This is the thread where you can apply to add a new race to the world of Aceon. This is also the thread where you can find a list of races already added, that you can play as. Keep in mind, if it is not listed here, you will not be able to play as it on the server.
Below is the application you can use to apply a new race for Aceon:
Race:
Defining Features:
Why this race and not another?:
Race: Human
Sub Race: Skanda or Skandan
Defining Features: Originating from the the archipelagos of the cold North, expert in coastal sailing, often mistaken for being aggressive in nature when just over expressive, nearly all are tall (6 foot or over), Fair skinned and (usually) haired, commonly have very pale blue eyes, due to originating in cold climates they struggle to cope with manual tasks in heat, normally are not good with technology from primitive lifestyles, have a mistrust of magic, likes a good saga with a flagon of mead or ale, good fishermen and poor traders.
Why this race?: A lot of new members have ideas from playing Skryim and a love of Nords, so as other races are subject to limitations it makes sense to put boundaries on what a large stock of our player base can do without good RP and back story.

Accepted. Too bad HuliganFish isn't here anymore to write the lore page, he really liked Nords. Can you do it CP, like you did for the Arget?

I can try, do you mind I use a fair bit of actual norse mythology and stuff like that?

Like Skandians from Rangers Apprentice?

Just wondering ;D , my brother reads them and, wont shut up. Their just a bunch of half rate hack jobs so dont bother reading. Carry on with Taco blessing :D
The link part looks kinda bare still, Ford are you up for writing more Elf lore? and anyone else for writing some Orc, S'ogreth and Alu-Apanonar? I kinda want to write a bit of Dwarf lore and try some goblin, but if anyone else wants to say so.
and
Race: Goblin
Sub Race: Hobgoblin
Defining Features: Like all goblins in general appearance save for the pinkish or purplish tinge to their skin, and their neon blue eyes. The Hobgoblin is commonly confused with small Orcs but is in fact a much smaller species of Goblin averaging around 4 feet in height. The Hobgoblin is usually the master sneak and mischief maker, and can often be found in attics making noises or under bridges making 'Troll' sounds to scare unsuspecting victims. The species is very violent but has an innate fear of blood so often refrains from causing serious harm. At times of war a pack of Hobgoblins would be sent into the enemy camp to put all sorts of nasty things into boots, helmets and soups, and would replace swords with wooden replicas. In the city environment a Hobgoblin can often be found among a gang of thieves picking the pockets of the upper classes. Those Hobgoblins who have magical ability will often use it to do things such as tie shoe laces together or undo purse stitches...
Why this race?: It seemed kind of weird having goblins and only one sub race to me so I though I would try this
I'm working on the Merfolk (Apanonans) but, I'm not sure if I want to try at the orcs again.

Jagger right now is working on the other bits of elf lore, Taco is supposed to be working on Merfolk, and Psy is supposed to be working on S'ogreth. I have Demon working on Novarium, but we do still ned someone to do Orcs, and the lore for the goblins and their sub race. It would be MUCH appreciated if you sent a message to me first asking about writing the lore, and then if you write the lore, send it to me first so I can proof-read it and make sure it is ok.
Also,
Accepted.
Ahhhh! Stop approving races!

Its a subrace for the Goblin type. Its cool to have subraces to define and, divide the main races.
Race:Elf
Sub-Race: Eldivan
Defining Features: Very fair skinned; hair normally pale bond, silver, or white; eyes are one colour with no pupil. Sometimes have
tattoos on their face and/or hands. Live in the deepest forest for seclusion, but build large cities in them.
known for being a military people. Normally prefer the longsword as weapon of choice. Personalities are quite humble. They prefer to
stay within their on cities but some will venture off to distant lands in search of adventure.
Why this race and not another?: Because there isn't really a elven sub-race focus around worriors, well other than dark elves but
they seem to be more reapers than fighters.
I find it to be different enough from the other elven sub-races to be able to fit properly as a race

I have been approving too many races recently apparently, so I will let Port handle this one.

