Races
this road never looked so lonely
★ Humans - While they have no special powers they are exceptionally good at crafting. They do not share the particular strengths of the other races but they have no weaknesses. Humans are favored by the harvest goddess and have the most career options.
★ Fey - Part of an old faerie lineage, they excel in minor magics and are known to be mischievous creatures. Viewed as the lesser creature by it's non-human brethren. While most fey are not very powerful physically they excel in magic; they have a very good memory and some can identify traces of magic "residue" left behind by other spells. This race is weak against physical attacks and strong offensive magic. They tend to live a few decades longer than humans.
★ Vampires - Considered the second oldest living race (alongside humans) but is few in numbers. There is a lot of bad blood between vampires and shifters but humans have never really been very trusting of them either, most even fearing or hating them. They are weaker in the sunlight. They are never born, they are bred. Blood must be swapped and even then only about one in every few hundred will become a full vampire. They will grow hungry if they do not feed for periods of time but this length differs from vampire to vampire and depends greatly on their age. The older a vampire is the less blood they need. They live from two hundred to seven hundred years. The blood of shifters is poisonous to them.
★ Shifters - A species who are nothing more than normal humans until they come of age. Once they do however they bond genetically with the first animal they come into physical contact with, gaining the ability to change into that animal at will. They are highly allergic to some metals, the most severe of these being iron; their skin will burn where it comes into contact with any such metal. It is not uncommon for traits of their beast form to carry over to their human form, and it is extremely rare for them not to have any resemblance to the animal they turn into.
★ Merfolk - A species of the sea who have adapted to live on land among the other races. They for the most part look normal, but some may have visible fish-like features proving their lineage. A few change physically only when in the water. They must have contact with purified lake water or the ocean at least every three days or their skin will begin to dry and crack. In cases of extreme heat or loss of water they will die.
