i have seen many, MANY differerent races in NS and would like to see if anyone would help me in compiling a factsheet of every race I possibly can.

Races or Nationalities or Ethnicities?

Big differences...

The organic units within the DDS (a.k.a. citizens) are bipedal sentient lizards.

ooc: I haven't named them yet

I mean specific races and their stats(av. height, weight, etc.) which I will later post as an (almost) complete list to help people when they rp and to help choose a race when they start to rp.(if people submit their species races then i will do races on a species by species case)

BUMP

The Most Serene Republic of Xenieze is populated by short brown people who like to play soccer (no not mexicans).

edit: I realize that might have been taken by racist, but c'mon thats what all y'all was thinkin

(Sorry but I do not have a remarkable race as such. Come on people, put some effort into this!)

Xenieze, then sign up for the NS-World Cup!

Rejistania is inhabitated by Melanesians.

post your species stats and i will compile them into a big list(if their short brown people, then post their stats(av. weight, height etc.)

There is already a Race database thread out there, I'll try to find it (If it hasn't been removed do to age.)

would you rather your nations people be a form of animalperson then you could choose from this list

WEll I could give stats for the Zoir. The Zoir are an ancient bipedal bearlike space going race prehaps the oldest race in the galaxy and have been in space 120,000 years. Theres a lot of history behind Zoir RP wise but I won't go into that unless needed to.

Stats

Height: 8 to 9 ft
weight: 400 pounds
Eye color: Brown
Fur color: ranges from brown to white.
Specal:The Zoir Amtsosphere contians gases that are concidered to poisionious gases, to humans and other races that live in earth like eviroments. While Zoir have the teeth to be carniverous they are in their eating habits omniverous.

Post your stats like zoir has, a tiny bit more detailed than that though.

Zoir, could you post what their eating habits are(herbivore,omniverous,carniverous)

Dbl

Name: Sakkran
Geno-type: Reptilian
Average height: 7' to 9'
Average weight: 400 to 700 lbs
Extremities: 2 arms, 2 legs, semi-prehensile tail
Dietary leanings: Omnivorous
Sakkrans have two rows of seerated teeth, quite sharp and nasty. Their claws are meant for digging through stone, and as such are not used to scratch in as much as punch through material. Each hand has two thumbs. Nostrils are located on the top of their head, suggesting aquatic ability. Eyes are located on opposite sides of the head, and can move and focus independant of each other.

As you can see, the male posseses a crest on the top and rear of his head. The female has a dewlap that extends from her chin to her chest. These are used to convey emotions, as well as other things.

perfect Sakkra!

Manucian: A mix between an elf and a human.
Avg Life span:150-200 yrs
Avg Height: 5ft 7inches
Avg Weight: (avg human weight)
Extremities: 2 arms 2 legs
Diet: Omnivore

Build much like a human, but the beuty and grace of an elf. Most have very light blond or very dark black hair. Unlike the elves the manucians posses little or no magic powers, only the magic that lets them live so long. This species once thrieved in GMM with the friendship between the apancian elves to the west, the atarian tree elves to the North East and the Marcians in the centre, but now are nearly extinct thanks to more crossbreeding, some departing the region and problems in their homeland.

Hyrule has many different races/types of people creatures living in its vast land.

Hyalins
A human
Avg life 60-90 years
Avg Height 5'-6'3
Avg Weight 150lbs

Hyalins make a majority in Hyrule and they are also a majority of the countries government.

The Kokiri
Elf/Human
Avg life 900-1500 years
Avg Height 4'6-4'11
Avg weight 70-100lbs
The Kokiri are elf like people that stay in a child body for their entire life. They grow older but they do not look older at all. They look like they are about 10 even when their 1000. Kokiri have very little political power in Hyrule as they rarely leave the Kokiri Forest which they inhabit.

Gorons
Umm who knows weird creatures that eat rocks
Avg Life Unknown
Avg Height 5'-5'5
Avg Weight Unknown
Avg Weight 200-250lbs
The Gorons live in Hyrule's northern mountains mostly near the volcano Death Mountain. They have nothing to do with the government as they keep to themselves and eat rocks all day. Although they were once hostile towards outsiders they now enjoy visitors.

Zoras
Fish people
Avg Life 60-80 years
Avg height 5'7-6'6
Avg weight 175-225lbs
The Zoras live in Hyrules oceans, rivers and lakes. They also live on land. They have the second most power in the government as they have very good relations with the Hyalins. The Zoras are also incharge of all of Hyrule's water supply. They ensure everyone in Hyrule gets the best water possible.