Race: Kayal(shadow people), are descended from generations of humans trapped on the Plane of Shadow( the end). Infused with the essence of that plane, they are more and less than human. They often serve as middle men in trade and politics, concealing themselves with heavy clothing or dim light so they can work without prejudice.
Defining Features:
General: Kayal have glowing yellow eyes and skin deviod of color, being either a stark white, a midnight black or a shade of gray. Commonly thier bodies are slender and lithe, though it is not rare to see one of more shape. They tend to lack muscle, with slender arms and claw-like nails on thier fingertips.
dwelling in the shadows: Kayal, being of the shadows, feel comfortable in the dark and shade. they tend to avoid continual exposure to the sun becuase it can cuase " light sickness." Light sickness is were a kayal has stayed in broad daylight to long without the proper protection( EI: Dense clothing and or a cloak ). This sickness cuases the subject to become weak and drained of any strength they had, they may become delusional at times or if the expose continues while sick then the subject could die.
Why this race and not another?: I decided to take a second try at making a race after my first one was denied. I hope this one is a bit more fitting .
( I dont know if this would be a human sub-race or not ^^' )

It looks fine, but I want you to rewrite it/add some stuff.
They're definitely a subrace unless you can prove otherwise.
Race: Humans
Sub-Race: Kayal
Defining Features:
The Kayala are a people descended from several generations of primitive humans trapped within the dimension known as "The End". Lacking a proper sun and surrounded by the darkness-loving Endermen, the Kayala rapidly mutated but remained essentially human, as Kayal/Human interbreeding has shown. Kayal invariably have pale yellow irises and skin deviod of any pigmentation; Kayalian skin tones generally range from white to gray to pinkish-white. Some Kayalians have rather thin skin and in those special cases, much of their nervous structure and veins can be viewed with the naked eye.
Most, if not all of the Kayal are slender and thin, although it is not exceedingly rare to see one with a more shapely body. Kayal majorly lack muscle, having longer than average arms with preternaturally sharpened fingernails that blacken to a perfect ebon sheen as the person grows older.
Kayal males are generally taller than the males of any other human race and have an extra set of canine teeth where their eye-teeth would be.
Kayal females are just as slender as men, but lack the extra teeth. Kayal girls often develop almost elven, pointed ears. It is also not uncommon to see completely flat-chested Kayal women.
Kayal suffer uniquely in the Aceonic daylight, their whole race being afflicted with Albinism. Kayal who dwell in the sun, uncovered are prone to develop Soluxia. The first stage of this disease will cause the Kayal to become dizzy or suddenly have a bloody nose. Second level Soluxia will cause the afflicted Kayal to wretch painfully until they vomit. Third stage Soluxia often reduces Kayal into a coma-like state that may (and often does) result in death. For this reason many Kayal either reside in colder regions to allow them to wear great amounts of clothing or carry a parasol everywhere they go. Most Kayal generally do not like to consume alcohol or narcotics as they fear they will wander into the sun while they are drunk.
Socially, the Kayal are distant and relatively cold emotionally but fear violence in all forms. They are paranoid, schizophrenic and reclusive at thier worst. In society the Kayal are often seen in the role of negotiator and ambassador. It is only in these jobs that the Kayal seem to shed their carapace of indifference.When lives become endangered, most Kayal reveal the deep passion that is stored deep within their mind. The saying goes that there is nothing so determined as a Kayal trying to stop a war.
Race: human
Defining Features: i have the proper skin in game for a human
Why this race and not another?: i like the human race because in game they have many jobs and ways to earn money. i also like being a human because there pretty awesome ;D

No no, you don't apply to be a human in here Swag. You apply to play as a NEW race that isn't on our list yet here. You are free to pick from the list we have, on which human is included.

ACCEPTED
Race:Elf
Sub-Race: Eldivan
Defining Features: The Eldivan had split off from the High Elves in the early first era, after many elves lusted for a great military. A group of no more than 350 men & women left the cities of the the High elves to start their own military-ran city. They traveled far into the mountains, where iron and coal were rich in supply. There, they carved great building out of the stone and started to work on their empire.
The Eldivan military started as a small band of men and women ready to fight, slowly evolving as their numbers grew. They rapidly discovered many advancements in warfare, including the use of a camouflage uniform instead of a colourful uniform,the creation of guerilla warfare, and the invention of basic explosives.Around the year 340, the Eldivan had found great use in adapting certain qualities the great Ermorian military had. They started to group there men into Qari (Sections), with an Qaror (Section Officer) leading each one. As a soldier grew in skill and experience, they would be praised with a higher rank, and a better position in the military.
The Eldivan had changed very much since the splitting from the High Elves. The Eldivan have much fairer skin, their hair colour has also become much lighter, They have a large build compared to the other Elves, and have been know to have war paint across their face and down their arms. They are a very proud people, willing to fight for what they believe in, but are not known to
start war with others. If you were to personally meet an Eldivan, intimidated would be the first thing to overcome you. They are know to look quite threatening, but most are no more scary than a little girl after meeting them.... well as long as you don't do wrong by him. If so, he is quite inclined to rip you fingers off and feed them to you.
Why this race and not another?: Because there isn't really a elven sub-race focus around worriors, well other than dark elves but they seem to be more reapers than fighters. I find it to be different enough from the other elven sub-races to be able to fit properly as a race.

