Races.

[404]

This is where information regarding the different races goes.
If anyones up for writing decent descriptions for the main races (i.e Human, Moogle, Elf, Dwarf, Bangaa & Shumi.) i'll edit them into this post.

Also any other ideas for the races should be submitted here.

Human:
Look like... humans.

Though they prefer open regions and a temperate climate they love to travel and one can find their settlements all over Eizon.



Moogles:
Moogles are small creatures, generally only a few feet tall with white fur, purple/red/pink wings, and a red "pom pom" - a red ball of fur on a wire - emerging from their heads, which they are very sensitive about being touched.

Moogles can be found almost anywhere both in their own villages or mixed in with others.


Bangaa:
They have long faces, scaly skin, and tough limbs. Due to all these factors, the Bangaa are physically the strongest race in Eizon.

Apart from physical differences, their intelligence and manners are not very different from those of Humans with perhaps more focus on battle/mercenary work and trade, less on expansion and conquest/government. However, some Humans hardly like them and speak about them by using the racist insult "lizard". Males and females are difficult to distinguish until their voice is heard.
Bangaa prefer warm/desert regions and hate the cold.




Shumi:

Shumi are a race of short humanoids that share many mannerisms with Humans. They are completely bald and have long arms and fingers. An adult Shumi normally grows to only 4 feet tall but they are surprisingly strong for their size. Their lifespan is slightly shorter, being usually around 50 years. Also, a Shumi's childhood is very short, having only 2 years after birth before reaching adulthood.

Shumi tend to live in underground caverns but can be housed practically anywhere, similar to Humans. The race specializes in mining and artistic talents, as well as being skilled merchants/traders. They are extremely localized, however, only leaving the immediate area to trade or research new technologies.

The Shumi are considered a collective tribe and the tribe is lead by 4 Elders. If an Elder expires, another Shumi evolves to take their place as a new Elder. In general, the Shumi dislike war and politics and tend to ignore talk of such things. Most refer to themselves in the third person and by their station (Sculptor, Musician, etc.).
