The Races

[Loony BoB]

Humans, from Earth. Suited to open terrain. Averagely suited to everything else.
Elves, from [planet]. Suited to woodland terrain. Not suited to deserts. Averagely suited to everything else.
Dwarves, from [planet]. Suited to mountainous terrain. Not suited to the wetlands/seaside. Averagely suited to everything else.
Ingmarians, from Aiyon. Suited to desert terrain. Not suited to cold weather. Averagely suited to everything else.
Luscervans, from [Luscerva?]. Suited to wetlands/seaside terrain. Not suited to hot weather. Averagely suited to everything else.

At least I think that's about right. But yeah, these are the races that were taken from the five worlds, there are no other races in this world. Feel free to help me out with where the Elves/Dwarves were taken from. And yes, Nait, that's what they are and that's what they're called.

[Nait]

Damn you, BoB! DAMN YOU! >:O

[Loony BoB]

You could call them something different? They could have more than one name, of course. Much like Ingmarians could also be called Aiyonians or Aiyonlings or something like that. Probably Aiyonians. I never really thought about that before.

... Fine. I will fight this! You will suffer this affront to nature, as you see the crumbling pieces of your atrocity, "Elves and dwarves" crumble around you like beds of chalk into the righteous sea.

xD

you funny.

[Flying Mullet]

Why do the other races need to come from other planets? If all of the races are humanoid it's very believable that each race adapted to it's environment over time, similar to evolution.

[Nait]

I say it went like this: We have humans, humans travel to other dimensions, humans evolve.

Humans reunited, humans no more. Humans elves, humans dwarves.

Damn, this thing sounds more and more like Kahdeksan. >:O You idea-thieves!

[Proxy]

do we get to pick what race we (as leaders ) are?

They're not from other planets. :P

do we get to pick what race we (as leaders ) are?

Absolutely. We're not restricting everyone to just humans. Though, if you choose to be other races. Depending on what region you selected, you may choose to be another race recommended for the certain region you selected. Say, if you choose a desert region, you may want to choose Ingmarians as your race, as they're more suitable for the desert setting of the region. Other races are fine, but you may want to choose the best race most suitable.

[Cz]

They're not from other planets, eh? Does this work on some sort of Multiverse idea, then?

How will the races interact with each other? Will Dwarven leaders only have dwarven followers, or will settlements combine a number of races? Will all humans be on the same side, or will there be feuding groups within races?

[Flying Mullet]

Humans, from Earth...
Elves, from [planet]...
Dwarves, from [planet]...
Ingmarians, from Aiyon...
Luscervans, from [Luscerva?]...

[Nait]

Planets suck! Other universes suck! One universe, five races! >:O

On a side-note, if I can't have multicultural hegemonies, I'm not playing. >

[Agent Proto]

That's just BoB's doing. Seriously, in this, treat them as if they're not.

Humans reunited

Other universes suck

I dub thee Sir Contradictalot. But you are right.

[Nait]

I dub thee Sir Contradictalot. But you are right.

Where is the contradiction? I said other Universes suck, but they have their uses. Besides, it's not the JUMPTHEPORTAL scenario presented somewhere here - my multiverse is a slow, historical process, where the dimension serve as... Geographical barriers, that lead to ecological and finally evolutionary barriers between the races, subspecies and whatnot.
