HISTORY--

Jinkord




RACES--

Orcs-

Orcs can be found deep in the moutains. They can be found together or alone. They are strong, powerful beasts that can kill many in just a couple swings.

Appearance: Orcs' appearance can be different, they have many skin colors, going from light green, dark red, dark blue, and light gray. Orcs' eye colors range from red to blue, green to yellow, but they are all neon and emit light. Orcs are commonly atleast 6'5 to 7'5. They usually have jacked up teeth and hair that can only be colors on the greyscale. They are massive, buffed, and ripped.

Personality: Usually Orcs are very agressive towards other beings. Some are gentle giants, but most of them are not. Even though some are not hostile, they are still stereotyped as so, and get a lot of racism from other races. They are generally not very smart, but make up for what they lack in intelligence in strength.

History: Humans and Orcs have been in a small war for ages, humans and orcs don't accept  each other's kind. After many years of fighting, the Orcs retreated into the moutains, where it's hard to reach. Many of the Orcs went their seperate ways into the deep moutain range. Through out the whole moutain range, lay mysterious and eerie Orc caves, these caves consist of one or two Orcs, though one is most common. Orcs had their rebellion on the humans after settling, the humans finally took down many Orcs, leaving them to rot. Orcs have then developed a rivalry towards humans, how they have gotten their nasty, agressive personality. The Orc's day commonly consits of fighting, sleeping and feasting. Orcs' diets are made of meat and very few fruits.

Racial Ability: Orcs are almost completely immune to pain. They may feel pain if it is extremely intense. And just because they are immune to pain, does not mean they are invincible.

Vampirism (More Like a Sickness?)-

It is presumed that Vampirism is a race, but it is more of a sickness. The ways it spreads is either giving birth to a child whilst you have the sickness, or from another vampire . They can suck the blood from a dead or alive creature to gain a slight buff. If a vampire goes a few days without doing this, they will start to feel weaker.

Appearance: Vampires are a nocturnal race, meaning they usually rest in the day, and stay indoors, and go out at night. When they do go out, during the day, they appear to be almost fully white. At night, they appear to be slightly taller, almost three inches taller in height. They dislike heat and light, so they wear lighter colors that absorb the least heat. They have pale yellow eyes, and usually have an mysterious look in their eyes.

Personality: Vampires usually leave people in the dark about their secrets. They are also sometimes shunned because people have a large fear of being bitten by one. Vampires do not mean harm most of the time, but since a few have left bad marks on Jinkord, they are stereotyped to be extremely bloodthirsty.

History: Vampires were originally found in 1247 when a lone farmer got bit, and reported his findings and his sickness. After this was released, Vampires were hunted to extinction, but were they really all wiped? Humans quickly realized fire was the Vampires' biggest weakness, and started using torches against them.

Racial Abilities: Vampires become more buff and strengthen during the night, as well as gain a resistance to cold. But they also become more vulnerable to light and heat, meaning it could be easy to kill one with fire.

Lycanthropes-

Lycanthropes are born Lycans, but there is a .1% chance that a baby will have the disease. It starts taking effect at 13, and they start to transform on full moons.

Personality: When found in human form Lycanthropes have increased senses and have a urge to hunt. They also have animal like instincts and urges. When in beast form, they forget about their surroundings and attempt to kill anything living nearby, unless they know their target well enough to back down against them.

Appearance:  Lycanthropes when in human form normally have brighter eyes then a normal human. In human form they sometimes have more hair then usual. Lycanthropes also can be identified in human form by acting weird like a dog or wolf. When Lycanthropes are in 'Werewolf Form',  they are covered in hair and there mouth or muzzle is shaped like a wolf. Their eyes are normally a dark red. When transforming, their clothes are ripped off and left in tatters where they transformed. Lycanthropes are usually found without clothes, if after a transforming night. Meaning once they return back to human form they are found naked, or mostly naked.

