HUMANOIDS

Humans, the dominant race of Lunis

Resourceful, emotional, and with an appetite for conquest - humans can be found throughout the known world. They live short-lives, but they make the most of the time they have. While they exist in small settlements throughout the continent, a majority of them reside within Castudana. Finding comfort in the safety offered by the city's walls.[break][break]

Humans lack any natural born advantages compared to other races. But their sheer number and never-say-die attitude more than make up for that.[break][break]

Elves, the oldest race in the world

The history of elvenkind is a long one. Dating back to a time when the gods still walked the earth. Although few elves who remember those days still live. With lifespans that can reach into the centuries, elves hold a very indifferent view towards other races. Believing themselves superior to the rest of the races of the world.[break][break]

Elves exist in two separate groups. The ones that live inside Castudana are referred to as Highborn Elves. Highborn Elves make up most of Lunis's elf population. Highborn's have lost touch with the spiritual and druidic aspects of their past.[break][break]

The second type of elf, Frontier Elves, exist in a smaller number outside Castudana's walls. Druidic and nomadic, they live in harmony with nature. They regard not only their Highborn brethren but Castudana itself with disdain and disgust.[break][break]

Vedalken, genius inventors and master politicians

Recognized by their blue skin and elongated heads. No's sure where the Vedalken came from, not even them. They just appeared one day in mass at the gates of Castudana's first district. Several centuries have passed since then, but their origin still remains a mystery.[break][break]

What is known is all Vedalken are born with a thirst for knowledge and are supernaturally drawn towards aether. Vedalken scientists and inventors have put Castudana leagues above other nations when it comes to technology. Inventors of Magitek, they shared its secrets for a seat on Castudana's High Council.

BEASTFOLK

Leonin, cunning hunters of the wilds

Evolved from lions, the Leonin is one of several beast races that populate the continent of Lunis. They live in groups called prides and can be found both inside and outside Castudana's massive border. They are natural hunters. Leonin that choose to reside within the city use this talent to make a name for themselves.[break][break]

Minotaurs, tribal barbarians

Ferocious warriors, Minotaur's are one of the toughest races on Lunis. They are also one of the more primal. Living in barbaric tribes in the mountains and hills outside Castudana. Minotaur culture is based around strength - both physical and emotional. Prone to fits of rage, a Minotaur that cannot temper and channel its anger is looked down upon.

FAE

Satyrs, playful party animals

Touched by the unpredictable magic of the aether, these half-human half-goat hybrids love to play and party. Satyrs live almost exclusively in the forests of Lunis. Near particularly potent sources of aethereal energy. Living just as long as elves, they've taken a more enthusiastic approach to their long lives. Preferring to party, wild and free - ignoring any consequences that might happen as a result.[break][break]

Closing Statement

The actual number of races on the site is going to be larger than what I have listed here. I simply wanted to give those interested in Falsebound examples of the races they could expect to see/play. Some will be more detailed than others, but they'll all be a vital part to life on Lunis.[break][break]

As I'm sure you can tell - the D&D and Magic the Gathering influence comes across very strongly in regards to the races. They aren't going to be a 1:1 copies but they'll share similar elements. Also, while the site will have a selection of races to pick from upon opening. If a player would like to play a race that isn't already present on the site. They'll have the option to add their desired race to the forum.[break][break]

One last thing I'd like to mention in this update is in regards to Face Claims. The site will use animanga FCs but original art will be allowed. So long as it fits within the animanga-style. The art doesn't even have to be a masterpiece either - so long as it's not a stick figure or something similarly ridiculously.[break][break]

The option to not use an FC will also be available.
