In this thread we will build our world and our charachters from the ground up. So heres what we have so far: (updated regularly)

RACE:
Submission Name:
The Shevaen Elves
Submission Type:
Race
Description:
The Shevaen Elves are the inhabitants and dominant rulers of Inkita.
They are huge on trade, especially oversea due to their large focus on the marine (THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH STARCRAFT! LOOK UP THE WORD MARINE FFS!) technology field (boats and sea-travel).
History:
The history of the Shevaen elves are too long to write down here, but in basic terms:
They have allways lived on Inkita.
They have grown from a little establishment on the shore to a trade empire.
They have strong magical potential due to Inkita's air being thick with the stuff.
They are the creators of the Citaen.
Average Age/Approximate Age:
200-400 years. (Some castes lives longer. See Castes lower down on the sheet.)
Body Build:
Depends on the caste. (Again: See Castes lower down on the sheet.)
Physical Traits/General Appearance:
The Typical Shevaen elf looks like your regular wood elf.
Though, some castes have special traits. (See: Castes.)
Castes:
One of the things that mapes the Shevaen stand out from regular elves is their castes.
During their time on Inkita, they have split up in diffirent castes.
The first castes were:
-Mages
-Architects
-Fishers and Sailors
-Workers
and
-Warriors.
These castes had strange effects on the Shevaen people, possibly due to Inkita's magically-shimmering air.
The people of the Mage Caste developed a sixth sense that allowed them to speak to nature and it's elements. They also developed very pointy teeth. Very strong mages have wings.
The people of the Architect Caste became thin and very fragile, and with this they also became very beautyfull.
The the Fishers and Sailors became huge and sturdy.
They all look like well trained body builders.
The people of the Worker Caste grew two extra arms, allowing them to perform alot of work faster than most others.
The Warriors became sturdy like the Fishers and Sailors, but alot stronger.
They developed keen senses, and a very strong Honor concept.

MAGICS:
Submission name:
Soul/Spirit/Ancestor Magic
Submission Type:
Magic
Description:
The Soul Magic is the basic magic of the primitive races. It involves the use of spirits in nature combined with the four elements, Earth, Fire, Water and Air, and the caster's own life force. The Soul Magic usually is performed in tribal rituals, but it does have a variety of uses, including summoning spirits, animating the dead and healing.
Performing the magic:
When one is going to perform Soul Magic, one does need several material components. the caster does need a totem of some sort to use as a connection to the spirit world and the caster does need a spirit amulet which contains a part of his/her own life force and can be used to channel it. In addition, several strange and less strange components can be used to help channeling certain energied, these include special rocks, herbs, gems, metals, weeds, liquids and animal organs such as hearts and livers.
The Jaal:
The flow of magic
The Jaal is a powerful flow of magic that can be 'tapped by magical beings called sorcerers. sorcerers can wield this magic at will, they have no limits to their power, but casting magic makes them unstable. too many spells, too quickly, or a spell that is to powerful will cause them to loose stability. the result of lost stability is explosion, transformation, mutation, warping the body or parts of the body to other places nd infestation of evil magical spirits called the Guienari'del'jaysou. commoners call them demons.
This magic flows through the air, and certain areas have lots, or none of it. and somtimes, the magic in the air is corrupted. All necromancers are sorcerers. necromancers harvest the power of a special kind of magic called Necrkortim, a special spirit-catch left behind in a body after death, that allows the spirit to be pulled back into the body and animate it once more, bound to the necrmancers will...

