RACES.

Here are the Races accepted on DoB. If you don't see it on the list, don't fret, just ask staff. But don't push it, either. You can also submit custom races for staff to review. The race needs to have fairly detailed information on appearance and abilities to even be considered. If staff like the idea and agree it can be regulated and not over powered it'll be added to the list.

And remember, individuals almost always vary from the race generalizations. So don't make a carbon copy of what is listed, but also don't make the character too different or it won't fit into the race.

RESTRICTION RANKINGS.

• Unrestricted :: Anyone can make a character of this race at any time. There will never be a ban on these races because they're just that common.
  
  
• Limited :: If there are too many of this race as compared to other races there will be a temporary ban on these races.
  
  
• Creator Permission :: This means you must get written (typed) permission from the creator of the race to be able to make one. Staff will check with the creator to make sure no one tries to get a race they're not allowed to have. This ranking only applies to the custom races staff has approved.
  
  
• Staff Permission :: This means you must get written (typed) permission from one of the site admins to be able to make a character of this race. This applies to certain races that need to fit a specific personality or ones that have special traits that define it.

• Average Life Expectancy: Five years, due to their warmongering nature, though theoretically up to 300
  
• Native To: Everywhere and nowhere. Greenskins can pop up literally anywhere, but they prefer to inhabit barren wastelands, because they're easier to fight in.
  
• Special Abilities: Greenskins multiply like made, as, when one dies, two more pop up in its place three days later, and quickly grow by beating the everloving hell out of any other available Greenskins. In addition, the four tiers of Greenskin have their own unique abilities; Gublins explode after ten seconds when lit ablaze, Noggers can eat nearly anything and belch it back out as a powerful projectile, Bonkers can wield weapons five times their size and/or weight, and Gronkers can command any lower-tiered Greenskin not currently controlled by another Gronker, and usurp followers by punching them in the head or killing the other Gronker.

• History:
  
  
• Restrictions: Staff Permission

Gublins, being equated to slaves and/or pests, have no names, simply being called out as "GUBLIN". Finally, all Greenskins speak with a broken version of a Cockney accent, sounding like Cockney mixed with a touch of caveman speak.

• Average Life Expectancy: 100-300 years, and varies wildly within this range
  
• Native To: Anywhere with a deep, thick forest, though some brave to mingle with the other races.
  
• Special Abilities: Wildly variable, as they depend on the animal nature of the individual, though a great many have sharp claws and fangs to defend themselves. In addition, all Beast Folk have very strong senses, many times those of normal Humans.
  
• Physical Traits: Beast Folk looks much like humans, but with varying levels of animal traits, from merely having the extremities of the creature (Claws, hooves, fangs, horns, tails, antlers, wings) to looking like a bipedal version of the animal. Herbivore-based Beast Folk are significantly less common, but not altogether rare. All Beast Folk are derived from mammals and birds.
  
• Common Enemies: Hunters, slavers, other Beast Folk tribes
  
• History:

SHADETAILS.

• Scientific Name: Umbre Vulpes
  
• Average Height Range: 4-7 feet
  
• Average Weight Range: 70-180 lbs (sex dependent)
  
• Average Life Expectancy: 100-120 years
  
• Native To: A small, semi-volcanic island of unknown coordinates.
  
• Special Abilities:
  
  • Illusions - Not very large range to start, and the stronger the Shadetail the more realistic the illusions seem.
    
  • Shapeshifting - Basic ability to begin with; hair color changes, shifting into their Shadetail form. Eye color and Shadetail mane color cannot be changed.
    
  • "Night Daze" - Powerful Shadetails have access to a special power that allows them to use the darkness of night as an energy source. This energy then can be released as powerful blasts or even merely small bursts.
  
  
• Physical Traits: A lithe, slender vulpine-like race, with a rather mischievous appearance. The colored markings on their faces give them the mischievous look. Unlike normal vulpine, they lack tails, walk primarily through bipedal locomotion, and their base color always ranges from dark gray to black, some having bits of brown hues showing through. The reason for their name comes from the way their manes hang on their backs, looking similar to tails often times. The color of these manes varies. The most common colors are reds and oranges, with yellow being fairly common as well. After that is greens and purples, with blues and whites being the rarest colors of all. There are rumors of solid black Shadetails being an even rarer occurrence than white.
  
