   High Elves: the few elves that were found to be immune to the corruption, High elves now rule over their corrupted kin, High elves were often very powerful mages, but do to the corruption have lost most of their magic around 2% of the elven race is made up of them.

Dwarves: The deep dwellers are among the least affected by the corruption, the few who are corrupted are known as Gealtach by the unaffected, and used as beasts of burden.
   Gealtach: between 4 and 7 persent of the dwarven race is made up of the Gealtach; Gealtach are large apelike beasts between six to seven feet tall, they are normally between three to five feet thick, but some larger ones have been spotted.

   Trolls: Trolls have Thick skins and regenerate at an alarming rate, but are even less intelligent than Orcs.
   Ogres: Large Two headed behemoths that use magic, Ogres are more intelligent than Orcs and rule over the Hoards, but are rarely spawned by the brood mothers.
   Goblins: Smaller than Orcs, Goblins are more intelligent than Orcs and hold a place as the creatures that fix everything when it gets broken.
   Brood mothers: Often Called the Queens of the Orkoids Broodmothers are the Only Females within the Orkoid Race.

The Dmattue: Those that did not leave the old lands are now known as the Dmattue; they have taken the forms of beasts and hold hunger for the flesh of the uncorrupted, they fall into two groups; the Shadows, and The Hunger...
   The Shadows is a Tribe of Dmattue, they are mostly Snake, and Rat based and focus on Poison and Stealth based tactics, they live mostly below ground and in the old world’s ruins.
   The Hunger is a Tribe of Dmattue, they are mostly Ape, Cat, and Bear based, they focus on Brutality and Raid based Tactics, they live mostly above ground.

Name of your force of worship: Acter
His/her Spheres: Improvement and Protection
Description: The same Acter that you all know and love (to screw over )

Spoiler: This fire's blazing, we're trouble-making, we caught you shaking, ready-set, ready-set let's go. (click to show/hide)

Your Name: Saraket the Red-eyed
Your description: Tanned, moderately tall. Thin, but strong. His left eye has been replaced with a blood-red copper-and-ruby mechanical eye. His right eye is wholly black. His pistol and sword are always ready.
How you came to power: Saraket started from the bottom, a camp guard for a small, weak group of bandits. He did his job well, but there wasn't much room for improvement. Then, another cohort of bandits, led by a then up-and-coming chieftain, came and took over, with a clean assasination of the old chief and thereafter swift takeover of the leaderless mob. The new leader promoted people on merit, and he saw something special in Saraket - a spark of true intelligence and leadership ability. He slowly cultivated the boy - for he was, then, still but in his teens - up to the point where Saraket was in charge of three of the tribe's 27 settlements. He had a knack for inspiring loyalty and the fulfillment of potentials, with a reputation of being exceptionally fair, if somewhat humorless. Then, disaster struck when the bandit lord was slain in a battle with another powerful horde; with their old leader dead, the tribe was thrown into disarray, breaking into pieces led by the five people who had previously been the hands of the old chief. Saraket was not one of them. However, as the power-hungry warlords fought, Saraket waited. One died, then two more. The last two agreed to a duel. They were waiting for each other at noon. So was Saraket. One warrior died in the battle; the second in the ambush. When Saraket returned to where the bandits had been awaiting their new chieftain, he declared himself their new ruler. Under his leadership, the Clan has grown from a simple band of thieves to a true civilization, albeit a young one. The lands they hold are home to farmers, miners, traders and more. They may be frightful to outsiders, but for those that belong to it, The Clan Protects.
What are you: Man of the Mountains

Spoiler: THE CLAN PROTECTS (click to show/hide)

Civilization name: The Clan
Location: They wander, but their home base is at the border of the Mountains and the Forest.
Civilization Race(s): Whoever gives their pledge.
Strength of laws: The official rules are light, and most are enforced primarily by honor. However, there are four key commands, and woe betide those that disregard them. 1. If any member of the Clan requires protection or assistance, you will provide it. 2. You will not kill a member of he Clan. 3. You shall not keep secrets within the Clan. 4. Anyone commanding another must take responsibility for the actions of those they command.
Type of Religion: The Clan is bound by loyalty and shared ideology, not by race or religion. You can find worshippers of nearly all gods amongst its ranks, and though few are irreverent enough to pay naught but lip service to their patron, fewer still can be counted among the truly faithful.

