in part because of the Gozan mindset of ignoring minor problems until they are large ones.

Toaden:

An odd toad like people, their small stature makes their large eye more noticeable in their slightly protruding fleshy alcoves. The Toaden's skin has a rubbery texture in the soft parts and an almost gravel like texture on the skin covering the Toaden's back and that back of it's forearms. Webbing connects the gaps between thier fingers it does the same with thier toes.

Culture

Normally in large unified groups who mainly have to deal with non-humanoid threats. They made contact with a random vessel many many years before the settings Age of Exploration and it left them with odd rituals and idols that they worship basically a cargo cult.

Kercoro Subrace

The Kercoro have solid vibrant colored skin and often have stripes, spots or markings of a different color going across their body.

Gosheden Subrace

The Gosheden's skin is much more plainly colored grays, greens & browns. They often have small horns on the top of their head.

Stone Men:

These serpentine/lizard looking people may appear to have scales but it is actually stones, seemingly pieced together to make an outer layer of skin. The Stone Men's stomach, chest and other "softer" parts of it's body feel like smooth stone. The Stone Men's skin is so thick and tough their chest doesn't move when they breathe & their hearts can't be felt when the beat but they can be heard. Their coloring ranges from shades of tan to greys and blacks. It's very rare but not unheard of for one of the Stone Men to be born with more unique colors. Their eyes and eye colors are reminiscent of gem stones.

Culture

Nothing yet but I'm open to suggestions.
