I think it would be interesting if Thulai was a dwarf-dominant planet. While there are other races mingled in with society, dwarves would be the most common and that most cities hold dwarven influence or architecture. Of course there will be other cultural hotspots from other species... I'm still coming with ideas for races. One idea was basically tall men made of metal, but I quickly shot that one down.

Here's a link to some race ideas:

http://www.freewebs.com/celestialkin/uniqueraces.htm#209333438

I saw some things like Gremlins, and Mannikins (artificial people), Kobolds, and Avariels, which are basically people with wings and funky ears.

There are also Drow if you aren't particularly interested in classical elves. Drow are dark skinned.

Rivitar added. Since that's our first non-human race, what do people think about having the remaining races be primarily reptilian/saurian, amphibian, and/or avian?

Dwarven-dominant society could be good; that would pose some interesting issues ergonomically, since the majority members of society would be dramatically shorter than what I imagine the rest of the characters will be.

I was thinking of giving each race a favored aspect, where each race would basically have an element that they performed best with (I put in some more about this in the race sheet and tentatively assigned Fire to the Rivitar). Also, giving the characters minor magic, where they had a spell that they could cast a few times a day as a problem-solving tool, or even something to fall back on in a rough spot? Everyone would start out with one that they knew, then have the chance to learn others later.

It would be an interesting theme for sure. I'd have to give that some thought though since I haven't really thought out my own character and what I'd like him or her to be. I did make my own race once, for a game. They were basically four armed monkey type people with two tails. They still have their hind legs so it would actually be six limbs, and they have repetitive eyes like that of a bug's.

And yeah, the trait aspects would go nicely. It would be interesting to see what the dominant aspect of each race you'd think would fit them best.

At the moment, dwarves are earth, rivitar are fire.

EDIT: Aha, here's the pic. Everybody be fine with this as a race? http://lucern7.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4p73fd (He didn't explicitly say this was the picture, but I assume it is, since turtles aren't exactly his usual fare. If not, I'll update with the new pic.)

They're the race I'll probably use, anyway. I'll write something up for them a bit later.

I'll write something up for a race of cockatiel people because I need more Camaxtli in my life.

Nicely done, Eo. While you focus on the races, is there anything else you'd like me to help out with?

Eh; we'll be starting out in orbit around the moon. I'm thinking what's in the next system over, or what we might run into on the way there.

Although there could be some unrest with disgruntled, mutated Lunar settlers trying to halt the ship's launch.

I think a page ago someone posted a link to a bunch of races, would it be OK for me to pick one of those?

Once we get a title and another race or two in, we can seriously start. ANybody want to put a character sheet out?

Are you still taking ideas for races and such? If you need I have an idea or two but they aren't 'traditional'. They are still humanoid/have hands.

Other than that when this starts would everyone be together, as in one ship?

You'll probably be starting together, either starting the tour of the ship or on a moon shuttle.

If you want to put in a race, go ahead, especially if it's the one you want to play as.

Buts its not a 'real' race as far as fantasy races go. (An Oxymoron I know.)

I just read over everything and just got this random image in my head of what a race can look like. Maybe if its too weird you can use it later as an alien species met or what-not.

Essentially, my idea is for a humanoid species called Geist. The Geist are essentially a manifestation of a deceased race. Basically no one knows the origin of them. They were discovered in a more recently explored area of Thulai (Assuming that a few decades ago the entire planet was not yet known). They are speculated to be what was left of a long extinct race that remained 'alive' through some sort of necromancy. They have a fixed populace of relatively low numbers, which is strange considering they live forever. However, they are not invincible. In fact they are rather vulnerable and due to other races not being very accepting of them they dwindle. Couple that with the fact that they can't reproduce and you have an endangered species. But fret not, as the world is (slowly) becoming more accepting and more industrialized societies are offering them safe havens. They share feelings and emotions and thoughts like everyone else but have no recollection of their past, nor any sense of time. They are all very old though.

As far as looks go they have a roundish head of a greyish to black color with only two golf ball sized, white openings which act as eyes. Having no mouth they communicate telepathically. They sometimes unconsciously make really strange muffled yells however, as if someone was trapped within something trying to call for help, but they can never hear this themselves. They have a long slender body of the same color of their face as well as 5 digit hands at the ends of awkwardly long arms. They have legs about normal length for their height and have strange toe-less feet. They are always 6 ft high, however the are slightly slouched forward. They can wear clothing but don't need too, having nothing to cover up. Their skin ranges from soft and flesh like to hard and metallic.(I know that basically using this as a character means little difference appearance wise, but their is the fact that they could wear clothing. Plus it will mean personality will play a big role.)

So yeah. Meh. I don't know why I come up with these weird ideas. Hoping you find at least some use for this stuff. I'll be back later so hasta luego.