I would be inclined to accept this. But as a sub-race of Elves, if not a sub-race of High Elves. Like the Druchii are of Dark Elves.
I will wait for Port before accepting this though.
Jagger specifically says they're a High Elf subrace.
Approved and whatnot

Race: Wae - Singular Waena - Plural
[/size]
Defining Features: The Waena are similar to the Welden, in the sense they are both made out of necessity, and organic matter. However, the key difference is their creator. The Waena are born from Glades, open areas in woodlands. During their younger stages, the Glade nutures the Waena within the earth. The Waena are meant to religiously protect and serve their Glade. The Waena stay with their Glade for their entire life. Many people who have come in contact with Waena view that as vile, twisted creatures, however this behavior is learned from their Glade. The Waena are commanded to bring beasts with flesh to their Glade. These offerings give the Glade life, increasing its life-time, and potency for growing plants.
Why this race and not another?: This is because I'd like to try and see if a mean, scary version of an Ent works. They're not necessarily scary, but they are relatively evil, due to their corrupted upbringing.

Denied sorry. Me and Port both don't see the need for this race, especially with the next map coming up, in which there will only be a city.
Race: Human
Sub-race; Vol'quessir
Defining features: Humans whose ancestors bred with some of the more sentient beings of the Void, and the nether while living to tell the tale, and birth children. They're vaguely humanoid in size in shape, except for strange horns that have been known to take on queer sizes and shapes. They're skin is usually a grey-ish pallor, though it's not uncommon for another. If one of them is especially blessed, they've been granted strange looking tails, which seem lizard-like in nature. In terms of sociability, they rarely lose friendship in others once it is forged, if they can over-come the usual prejudice most hold for them. Due to this, they've usually fallen into packs of their own, whether it be camp of do-goodly adventurers, or some shady mercenary army.
Why them: I’ve noticed a lack of exotic races, though dem lizard men look interesting, so, I thought, why not make a race similar to Tieflings? I’ve had several people who’ve responded well to the idea, and I’m hopping that this’ll give those off-drifters a rallying point. Anyway, that’s it. Cookies!
Other Info: Sigh, I know there’s something I’m missing, but, I don’t expect this to be accepted anyway, this is more a test-run for me. Anyway, if you have suggestions, I beg you, tell me.

Other Info: Sigh, I know there's something I'm missing, but, I don't expect this to be accepted anyway, this is more a test-run for me. Anyway, if you have suggestions, I beg you, tell me.
Uhm.
It looks decent but I'm going to
Postponed
it because I don't know how well I like the idea of (essentially) half-demons running around the city.
Just to elaborate a bit further, essentially, they're race grants them no bonuses. They're appearance and social behavior is just different from a full Humans, due to severe prejudice, and as a side effect of that, usually being neglected/abused.

That was what I was worried about, really. We already have a bunch of racial tension (Or so I've come to believe) so I'm not sure if we need a race to fill that slot just now. Don't think of your application as "DENIED" think of it as more of "Approved in the future"
Also.

That's a comma splice. I hate comma splices.
To elaborate, that sentence didn't need any commas. ( I mean there's a couple ways you could've added them in there, but you really didn't need to. )
Sorry to go all Grammarmancer on you.
Race: Elf
[/size]Sub Race: ShadeDefining [/size]Features: Shade elves usually have fair skin, and have large ranges of hair coloring, but always have brilliant eyes, for example emerald or bright cyan. They act like rouges, assassins for hire, and ambassadors for and between races and factions. Although they can travel alone quite effectively, they thoroughly enjoy traveling in groups of three or four as well for adventure. Known for being trustworthy, they are also extremely fierce when provoked or in combat. Have a tendency for being foul mouthed. They travel from city to city, but set up neutral fortresses and sanctuaries in mountain ranges, valleys, and very occasional lake fronts.
[/size]Why this race and not another?: There does not appear to be an elven sub-race that journeys comfortable away from their homes and can mix into different cultures, acting like liaison or neutral race. They would be a sub race that operates on their own individual accord. Just a thought I had.