The Gerudo
The Theives and their humans
Avg Life Unknown
Avg Height Unknown
Avg Weight Unknown
Very little is known about the Gerudo except for that the majority of them are females. They once lived alongside with the Hyalins and other populaces of Hyrule, until they had become very out of hand and robbing almost every store and mall in the country. The King of Hyrule had to banish them and their leader/King of Gerudos Ganondorf Dragmire off to the Hyalin Desert. They have been living there for about the past 30 years. They have very little contact with the rest of Hyrule. They are almost another country within Hyrule. All that was known a few years back when Hyrule's King last had contact with them is that they wanted to take over and change Hyrule. The King had just laughed at them and said haha that'll never happen. But it did and very recently Ganondorf and his theives tookover Hyrule and the northern neighbor forming The Dictatorship of Hyrule-Termina.

Right now New-Hyrule is located on an island in the Kingdom of Hyrule where we are trying to come up with ways to take back the rest of our Kingdom from Ganondorf. He has turned our once beatiful kingdom into a dictatorship and a wasteland. Hopefully someday peace will be back in Hyrule and the Gerudo forces will be destroyed and banished from Hyrule.

Name: Spacer
Phenotype: Humanoid
Average height: 1.9-2.5 meters
Average weight: 55-65kgs
Extremities: 2 arms, 2 legs, 1 head
Diet: Omnivorous
Spacers are posthumans adapted for a null-g environment. Besides alterations with an obvious benefit, such as prehensile toes, larger lungs, lower distribution of internal organs, greater temperature tolerances, and resistance to cancer, null-g life has led to increased height and decreased muscle and bone mass, and radiation side effects have produced pale greyish skin and large dark-colored almond shaped eyes in most citizens. Though this is more a societal alteration than a biological one, as normal humans can accomplish it as well, children are trained almost from birth to consciously control the dilation of their pupils.

Borg: Cybernetic race that specializes in assimilating new species, making them Borg as well. What the new Borg drone will look like and what capabilities it has are heavily dependent on the species and habits of the base creature, since the transformation will attempt to fortify their strengths and lessen their weaknesses. The majority of Borg drones are specialized units, and new drones can be manufactured quickly if there is a need, but growing minds takes a lot of time, and the number of minds is a greatest limiter on the Borgs power.

All Borg can communicate mentally wit other Borg over a variety of protocols, but that is the only thing all Borg have in common.
Typical features however include black armor, energy shields, the skin turning slightly grayish from the nanite in the drone, limbs replaced with specialized tools, strengthening of muscles, tendons, bones, and skin, hardwired reflexes, etc

Most Borg are a mix of organic and machine, but the line between the two is very blurry thanks to advanced nano-tech and a staggering amount of diverse species.

The Borg classify themselves into three distinct categories, not based on the original body, but upon the capabilities of the mind;
1) No-Body: These minds are the least common, but among the most powerful, they are unable, or only able with severe effort, to control a drone body. These minds include several dedicated AI's, and ‘The Primary Consensus Monitor and Facilitator', essentially the top of the Borg government.
2) Standard: These minds are capable of controlling one or more bodies at the same time, and they have a free choice of most standard body-types with only a few exceptions. The bulk of the Borg are of this type.
3) Restricted: These are like standard but with severe limits on the types of bodies they can control or other limitations. The most common example of this are the Dragons, they cannot last for more than a few minutes without controlling a dragon body, though most dragons are able to control several other bodies while they control their primary dragon body. It is interesting to note that most non-dragon minds are unable of controlling a dragon body.

The Borg produce new bodies primarily through cloning, but new minds are primarily acquired through assimilation.
There are several major races within the Borg collective, here is a quick overview of the most common:

1) Humans:
Often regarded as a lesser race humans still have their own strengths that are quite valuable to the collective, Humans excel at using multiple bodies for the same task at the same time, as long as the task isn't to complex. This makes them excellent work coordinators, and they form the backbone of the industrial might of the Borg empire. Human bodies are also among the easiest and cheapest to manufacture which means there are plenty of spares should a body be lost to an industrial accident.

Avg Height: 1.67m
Avg Weight: 100kg
avg body: basic humanoid

2) Elves:
Elves are generally the more magically potent and agile, as well as having much keener senses than most other races and their bodies are not very hard hard to manufacture, though significantly harder than humans.
2.1)Drow: Generally acknowledged to be the strongest amongst the elves, Drow bodies generally preform the role of light infantry and scouts, while Drow minds are often engaged in diplomacy, research, and scouting.
Drow bodies are dark skinned, and they tend to have silver white or blond hair colors.

