    I would love to have a Hylotl, but they're jerks. I think back-stories could fix this. They could be player-made or there could be 5 or so options. Example: Hylotl: Jerkbag, Not-A-Jerkbag, Missionary, Trainee, Criminal. (They would be more complex, but they could also be player made).

    What would these back stories do? Can't we just make them up right now, in real life?

    They would affect wether or not the Hylotl character looked at everything snobbily and so on.

    I didn't realise that characters had an attitude, spoke for themselves and had view points within the games mechanics?

    They do. The different races look at everything as a normal/bad guy of their race, except Glitch, Apex, Avian, and possibly Floran. The Hylotl look at everything they don't own in a condescending manner.

    It would definitely be neat to do, especially if someone wants to play as a Floran that can read books and not just stab them.

    However, it would require adding additional descriptions to each and every item in the game... That's a really large, boring task.

    It's not difficult to do, but really, really tedious and time-consuming. So, it probably won't be done until they get closer to finished.

    Oh you mean the NPC's?

    But the player does as well. Most notably Hylotl and Floran, which live in the social norm.

    Are just talking about lore, or are these physical mechanics in the game?

    Just lore, and the player character looks at everything in their race's ideals. What I'm saying is that we could be an intelligent Floran rather than a savage. They would mainly affect story and item descriptions.