The Kayal potentially fit this gap but they're humans, I guess. Either way there's no reason to make a whole 'nother subrace.
Race:Human
Sub Race:Emorian Desecant
You're dong it wrong...
Race: Kayal
Defining Features: Face of nothing but shadows and eyes of blood red. If stared into eyes for too long, starer might go paranoid/insane because their nightmares come true in their own head. Can morph shape at will but always has blood red eyes no matter what shape. Normal form is a hooded Floating shadow.
Why this race and not another?:Kayal sounds evil! I would really like to be a villain in this rp server.
Doing it wrong.
Race: Gedwëy kyn ( it means " shining kind" )were a once great race of humanoids( not a sub race )
Defining Features:
common feature: Silver skin with slightly varying hues, bright eyes fair complexion.
Common specimen: varying forms of the common features, these Gedwey are of average humanoid appearance.
Disciples: varying sub-types of this category. These Gedwey are specialized to what their masters represent.
Disciples of strength, power and battle: Disciples of the god-king of the Gedwey. They are mainly male, tall( around 5'8 to 6'7, overly muscular in build, with a redish hue to thier skin and long limbs.
Disciples of Magic, Knowledge, life and Beauty: These Desciples follow the Queen of the race, all being Beautiful, high in both intelligence and magical potential. they are normally short voluptuous and have a blueish tone to thier skin.
( we can add more later )
Why this race and not another?: I want to make an entire race instead of a sub race and I hope this shot will go well, I have alot more info on them, but I dont know how to put it on here so if I could get some help writing the lore for it.

They seem more human than anything.
What makes them inhuman?
Humans are boring :(
Main Race: Human
Sub-Race: Kryptoras
The debate upon whether they should be considered a race or subrace was a long and heated disscusion between much of the upper guilds-men. these "results" of a dark brotherhood of mages' "experiments" resulted in the loss of an entire generation of children from few select villages. these children, at various stages of age, were then exposed to dark rituals and magics. these resulted in the following traits:
-oddly colored hair
-irregularly colored pupils
-conductivity of shadows through biological means (whether through it being their own biological concious/body, or other means of outside states i.e. inanimate shadows)
-altered mental states
-severe sensitivity to light
Many children were forced to battle it out in death-matches to prove whom was the strongest. this resulted in cruelty complexes and a severe belief in ultimate governing through strength. however, some children were also purged of most emotion through this and repress their emotions in an attempt to repress the rage induced into them through the trials. many also escaped and/or turned on their local brotherhood heads, killing them. this resulted in the diffusion of them into the population, resulting in:
pure-bloods: the original experiments. retain all traits of the experiments
second generation: offspring of 2 pure-bloods, retain physical characteristics of the experiments and the dark magics bestowed into them by their parents, but only at half the effectiveness
Half-Hearts: mix of 1 pure-blood parent and one "other" parent. child retains some physical characteristics. powers are a recessive trait and if owned at all are at severe depletion of power (ie simple wiring or a knife at max)
the powers bestowed upon the experiments were however selective, and not all results of the experiments produced magic powers, merely, others retained only physical characteristics, while others were severely affected mentally and developed sever cases of psychosis.
Why this race and no other: I believe i have kept this race from being overpowered. the pure-bloods themselves (1st generation anyway) will only remain in the gene pool for about one to two maps at which case they will no longer be able to be played. also with the "selectiveness" of their decided powers, a magic application would have to be in order and pass by the admin's standards to fit, but would still not be required if placed. i believe this also would be a race for the person wanting a darker history to their character, whether they wish to be an evil knight with an arrogance and rage problem, or an almost entirely nonexistent emotional side wanderer with a dark and mysterious history. i believe there would be a few people who would enjoy such a character to be and i believe others might also enjoy RP-ing with such characters as it would give a new breath of attitude to some people on the server. If you wish you may also compare some of their attitudes to that of the Sith race from star wars or to the Golden Darkness (i do not condone the show for that one i just like the character design).
Shouldn't post, but whatever happened to ze half-demons? I was chatting about making it dreary purposely, cause I saw you mention you didn't want OMGWTF races arond, then Quin wiped it.
Quote from: Wolfie on 23-04-2012