Submission Name: Dragon slayer magic
Submission Type: Magic
Description: Dragon slayer magic is one of the most rare types of magic in existence, it can be extremely powerful when used in the right way. dragon slayer magic ironically can only be tought to a human by a dragon or by implanting a dragon crystal inside of someones body. tough the later is far weaker since the magic is not supported by the wielders heart. dragon slayer magic comes in many different elements such as the basics: Fire; air, water, ice. furthermore there are other more rare elements such as metal, toxic, ... etc. a dragon power can regain power by eating his own element tough the eating of his own creations will result in massive damage on long term and eventually kill the dragon slayer himself since he is eating a part of himself. dragon slayer magic is so race because it is as strong as the wielders heart and spirit is. accomplished dragon slayers can form dragon scales on some parts of their body's to make their attacks even stronger, if they master this further they can grow dragon claws and eventually perform a half dragon transformation. this transformation is their ultimate form.
History: on the first days dragon slayers were handpicked by dragons and raised tough at that time they were called dragon warriors. eventually some of these warriors turned on their dragons and attacked them whit their own power, thus the birth of the dragon slayers. seeing as this made the magic very rare since dragons and slayers were killed. the slayers sought for a way to keep training others and eventually came up whit the dragon crystal. an artificial crystal created from a part of the dragons heart and scales implanted into a human body to make him take over some of the dragon magic stored inside. right now the number of dragon slayers is under 50. the number of dragons still remaining tough is uncertain, some say they are extinct some say about a dozen remain, at this point it is unknown.

Karthek Mountain Range
Submission Type:
Location
Description:
A gigantic range of mountains, consisting of miles of open plane, ice caverns, cave complexes and predator ridden slopes.
History:
Not much to say. The mountains don't change very much overtime, now and again a rockfall will cause a certain path to become unusable, a cave will collapse or predators will move away from a plain. It was the location of the 'Dark Plight' referred to only by the Kyrrin (as of yet) and even they can't or won't go into detail on the subject.
Climate: (Territory/City/Continent/Plane)
Towards the bottom of the mountains there are vast plains and woodlands that lead up to the great steppe expanse that is the highlands, but further into the range it is a harsh barren snowscape, full of blizzards, high altitudes and deadly predators. The temperature is always below 0^oC in the depths of the range, the slopes and highland border can reach up to 10^oC.
Continent: (Territory/City/Continent/Plane)

Flora & Fauna: (Territory/City/Continent/Plane)
Pine trees, many rocks, minerals and metal deposits (deep within the mountains). Mountain Wolves, (Brown Bears, Wolves, Boars - at the connection to the steppes), A variety of hardy weeds, berries and pulses manage to grow on the lower reaches of the mountains, many avian birds such as the typical eagles, hawks and common birds live on the smaller mounts. Many giant avian predators that have yet to be named by man also crest the taller mountains, they rarely leave their roosts in the day and are few in number. Snowy Felines; Sabre Tooth Tigers (snowy pelt). Mammoths.
Location: (Territory/City/Continent/Plane)
North on Nar’oseot, adjacent (north?) to the Highlands.

Specials: (Territory/City/Continent/Plane)
The tribes of Kyrrin often 'claim' territory but they change their mind and bicker about it so often nowhere is worth noting.
"Cliff Of The Ancestors" isn't considered part of the range, but is close enough to considered a local landmark and therefore often referred to by Kyrrin discussing directions etc.

