  1.  
  2. Human: Humans are known for being unique in that they adapt to their environment and vary from person to person. They’re quick learners and capable of being a jack-of-all-trades, however a human rarely masters anything as quickly as other races.
  3.  
  4. Stats: Humans begin with +1 to any ability score, due to their varied nature.
  5.  
  6.  
  7. Sylvari: Sylvari are short humanoids that are often tribal. A typical Sylvari human will reach around 5 feet at his tallest, though taller isn’t unheard of. Most often, Sylvaris are olive or dark skinned, but there are several tribes of Sylvari whom are white skinned, while their hair ranges from pure white to sandy blonde. Sylvari often have tribal tattoos to signify their tribe.
  8.  
  9. Stats: Sylvaris gain +1 WIS and +1 DEX, -1 STR. Though witty and agile, the Sylvari aren’t frontline fighters.
  10.  
  11.  
  12. Vensenti: Vensenti characters are distant relatives to the Fey that lurk within the mists of Ormanal. They’re often as tall as a human, and have flamboyant shades of red to show off their heritage. They’re known for their lifestyle of indulging themselves. They’re also known for their bouts of emotion and rage, and some say a drunken Vensenti will result in all hell breaking loose. Common Vensenti’s look like humans, but with beautiful eyes and bright colored hair.
  13.  
  14. Stats: Vensenti gain no additional point to their ability scores. They make up for this in abilities.
  15.  
  16.  
  17. Sylvan: Sylvan, or “Wood Elves” are a breed of elf that commonly dwell in the wilds. They, like most of their elven brethren, trace their heritage back to magical entities. Despite living in the jungles or forested areas, Sylvan communities are very sturdy and hardly tribal at all. This impresses other races in their skill to be at one with nature. Sylvan have the trademark, pointed ears. They also often have olive or tanned skin accentuating their darker hair and eyes.
  18.  
  19. Stats: +2 DEX, -1 STR. Sylvan elves are swift and coordinated, but frail.
  20.  
  21.  
  22. High Elf: The High elves, or Highborne, is a race of Elf that take on a more civilized and magical approach to things. Though High elves do feel at home in nature, they do prefer more urban environments. The Highborne are often pale or white, with blonde hair and light colored eyes ranging from blues to greens.
  23.  
  24. Stats: +2 INT, -1 STR. High Elves are naturally brainy, but frail.
  25.  
  26. Dwarf: Dwarves are stoic and stern fellows. The Dwarven race is known for being hardy and strong, and their hard workers spend time mining. Dwarves seem to favor earthy tones to their clothing, their hair is often darker shades while they average 4 feet tall -- yet weigh as much as humans.
  27.  
  28. Stats: +2 CON, -1 WIS. Dwarves are hardy, but unwise.
  29.  
  30.  
  31.  
  32. Half-Orc: Half-Orcs are the result of a union between human and Orc. Most of the time these poor creatures are a result of violence, not a loving, blossoming relationship. Most Half-orcs have the two enlarged teeth(or tusks) their Orcish parent does, they also typically have green skin and black hair.
  33.  
  34. Stats: +2 STR, -1 INT. Half-Orcs are strong, but not so bright.
  35.  
  36.  
  37. Half-Elves: Half-Elves occur with a union between an elf and a human. Though these unions aren’t often made with violence, the trysts are very rarely long lasting. Half-Elves often appear with slightly less pointed ears, and resemble their parent elf and human accordingly.
  38. Stats: Half-Elves get +2 points to spend due to their varied nature. However they subtract 1 point from strength.
  39.  
  40.  
  41. Halfling: Halflings, sometimes referred to as “Hobbits”, are short humanoids that stand only up to 3 feet tall. They’re known for their uncanny luck and inner wanderlust, but most Halflings prefer casual or comfortable living conditions over adventure and danger.
  42.  
  43. Stats: +2 DEX, -1 STR. Halflings are swift, but feeble.
  44.  
  45.  
  46. Urugans: Urugans are humanoids that are seen as savages. They are often hated as much as the Orcs, but their lack of care over anything but themselves is what truly makes them hated. Urugans appear as crab-like people, with mandibles and chitin.
  47.  
  48. Stats: +1 STR, -1 WIS. Urugans are strong, but unwise. They begin with abilities to make up for their weakness.
  49.  
  50. Ascerian: Ascerians are humanoids with light blue skin, with clear colored veins that pump colorless blood throughout their body. Their eyes are often light blue, and glow lightly with power.
  51.  
  52. Stats: +2 INT, +2 WIS, -2 CON, -1 STR. Ascerians are strong in the mind, but weak in the body.
  53.  
  54.  
  55. Orc: Orcs are savage greenskinned brutes whose strength is only matched by their arrogance and attitude. They are known to rip their victims limb by limb, yet, fortunately in this world, there are some orcs who can keep their heads from such savagery.
  56.  
  57. Stats: +3 STR, -2 INT. Orcs are strong physically, however, weak mentally.
  58.  
  59.  
  60. Goblin, Adrian: Goblins of Adria are wily fellows who are widely respected throughout the planet as merchants. They’re known for being an inventive race, and unlike their Orcish cousins, more on the peaceful side.
  61.  
  62. Stats: +2 INT, -1 WIS. Adrian Goblins are intelligent, but lack common sense.
  63.  
  64. Catfolk: Catfolk are exactly what their name implies. They commonly keep themselves excluded from other civilizations, and within jungles or forests. Common features on a Catfolk include fur along the body, a tail, cat-like ears, and even a set of claws.
  65.  
  66. Stats: +4 DEX, -4 STR. Catfolk are agile and swift, but frail and weak.
  67.  
  68.  
  69. Kobold: Kobolds are lizard-like humanoids who proudly trace their heritage back to dragons. They see themselves as deacons to their near-god cousins, and are greatly proud of their heritage. Kobolds stand at around 4 feet tall.
  70.  
  71. +3 DEX, -2 STR. Kobolds are swift and agile, but weak.
  72. Goblin: Goblins are savage greenskinned creatures that are closely related to orcs. Although smaller, they’re just as savage, and quite possibly, just as stupid. Goblins are known to be ferocious and attack anything in sight, just for the thrill of the kill.
  73.  
  74. Stats: +2 DEX, -1 STR, -1 INT. Goblins are swift, but weak and rather stupid.