Avg Height: 1.88m
Avg Weight: 70kg
avg body: pointy eared humanoid

2.2) Other elves: Both minds and bodies are often used as weapon officers, pilots, and other areas where a good reaction time and keen senses are useful. The mixed elven races (excluding the Drow) also form the artistic core of the collective.

Avg Height: 1.81m
Avg Weight: 58kg
avg body: pointy eared humanoid

3) Dragons:
There are many kinds of dragons most tend to be armored juggernauts with reinforced scales, teeth and claws, built in weapon systems, a vast repertoire of magical spells, and usually at least a Borg Cube as escort. They are the main power of the army, even though there are only ten of them at the moment. Their bodies are extremely expensive to produce, still over 200 bodies have been produced, the highest ratio of bodies to minds in the collective. Their very presence causes most armies to flee in terror, and their scales resist most weapons with ease. Standard military doctrine suggest sending in a single dragon with a boomer escort and one or more cubes in orbit. Whatever the dragon can't eat is big enough to be hit from orbit by the cubes.

Avg Length: 100m
Avg wingspan: 120m
Avg weight: 70 tons
Avg fly speed: 150km/hour (endurance) 750 km/hr (sprint)


There are many more races in the collective, most notable, boomers, catgirls, androids, Insectiods, and many many others but I'm too tired to finish the writeup for them now.

Justitian Ministry of Health Report

The natives of Justitium are human and make up the vast majority of the Justitian population (approximately ninety-eight percent). The smaller immigrant population is itself mostly human, the majority being comprised of refugees fleeing foreign wars or oppression by their native governments. These come from several nations, most prominently Um Lizaa, a territory of Iraqstan.

Justitian natives generally have very pale skin, dark hair, and dark eyes, although blond hair and green or blue eyes are not unkown. The other average physical characteristics for the ethnic group are as follows:

Average lifespan: 87 years (89 for women, 85 for men)
Average height: 5',10" (5',8" for women, 6',1" for men)
Average weight: 160 lbs. (150 lbs. for women, 170 lbs. for men)

One may note that Justitian men and women are more physically alike in terms of these measurements than would be so among most other ethnic groups. The cause of this uknown, although it has been postulated that the phenomenon is due to the equality among the sexes traditionally afforded in terms of occupation and socio-economic status.

Humans, of various races-Average height for males-5'8, females-5'4
Elves-Males-6'2, Females-5'8
Dwarves-Males-4'0, females-3'5
Hobbits-Males-3'5 Females-3'0

Those are just the heights for the ones who live in my nation, other nations with these races could have differences. The humans have various skin colors and hair and eye colors. The elves all have pointy ears and gray eyes, but some have long brown hair and some have long blond hair, both male and female. The dwarves all have long dark brown, wavy hair and the men have long dark brown beards and dark brown moustaches. They all have dark brown eyes. Hobbits have red, light brown, or dark brown curly hair, and blue or grey or brown eyes.

Average life span:
Humans-Males:85
Females:90
Elves-Males:1,000
Females:1,500
Dwarves-Male:350
Female:400
Hobbits-Male:130
Female:140

Average Weight:
Humans-Male:160 pounds
Female:120 pounds
Elves-Male:140 pounds
Female:110 pounds
Dwarves-Male:150 pounds
Female:130 pounds
Hobbits-Male:145 pounds
Female:125 pounds

Elves are very lithe and thin and graceful. They have keen hearing and sight, they are highly intelligent and revere and love nature. They are in general a peace loving people, but they can be dangerous when provoked. They are artistic, and tread very lightly, without being heard. They usually live in forests. Dwarves are stocky and they lumber around. They are rough and fearless on the outside, and can come across as insensitive sometimes, but deep down they are kind and they are very loyal to their friends. They usually live in caves where they can mine to their hearts content. Hobbits are innocent and childlike and they have big hearts. They love life and are passionate about it, and enjoy good food, good drink, and a good smoke. They are kind of stocky too. They can also walk very lightly, though not as lightly as elves. They usually live in hobbit holes in the sides of hills. Since my nation is a modern one though, all who live here pretty much live wherever they want. All groups of races live harmoniously among one another and are treated as equals.

