    Hm.
    That may be fitting as another race from the sound of it, reminds me slightly of the Rakshasa described in the D&D Monster Manual.
    Perhaps soon we could ad da subsection of the race categories for the 'beast-like' races, as @Mailboxhead mentioned?
    It could simply be another grouping within races, not nessecarily considering htem the same race as the others within it, but would help organize the OP and such.


    Race Name: Neko

    Harbinger: Britefire

    Appearance: A neko is a humanoid who possess feline features, most commonly ears and a tail. Some members of the race may be more feline in appearance than others, though not commonly, such as claws, more catlike eyes, or other features..

    Race Strengths and Weaknesses: Neko are quite dexterous and agile, allowing for maneuvers that would be impossible for many Humans. While they are agile and quick, they are also often physically weaker when compared to many other races.

    Reproduction Methods: The most common way for Neko to reproduce is the same as that of Humans. There have also been cases of Humans being turned into Neko, though that process is not yet well understood.

    Race's fighting styles: While it varies greatly between them, Neko generally fight using quick weapons, such as light blades or similar weapons, with styles that utilize their innate agility and speed to make up for their inherent lack of strength.

    Social Construct of Race: Neko tend to be a scattered race, many living in villages or towns with other demons, though villages of Neko are not unheard of. Some may even pose as Humans and attempt to live among them.

    Traits: Neko are very agile, quick, and dexterous, in comparison with many other demons. Often they can be very stealthy if they so choose. Some Neko are even known to posess the ability to transform into a cat.

    Misc. Info: Most Neko are often easily distracted. Catnip does have an effect on them, varying slightly between people, as well as between different varieties of the plant.


    This is it, or at least, what was meant to have been posted awhile ago.

    I'm thinking of becoming active on the rp and forums again. I just hope time zone differences don't ruin it again.

    Good idea.
    I'll fill the racial thingy for it, and then we can see if the beast-like races will be categorized together later on.

    Race Profile Skeleton

    Race Name: Baaskhasa
    Harbinger: Chaselock
    Appearance: Baaskhasa, to an ignorant observer, may seem like a particular unlucky bunch of Neko. They are incredibly wrong. A Baaskhasa has human-like proportions to its furless body, in colors that vary from purple, to blue, to red and so forth. Their face is also very human-like, but the aside from their skin color, the first difference begins there, with angled eyes that range from double to quadruple the size of human eyes, their irises feline in nature, and their colors varying from vibrant yellow to green or blue, or colors inbetween.

    Instead of human ears, theirs are large ones very much like a sphynx cat's, any hair the species have between said two ears, always black in color, but can be dyed to their preference, as was part of their culture back then. Facial hair is also possible for growth in male specimens. Their hands are an odd bunch, a mix between a cat's and a human's, with humanoid hands with slightly larger fingers and a claw at each end instead of a nail. Their legs are straight as a homo sapiens', but their feet feature the same odd hybrid nature of their hands. They have a considerably large tail, also furless, that helps in balance, and their skin is usually smooth to the touch.

    In regards to body structure, they are generally not very tall, mostly on the shorter side with few but present exceptions. While their build may vary wildly just like any other race, it heavily depends on the function said specimen had before the fall of their civilization. (More on that below)
    Race Strengths and Weaknesses: + Higher muscle density and flexibility than most others make them expert martial fighters and good for positions that require both strength or stealth, allowing outstanding stunts and attacks.
    - Lack of warfare culture means they rely much on said martial prowess. A considerably armored opponent may often prove too much for a Baaskhasa in combat.
    Reproduction Methods: Normal reproduction, no corruption methods.
    Race's fighting styles: Quick and strong attacks, relying on an ancient culture of martial arts, and will seek to often cause damage to an opponent's bones or muscle tissue to quickly force them to yield or be incapacitated.
    Social Construct of Race: The Baaskhasa used to be the ruling class of a centuries old civilization, composed of them at the top tiers with several slave races below. They lived in lands of sand and heat, their clothing light and their pleasures many. A proud warrior race from the start of their days, their conquests were unrelenting in the days humanity was still getting on their feet.

    However, in time, the leaders of the race grew large and slow and greedy, and with that the previously warrior race became just as corrupt and resentful was any other civilization. It crumbled after years of fighting amid themselves and other species warring with them, mostly ancient humans, so ancient their records of them vanished with time.

    Now, all this years afterwards, there are many who survived using a curious technique by the species(see below). Since they are few and have woken in varying periods, they now struggle to find their feet in an odd world, seeking to reunite and maybe one day rise again the empire of old.
    Traits: Feline-like hearing and seeing, superior strength and speed, but most curiously, a capacity for a kind of hibernation. Much like any cat, when not being aggressive and active, the Baaskhasa rest in considerably lazy behavior for slightly longer periods than most, the secret to said superior energy and slower aging being in how almost comatose their sleep is. However, given the choice, they can sustain this for large periods of time, like, say, the thousands of years most survivors of their Empire's ruin have, allowing them to return to the public(or not-so-public) eye with no apparent aging.
    Misc. Info: Due to said high energy-consuming fighting and living styles and the hibernation like nature of their sleep, the Baaskhasa have a ridiculously high appetite. They are constantly eating or nibbling on something, and said reason is also why most of the currently living Baaskhasa were high class warriors or in general people with access to food: They had the means to get the incredible banquet necessary to maintain their sleep for all this time.
    Done.
    What do you guys think?

    EDIT: Added bold to make it easier to read here and there.

    Battle of the Gods? Either that or not, I should justify said choice and my avatar with saying this movie kinda sparked the long slumbering DB fanboy inside me.
    I'm going with Bas-ka-za for now, if that makes any sense. Flat, strong vowels. Not sure where to place the strong syllabe though.

    I meant to finish that and say 'Snowpiercer', but it posted early and I never got around to remaking it after deleting.

    What movie is that?
     
  11. GunmanRex

    GunmanRex Oxygen Tank

    It is a movie based on a French graphic novel. The backstory is that in order to fight global warming, a chemical is released into the atmosphere that ends up chilling the planet too much. The rest of humanity is on an endless train ran by a perpetual motion machine, the poor are in slums in the back while the rich are in classy shit up front. You can get what happens. Anyway, here is the starring list:
    Chris Evans
    Song Kang-ho
    Go Ah-sung
    Jamie Bell
    Alison Pill
    John Hurt
    Tilda Swinton
    Octavia Spencer
    Ed Harris
    It is a great movie, with the average rating being around 8. I would recommend you see it.
