[QUOTE="Psion, post: 1846271, member: 172"] For my Trinalia game, I worked up charts of complexions, hair, and eye color. The hair and eye color rolls were modified by the complexion rolls. [list][*]Avelan: Moderate complexion, hairs include browns, reds, few blondes. Marked by more rounded or button noses. [*]Aborian: light tan to cocoa complexion (south islanders tend to have darker complexions), but wide range of hair and eye colors. Little red hair, but occasional blonds with blue or green eyes (but almost unknown among darker complexion/south islanders). More gentle, rounded features than Kennans, more rounded noses than Turanians.) [*]Turanian: Light complexions except among more primitive tribes, which are tanned and or freckled, but never as dark as Kennans. Straight, narrow noses, higher proportion of blondes than any other ethnicity. [*]Neo-Turanian - a mixture of Turanian and Aborian; some darker hair colors. [*]Kennan: Cocoa complexion (similar to Aborians, but without the light hair/eyes, and marked by high cheeckbones and chiseled features.) [*]Stygian: Cocoa to dark brown complexion, typically brown eyes and brown to black hair. [/list] Most of these, in fact, draw from real world ethnicities. I deliberately sort of make Aborians known for having light hair/eyes with darker complexions (like polynesian with the occasional lighter hair that is sometimes seen in hispanics), but most of the rest are extrapolations of existing real world cultures (e.g., the Turanians are a Nordic style ethnicity with more exposure to warmer/sunnier conditions, Avelan are Irish, etc.) In my planar setting, I intend to mix it up a bit more with odd hair colors, skin colors, &cetera.
