[QUOTE="Agback, post: 2875790, member: 5328"] In mine most NPCs and PCs are human, and most of them are of what you might call an Indo-Malay racial type, though there are neighbouring countries with racial types more like Polynesians, Singhalese, and even Europeans. Then there are divers, or merfolk: a race of more Polynesian appearance, who are capable of breathing either air or water with a bit of time to adapt, and who have a few adapatations to low-light conditions. Then there are occasional leshy, who are taller, stronger, and generally more gifted than humans, and who are unaging past maturity. Their hair is generally black, their skin colour varies with exposure to sunlight from dead white to jet black, and they tend to blue, violet, green, or yellow eyes. Half-leshy are more common PCs than full leshy, because the leshy racial package is rather expensive. And there are flyers, who are smallish people with large wings, able to soar and (with great effort) to fly. But for some reason they have never been popular as PCs. Also sprites (humans about half a metre (20") tall. And winged spites. Giants (humans about five metres tall). Were-wolves (a race, not sufferers from a contagion). Were-leopards (based on those in the movie [i]Cat People[/i], ie. they are born human, change to leopard when they have sex, change back to human when they kill, and have animal intelligence in their cat form). And finally [i]gathin[/i], who are born of gathin fathers and human mothers, apparently as girls. They change sex (female to male, male to female) when they have sex. Children they beget are gathin. I introduced gathin as a kind of monster, and was rather surprised when they turned out to be in demand as a PC race. [/QUOTE]
