[Race Competition]

So I've been thinking about our current setting and the kind of peoples and races contained therein. We all know about the Novustrals, Celisians, and Kracians. When I made this Rp forum though I had in mind to have more than three races populating the game world. Of course some would be stranger than others, some bordering on being non-human. And if you find yourself in a situation were your creation isn't human that's fine as well, but make it somewhat related to humanity. I'll be putting up a beast competition next week for things that are too out there to be considered human, so just keep that in mind if you come up with something awesome and save it for later. Keep in mind that these "Humans" can have various lifespans, features, cultures, pretty much anything you want. So have fun! There is a template you can us below.

Agility: Valyrns are not sprinters, and are easily outrun because they become short of breath quickly.

Rituals: Marriage and divorce do not exist.
Holidays: They do not celebrate holidays or birthdays, but have many parties in the absence of these celebrations.

History: The Valyrns originally evolved from a group of small people who moved to the island in exile. Where these ancestors were from was never recorded, but the Valyrns themselves have not fought in wars, for they always retain neutrality as a nation.

Species: H. Adipiscor.
Genus: Homo.
Family: Hominidae.
Order: Primates.
Description: The Faelites are born in sets of two characterised by male twins. They are almost always born to an unwilling mother and have a particularly short gestation period, from which another pair of twins are born. They are born with an extremely good ability to learn and expand their knowledge of the world. Usually Faelites are born with blond hair and blue eyes, but it can change due to the race from which they were born. They are muscular and take on some of the traits of their mothers race to blend in enough to mate again. In summary the Faelites live for almost nothing more than to make more Faelites, and they spread extremely quickly. This coupled with the fact that they are extremely resilient to harm, makes the only thing keeping them from spreading out of control the Durgans and their low longevity.
Average Height: 6'0 Is the average but one male is always slightly smaller than the other.
Average Weight: 160 lbs. See above.
Hair Colors: Light Blond, Blond, Dirty Blond, Red, Brown, Black.
Eye Colors: Blue, Dark Blue, Hazel, Green, Brown.
Skin Complexion: White, Dark, Brown.
Hardiness: Faelites have a very good immune system and are very resilient to physical damage. They can live everywhere their prey live, which constitutes most living hominids. Wounds that would disable normal Celisians would only hamper Faelites, although this hardiness is balanced out by the short amount of time they live.
Strength: Faelites are of an average strength depending on how much work each independent Faelite wishes to put into becoming stronger. Although some Faelites can become stronger than others and the average Celisian, by being born to a stronger hominid. Taking on characterisitcs of their mothers stronger race.
Agility: Faelites are rather good at running and getting out of the way of things. They are born with great stamina that only increases with age, and then in the later years begins to dwindle again. Faelites can become very good fighters and use this to their advantage while trying to take a mate.
Intelligence: Intelligence is something that Faelites in no way lack, they are very good at learning new things and implementing them into their lives. Although some things they can not easily comprehend, like the thing other raises call a "Conscious". Since they operate coldly and without mercy, often mistaken for just running on basic instincts. They make calculated and well thought out decisions. Not only do they learn quickly but they have a genetic memory, knowing the things that many past generations knew. Making them extremely dangerous.
Reflexes: They are almost twice as fast as normal humans when it comes to reacting to visual stimuli. They can see, hear, or feel something and act quickly and efficiently.
Longevity: Most Faelites live three to five years, although once in a great while Faelites will be born as triplets. The third baby can live for up to fifteen years, but his children lack the quick gestation period of his brothers.

= Culture and Civilization =
Origins: No one knows exactly where the Faelites originated from including the Faelites. Some guess that they are descendants from the Celisians ancestors from long past, but this has been discredited due to their extremely strange nature.
Language: Faelites are able to quickly pick up the languages that their mothers know. They are also born with a genetic memory and automatically know their races ancient language. And any other language that their ancestors from a few generations back might have learned.
Advancement: Faelites are as advanced as the civilization they are born into.
Lands: Altarra.
Diet: The majority of the Faelites diet consists of meat, although plans will also be consumed. Faelites have a disposition for the meat of other human races and hominids. Some speculate that they need the flesh of others to live, but nothing has been proven.
Mating: Faelites find a strong female of the race they were born into, or of a race they are near. Once they find a strong smart woman they get her alone and rape her, leaving the area slowly there after. The woman becomes pregnant and gives birth after 3-4 months to baby twins. These twins will reach maturity within eight months and are capable of mating after four.
Family: Faelites run away from home at an early age and don't have a family life. The only people Faelites are loyal to are other Faelites, especially their brothers. They are known to go through extreme measures to protect each other and make sure they survive.
Stereotype: Flesh Eating Rapists.
Religion: No one knows if the Faelites have a religion, if they did though it would be dark and sadistic.
Morals and Ethics: They treat each other with respect especially the smaller brother to the larger. Although when it comes to relations outside of their own kind, they are thoughtless and cold, unless it is to their benefit to play a role.
Rituals: The only ritual the Faelites seem to undertake is the consumption of human flesh.

