Dice- I actually didn't know that. I'm very new to Iwaku, so I didn't realize there was a dice box. I'll figure that out for random events and who enemies target. Thanks for telling me!Alright, I've got an idea for a race. I haven't got a name for it yet, so it shall temporarily be referred to as X. This is only a rough idea, so feel free to tear it apart.
In the world X comes from they act as a subservient species to vampires. Vampires feed on X without killing or turning them, using X as a sustainable food source- although X does need time to recover after having been fed on. Vampires tend to chose a few favourite Xs to act as their servants, being both that vampire's primary food source and general attendant to that specific vampire's needs. Over the years most of X have grown accustomed to X and do not mind the situation, if not enjoying it. In the past vampires tended to abuse X, but in modern times treat X with respect, both out of feelings of moral obligation and understanding that X tends to cooperate better when they are treated well (there is another reason which shall be gone into more later). There are a notable number of outliers in beliefs for both species though. Some vampires believe all of X should be enslaved, and are viewed much like someone who claims black people who be enslaved in our society. There is a small but growing group of X rebels who wish to free all of X from their subservient status, with a few vampire supporters. This group is seen as a bunch of crazies who do not understand basic biology and simply want to cause unrest, since most beings (both vampires and X) are happy with the way things currently are.
X has adapted to have higher charisma in order to help them get vampires to treat them well- since they cannot beat the strength of vampires instead they charm vampires into caring for them. This has helped with getting to the stage where modern vampires treat their X servants with respect, creating a symbiotic relationship where in exchange for feeding off X vampires protect and provide for their X servants. X who are particularly skilled in charisma can even manipulate vampires to the degree where it seems as if the vampire is the servant, but X this skilled are few and far between. Another stat X are above average in is wisdom. This is because they tend to study hard in order to be able to use Grimoire to serve their vampires. What sorts of Grimoire one is expected to use varies from culture to culture and vampire to vampire within the world. It goes without saying that particularly studious X will be particularly gifted in wisdom, making them highly prized. X with a particularly high wisdom stat tend to serve the highest ranking vampires in society (think princes and the like). Having been astoundingly weaker to vampires for some time there has been no use to X evolving to have improved strength, since it would still be next to nothing compared to the strength of vampires. Hence X is a weak race, with even their strongest rarely managing to even have what could be considered average strength. Since they tend to rely on vampires to protect them, X have a low constitution stat too. If an X has to protect them-self due to the absence of any protector then they have to rely on Grimoire protection spells or dodging the blow (dexterity), since they cannot survive many blows. It is likely that in the RP's scenario that an X character would try to convince someone else to protect them (so my character may try to rely on another as a meatshield). AFTERNOTE- Considering replacing the strength of wisdom with constitution (currently a weakness), explanation for constitution as a strength being that their bodies have grown resilient from repeatedly being fed on by vampires. Likely to replace weakness of constitution with weakness in intelligence if I do so.
X have small and slender humanoid bodies, reflecting their weak physiology. As X grow older their skin becomes incredibly pale, almost sheet white, from repeatedly having their blood sucked by vampires. Even the males of X look extremely feminine as part of adapting to charm vampires, and tend to be considered beautiful by other races. X always have at least one tail, but they may have more- there is a fair amount of variation in the tails possible, with certain types of tails being more common in particular areas of the world. They also often have short stubby horns, one of the most common locations for which is atop their head- however, horns may protrude from over places, such as their shoulders, hips, etc. Again, horn tendencies depend upon where the X is from. The natural behaviour of X is to find someone to protect them- how they approach this can vary from being manipulative, trying to have a mutually beneficial relationship, or even offering themselves up as a slave. Despite not being able to take much physically, X are mentally resilient from having their bodies repeatedly mutilated.

ALSO as a note on another topic- in the OP you say "we won't have access to dice". I was wondering if you were aware Iwaku has a dice box? I think you can insert random.org rolls in your post too (such that you cannot re-roll them).
As for your species;
L1: Blood regens faster, heals 1 HP every hour naturally verses the normal 1 HP every 2 hours. Vampire's will avoid trying to kill you if possible.
L2: Repetitive study helps master Grimoire's, +1 Wis
L3: Rough skin develops, +1 Con and +1 max hp
L4: Smooth Tongue, +1 Charisma
L5: Technical Skill, +1 Wis when equipped with a Grimoire of your starting element.
That's all I have for it for the time being. I'll come up with later levels as soon as possible.
Now then, @Hermit.Js
Nemid looks good. You won't have access to a portal gun off the gate, of course. That would be terribly unbalanced, but you may get one in the future. Meanwhile what I need from you is a description of The Dauun. Also since Nemid will be a human hybrid, he'll get half of the human abilities and half of the Daunn abilities. (Although you won't be able to pick and chose.)
Human abilities are:
L1: Fantastical Mind: +1 Wisdom
[BCOLOR=transparent]L2: Surgery: Humans are willing to do surgery on themselves. +2 intimidate[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]L3: Overload: Humans can more easily use technology. +3 to using computers[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]L4: Enhancements: If a human loses a limb, they can replace it although it would reduce a stat by -2 permanently.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]L5: Predatory Stalking: +1 intimidate and +1 Constitution[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]L6:Diverse: Humans can survive any non-extreme weather as long as there's oxygen.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]L7: Blood Bowl: +2 Strength +1 Constitution[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]L8: Rabbits: Reproduce extremely quick. +3 Charisma[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]L9: Tribalism: +1 to all stats for every human nearby. [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]L10: Tools: Human weapons do much more damage to giant monsters. +4 damage to anything larger than a bear.[/BCOLOR]
