Terrans;
Terrans are a well-rounded, versatile people, with many shades of grey, but few extremes. Terrans are fairly simply put, human in form. Commonly between 5 and 4 feet tall at adulthood, Terrans have a wide variety of body types, tending towards an athletic build. Most Terrans have tan skin, often with darker freckles on the face, shoulders, arms and legs. Their skin color varies from fair to swarthy, but never pure white or black. Most Terrans tend to have earth-toned hair, ranging widely from almost-black to sandy blonde. As a Terran gets older, their hair slowly fades in color, never becoming white, but instead taking on pastel hues. Terran eyes range from green to violet, with tones of browns and hazel in-between. With such diversity, comes many forms of personal identification. Hair dye and piercings are fairly common, but scarification and tattoos are not; and are often related to rebels, criminals, and violence.
Elemeis;
Bestial form and great in strength; the varied elemeis are competent warriors, strong and proud. Elemeis are humanoid in form, but often with digitigrade legs, snouts, and other mamallian animalistic features. though they can tend to have different forms, such as a more feline or canine face, their are of the same race, and can interbreed without trouble. Some clans have tails, though it's considered a somewhat uncommon trait. Almost all Elemeis have strong, well-defined bodies, with hard, toned muscle. They have four fingers and an opposable thumb on their hands, with four toes on their feet. Their entire body is covered in fur, under which they have skin which often follows the pattern of their coat in tone, but tends to be lighter, with pinks and tans instead of browns and blacks. Most Elemeis have short fur covering their entire body, as well as hair on their head, which ranges in color from completely black to forest brown, to pure white, but never green, pink, blue, or purple. Eye color varies, but is often brown grey or gold, with blue being very rare. Fur-dying is relatively common, and many tribes use ritual scarification as a rite-of-passage. The scars cause changes in the patterns of the relatively uniform fur, and can be made into rather intricate designs.
Ijosai;
Ijosai are lean, with wiry muscles. They tend to be taller than Terrans, though not by much. Other than that, they are rather humanoid.Their skin is often pale, the color of alabaster, rarely with any blemishes or marks. Their hair is often varying shades of green, blonde or brown, tending towards lighter, pastel tones. They rarely have any visible body or facial hair. An Iljosai's eye color is actually determined by the season they were born in; green for spring, yellow-gold for summer, orange for fall and deep grey for winter. It's very common to see flecked or speckled eye color, and the color can also change if they live in a climate with one season. Iljosai often dye their hair to suit the seasons, all the better for hunting with. Their tattoos are often naturally inspired; organic curving vines with seed-pods, leaves, and flowers, or dark, hard lines of dead branches.
Mortei;
Mortei have stocky, humanoid bodies. Though they tend on the short side at 4 to 3 feet, they are well built, often appearing "thick." Mortei have pale, grey-ish skin, which is tough and surprisingly hard. Mortei tend to have dark, ruddy hair, which is often very curly. Mortei eyes often are black, brown, or dark red, and shine when light hits them. Motei often have luminescent tattoos, which glow with a pale, ethereal light in the darkness of their homes. this can be surreal in many Mortei cities at night; filled with ghastly, glowing images moving about eachother.
Nafrin;
Weaker than some, but smarter than most, with an inventiveness that seemingly knows no bounds. Tending to be somewhat thin, and short, Nafrin don't have bodies necessarily built for heavy labor. Nafrin have uniquely-colored skin; blues and purples are most common. As a Nafrin ages, their skin color lightens. Nafrin have cool, light-colored hair, though white and grey hair is not uncommon. As a Nafrin ages, their hair darkens. Nafrin have unique eyes, with black sclera, and bright purple, silver, blue or green irises. Often, tattoos will be of great personal significance and practicality; measuring scales, unit conversion charts, and arcane lores are very common, often on the arms and hands.
Tengu;
Hailing from high mountains, the Tengu are solitary, philosophical, and often very honorable. Tengu have humanoid bodies, with digitigrade legs, and taloned feet and hands. They posses three fingers and one opposable thumb on their hands and feet. They have hardened, bony plates on their noses/faces, resembling a beak, but also posses lips and teeth. The bony plates and talons are often the same color, or similar, and can change based on diet. They are most commonly black, yellow, grey or deep roan. Their body is covered in a layer of feathers, under which is a rubbery, skin. the skin is often grey or black, though there are sometimes variations. A Tengu's feathers cover their entire body, with crests of long feathers often forming on the forearms, as well as their head, neck and back. Their hands and feet are uncovered, revealing their skin. Their feather color is often black, white, and grey, with some grey-brown. Tengu eyes are somewhat unnerving, with dark, mottled brown sclera, often almost black. Blue, grey and white are common eye colors, with gold being much rarer. Traditionally used in battle, ritual paints and dyes are a form of personal identification, signifying one's personal status, including wealth, and the region one hails from. Most Tengu will dye their own feathers, though in formal settings, they are often dyed by a professional.
Davein;
The sewn offspring of outsiders, the Davein are often equal parts swarthy, comely, and charming. Davein are similar in form to Terrans; though they are rarely fat or thin. Their bodies are often somewhat lean, with few harshly defined muscles. Davein have fairly tan skin, though darker tones are not uncommon. Rarely, their skin will be night-black. Their hair is most often black, thick and very glossy. It is not uncommon to see straight, curly or wavy hair, though it is somewhat rare to see a Davein with much, or any body or facial hair. Davein have cat-like eyes, which are often bright, almost neon colored. Red, orange, and yellow are the most common colors, though rarely they have black eyes. Davein rarely have any kind of tattoos or markings, but tend towards tribal or maori-like tattoos. Piercings are not uncommon, but scarification is.