if i remember correctly there was ever only one (seeing as how i posted that race app back in Ermor times) and he ended up dying without continuing the race. plus i believe after Ermor Quin said never again with that race.
- Race: Jovians
- Defining Features:
- The Jovians are an ancient race exiled from their reality by their creators. In an alternate timeline and far into the future, the Jovians were a gestalt race bred from the DNA of an extinct race of elves known as the "Pallavar". Using magic, science and the blood of a thousand slaves, the progenitor race created the Jovians to be the perfect slave. They were muscular, obediant and quite smart. The Jovians were also very quixotic when not attended by one of their masters and tended to murder one-another when not chained.
- The Progenitor race was wise and immediately saw the possibilty of revolt. They soon installed a "Religion" of sorts into the genes of the Jovians. Every Jovian that was born would regard thier masters as Gods.
- As the Jovians were exposed to thier master's culture, they slowly absorbed the inherent magical energies that were used to keep day-to-day life running smoothly. Several years after their creation, packs of Jovians that were being shipped across the world would siphon energies from the mage-powered Thunder Tram, forcing the slaves to be only transported in groups of three.
- Jovians, when exposed to magic would seem to stratify. One would seem to get more curious and manic, one would get more aggressive and brutish and a third would become bold and certain. Not all Jovians experienced this change but the ones who did would not exhibit the changes for long.
- It wasn't until the Emergence Crisis that Jovians had any real will of their own. During the Crisis, a large project of the progenitors underwent critical stresses and burst with magical energy. The 54,000 Jovians who were working on the project were assumed dead as the magical blast tore apart a major city.
- Years later, it was discovered that the Jovians who were working on the project had been thrown backwards in time, to when the Jovian race was first created. These Jovians started an insurrection that planned to overthrow Progenitor society on the day of the Emergence Crisis. Long story short, the Emergence produced a mana-dependant strain of Jovians that mutated over a six thousand year span, alongside their ancestors. They would have succeeded in their rebellion, too.
- The Aberrant Jovians were the ones who caused the Emergent Crisis, and with it, mutated themselves with an immeasurable arcane energy. Those 54,000 Jovians, instead of being flung back in time, were thrown into another dimension. Now, without their god-leaders to guide them, they looked to themselves as gods of all reality.
- Jovians in Aceon are a member of one of the Three Pathes.
- The Noble Path - Those Jovians of the Noble Path believe that all actions, regardless of purpose, should be the ones that cause the greatest good. This path is perceived in many ways but generally the Noble see Jovian Good as the Greatest Good. Nobles are lanky or gangly and have pale white skin. A Noble who is of an especially high standing will embed spikes of gold into his body. Most nobles grow a collar of bone as they mature. Full grown nobles have a collar that only exposes the nose and above. Nobles are most commonly female but males aren't that rare.
- The Brutal Path - Jovians who obsess over physical fitness are those who worship the Brutal Path. Evolution and nature are huge tenants of the Brutal Path and Brutes tend to be more aggressive in any given situation. Brutes embody the idea of "Survival of the Fittest" and only obey non-Nobles when it is to thier personal interest. Brutes have wide shoulders and bone structures jutting out of their backs or heads and always have naturally tanned or olive skin. A fully matured Brute may grow bull's horns or any other strange spikes or bone structures on its body. Brutes are predominately male.
- The Docile Path - Jovians who believe that it does not matter what they do are born into this path. What the Docile do is uncertain, if they even do anything at all. The Docile do what they please and fear no concequence and are almost hedonistic (although not all of them). Docile obey the Noble but express no sense of urgency. Docile are prone to procrastinate or intentionally misinterpret a task. Although the Docile are androgynous and have skin that is almost silver, they can and often do look almost like a natural human. Immature docile only have 3 digits on each foot/hand but mature to even more effectively resemble a human. Docile are invariably hermaphrodites.
- Why this race and not another?: Holy shit Portkins wrote my backstory for me.