Name of your force of worship: The Great Shielder
His/her Spheres: Health and Strength
Description: During the dark and cloudy days, the Deep Dwarves encountered a large, massive breach in their defense lines against the abominations of Morte Regis. Many died, and few had hope, until a band of steel-equiped warriors from an unknown Deep Dwarf Clan stepped up. They charged into the mass of the creatures, saying « Health and Strenght, long live the Great Shielder ! ». They fought for several days, until eventually they all died, allowing the remnants of the Deep Dwarves to rebuild their defenses. Some saw this as a set up from an obscure sect, other ones said that this was a miracle. The new cult rised, and elite « Shielded Ones » are the guardians of the Faith. They need to be where the creatures of dread are, to shield their people toward their steeled weapons and armor. The Great Shielder is represented as a perfectly shaved Dwarf wearing a shield and the head of a former beast of Chaos.

Great Paladin

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Your Name: Great Paladin Sparke
Your description: Perfectluy shaved and bald, a true Shielded One. His great shield and his mace are the inventory of his faith, so is his steel armor.
how you came to power: Leader of the Warrior Cult known as the Shielded Ones, Sparke was in many fights throughout his little life. Protecting the mountain passes of his people from everything, from traders to monsters, he has seen every form of battle. He is somewhat agile, and is a very good sprinter. He is not as strong as the other Shielded Ones, but has a quick mind. He is often pissed with everyone, but keeps it cool until he bashes the head of the impudent with a mace. He is very charismatic, and the other Shielded Ones elected him to the rank of Great Paladin, making him one of the most powerful Dwarf…in his clan.
What are you: Deep Dwarf !

The Shielded People

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Civilization name: Shielded People
Location: Border Mountain
Race: Deep Dwarf
Strength of laws: Traditionalist and Xenophobic. They have a law code, and the Shielded Ones are bound to bash the head of those who breaks it. They do not accept every one else in their community, even their fellowed Deep Dwarf.
Type of Religion: Craftdwarf, Workdwarf, Mushroom growers, even Herdsdwarf, they all have beard and hair, and lived happily in anarchy in quiet times as they were very few. Indeed, they do not like mountains, and prefer to live outside, near passes, making them more vulnerable. The Sect of the Shielded Ones came : those selected are shaved and must fight until they die. No other religion is possible since no other living being is tolerated. They are self-sufficient, and they became xenophobic and somewhat obssessed with survival and defense of their kind. They trust more the Shielded Ones than their God, but are happy nontheless with their faith. Three times a day, all the people on the narrow and few streets of their village must scream « Health and Strength » ten times, with the Shielded Ones beating their shield.

Description: The same Acter that you all know and love (to screw over )

Ooh, an in-joke.

So instead of introducing himself each game Glass just references the metagame now? I wonder if I did this.

Since both GMs play RTDActer they'll get what I'm talking about.

[Glass]

Ooh, an in-joke.

Mostly just easier to tell them that it's the typical Acter than to describe him again. Y'know,

Since both GMs play RTDActer

and other games where I've actually played as the guy.

[piratejoe]

PTW, also might join, but not sure how custom races work or really what I'd really make/do atm.

[darkwarlock3]

for custom races you pm me or abe about their traits and other fluff about them, me and abe will debate whether to or not let them in.

[Robotala]

I might join, but right now I'm just posting to follow.

[Jilladilla]

So. Here is my sheet, after having my custom race approved... Err... Darkwarlock, would you like me to post that here in the thread? But yeah, no time for more coherent fluff. Might fill it out more later. But most of it would be pre-corruption history fluff that might not matter in the end... Hmm...

Spoiler: THE FRIEND OF CAVES! (click to show/hide)

-Name of your force of worship: Cavefriend
-His/her Spheres: Deeper Earth, Magic
-Description: Usually depicted as a massive Pale One with an obsidian staff, he was considered the progenitor of the race in times past, although he has very blatantly denied this on one occasion.