The elves speak elvish, both quenya and sindarin, the dwarves speak dwarvish and the hobbits and humans speak english, though with differing accents and variations on words. Almost everyone in the nation knows how to speak english though, so when humans, dwarves, elves and hobbits communicate with one another, english is the language they use.

I have a very diverse and mixed human population majorioty. I also have a small Elf minoritie,

OOC: There are a number of races in Dar-Kavryn, including some very unusual ones. I will post information on a number of them as soon as I have time....

Donari:
The most common race in Dar-Kavryn, and the dominant element of the government. Donaris are basically human, but they have been living in an area of high magical energy for many generations and have developed a natural energy shield that protects them from attack. The strength of these shields is dependent on a number of factors, most significant being occupation and physical/mental strength. (OOC: basically, like people in many computer games that have a number of hitpoints).
Degral:
Height usually ranges from 5' 6" to a bit over 6'
Lifespan- about 90 years, longer for royalty.
Weight- 200 to 300 pounds
Basically human in appearance, but with longer arms. Their skin, except on the head, is naturally decorated with an assortment of runes and symbols. Their eyes glow, and change color to show the Degral's mood.
Chon-v'ker:
These are energy beings, capable of showing themselves as virtually any image.
Average lifespan: 500 years.
Shadowdancer:
Average height: 8"
Average weight: 325 pounds.
Average lifespan: 275 years.
Shadowdancers most closely resemble large, animated skeletons, though they do have skin and some flesh (not zombies. They're alive, and look it.) In dim/no light they are surrounded by a yellow glow.
They are incredibly fast, and have the ability to move through stone and other solids like water, but quite rare.
Brownie:
Average height: 6"
Average weight: very small.
Average lifespan: 20 years.
Appearance: very small humans. (Like those in Willow).
They are noted for their exceptional climbing ability.
Kanveri (also called Living Statues):
Height varies widely; usually between 4 and 20 feet.
Average weight: very large.
Lifespan unknown.
Creatures formed from stone. Most Kanveris are basically humanoid.
Dragons: many variaties; statistics vary widely.
There are many other races in Dar-Kavryn, but these are the ones recorded in the most recent census attempt.

Valerians (Human)

Male Statistics

Avg. Height: 6'4"
Avg. Weight: 194.7 lbs.
Avg. Lifespan: 87 yrs. (due to lesser tech in MV, it's at 68 yrs. at the moment)

Female Statistics

Avg. Height: 5'11"
Avg. Weight: 143.1 lbs.
Avg. Lifespan: 90 yrs. (due to lesser tech in MV, it's at 72 yrs. at the moment)

General Description/Information
Common languages: Valerian, English, German, French, Greek, Italian
Skin color: Fair to Olive
Hair colors: Black, Brown, Dark Blue
Hair textures: Curly to Wavy
Eye colors: Either dark or light in the Violet, Green, or Blue spectrums
Avg. family size: 6 Children
Builds: Light to Medium

Valerians are an odd lot of people, being perhaps the only race of humans that may have violet eyes (although green and blue are much, much more common). Valerians populate the realm of Magnus Valerius and speak Valerian, a dialect that is rooted in Germanic and Greek origins. Another few noteworthy characteristics of Valerians is that they are very prolific - having large families is commonplace - and they are a people of proud tradition in the military, their culture, their ideals, and their industry/agricultural produce. The Valerians may also be found in many other countries, as they tend to migrate due to the burden of an exponentially increasing population; there are at least 12,000 Valerians in Telliria, and an unknown number of Valerians elsewhere.

http://darkness.diabloii.net/beastiary/normal/hellbovine/hellbovine2.jpg
Species: Hell Bovine (Infernus Bovinus)
Height: 2.05 metres (promedy)
Weight: 1 ton. (promedy)
Category: Mammal, bovinoid
Social Structure: Ecotopia, strange mix of marxism, enviromentalism and direct democracy
Habitats: Tropical Rainforests
Languages: Mootish and Spanish
Basic Description: Originated in the distant world of "Diablo 2", nobody knows for sure how the hell bovines arrived to our world, but their legends claim a miracously instantaneous teleport.
The true fact is that Hell Bovines are a very proud, intelligent and independent race. Their basic diet is the vegetable, in its form of hay, tropical fruits or grass.
Warnings: Hell Bovines are one of the friendliest races of the world, however, there is a major warning. When talking to a hell bovines, it is extremely recommended not to mention steaks, meat eating or Mc'Donalds. These subjects are the only things that can turn a hell bovine, otherwise a nice creature, into a psychotic bastard.
Another conduct not recommended is to wear leather in front of them.
