Hello!

This looks like an extremely enjoyable rpg.  I cannot currently download the game (I believe do to the new version coming out).  But that's ok, it gives me more time to develop my characters back story.  I've read quite a bit on the site, but I cannot find a whole lot of story about the specific races.  If anyone can direct me to more on the specific race of Lemurs, please let me know (other than what is mentioned on the character descirpition page, and the mention of the in the history section).  I'm sorry if this is not the right way to go about this, I just like to have a good back story to build off of.  Also, if Lemur is an over used race could you please inform me of the lesser used races?

That all said, when I can finally download I hope to have a lot of fun!  I've not rped for a couple years, but I look forward to knocking the rust off.

Thank you,
--Mel

Lemur is actually a very underused race from what I've seen in the game. Apart from whats available on the site and in the history anything else that exists will be under wraps with the settings team. If anything else exists. Anyway, basically act snobbish and be a laanx follower. Thats the typical Lemur.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

If you have looked here and the main site you have seen pretty much everything there is to see outside the game, assuming of course that you have found everything here and there. You might try the PSwiki or some of the guild sites.

The races seem to be fairly evenly distributed although it is hard to tell sometimes as some races still share the same models. A lot of what is available as far as specific settings goes is only in the game, there is also more information in the character creation process. I wouldn't get to specific about back story until you get a better idea of what is what but of course I, personally, do not get too much into back story at all. I do not tell people my life story in reality and neither do my characters in the game. It is fine for those who are interested and greatly applauded by those who are ardently interested so knock yourself out. Certainly though it is something that can take form as you go along.

If you can't find info you always can make a race backstory up.

DO NOT create your own just because detailed race info isn't readily available doesn't mean that the settings dept has not already written or planned it.

There's still information on races lacking, so just hold on to what is already defined and avoid making up stuff that would affect more than just your character. If you want help with your description or personality, just stick to the appearance in the start and let your character develop as you play.