no he means they close from side to side, not up and down....its a unique feature...
Race: Gedwey Kyn (This is translated into "Shining Kind"
The Gedwey Kyn's origin is unknown but they have a large city to the south near the Nomas deserts. The Gedwey Kyn live their lives governed by the Council of Colour, a gathering of the two wisest male and female Gedwey Kyn of each separate Caste. While they have a militaristic Caste they have no desire to spread further than they have already.
Defining Features: Metallic-colored skin (the coloration depends on their caste), bright glowing eyes with no visible whites, their eyelids close horizontally instead of vertically. They have only 3 digits on each hand and foot, finely pointed teeth.
Magic-enriched blood: The Gedwey's blood is unique in the fact that it has a highly magic potential, this magical essence seems to be controlled by certain emotions depending on the subjects Caste. Not all subjects have the ability to use magic, but all have the potential to have magic. In a Gedwey the magic trait is sex-linked to the X chromosome making it so that Females have higher magical potential then males, but this does not mean that Females have stronger magic's then males.
Before puberty A Gedwey child is neither Male nor female, but have the ability to flit in between genders and castes in a matter of seconds. This is caused by the magical properties of their blood being highly unstable at the time. When the Child hit puberty however the essence begins to stabilize and the Child will be put through a ritual to decide what gender and caste they will belong to.
Castes: Each caste makes up a different part of the Gedwey society and are named for the different colors of their skin.
The Red Caste: These Gedwey are tall, bulky and strong. They are characterized by the black spikes that grow on their bodies in patches, the stronger the red the more spikes are apparent (no they aren't red cacti). The Reds are predominantly male and make up the Gedwey Military and other jobs that require brutal strength (I.E: Guards, soldiers, enforcers, ETC.) Magic users of the red persuasion tend to be most powerful when they use their powers out of anger.
The Blue Caste: This caste is predominantly female. The women of this caste are for the most part considered highly attractive by other Gedwey, being short, curvaceous and well endowed. The blues are characterized by the entrancing swirling blue patterns that cover their silver skin. This Caste possesses extremely high magic potential and most, if not all of these female have the ability to use magic and their magic's are the strongest when they are excited. They usually take up the role of teachers, mages (and other magical classes), scholars and scribes, but also fill entertainment roles such as Dancers.
The Green Caste: The Green Caste has no predominant gender. They fill the role of farmers and food producers; they are the most jovial of the Gedwey Kyn and are more lively then other castes. Greens are the tallest of their kind but are very thin. Their passions lie in drinking, partying, dancing and music. They are always ready for a feast and can never pass up a chance for a festival. Their magic is generally the most easily used as it is strongest when the caster is happy.
The Orange Caste: The tinkers and tricksters of the Gedwey Kyn world. These quick fingered hooligans make machinery for their different colored cousins but design intricate traps and devices to outwit their own color. Oranges can be found hidden away in their workshops or trying to sneak into someone else's. Their magic is often not used as they prefer to rely on their creations rather than the laughter enhanced magic they have. The more creative an engineer they are the larger the ridges along their forearms are. In appearance they are generally smaller and squatter than other Castes.
The Brown Caste: Builders and labourers, muscle is very much greater than mind or magic in the case of this Caste. Big, bulky and boring, Browns are content in the simple work of manual labour. They stronger they are the larger the ridges upon their back are, to help when lifting the great stones of their architectural designs. Due to the lack of creativity Gedwey Kyn architecture is incredibly similar, with a basic design repeated in different sizes depending on the need of the building. Magic is hard to access for these brown hued builders but is strongest when the caster is calm and concentrated.
The Black Caste: The undesirable and lacking of the Gedwey Kyn. A defect carried in all of their kind leaves one in five emotionally crippled, therefore magically crippled as well. With no magical essence in their blood they have a darker, blander appearance with large dark tattoo like markings under their eyes. These grey skinned outcasts form much of lower class in society picking up the jobs like cleaners and grave keepers. However all of Gedwey Kyn priesthood consists of the Black Caste as they have no magical ability to corrupt the gifts of their Gods. The Black Caste is the only Caste not represented in the Council of Colour. They are of average height but are incredibly thin, their skeleton is easily visible through their gaunt build.
Why this race and not another: They seem super awesome. This is Dura's creation but had problems posting it so I am instead.
I wanted to add color XD so I did it

isn't that horizontaslly <-> and what do you think of them ?
If they closed horizontally they would look look like ( I ), if they closed TO the horizon, they'd be (---)
The same goes for vertical, except vice versa. (Closed vertically (---) , Closes to the vertices's ( I ) )
Is that a very vague approval? And yeah they close like humans don't.