race
Description:
EDIT ADD: Knew, I missed some stuff, Hair Colours: From pure white to a variety of blondes in females, it usually resembles the skin shade quite closely (though not always), male's can have anything from black, brown, dark blonde or even ginger.
Female's hair does not change colour (e.g. go grey) with age, men's do, at around 350 -400 years.
A humanoid race, pale skinned, ranging from chalk-white to albino/pale (like we see in our human race as the lightest) at the darkest. They live in ________ undecided/submitted (can place in someone else's or make my own, assuming this is approved). It's a cold, harsh mountainous region. They live in tribes of around 30 - 50, one male is appointed as a No'ha, the 'spiritual leader', their orders must be obeyed, or opposed via a duel. Females may not be a No'ha or challenge someone/be challenged to a duel. Outsiders/Other races are not permitted to become part of the tribe, or duel a No'ha, though they may duel other tribe members should the No'ha deem it plausible.
They mate for life, due to the long menstrual cycle of women (see below) children are rare as timing is critical this is enforced and cheating can be punished by exile, of course due to awful man:woman ratio, many bachelors die 'alone' though due to the nature of tribes as a family it's never quite as bad as a human dying 'alone' not quite so bad.
Exile: The person in question is branded with a "Sho'ka" or 'Mark of Shame', no tribe will adopt him/her some may even refuse to acknowledge him/her. Most die as a result of exile, unable to hunt for food alone. A few leave their home behind and make their way to other corners of the world, those these are very few and far between.
They speak their own language "Nithaen" or 'Nomadic' in the human tongue, this probably wouldn't be spoken in a rp, just referred to (otherwise it's too hard to understand xD).
The tribes move around a lot, they live in tents and or caves, depending on what is available at the time (e.g. tents if no caves...). The male's are considered the "hunters", though females are not shunned as warriors.
They do a lot of free hand climbing up sheer cliff faces to hunt some of the more evasive avian prey, hence their build.
***The female "discrimination" is due to their rarity, 1 out of 3 children born (which is already very few) are girls, however they are allowed to be warriors due to their lacking numbers, they need everyone to be able to fight.
History:
They have always lived in the harsh peaks of Karthek which overshadow the beautiful highlands. Their origin is unknown, even to them. As such a tribal and scattered race all history is past by word of mouth and therefore it is hard to discern the truth.
- - - - I will lay down some agreed facts between the various tribes: - - - -
U'natu was the very first No'ha, as decreed by the spirit's during the 'Dark Plight' that befell the peaks many millennia (dependent on the age of our universe) ago.
He managed to unite the tribes and together they survived the 'Dark Plight', only the Tula No'ha (Technically the 'de-facto' leader of the people, but he has very little interest in the uniting the people, without adequate reason: e.g. extinction) know's the true events of this and a new Tula is only selected when the first is upon his deathbed, therefore it is their most closely guarded secret, I mean imagine the Tula died before another could be selected and the knowledge passed on?
The spirits have been silent since the 'great plight' and no longer actively talk to the No'ha, though offerings are still given and guidance requested.
Before the 'Dark Plight' is not worth knowing.
U'natu slowly became joyless and morose during the centuries after the 'Dark Plight', he grew old and miserable and eventually went into solitary exile, after appointing his successor: Jamuk (All next Tula No'ha for the next couple of millennia are unknown).
Jamuk led well, he kept the tribes united and well fed, but upon his death, old feuds from before the 'Dark Plight' were reignited within the tribes, arguments over hunting land, mates and territory ensured the united 'Kyrrin' were no more.
The tribes broke up once again, though the tradition of having a Tula No'ha remained, none ever tried (or at least succeeded) to reunite the tribes, and in all honesty they didn't need to.
The millennia to follow would be a constant struggle for survival against the elements, nothing more, nothing less. The population neither grew nor declined.
More coming...
Average Age/Approximate Age:
They live much longer than humans, the eldest having reached just shy of 500 years. Unlike elves, they are very much 'human' this means will be a child in appearance and mind until the age of nearing 50 - 70, a woman's menstrual cycle is a year rather than a month, etc...
Body Build: (Height/Weight, for Race/Char)
Fairly small, no taller than 5' 8" but a fully grown male is usually between 5' and 5' 6", with female's being slightly taller, but much less stocky. The male build is one for climbing, long legs and arms, very tight compact and muscular for their size.
EDIT ADD: Forgot yet another thing: Weight is for a male (fully grown and healthy) 8-10 stone (112 - 140 lbs). Female's though taller weigh considerably less, around 7-8 stone. Anything over these is most likely due to obesity (this is very rare due to their harsh life style, though some exile's have probably mastered it
) and any less can be due to illness or old age (withered muscles).
Pysical Traits:
Extremely cold skin to the touch, they are also cold-blooded. It's a fantasy...
Military Matters and Politics
Politics
Tribes
As already mentioned the "Kyrrin" are divided into tribes, these tribes are similar to giant families (in friendship purposes) but one may openly leave/join a tribe at any time (the latter is at the No'ha's discretion and is also void if the applicator bears the Sho'ka) with good reason. Usually a "Kyrrin" will stay with a tribe for a good many decades if not his entire life, forming a bond almost as strong as that between him/her and a mate.
Tribes are named after there current No'ha's for e.g: "The U'natu Tribe"
They fight together, hunt together and die together.
There are near enough 100 recognized tribes of differing sizes (usually between 30-50, some bigger ones may have just shy of 100, leaving the total number of "Kyrrin" at a mere 3,000 - 5,000.
They can fight, they used to, before the 'Dark Plight' carry out initiation writes. Where a newcomer to the tribe either maturing child or applicator must perform various task including wrestling wolves bear handed, many died in these writes and now with the race dwindling, the Tula No'ha strictly forbid any unnecessary bloodshed. Even tribal warfare is strictly monitored with some of the larger tribes policing the smaller ones, with various threats and or appeasements. A No'ha whose tribe or even a single member assaults another without good reason can and will be punished, these punishments vary from Rank stripping, exile or even death. Depending on the extent of the damage done.
-No'has may not mate, until there position has been taken over.
-Ex - No'has cannot re-submit for the position.
-Ex - No'has cannot leave their tribe, they have been bound to it's very core.
-The Tula No'ha cannot have children or relinquish his post, EVER! Neither may he be challenged to a duel, his decrees may be refused by a ---majority of No'has. E.g 60 tribe No'has object to his proposition to unite...
Sex/Age Differentiation
-Women may not become No'ha or hunt due to their rarity, the former is 'too dangerous' the latter prevents them from mating.
-They are allowed to fight in wars against other races due to the fractured nature of the people, they need all the soldiers they can get.
-Children take so long to mature that they are guarded like precious gems. Births are so rare that great feasts are held and many tribes may unite for a while to celebrate the births of many.
