Kendari

Humans infused with the ancient magic of 'corruption', they serve as the last of their species having gone nearly extinct. They used to exist on a place known as 'Corta Diez'.

Physical Description

Standing around 5'10'' tall; Kendari typically have dark hair colors such as black and brown, light to dark tan skin, and their eyes range in color between shades of red and blue (and rarely purple). Their culture previously espoused the importance of scars on one's body, believing it showed the individual's history and how much they've experienced.

Personality

Natural jingoists who believe in the rule of the strong, the Kendari are incredibly passionate for their society and country they're aligned with. They often train themselves for battle, their belief being that battle is what not only cultures an individual but also allows them to serve their lords on the frontlines. Kendari rarely form attachments to others who aren't fellow Kendari or other citizens of the country they live in.

Ifriti

Humanoids who come from the fiery pits of Shalhasa, Ifriti on Earth live close to areas such as volcanoes and in naturally hot areas like deserts.

Physical Description

Standing around 6' on average, these humanoids are covered in a strange harmless fire that sticks to their body, and are an obsidian black underneath their flames. Despite appearances, they're safe to touch but those who are unfamiliar with them are still unwilling to take the chance. Ifriti no hair and have two slow burning flames over their eyes and these flames are usually red, orange, or rarely blue. Muscles typically don't show on an Ifriti's physique, looking like jagged edges sticking out of their obsidian skin. In addition to this, wherever they step they leave behind a puff of smoke where their feet touched.

Personality

Mild tempered and patient, Ifriti are incredibly diligent and view life as a series of tasks to perform with each task bringing them closer to reaching happiness and fulfillment with starting a family and becoming a parent being seen as the highest form of honor among Ifriti society. Those who instead wish to remain by themselves often devote themselves to monastic orders or other dutiful traditions in order to hone their skills or learn new ones.

Fuyra

Isolated humanoids who live in swamps and jungles and possess traits of a crocodile and monkey.

Physical Description

Crocodilian faces are attached to this broad physique, their limber muscles disguising their deftness and penchant for acrobatics. They also possess webbed monkey feet and a prehensile tail, thus allowing them to grip with their feet and tail like that of a monkey. On average the Fuyra are 6'7'' and have pure black or gray eyes. Their scales range in colors from green, gray, tan, and black.

Personality

Despite being seen as primal and similar to lizardfolk and kobolds, the Fuyra are much more civilized individuals and have forged a society based entirely upon respect, especially respect of one's elders and betters. Their society also rewards ambition, and views betrayal and subterfuge as the worst sins one can commit. Fuyra dislike outsiders typically due to a belief that others don't care for respect and instead are too informal, however those who learn other cultures outside of their own grow to respect and appreciate the cultures of others, and learn to understand other humanoids better.

Darkstalker

Humanoids left in dark lands which are dominated by unholy or dark energy, twisting and warping their bodies.

Physical Description

Darkstalkers "stand" around 5' or so and are made up of a black mist guided by a dark orb in their chest-area that the mist orbits around, as well as a thin frame-like skeleton which the mist clings to. Darkstalkers have two 'eyes' which are a pure color and shines brightly in the darkness, causing unease in those who see them in the dark.

Personality

Alone and solemn, Darkstalkers prefer to keep to themselves and rarely speak. This silence is due in part to their desire to stay away from people, keeping those who would try to socialize with them just at arm's reach. Even when in their human-looking form they give off an air of being a void, a black hole of emotion which likes to keep to themselves.

Legion

Legions are humanoids who possess numerous souls inhabiting their one body, giving them a ghostly aura and inability to comprehend the concept of "self", due to their constant references to themselves as "we" or "our".

Physical Description

Legions appear as humans, their appearances are virtually identical. This makes distinguishing between them and humans difficult based on looks alone. However, their personalities and natures often give themselves away rather easily.

Personality

Due to their multiple selves, Legions are communal-focused and hate those who would dare shake the tenants of a community and its laws. Their hyper-devotion to the law and community leads them to extreme outlooks, their many souls following suit with this and voicing their support for whatever the other souls believe. This extreme view leads Legions to imposing their will onto others to ensure they're abiding by the law, and that anyone who so much as suggests that they'd rather fend for themselves than fight for their community is branded as a traitor and an enemy in the eyes of the Legion.

Postrati

The Postrati are a group of lithe and pallid humanoids, their long arms with veins visible and magic symbols adorning their chest, back, and forehead.

Physical Description

Tall and standing around 6' on average, the Postrati's skin is pale (sometimes completely white) and contrasting this light skin tone is their veins pulsing with magical energy that stretch all across their body. These natural magical veins look like tattoos, and glow whenever the Postrati is casting spells or doing magic of any kind. They typically have short hair which ranges from blonde to a fiery orange, and their eyes are often a similar color to their veins (blue, yellow, orange, red, or even black).

Personality

Naturally distrustful of others, the Postrati are traditionalists who are slow to adopt technology and see magic as the only way - the answer to all problems. This is partially where their name came from as ancient Postrati used to prostrate themselves before foreign mages who had introduced their magicks to the Postrati (who were at the time called Lyndrasi). Despite this introduction of new magic from outside sources, they soon learned the intent behind the foreign mages was to try to enslave the Postrati to be used for their rituals, eventually leading the Postrati to killing the mages who tried to enslave them, vowing never to submit to foreign adversaries again.

Timewalker

Bulky and powerful Arabic time-specialists whose ability to manipulate their own timeline allows them to attain agelessness. Their bodies posses numerous purple tattoos of time-controlling runes.

Physical Description

Standing around 6'8'' on average, the Timewalkers possess Arabic and Persian features including but not limited to tan skin and darker shades of hair. Their bodies however are covered in purple runes which naturally control their bodies' age by the time they reach adulthood, ensuring they never age past their prime.

Personality

Timewalkers are wise individuals due in part to their long lifespans, viewing knowledge as important and honing one's mind is just as important as the body. Despite their vast knowledge, they often have difficulty relating to individuals and talking with them, their focus on contemplation leaving them a bit detached from how people actually feel and act, their intuition on social interactions being a bit flawed (though not horrendous).

Uniquely however they have silver eyes which glow, and are incredibly hirsute lending to them having long hair, full beards, and plenty of body hair.

Personality

Jötunn are often solitary, preferring to dwell away from humans and other beings who may disturb them. Those who do disturb them find themselves on the other end of a spear or sword wielded by these massive warriors.

Physical Description

Tall and beautiful women who stand around 6'1'' and possess feathered wings like that of an angel, the Valkyrja have golden blonde hair and equally fierce golden eyes. Their movements are swift and graceful, leading to the image of a Valkyrja as a "golden blur" on the battlefield. Due to being chosen while still a mortal, they look just as they did before becoming Valkyrja save for the new hair and eye colors.

Personality

Their chief concerns however are that of battle, seeking soldiers who are dying or died in order to guide them to Valhalla if they were deemed worthy. Otherwise they carry out various tasks given to them by Óðinn, usually as a means to further the goals of honorable mortals, or to ensure instability is destroyed before it takes root.
