Title: shared race
Post by: Altharion on February 28, 2003, 09:13:31 pm

we should have characters who  have backrounds from
two races like a half elf or one part Xacha and another part Ylians. the same for elves, dwarves ect.

I heard that the devs dont like that idea, but I could be wrong.

For common genetic rules, an individual will have a prevailing race that will determine its physical traits. For this reason, the main races are relatively pure. In other words, it can\'t happen that the races merge together forming a single mixed race: if someone has a lemur father and an elf mother, he will belong to one race or to the other.

Explains it all. I think the Ynwynns are the only vague exception, being a cross of Diaboli and Dermorians. But I think the crossbreed was formed a long time ago and they are now an independant species.

Side note - I know plenty of people enjoy writing character biographies, so who is to say that such crossbreeding by parents cannot be added in on an individual basis?  Sure, in game a player will look more like the dominant genes they got, but their history could be something completely different.

Just a thought for those who enjoy being half this/half that.   :))

I was thinking 31337 instead of 1337, but whatever you\'d like Link.