Spoiler: The Last Ancient One (click to show/hide)

-Your Name: Twothought
-Your description: Being an Ancient One, Twothought is massive in stature, towering over most others; Twothought possesses immense wisdom acquired over his long life, and skill at magic as well. Twothought typically carries a staff, although he also carries one of the Obsidian Glaives that the most elite fighters wielded...
-How you came to power: Pale Ones traditionally were ruled by a Closed Council, ran by the most accomplished of Ancient Ones... With the destruction of this Council, Twothought was a logical choice as a leader among the survivors being the only Ancient One left. Of course, him leading said group outside their ancestral caverns that have so recently turned into a deathtrap contributed.
-What are you: Ancient One (IE, a really old Pale One)

Spoiler: The Legendary City Which Lies At the Center of the Earth... Now a bit ruined and abandoned... (click to show/hide)

-Civilization name: Agartha
-Location: Mountain Border
-Race: Pale Ones
-Strength of laws: Heavy. While not quite the same as a barbarian group, there is something similar to 'Might Makes Right', after all, the nation was formerly ruled by a Council of the most experienced and powerful mages before the Corruption struck, and now Twothought, whom is both the largest and magically experienced Pale One alive leads the survivors. Still, there tends to be fairly little infighting; life in general used to be far to placid for that; and the Council were usually fairly competent rulers. In general, everyone is expected to fulfill their roles in society.
-Type of Religion: A magocracy; almost all mages pull double duty as priests, and almost all priests have some degree of geomantic magic. An overwhelming majority of Pale Ones worship Cavefriend in some manner, although some worship other great spirits of the caverns and earth. They're generally uncaring over what one worships; but finding a Pale One that worships something that is not associated with the earth is very rare indeed.

[CaptainSparke]

Needless to say that you have played Dominions a bit 

[Rahx]

Well here is my take on using the beard men with some tweaks.

Spoiler: Earths metal (click to show/hide)

Name of your force of worship: Eltanin, The Core
His/her Spheres: Earth, Nature
Description: A entity that resembles a red hot circular object encased in a Swiss cheese metal liquid that floats and bends around. It is further covered by rotating stones and earth containing trees and/or roots that revolve around it. Those that follow Eltanin are closely related to druids who accept advancement while preserving the land.

Spoiler: For rocking hard (click to show/hide)

Your Name: Garth Stone Beard

Your description: A once was dwarf who had to be bound with a elemetal of iron that he had spent time refining it into steel. He seeks to improve this situation even further with the aid of his other genius Dwarves, Gnomes, and the other Elemetals.

how you came to power: He was your usual dwarf druid performing his duties until combat with a dangerous creature rotted away his limbs. While he was successful in his last gamble, involving iron being shoved down to its belly and then using his power to force the metal out of its stomach, he was completely crippled. He had spent time manipulating the earth to push him out of the underground for what felt close to a year. Once he reached back up to the surface he screamed up to Eltanin. In response Eltanin spoke to the crippled dwarf and spent time with him on the forest floor; eventually taking pity on the dwarf for his efforts. When Eltanin departed a seed of a earth elemetal was put into Garth allowing him to form out of the materials around him. When he returned to his home he was held up as a prophet from the circle of the druids of Eltanin and is seated as a leader for his people.

What are you: Half Dwarf half Elemetal

Spoiler: Now for the crew (click to show/hide)

Civilization name: Earthened
Location: Mountains
Race: Dwarves, gnomes, and elemetals - earth elementals with more metal than earth attached to them. (Replacing the dwarf subrace of gealtach)
Strength of laws: community focused with reverence to the religion's recorded laws of Eltanin.
Type of Religion: Mostly separated from church and state unless absolutely needed.

[Glass]

We've got four guys. Is that enough for us to start?

For that matter, are any of you guys who've posted but not made civs going to join?

[crazyabe]

It should be a good minimum, but seeing as how I'm currently not in a position to force the other gm into writing up a first turn. More civs are always a good thing however as it gives us something to throw in when someone inevitably drops the game.

[Glass]

Also, I notice that everyone except me is some variation on "subterranean".
I guess that's Bay12 for you.
