Message: <blockquote data-quote="Incenjucar" data-source="post: 1773931" data-attributes="member: 6182">I whole-heartedly agree to the point where I don't even use the basic Earth-style 'races', but make up my own.Platinum blonde, green-eyed, pale-skinned jungle-dwellers who vaguely resemble a tribal culture of Vegas (Ala Street Fighter)Brunette, brown-eyed, dusky-skinned sturdy folk (closest thing to English/Germans) who make up the psuedo-classical kingdoms, albeit with different government systems and building methods.Black-haired, blue or green-eyed (via ancestry with the jungle dwellers) mist-laden-plains dwellers with very pale skin with features somewhere between Asian and Gypsy, but with a cultural style that reminds of Frazetta (I based the idea off that old drawing of his with the woman and her panther, heh), as they mostly use long, thick scarves for clothing and ride large white tigers in to battle while swinging their halberds.The only somewhat RL-based racial group I have is the Savanah-dwellers, and that's mainly because the John Henry Irons look rocks, with a little bit of Queequeg thrown in.  I just really like the idea of a cavalry of dark-skinned, heavy-armored warriors with skulls painted on their faces dashing in to rip apart the zombie hoards with their swarm of hungry pet ravens to save the child that the nutty necromancer kidnapped.And, of course, you have a great deal of cultural differences within the groups, and between them (one of the main NPCs, for instance, is a mix of the black-haired and brunette peoples, giving him the green eyes and black hair, middling-hued skin, and a middling build -- he lives with the brunette culture).Doesn't take much to be creative, just effort.</blockquote>
