    Whoa - you have far too much time on your hands, 8people. :-p
    Perhaps you should write a novel or make a film out of this world Chirofen; even these races alone are too many to read online.

    I think in personality and temperament I am most like the dwarves. I'm (relatively) short (5'10"), broad shouldered and barrel chested. I don't have a beard, but could grow one in about 5 or 6 days if I wanted to. I am somewhat open minded, but when my mind is made up, I am extremely stubborn, and cannot be budged. If you get to know me I am extremely loyal and will do anything for you, but if I don't know you I can be somewhat gruff and even fierce. Not many people get close to me, but the few who do are friends for life. I like to build things and make things with my hands. I appreciate nature, but am rarely seen out doors, preferring to spend time in my cave, crafting. But Dwarves weren't on the list, so I chose my 2nd favorite, Dracon.

    Don't listen to the people who say it's too long! Be as creative as you like, even if it means making a longer poll.

    You should have made it possible to choose more than one. Then again, that would defy the purpose wouldn't it

    I think my second choice would have been Weedlings (i like the name) or possibly turtrens if they looked anything like the multicoloured good turtles in Black & White

    I'd be an elf for the plain reason that i could, in theory have roughly, if i'm lucky, twenty human female lovers. Plus I'd get to see myself be put in history and still live for another 400 years!

    I'm basing this on an elf's lifespan of 600 years. I'm not sure so please, correct me if i am wrong :p

    [​IMG] Perhaps I should write a short bestiary in CS :p

    the longest living race is a Turtren, closely followed by Vampires and Banshees. Elves live for 400 years, on an average. Humans live for around 80 and compared to most the races are incredibly short lived. Each race has a different death count though. Meaning some can die more than once, Humans are one of those. there aren't many races that get a single life though. Catalinks for example get 9 - for reasons obvious. :p

    I wanted to choose dwarves, but could not find them. Do they exist is your world, are you planning to intorduce them later on or do you not like the stout folk?

    [​IMG] Okay - please excuse the typos :rolleyes:

    In this world there is one small community of dwarfs, they have slowly divided and gone seperate ways - you may encounter a few but they are too rare really.

    Correct me if I'm wrong (for this world) but isn't the whole point of banshees is that they are evil female elves that died in circumstances that I can't exactly recall right now?