Race: Fallen Angel
Sub Race: None, this is a new race im making.
Here is the details of the Fallen Angels in this lore I made and axidentally put on the lore page, sorry about that.
The Fallen Angels, those that came from the top of the clouds, have fallen from their life from up above, the Aether.
"After contact from the Aether and the surface had been destroyed by the Rulers of the Aether, a band of rebels fought the Rulers, and lost. Those that escaped execution went into hiding. Then, the remaining rebels gathered together, and made a plan. Some of those with them would stay and continue fighting the Rulers, and the rest would flee with their lives. The ones that fled had nowhere to go, so they decided to go the one place no one could look for them: the surface. So, together, they jumped off the edge of the Aether and fell to the surface. They became the Fallen Angels. Of course, the Fallen Angels have very long lifespans, even longer than the elves, unless killed, so the original Fallen Angels can still be seen around today. They are treated as normal people, and can be identified by their tattered, burnt, or ruined clothing. They keep the clothing as the symbol of their heritage. When new, young Fallen Angels reach 13 years (50 Human years, 20 Elven years) of age, the young Angel's clothes are burnt or ruined to show their heritage."
-Paragraph 78, Chapter 92, of the Book Of Souls-

Race:Attachi (A-Taw-Chee)
Defining Features: This race is unknown for fighting for they rarely fight, if at all. They also can transform into: a mini fog, a
liquid, and an adult male or female. (Example: Imagine Venom Spiderman without the webs and eyes.) This race feeds off pain
and anger and require it to speak/transform. They pick a conductor (The main person they draw their energy from) and use
him or her to live. Were the conductor to die, so does the Attachi. The only way they can speak is to occupy someone and speak
like telepathy. Some (1 out of 100) can become corrupted and are red. They will try and influence the conductor to do dangerous things
that will maim them so that he, or she, can get more energy. Also, this race is known for being a healer type, they are not aggressive
but will defend their conductor if needed. While in combat, they are forced to transform into a "skin tight" guy and can
not transform into anything else until the fight is over. (The only magic they have is a "painkiller" which reduces pain but
does not remove it entirely and this will make them some-what weaker.)
Why this race and not another?: Mla's reason: It creates a bond between two people to RP with each other and
help each other out. Mine: It's better than a demon that fucking kills everyone.
ALSO (READ THIS): If the Attachi wants fucking super powers they need to apply, otherwise they have to heal people like any other human without magic would. (Except "painkiller")

The only problem (and it's a big one) I see with this is that you can't have the Attached dude RPing without the guy he's attached to. Basically you make Aceon a giant scheduling conflict where if one of the two can't be online, one person suffers every time.

Well if it was ok with the attached person if the person he is attached to can RP his character, would that be fine? And the Attachi could also not be the player's only character, it could just be a side character so he or she won't have to wait for their conductor to be on.

