Welcome to Gaia! ::

This list isn't absolute. You are free to create your own races, the only problem is that they probably won't have a home Island if the guild does not have the funds to create a new subforum right away. But eventually we shall get a home island set up for you. If you wish you could donate to help in that endeavor, then you will have full creative control over what is on the island of said race.

Humans - Humans are experts in combat and war, they are able to use magic but it doesn't compare to the magic of the Elves. They are essentially a jack-of-trades. (Home Island - Brenton)

Elves - Most Elves have never left their island, they prefer solitude over anything. Practicing their magic in secret, this makes them very proficient magic users; even an apprentice has enough power to stand up to an experienced human mage. Because of their past encounters with other races, Elves are very suspicious of outsiders. (Home Island - Illuminati)

Vampires - The sunlight does not kill you in this world, only weakens you to the point of an above average human. The Queen or King has the ability to give a selected few Vampires the Night Crystal - It simulates the powers of the night and you can retain your abilities of a vampire in the daylight. (Home Island - Moonlight Island)

Werewolves/Lycans - The werewolves are a proud and noble race of warriors. Only a very few know magic and it is usually powered by the moon, which is unusually powerful. A werewolf is classified by two different names, Werewolf is for those that can't change back to their humanoid forms. They usually take on the shape of normal wolves, but a few of the stronger ones can take on forms that stand on two legs. The other name is Lycan, these are the strongest of the Werewolves and are able to revert to their humanoid forms and the strongest can even control lunar magic.

Pirate - State if your a captain or a crew member(boatswain, navigator, shipwright, etc) - if you are a captain post your ship name , make, and flag. (picture would be nice but not required) (Home Island - Tortuga)

Undead - You may rp an undead character but it had better be a good reason, I don't a hundred different undead profiles running around shouting braaaains. Undead can be zombie or skeleton. (Home Island - Darkwood Forest)

Demons - The demons are mystical creatures, some are born of hellfire, while others are born from the very elements themselves. The demons usually keep to themselves on their Island of Magmus but have been known to venture out because of their natural curiosity. But I wouldn't recommend a visit, demons are not known for their hospitality.... (Home Island - Magmus)

(((More to Come)))

-Veerin-

Not much is known about these ancient forest dwellers, some believe them to be of elven descent but this can not be taken for certain because they are mostly made up of druids and shape shifters. Young Veerin start out learning how to shift into different forest animals, as to hide, fight, gather, and to essentially make their lives easier overall. As they get into adulthood they learn how to take on the shapes of different races/species and elemental beings, much more complex than the beast-forms from their childhood; Elders are known to be able to shift into the forms of mythical beasts and creatures.

Archbishop - The holy leader of the Order. Usually elected. But in times of war an Archbishop can be appointed if the prove to be a stalwart leader under the pressures of war. His word is law and only death will remove an Archbishop's title.

High Paladin - A Paladin that has shown extraordinary leadership and holy power. A High Paladin will have a paladin as his/her second in command and a brigade under their command. (Brigades consist of several ranks below that of paladin. But usually are filled with squires and soldiers.)

Paladin - A Paladin is one who has shown skill in combat, has shown adept skills in controlling holy magic, and is a viable leader. A Paladin can be assigned to a High Paladin if he/she shows great potential. Or he/she can have a Brigade assigned to them.

Crusader - A Crusader is a veteran of combat. But is still learning to control their holy power. A Crusader is usually seen training lesser soldiers in the fine art of war.

Cleric - The Cleric is unmatched in his/her control of Holy magic. But they have little to no combat skills. Reasons may vary. From a frail body to just a dislike of actual combat. This doesn't mean they are completely defenseless. The magic they control is not to be scoffed at. A single Cleric is usually assigned to a Brigade. And have the authority to override a High Paladin's command if he/she feels the health of the Brigade is in jeopardy beyond the norm.

Squire - A squire is one who is training to become a Cleric, Crusader, or Paladin. They know very little Holy magic spells. But their skills in close quarters combat is not to be underestimated. Squires are usually in command of a small platoon of soldiers if they show good leadership qualities.

Soldier - The lowest rank in the Order. Usually made up of people who can not summon holy magic, or of people looking to join the Order's higher ranks. Soldiers make up the bulk of a High Paladins Brigade.
