Your custom races.
« on: June 06, 2014, 11:55:59 pm »

People to often use resort to the old set up of humans, orcs, elves and other cliches for races in their games. So here you can post your own races you made, or use them in your game.

I suppose I'll share one. This is one that I help developed for a project of a friend a mine.

Ne-Fureur:

Fureurs are not alone in the world however. Their race is paralleled with another, the Ne-Fureur. Not merely an foil for the Fureur, these womenfolk represent the other half of the Fureur race. Unlike their brotherfolk, the Fureur, the Ne-Fureur are far more gentle and relaxed in nature. They live together in small communal societies, tending to each others needs and brushing each others hair with their unnaturally long fingernails.

Like the Fureur, their blood is imbued with certain traits however. Their blood is antithesis to that of the Fureurs; their blood causes a person to enter a state of catatonic blindness. Consumption of Ne-Fureur blood leaves the drinker dead to the world, their senses relaxed to the point where nothing can wake them from their state of unconsciousness. Too much blood consumed will cause immediate organ and brain failure, making their blood positively lethal in high doses. Used correctly however, their blood can counteract the poisonous effects of Fureur blood, restoring a person back to a calm state if the antidote of Ne-Fureur blood is administered quickly.

However, unlike Fureur blood, Ne-Fureur blood is rarely consumed. Rather, it is injected by the fingernails of the Ne-Fueur like a syringe. The amount of blood released in the manner is more than enough to kill a healthy young man in a matter of seconds if the nails reach an artery. This process can be painful for the Ne-Fureur, so they only rarely perform such a task outside of pacifying a mate.


Family Relations:


Despite first appearances, both of these two peoples represent a mating pair. It is the right of passage of a young Ne-Fureur to go out and find a suitable Fureur and pacify him via forced transfusion of blood from her fingernails. The Ne-Fureur blood pacifies the blood of the Fureur, causing it to lose all power. A similar effect is exacted upon the Ne-Fureur, causing their blood to normalize as well. Once this is done, it becomes nearly impossible to identify them as their past race. However, problems will arise upon having children; as any children that the Ne-Fureur mother will be touched by the Fureur curse that manifests itself upon adolescence.

At this time, young male Fureurs will become too much for their parents to handle, and they are often abandoned to keep them from harming others. Any young Ne-Fureurs will leave the society of her parents to join a society of her peers; waiting and training for the day that she may find herself a Fureur husband.

The circumstances of a Fureur being born a female and a Ne-Fureur being born a male are both extremely unlikely circumstances, but past incidents have been recorded where the traditional hierarchy has been flipped.[/spoiler]

I'm just gonna re-post this from my Guntarctica thread.
Sure, they may be just mutant dwarves and elves (and humans I guess) but who cares? They're mine.

I've got a few I've been working on for a while. They're part of a world I've been trying to build a natural history for, where everything fits somewhere on the evolutionary tree. No pictures ATM, though.