-Infertile women (due to problems and age) are NOT exempt from these rules.
-Women children are a bigger cause to celebrate than males.
-A stillborn child/miscarriage are the most catastrophic events imaginable, tribes will mourn for years over such losses.
-Women are pregnant for several years and as such are very vulnerable, in times of war when men cannot be spared to protect them, this can become a problem and cause disputes between preferences/priorities.
Military Matters
-> Tribal warfare is supposed to be non-lethal, whether this means disputes are settled via competitions (hunting/bigger feasts/more supporters etc) or no 'sharp' weapons are to be used.
DUELS ARE A VERY COMMON WAY OF SETTLING DISPUTES. A 'champion' or 'leader' of one side's argument against another's.
Weapons used in actual warfare and hunting include:
Javelins
Short Bows
Spears (not pikes...)
Swords are used, but rarely - sometimes blunt swords are used in duels but this is going out of fashion - staffs (headless spears) are now the preference. These swords are all scimitar/nomadic/curved blades. Mongol style, slash, rather than thrust and they are never used in hunting, it is considered 'inefficient' or an 'untidy' way of killing.
Hunting Knifes are used widely, every "Kyrrin" wears one or more. They are used for quick kills on downed prey.
Fur armour is favoured and accessible, though some leather and other light materials isn't unseen.
A variety of other equipment can be used, e.g. pickaxes for climbing are often used in war, as are grappling hooks.
Lifestyle
Food/Cooking/Hunting
The tribe (or a designated team from it) will hunt everyday if encamped and work together to take down big beasts and gather berries and the like (whatever they can get their hands on in such harsh conditions), on the move - scout's are required to chase down smaller prey given the opportunity, or forage what they can safely carry without hindering their actions (which is very little).
Moving
Tribes have never moved out of the mountain range except in times of war.
Moving is a dangerous process, the predators of the Karthek range are unforgiving and cunning. Many an unsuspecting tribe have been devastated by a pack of wolves or poor hunters leading their quarry back to the camp.
To make matters worse, hunting is hard on the move due to the above, many warriors are needed to protect the women and children and so cannot hunt, even the scouts must be quick, so as to ensure they stay ahead of the tribe.
Mating & Marriage
The "Kyrrin" believe in free will, if nothing else. They allow their children to marry whom they will from ANOTHER TRIBE, you cannot marry within the same tribe (remember the 'family bond') and then one must join the other's tribe once 'married', usually the female joining the male's though this is due to tradition rather than actual law. Outsider relationships are strictly forbidden and to 'woo' a Sho'ka bearer is to be branded with one yourself.
The 'marriage' is actually performed by two No'ha, one of the bride's tribe and one from the groom's respectively. It involves a complex ritual that may last from dawn to dusk (long lives = longer vows), all members of both tribes must attend, hunting is suspended for the day, food having been stockpiled and shared between tribes beforehand.
Submission Name:
The Kyrrin (Ki-rin)
Submission Type:
race
Description:
EDIT ADD: Knew, I missed some stuff, Hair Colours: From pure white to a variety of blondes in females, it usually resembles the skin shade quite closely (though not always), male's can have anything from black, brown, dark blonde or even ginger.
Female's hair does not change colour (e.g. go grey) with age, men's do, at around 350 -400 years.
A humanoid race, pale skinned, ranging from chalk-white to albino/pale (like we see in our human race as the lightest) at the darkest. They live in ________ undecided/submitted (can place in someone else's or make my own, assuming this is approved). It's a cold, harsh mountainous region. They live in tribes of around 30 - 50, one male is appointed as a No'ha, the 'spiritual leader', their orders must be obeyed, or opposed via a duel. Females may not be a No'ha or challenge someone/be challenged to a duel. Outsiders/Other races are not permitted to become part of the tribe, or duel a No'ha, though they may duel other tribe members should the No'ha deem it plausible.
They mate for life, due to the long menstrual cycle of women (see below) children are rare as timing is critical this is enforced and cheating can be punished by exile, of course due to awful man:woman ratio, many bachelors die 'alone' though due to the nature of tribes as a family it's never quite as bad as a human dying 'alone' not quite so bad.
Exile: The person in question is branded with a "Sho'ka" or 'Mark of Shame', no tribe will adopt him/her some may even refuse to acknowledge him/her. Most die as a result of exile, unable to hunt for food alone. A few leave their home behind and make their way to other corners of the world, those these are very few and far between.
They speak their own language "Nithaen" or 'Nomadic' in the human tongue, this probably wouldn't be spoken in a rp, just referred to (otherwise it's too hard to understand xD).
The tribes move around a lot, they live in tents and or caves, depending on what is available at the time (e.g. tents if no caves...). The male's are considered the "hunters", though females are not shunned as warriors.
They do a lot of free hand climbing up sheer cliff faces to hunt some of the more evasive avian prey, hence their build.
***The female "discrimination" is due to their rarity, 1 out of 3 children born (which is already very few) are girls, however they are allowed to be warriors due to their lacking numbers, they need everyone to be able to fight.
History:
They have always lived in the harsh peaks of Karthek which overshadow the beautiful highlands. Their origin is unknown, even to them. As such a tribal and scattered race all history is past by word of mouth and therefore it is hard to discern the truth.
- - - - I will lay down some agreed facts between the various tribes: - - - -
U'natu was the very first No'ha, as decreed by the spirit's during the 'Dark Plight' that befell the peaks many millennia (dependent on the age of our universe) ago.
He managed to unite the tribes and together they survived the 'Dark Plight', only the Tula No'ha (Technically the 'de-facto' leader of the people, but he has very little interest in the uniting the people, without adequate reason: e.g. extinction) know's the true events of this and a new Tula is only selected when the first is upon his deathbed, therefore it is their most closely guarded secret, I mean imagine the Tula died before another could be selected and the knowledge passed on?
The spirits have been silent since the 'great plight' and no longer actively talk to the No'ha, though offerings are still given and guidance requested.
Before the 'Dark Plight' is not worth knowing.
U'natu slowly became joyless and morose during the centuries after the 'Dark Plight', he grew old and miserable and eventually went into solitary exile, after appointing his successor: Jamuk (All next Tula No'ha for the next couple of millennia are unknown).
Jamuk led well, he kept the tribes united and well fed, but upon his death, old feuds from before the 'Dark Plight' were reignited within the tribes, arguments over hunting land, mates and territory ensured the united 'Kyrrin' were no more.
The tribes broke up once again, though the tradition of having a Tula No'ha remained, none ever tried (or at least succeeded) to reunite the tribes, and in all honesty they didn't need to.
The millennia to follow would be a constant struggle for survival against the elements, nothing more, nothing less. The population neither grew nor declined.

