Racial Options - Character Generation

Post by Zombilicious »

Gorth asked the other night about getting the Nuum specs, and I had this list because I am a big nerd who likes to pre-create my characters while they're in the hopper, so here is a break-down of the various things you can pick for various races while in Character Generation. Things such as body type, hair texture, hairstyle and eye style are shared across all races, with the exception of a few builds such as hulking, which is reserved for Giganti, and a scattered few others that Rias has not let me know about yet. I also included the descriptors for height as I could remember them, but don't quote me on the Very Short and Short ones.

Mixed race characters with two racial heritages get the union of hair, eye, and skin colors (any from either) and the intersection of homelands (only places the two cultures have in common). I think... it's been a while.

That's correct as far as I know. For instance, a half-Rhuidim, half-Viali wouldn't be able to be from Ivial because Rhuidim are not allowed to live there, despite Viali being able to.

Something not documented is Hillfolk also gain the 'diminutive' build type.

To add to my previous post, oh so long ago, all of my known racial differences that are not documented follow (all four of them):

- Hillfolk get hairy feet, always. Even if you are half. viewtopic.php?p=4562#p4562
- Hillfolk get access to the 'diminutive' build.
- Giganti get access to the 'hulking' build.
- Nuum cannot have curly hair. Woe is me.

Clarification, because I forgot to do this almost two years ago.
- Five foot = Very short.
- Five foot and a quarter to half = short.
- Five foot and three quarters = average.
- Six foot = tall.
- Six foot and a quarter and up = Very tall.
