[QUOTE="mythusmage, post: 1868502, member: 571"] Glad you liked it. Since we're going into relationships et. al. Here are the basics of mine. The demi-humans are those species that belong to the genus Homo. They include: Homo sapiens: Descended from Homo erectus. Gracile, coming in a variety of shapes. (Humans) Homo neanderthaliensis: Descendent of Homo hedeilbergiensis. Robust, short in height and broad in build. (Almas) Homo montane: Descended from H. neanderthaliensis. Hyper-robust. Tall and very broad. (Ogres) Homo pugnalios: Descended from H. hedeilbergiensis. Gracile, of middlin height but stouter build than a human. (Orcs) Homo troglodytes: Descended from H. Sapiens. Probably the youngest of the humans. Very short, very stocky. (Dwarfs) Homo sylvenos: Another descendent of H. erectus. Gracile, almost hyer-gracile. Tend to be short and slender. (Elves) Homo dimenutos (our Homo floresiensis): Another descendent of H. erectus. Very short, slightly stout. (Gnomes) Halflings, goblins, kobolds, gnolls, flinds, hobgoblins, bugbears and the like belong to different genera than demi-humans do, and thus are known as humanoids. The human species are all rather human in appearance, with noticable differences when you know what to look for. The typical [b]Dragon Earth[/b] inhabitant can tell them apart, but a visitor from a different setting may have trouble. Confusing elves and orcs with humans is a sure way of uniting the two peoples against you. So, yes, I did vote "other" in the poll. ;) [/QUOTE]
