Race List

[Oerba Yun Fang [The Desperado]]

This is a list of all the playable races on the forum:

---

Aegyl—A hume resembling race, with the exception of the large wings coming out of there shoulders. The wings come in a variety of colors, and allow the Aegyl to fly, however, the strain that they put on there bodies, reduces their life spans. The oldest recorded one was just 40 years old. All aegyl so far show the same kind of behaviour and are rather cold and aloof. Whether they are incapable of showing emotions, or do not feel them, is still called into question.

Al Bhed—Possess an extremely close likeness to their hume brethren, but they possess uniquely swirled pupils. All recorded Al Bhed have green eyes and Blond hair. Al Bhed are the most expressive with their emotions and body language. Al Bhed have a keen interest in old technology sometimes organizing slavage operations and excavations for ancient machinery.

Antica—Ant-like in appearance, these Beastmen are nothing much but are known to possess a hive mentality. Upon birth they are assigned a job and a number, they work that job for the rest of their lives. The antica have no emotions, or any recorded sense of individuality, so they unquestioningly obey all orders of their leader.

Avatars—These celestial and terrestrial beings can sometimes be called forth by summoners. Celestial avatars cannot die, but terrestrial avatars can, it is suspected that celestial’s cannot die is because they are tied to an element.

Baknamy—These creatures closely resemble humes save for the small horns atop their heads and their green skin. Oxyen is poisonous to them, so they must wear filtering masks to survive. They are surprisingly powerful for their size and capable of using magic quite proficiently despite their low intelligence.

Bangaa—A lizard-like race, they are the most physically prominent species to date. Because of their reptilian appearance, it makes it quite difficult to distinguish the sexes from each other. It is considered a racial slur and worst insult to call a Bangaa a lizard. Strangely enough the Bangaa can grow facial hair. It has been recorded that the Bangaa’s are separated into four sub-branches. The Bangaa Ruga (yellow-brown skin), Bangaa Faas (bronze skin), Bangaa Bista (Copper-colored skin), and Bangaa Sanga (ash colored skin). There are also mix breeds.

However they describe it as ‘becoming conscious’ as an abrupt event, as if coming out of a daze, and develop their own personality.

Bugbears—Slaves bred specifically for guard duty and manual labor. Their arms, legs and hearts have been physically enhanced, giving them prodigious strength.

They have a high sense of honor and pride and often look down on other races but co-exist and are peaceful. The Duskwight Elezen live in caves and caverns, they have acute hearing, they are mostly reclusive and resort to robbery and pillaging to survive, earning the scorn of their wood relatives.