The Shevaen Elves
Submission Type:

Description:
The Shevaen Elves are the inhabitants and dominant rulers of Inkita.
They are huge on trade, especially oversea due to their large focus on the marine (THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH STARCRAFT! LOOK UP THE WORD MARINE FFS!) technology field (boats and sea-travel).
History:
The history of the Shevaen elves are too long to write down here, but in basic terms:
They have allways lived on Inkita.
They have grown from a little establishment on the shore to a trade empire.
They have strong magical potential due to Inkita's air being thick with the stuff.
They are the creators of the Citaen.
Average Age/Approximate Age:
200-400 years. (Some castes lives longer. See Castes lower down on the sheet.)
Body Build:
Depends on the caste. (Again: See Castes lower down on the sheet.)
Physical Traits/General Appearance:
The Typical Shevaen elf looks like your regular wood elf.
Though, some castes have special traits. (See: Castes.)
Castes:
One of the things that mapes the Shevaen stand out from regular elves is their castes.
During their time on Inkita, they have split up in diffirent castes.
The first castes were:
-Mages
-Architects
-Fishers and Sailors
-Workers
and
-Warriors.
These castes had strange effects on the Shevaen people, possibly due to Inkita's magically-shimmering air.
The people of the Mage Caste developed a sixth sense that allowed them to speak to nature and it's elements. They also developed very pointy teeth. Very strong mages have wings.
The people of the Architect Caste became thin and very fragile, and with this they also became very beautyfull.
The the Fishers and Sailors became huge and sturdy.
They all look like well trained body builders.
The people of the Worker Caste grew two extra arms, allowing them to perform alot of work faster than most others.
The Warriors became sturdy like the Fishers and Sailors, but alot stronger.
They developed keen senses, and a very strong Honor concept.

