WELCOME TO CHARACTER CREATION - PART 3 - Races

There are nearly endless combinations of different types of races and classes people can and will be interested in playing. Here on IMVU i find myself amazed sometimes by the creativity some people put into WHO their avatar is and that is very refreshing, but at the same time, here in Kallidyr we must govern this accordingly. There are many races and classes and each one has specific guidelines, abilities and rules to follow to play that type of character accordingly. WE WILL do everything we can to integrate some of the more creative mystical creatures but know now that certain cross breeds will just not be acceptable. You can discuss this with the goverment official during your appointment. You may wonder why we are taking the time to provide you with descriptions of races you most likely will not play as. Well it is likely wether you play these characters or not, you WILL encounter them as NPCS if not as PCS so with all that said -=drum roll=-.....let us move on to describing some of the different races and classes available to play here in the world of Kallidyr. On to it.

RACES:

HUMANS: The MOST common of all races and also the one people are least likely to want to be from what we can tell in our time Roleplaying on IMVU. Humans though, are truly unique as they are THE ONLY race that doesnt have any restrictions on what they can be or how powerful they can become in their chosen class. Also for the most part humans tend to be the one race that is most accepting of other races. It is not uncommon for humans to mix with elves, dwarves, halflings and others with little complaint, at least in comparison to some others as we will get to. These things said it is easy to see why the human race is so far spread and also such a significant power in the world.

DWARVES: Due to IMVU limitaitons in body types at the moment it is unlikely we will see any dwarven characters...well at least not yet...Kallidyr has a strong presence in the developer community and is working toward bringing new body types and heads to IMVU to broaden all of our choices. Therefore i will describe these short stout beings to you. Dwarves are short , stocky and are easy to pick out due to their appearance. They are usually between 4 and 4 and 1/2 feet in heigh and average lifespan is around 350 years. They tend to have very sour personalities but are known for being very hard working beings. They are not prone to having much of a sense of humor and not very tolerate of those that try to be funny. Most dwarves are strong and brave for the most part. They tend to be big drinkers of beers, meads, ales, and other alcoholic beverages. They have a true love for precious gemstones although seem to dislike pearls. Perhaps this is due to the fact that they dont like the ocean. Dwarves ARE NOT fond of elves in the least and they harbor hatred for orcs and goblinkin. They cannot ride horses or large mounts due to their body type but can ride ponies. They are not a race that is magical in anyway so very few dwarves have any kind of talent in this area. Dwarves do love fighting and building as well as being true miners of the earth by nature. Dwarves tend to enjoy living underground usually in mountainous regions. Dwarves have a very healthy breed and this gives them some protections agaisnt things that affect health. They also posess infravision and can see in the dark. Dwarves also have special abilites when traveling underground such as being able to detect possible hazards and traps that may be ahead of them.

GNOMES Gnomes(also limited by available avatars) are kin to dwarves and are noticably smaller in size and girth but they make up for this in nose sizes. Most of the time they sport dark skin and white hair. Lifespan is the same as dwarves 350 years. They are very opposite to dwarves in humor. They are lively and have slick senses of humor. They enjoy playing pranks on others. They are also gem lovers and are highly adept at cutting at polishing the precious stones. They try to live in areas free of humans and they are very suspicious of larger beings like elves and humans, although unlike dwarves they enjoy the surface and like rolling hills and wooded areas. They also have no natural abilities with magic but are also highly resitant to its effects. They can also see in the dark using infravision and are exceptional tunnelers. They also gain underground abilites of detecting traps and dangers when trveling underground. They tend to be very curious creatures and sometimes lead themselves into dangerous positions dus to their undying curiosity.

HALFLINGS It is entirely possible to pull off a halfing in 3d if you are creative enough to do so. They are short sometimes plump little people, resembling small humans. There are three different types of halflings, those being tallfellows, stouts and hairfeets, the hairfeet being the most common of the three. Hair tends to be curly and they have hair on the tops of their feet. They avoid wearing things on their feet and usually live to around 150 years. This little race is generally very peaceful and usually keep to themselves. They enjoy creature comforts and good living as much as they can. Not overly brave and not very adventurous, unless of course it suits there need to make coin to provide more luxuries. they live in burrows but seem to be no strangers to the surface at all. In fact most of them go about their business on the surface everyday. Halfings in general are a very well liked race by humans and demihumans alike. They are highly resistant to magic and poisons. They seem to have a natural abiltiy with missle weapons. Wether they have infravision will be decided by your official as not all halflngs possess this ability. These beings get a good chance of sneaking around and being able to suprise attack.

Now that we covered all of that let us move to the category that will most likely be of interest to you Elves and Mystical Creatures.