Racial Abilities: Lycanthropes have increased senses and strength when in human and Lycanthrope form. When a Lycanthrope is transforming into Lycanthrope form it is a painful process. As they are  transforming, Lycanthropes' muscles, bones, skin, ETC is evolved to a point where they take the shape of a true Lycanthrope. Lycanthropes have the ability to create true wolf howls and communicate with wolfs. They also have clear vison at night, and even in human form, they have better senses when they have moonlight touches them. They also can retract their claws, but only at night, when they are in Lycanthrope form.

Lizorgans live in dark, mysterious caverns and caves, spending their day sleeping and defending their homes. Lizorgans barely travel anywhere, even to hunt as they don't get hungry often. They store fat in their tails so they can regurgitate and live off of the fat stored for a large timespan.

History: Lizorgans are said to be far reletives of dragons, but they lack the wings and intelligence that the dragons do.

Their teeth are snake like which holds that venom. When they spit or bite and the venom gets in contact with a being, they are gone for.

History: Elves are known for being highly interactive with animals, as well as good at taming them. Their love for animals makes them vegans in everyway (diet, clothing, ect.). They usually don't respect people who don't care much for nature and hurt it, such as humans, but do respect those who do like Kal'e'dians. With the ones they respect, they form trades and give them peace, such as they have a trade system with Argiles. Argiles and Evles' trades system consists of the Argiles giving them swords and bows and the Elves returning with crops and plants, due to Elves being very handy in archery and swordsmanship.

They are rather laid back and like to have a good time while working rather then having a strict and serious method when doing work. They don't have the highest personal space due to them living underground. Their usual driving forces in life are to create and express themselves, and get depressed if they can't.

History: It was said in the past they were put to work underground to make a mass production of weapons. Doesn't mean they didn't ever take a break to fight, their skills with weapons made people fear to challenge a fight with them, even heard they could summon weapons away from opponets. Ever since they formed their own community and culture underground and happily live there. They believed in an open-concept work place when working and still follow that rule.

Racial Abilities: Due to them working with around fire and the heat so much, it is rumored that they are near/completely fire and heat immune. Their talent for engineering brings them into a high advantage for inventions and innovations.

Factions:

The Holy Trinity:

The Holy Trinity is a religious faction believing that Magic itself is a deity, that grants powers to those who it believes are loyal to Him and are full of courage. The Holy Trinity will only accept you as a member if you have the gift of Magic. Those who believe in the religion of the Holy Trinity will capitalize Magic and will follow the path it may guide them through. The Holy Trinity and Mages of Jinkord are strongly linked together, as they both have a strong connection to magic.

The Holy Trinity founded Jinkord back in 400, only having a few supporters. They met the race of Kal'e'dians, who had been the natives of the new land. They gained followers, and started up a democracy. One member of the Holy Trinity, of each race, would speak for their kind. They would gain info from their kind, and yes, even the Lizorgans, and bring it back to the group to agree on how certain laws would work out. The democracy had gotten to be somewhat corrupt a few times, but it was quickly worked out.

There are some who don't follow the religion, and although it used to be seen as a crime, riots had gotten fairly out of hand, and so the democracy of the Holy Trinity made it legal to not believe in their religion. The Holy Trinity gets hate from lots of people, and have their falls sometimes, so they are not the 'perfect' angels that they set out to be, but they sure strive to keep that image. They will also not accept former members of the Red Robed Mercs.

Red Robed Mercs:

The Red Robed Mercenaries were founded on September 8th, which is known to be the day in Jinkord which most crimes happen. No one knows the exact person who founded, or currently owns the faction. All races are allowed, as long as they pledge their allegiance to the Red Robed Mercs and are truly loyal to the faction. When pledge your allegiance to the Red Robed Mercs, your eye color slowly changes to red.

