Tales From Regnum and Beyond (OOC/Signup)

[TechnoSpectre 0-85.5]

The world of Regnum is full of magic, fantasy, and bewilderment. Due to cataclysmic events that you cannot recall, you have wound up on the world of Regnum. You do not know where you are, or even who you were before you arrived. You must begin anew, start a new life, hunt for monsters, it is your choice to decide. While you contemplate the nature of your new life, you decide to look around. You are in a small, tattered house, with few decorations and furnishings. This is the starting place of your journey, whether it be starting a small business to becoming a deity, this is only the beginning of your story.
A new age has dawned upon Regnum. The world is still full of danger, but also hope. The worlds and planes have become more diverse and closer than ever before, causing Regnum to go into a flux of power; mist, the lifeblood of Regnum. This has cause for the world to become greater than ever, and a breeding ground for destruction....

Humans

Humans are the most common, and most influential race in all of Regnum. They outnumber other races 3 to 1 and are fairly average workers, fighters and people with little to no specialty(+ 0 to all stats). They have an average lifespan of 80 years, and are at their physical peak at around 20 years. They are weak individually, but together, they can do almost anything. They usually tend to stay in temperate continents, such as Moonfey, Arbris and New Kaeum, but they can be found all over the world.

Dryads

Dryads, or elves as some people call them, are some of the most agile people on Regnum. They have a unique connection to nature through their religion. Due to this, they tend to live in large groups in Arbris, Tandria and Moonfey. They are experts in most arts, especially in combat, but they are not resilient and have easily broken bones.

Goblins

Goblins are a reclusive people. They tend to live in places that are secluded and or dangerous, such as mesas, cliffs and the mountains of new Kaeum. They are experts at survival, and are naturally agile, but they have thin skin and easily broken bones, and they do not understand the concept of magic. Despite this they will still always try to fight.

Orcs

Orcs ore a proud people of great warriors. They have an impressive stature, and can live on average 70 years. They are experts on any craft that relates to combat, and they are always ready to fight. They usually live in small nomadic groups of 30 that can live almost anywhere. They are very hard to kill, and will never back down from any challenge.

Kumare

Kumare are short and stout people that are expert craftsmen and designers. Their small size has led to prejudice among major settlements, so they live in settlements solely founded by Kumare. Though they have technical prowess, they have little belief in magic.

Kerajh

Kerajh are a people similar to humans, but they are in no way related. They are the one native races on Regnum, the other being Faeries and the Moursah. They make amazing diplomats, magicians, and inventors, but they usually refrain from the brutality of combat. They live a long life up to 90 years old, and prefer to live in more sophisticated areas with less wildlife, like Moonfey.

Faeries

Faeries are a humanoid race that have wings. These wings can vary in size and formation. They can be from butterflies, dragonflies, moths, bees or more rarely; birds. Faeries do not have an average age, but some have been reported to be 400 years or older. They tend to live in places like Moonfey, but they more commonly live their own magically inclined sky fortresses. Faeries ore extremely fragile, but they make up for that with raw vocal and magical talent.

Moursah

Moursah are a unique race. They have 3 sub-types, and each of them is different.

Daura

The Daura are more lizard-like than Khun, but are not nearly as durable. They are notably more intelligent though.

Khun

Khun are more amphibious, but also have a tough shell on their backs, head, arms and chest. They are not as bright as Daura or Vikuan, but they are very hard to kill, and are quick to anger.

Vikuan

Vikuan are draconian members of the Moursah family, and are exclusively feamle. They are riddled with larger scales, horns, and sharper claws as well as an adapted meat only diet.

Moursah can live anywhere except for the colder reaches of the planet, and live for up to 130 years.
Since they have such a unique variety, Moursah are often seen as 3 totally different races.

Preatus

Preatus are giant insects that mainly inhabit the dunes of Badaura and the corrupted lands of Kaeum. They can have many different forms, from humanoid to completely abstract. This disadvantage is countered as Preatus can eat the body of a victim and assume their form. They tend to live abnormally long lifespans, and usually do not specialize in any one vocation. In actuality, Preatus are the combined souls and husks of a soul eater's victims that aren't turned into the actual eaters themselves. Instead, they slowly die, disintegrate and become the key piece to making a preatus, as whenever a soul eater dies, a Preatus is born.

• Traits are things that define your character. They can effect stats but can only effect them by a max of 3 points; positive or negative.