Race: elf[/size][/size]Defining Features: Pointy ears? I don't know anything about this race except that its the subject of genocide.Why this race and not another?: I don't know many races, and this one sounded like one that my character fits under.
I know that this is a less than perfect application. please notify me the right way if so.[/size][/font]
Race: Rassillion Elves
Defining Features:
The Rassillion Elves are most notable for their common ability to possess and use minor magical abilities, however much of the population does not possess such abilities. They maintain the basic looks of the common elves, but have a common mutation from the Dark Elves. They have gray skin, and are rather tall, not muscular, but slim and agile, lest they are of the aristocracy, who often treat themselves to large amount of foods, and become fat and arrogant.
Their eyes are most commonly black, with a yellow tint in the areas beside the pupil and iris. Their hair is most commonly black, in order to look natural. They operate off of a complex caste system, consisting of the abilities and skills of the workers and soldiers.
Top to bottom:
Aristomage Caste: The often pompous and fat aristocratic mages of the society, they subject themselves to magical indulgence, and narcotics.
Aristocracy Caste: The non-magical aristocracy, who often indulge themselves in the fattening luxuries, but not magical indulgence.
Mage Caste: The caste inhabited by the practitioners of the magical arts, though it is implied that the people in the caste only possess skill in mana, the caste also applies to Psykers.
Warrior Caste: This caste is one that anybody can enter, seeing as it is compromised as the army and gladiators. Commoners often move to this caste, even though they are eventually the same.
Common Caste: All normal people are typically born in this caste. They are subject to slavery and long, hard work to make their money.
Why this race and not another?: I feel that this race is a rather unique idea for Elves, a primarily mage one, I also feel that it opens roleplay opportunities, and will have one of the better structured lores out of many races.
Race: The Sanguisect Hivemind
Defining Features: Long since forgotten beneath the surface of Aceon, and uncovered only recently in wake of Renewed Mining efforts, The Sanguisect Species Are Vampiric in nature, as their name would suggest. They live off the blood of living creatures, and use a shapeshifting ability Unique to their Genus of Insect (Loosely related to that of the Mosquito and Horse Fly.) OR. Powerful Pheromones to mask their true indentities from that of their prey. Undisguised, they are extremeley vulnerable to Sunlight, and instinctively seek shelter underground during the day.
The Sanguisect follow a feudal Hierarchy, unlike their name would suggest, the Sanguisect are capable of Independant thought; The Hivemind is best described as a 6th sense, almost instinctive in nature, It has proven to be easilly fooled, if One member is comprimised and transmits faulty information.
The Sanguisect Hivemind build Nests or Hives deep underground, or in stormy and poorly lit areas, They loot and scavenge debris and are believed to be capable of Learning from other races.
Sanguisect Bodies are covered in a very Fragile Exoskeleton, their Cores being naturally armoured with a light Chitin; in comparison to armor, this chitin is literally useless, designed only to prevent scrapes and lacerations to their bodies as they tunnel through their Hives.
Why this race and not another?:
In the Current Balance of the Aceonic conflict, Man and Elve vy for surpremacy and the destruction of their enemy, Recent events would smile upon the Sanguisect, as the ideal moment to arise from the ground and consume all before them has Come.
(By the way, I'm interested in hearing any ideas or tweaks if this is unnacceptable, Also: Hi everybody.)

Approved
Race: Dark Elf
Subrace: Shade
Defining feature: Born of both a Dark and High Elf, the Shades live in exile 50% of the time, but others live in large cities, usually hidden away inside one of the more inconspicuous buildings. Most are semi-sociopathic, not showing emotion unless under extreme physical or mental trauma. Shades excel at Sphere of Mind and Sphere of Nature magicks, but are nigh incapable of any others without special training. Caves do not agree with them, as the shadows are both refuge and death for them, bacause of a strange mutation not allowing them to look directly at the sun, doing so results in fainting and hypertension, and not getting a practically overdose(fron a human point of veiw) amount of vitamin D will result in the same.
Why this race?: I felt that... WE NEED A FAUKING EPIC SUBRACE. Sorry, I get emotional. Anyways, this is kinda a race I always personally found intriuging(however the fauk you spell it) and exotic, and just would love to be this fauking race, bacause it is just... beast.

There's nothing prohibiting halfbreeds. You didn't need to post this.
But... it makes a new race, not a halfbreed, so... not making connectiong between meh synapses!
You are saying the thing that makes them a Shade is they are sociopaths, reclusive and do not show emotion. None of that contributes towards a sub-race just a characters traits. The light thing you say is a mutation so in theory both Dark and High elves could be born with it, again not making it a sub-race...
Ah, but the mutation only occurs when both High and Dark elf genes are present in the DNA, and they live in exile because of said mutation.

I don't understand what you don't understand about the statement "They're halfbreeds."
I know what it means.
I like your character idea.(Provided the rp is quality rp.) Despite that, the race idea is not needed. Not having this race will not subtract from your character, infact I think being a simple half breed would make your character more interesting. Also, continued argueing will not make port approve this race, only make him develope disdain for you.
Quote from: aroniea on 12-11-2012
I know what it means.
Then stop being ignorant for a minute.
Dark elves are an approved race, right?
I know it's right.
High elves. Are they approved? They are.
So you're applying for two already approved races.
You don't need to do that.
Stop being ignorant.
