Races

What race you choose will determine a small number of factors for you. It determines your first bond and, by that, your character's starting color affinity. Each race also has access to a small number of Racial Talents, enough to constitute an entire level’s worth of XP in case you want the start of your journey to just be acting as an exemplar of your kind.

Human (any)
Humans are probably one of the most prevalent species in the multiverse. The only natural plane where humans are known not to exist at all is Lorwyn.

Though the way humans act in most planes covers a fairly broad range of behaviors, this range itself is roughly the same across most planes. The same is true regarding the physical traits that they have. But there may also be some planes where there are greater differences.

Loxodon (W)
Loxodon are a race of elephant humanoids. They are known as formidable warriors - they're tough as tanks, surprisingly quick on their feet, and tireless in battle. Loxodon's beliefs are straightforward, earnest and, above all, unswerving.

Merfolk (U)
Merfolk are aquatic humanoids with a fish-like lower body. From the waist up, they appear human relatively humanoid, while below the waist they have a single fish-like tail. Merfolk sometimes have other aquatic features on their upper body.

Vampire (B)
Vampires are a dangerous type of undead. Whilst humans are the most common victims of vampirism, it can infect other species as well, including hounds and even dragons. Throughout the multiverse, vampires can be created through other vampires transforming their victims, or through enchantment.

The most defining characteristic of vampires is their hunger for the blood or life-force of others, despite not having any blood of their own.

Goblin (R)
Goblins are creatures common to many fantasy settings. Most goblins are shorter than humans, with pointed ears and a nasty disposition. They are usually green or sometimes yellowish in color. They are usually not particularly civilized, forming themselves into tribes.

Elf (G)
Elves are humanoids with a light build, large eyes and pointed ears. They are very long-lived, handsome or beautiful, and usually favor bows and swords in combat. Elves frequently are adept at magic, or are associated with faeries.