• Common Enemies: Night Hunters
  
• History: Long ago, the Night Hunters believed they wiped the Shadetails out, but in reality they only drove them into hiding. They've found this out as more Shadetails have shown up in recent years; though they're few and far between, usually being a slave to a rich lord.
  
  
• Restrictions: Creator Permission [Aeon]
  
• OOC Rules: Can't have Haki, at all.

LISCHLING.

• Scientific Name:
  
• Average Height Range: 4’2” - 6’6”
  
• Average Weight Range: 125/140 – 190/215 pounds
  
• Average Life Expectancy: 125 - 150
  
• Native To: Grand Line
  
• Special Abilities:
  
  • The frontal legs of all Lischlings are sharp enough to be used as stabbing implements; these legs are always part of your body, whether in spider or human form. The chitin of these legs is as hard as steel and can go toe-to-toe with normal blades. They can stretch up to an additional two feet, but may not be initially longer than eight feet in length. This takes up one of your three weapon slots.
    
  • Illusions: Lischlings possess the innate ability to weave illusions that affect the senses of others. Through this, all Lischlings may create the illusion that they are a normal sized spider, however this is not a transformation, and being touched will dispel the illusion. Illusions created that are not the aforementioned spider illusion require its own ability.
    
  • Webbing: You may produce an amount of webbing not to exceed the size of a poacher’s hunting net (large enough to capture a human inside), though you may create any amount smaller. The webbing can be light as silk, or if at maximum, as heavy as a weighted net.
    
  • Shape-shifting: Lischlings possess the innate ability to transform into their spider forms, (which must be described in Abnormalities) which are the same size they are as a human and does not alter their weight. This effectively allows the Lischling to run at double their normal speed and jump to a distance of fifteen feet and a height of four feet, however, you’re like a spider, you’re susceptible to being squashed by someone heavy enough stepping on your back. This ability can be learned In Character if you do not start with it and the Lischling MUST be older than 14, at which point they are considered a ‘mature’ adult.
    
  • Water Walking: This is a trait possessed by a very rare breed of Lischling, and very few exist. A master of this ability could walk across the surface of the ocean with ease, while a young learning Lischling would do well to stand upon the surface of a still pond without a breeze blowing. This ability must be mastered in character, and you start off barely being able to walk across a puddle without sinking into it. When walking, your spider legs must also be touching the surface of the water.
  
  
• Physical Traits: Lischlings look like most other humans; they have a few features that set them apart from everyone else. First and most obviously are the two or sometimes four spider legs sprouting from either the middle of their back or from the back of their neck. Secondly, they all sport a set of eight eye markings on their body, either in their hair or somewhere on them, these often resemble a tattoo on their body or a strange dye pattern on their hair. And lastly, members of the royal family possess blood red eyes while all others possess eyes of either dark or bright gold, deep green, icy blue, or muddy brown. Special notes: females undergo a ‘breeding season’ during the winter months, in which time they will normally pursue a mate, however this is not a blind lust as with some species, but an increased interest in finding a partner.
  
• Common Enemies: None
  
• History: The Lischlings are a Hierarchical race of Spider-like humanoids that live on an Isle located somewhere in the reaches of the Grand Line. Though isolationists at the heart of their society, very seldom does a Lischling get born whom wishes to travel, though each that does has a personal goal to fulfill in doing so. The members of the Royal Family live in the lap of luxury, but only during the calm times within the Family. During the age-old contest of Volkermor, in which the members of the Royal bloodline fight amongst themselves to the death for the throne, all but one son or daughter remains until the King and Queen die. When the new Heir ascends to the throne, he or she picks a mate from the common folk to continue the bloodline, and honor known as the Aufsteig. The common folk lead lives of rather normal people of various culture, though in the high-rising cities and towns of the Lischling Kingdom. Houses are built into trees, with rope ladders acting as the walkways for people to travel to and fro.
  
  
• Restrictions: Creator Permission [Weegee]
  
• OOC Rules: If you have Wall/Ceiling Climbing you cannot take Water Walking and Vice Versa. If you do not start off with the Shape-Shifting ability, you can gain it In Character, via a trial (upon which it become purchasable). Trail will be NPC’d by the Race’s Creator, though each trial will be similar, though customized to each character. Trials are done Solo.