In the process of the pledge, you must say: "I pledge myself to be loyal to the Red Robed Mercenaries." And whilst saying this, you must not make any mistakes or to repeat it. You may get a certain urge to wear red, if you wear a visor and red clothes, then people will question you, as it is known for the Red Robed Mercs to have this sort of attire. The Red Robed Mercs have caused a bit of hate for the color red.

Red Robes Mercs are a mercenary faction, meaning that they accept money from clients to do their bidding. They will not accept unreasonable pay for this, but they are known to go to the extreme to get the job done, fully, completely, and without a trace. Red Robes Mercs tend to be secretive when it comes to questions, and talk slowly, making sure they make no mistakes as they are talking, so the other person believes them. They also use their hands a lot when they talk, and look straight into the other person's eyes, to show they have their full attention. As the faction grows stronger, so do the people in the faction. This faction hates others, knowing they are usually the most hated faction, due to them being 'nasty' killers.

Mages of Jinkord:

Mages of Jinkord are faction of all races, mostly made up of humans, which believe in the power of magic. They think magic is the wisest choice to use over a weapon and believe it should be only for self defense purposes. Inner balance with oneself is how they think full magic can be obtained, so people of this faction are seen meditating in their spare time. The wiser and experienced also can teach newcomers, as they see that a person taught magic is a person safe for life.

The faction was started off during the early 800s by Richard Expleious. Expleious was rumored to have mastered all standard magics and tried to teach people to have them all. He soon realized no one can master it and it was wise to stick to one magic per person for an internal balance. Sanity filled his mind and he deeply regretted learning all the magics. By the time he had finished his third, he had become weak and frail, unable to even try and pick up a piece of bread. By the time he learned the last one, he passed away, missed by many of his students. The Holy Trinity saw this and made it a law to only host one magical ability at a time. And, as people have tried to learn more than one, it was learned to be impossible. It was said that an anonymous Holy Trinity member used an ancient spell preventing the law from being broken.

Qui Carnes:

Qui Carnes consist of many races in which they believe in the practice in eating each other's races and their own race. They are said to be set up in an abandoned Argile tunnel where they hold their gatherings to eat. They tend to be loyal and respectful of ones in Qui Carnes, but if anyone were to mess with them, they would have them on The List. The List is a list of people they should kill and eat, and once you are on The List, it's hard to be removed and have an almost guarranteed death.

No one knows the exact date they were formed, but it was said to start in the late 700s by an anonymous Argile, who loved the taste of flesh and believed that it would give you powers, but this was simply a lie to get people to join him on this quest to kill and eat. People in the past have tried to stop this faction, but anyone who would speak a word against them suddenly dissapeared. Ever since people have referred to them as the "Unmentioned Group" and are scared to talk about it, keeping their distance from this faction.

Disbelievers of Magic (commonly referred to as Disbelievers):

Disbelievers believe that using magic is a sign of weakness and races should admire their own strengths without the use of it. They think magic is just a cheap way to make weak people strong and would be useless without it. They also believe that magic may someday go wrong and will cause a major disaster.

As soon as Richard Expleious' disaster had happened, this faction kicked off and many people began joining, seeing magic in a way that villainized it. Some even started having raids on the Holy Trinity, and the Mages of Jinkord. They are still a known and important issue, so watch out for them if you are a magic user.

Jinkord Buccaneers:

A known pirate faction, famous for their saying: "It's not law breaking if you set your own laws." They are the usual drunken pirates, said to wash up on the shore occasionally or for years at a time. A few retire from the life because of lost limbs, or terrible injuries. They usually sink ships that seem to be full of loot or ran by richer people. Unless the opposite ship surrenders, they will just kindly take your loot and belongings, which is a known rule for them, as they don't want to cause any damage they can avoid.

The pirates are known to be extremely sarcastic or humorous, even when about to die, which causes a lot of anger issues when in battles. Nobody knows exactly when they popped up, but it was in the recent years. They have ships full of loot and love to brag about it.