Name: Dashkin a.k.a. “Biteys”
= Physical Information =
Species: H. Dashkrunis
Genus: Homo. (*snickers*)
Family: Hominidae.
Order: Primates
Description: Humanoid; have never truly been observed in the wild, more seen then disappeared. They possess a mane covering their heads entirety, leaving only their eyes to be seen, mouths if open. They have a row of extremely sharp teeth, thus they are carnivorous, mostly feeding on smaller animals within the shared habitat. Atop their heads are 2 horns, sizing different between males and females. Their torsos and arms are almost identical to humans, having only minimal hair across them, as well as the muscle make up to match, leaving their evolution to be questioned. Below the waist though, they’re covered in hair down to their feet. The knees of these beasts bend back, more like the back legs of a horse, but their footprints have shown evidence of toes and claws rather than hooves of any sort.
Average Height: 5’4
Average Weight: 140lbs
Hair Colors: Dark brown, black, blonde.
Eye Colors: White.
Skin Complexion: Very pale skin, shown to be a consequence of being nocturnal.
Hardiness: Shown to have an extremely strong immune system from what they’re known to eat. They live almost anywhere that water is a commodity. While appearing as human, they heal much quicker from lacerations, bruising and internal damage such as broken limbs and organ trouble.
Strength: Not much muscle mass shown, appeared to be more lean muscle than pure strength and size. Weaker than any Celisian, but about the same in terms of Kracians.
Agility: Extremely agile and quick, they can outrun even some horses. The woods seem to be their main grounds, as they can navigate the terrain easily, dodging trees and other obstacles in their path without so much as a hint of trouble, even at their sprint. Obvious links to their reflexes as being “superhuman.”
Intelligence: They possess no more enhanced technology than simple machines, but have a greater grasp on knowing nature and land. They are aware of weather patterns and animal migrations as far as Celisians have ever explored and possibly beyond. They seem more animalistic than human though, holding no real art in their civilizations.
Reflexes: Extremely good reflexes, being able to make any Celisian soldier look foolish trying to catch one. Also have great coordination- having unbelievable balance while moving on uneven surfaces such as cliffs or mountain regions.
Longevity: The oldest on record was 60 years of age.

= Culture and Civilization =
Origins: Evolving from common ancestors of the Kracians, findings from anthropological sites have shown evidence they have been around Altarra longer than the Celisians. Being true natives of the lands show as a major possibility as it would explain their knowledge of the world.
Language: They rely on roars, growls and chirps in their language, showing no understanding in our own common. Conditioned though, they can understand certain words, but haven’t the vocal abilities to pronounce them, a step they lost in evolution.
Advancement: They are very simple, living in small huts made of mud and branches. They also possess no weapons of any sort, hunting with their own claws and teeth.
Lands: They remain in the temperate parts of Altarra, not being able to withstand the colds of the extreme north or south. While living in such a wide area, their small tribes have never been found due to their nocturnal habits as well as them not seeming to want being seen. While they choose to remain a mystery to us, our questioning them only grows stronger.
Diet: Having extremely sharp teeth, they are carnivorous as stated above, though a flat part on the back of them shows that plants can be devoured as well.
Mating: They show to have no more than a birthing relationship with the opposite sex, females caring for the young one as the males are only used to produce them. No interspecies breeding has been seen or recorded. It is believe to never happen, especially with the skittish behavior of these creatures around other intelligent species.
Family: A mother-cub relationship is around since birth, the mothers caring for their children until complete maturity. The fathers are more just for conception than having a part in their offspring’s life. They tend to stay apart from the families, but the entire family is always within one of the tribes.
Stereotype: Nocturnal Goat People.
Religion: None Recognized.
Morals and Ethics: One dominant Dashkin is usually in charge of the tribe. Dominance seems to have a strong correlation with the size of their horns. Now while all get along inside their tribes, the chieftain is the one who organizes migrations to follow their food sources as well as the weather, keeping the tribe safe. They seem quite playful within their small societies as well as within the woods and other animals. One was witnessed “throwing rocks at a bear then running away from it’s victim.” They seem to be “pranksters” with their own kind.
Rituals: None Recognized.
Holidays: None Recognized.
Architecture: Simple mud and wood huts to live in, otherwise none. They are home amongst the land and have almost no real “buildings” of any sort.