Submission name:
Soul/Spirit/Ancestor Magic
Submission Type:
Magic
Description:
The Soul Magic is the basic magic of the primitive races. It involves the use of spirits in nature combined with the four elements, Earth, Fire, Water and Air, and the caster's own life force. The Soul Magic usually is performed in tribal rituals, but it does have a variety of uses, including summoning spirits, animating the dead and healing.
Performing the magic:
When one is going to perform Soul Magic, one does need several material components. the caster does need a totem of some sort to use as a connection to the spirit world and the caster does need a spirit amulet which contains a part of his/her own life force and can be used to channel it. In addition, several strange and less strange components can be used to help channeling certain energied, these include special rocks, herbs, gems, metals, weeds, liquids and animal organs such as hearts and livers.
The Jaal:
The flow of magic
The Jaal is a powerful flow of magic that can be 'tapped by magical beings called sorcerers. sorcerers can wield this magic at will, they have no limits to their power, but casting magic makes them unstable. too many spells, too quickly, or a spell that is to powerful will cause them to loose stability. the result of lost stability is explosion, transformation, mutation, warping the body or parts of the body to other places nd infestation of evil magical spirits called the Guienari'del'jaysou. commoners call them demons.
This magic flows through the air, and certain areas have lots, or none of it. and somtimes, the magic in the air is corrupted. All necromancers are sorcerers. necromancers harvest the power of a special kind of magic called Necrkortim, a special spirit-catch left behind in a body after death, that allows the spirit to be pulled back into the body and animate it once more, bound to the necrmancers will...

Submission Name: Dragon slayer magic
Submission Type: Magic
Description: Dragon slayer magic is one of the most rare types of magic in existence, it can be extremely powerful when used in the right way. dragon slayer magic ironically can only be tought to a human by a dragon or by implanting a dragon crystal inside of someones body. tough the later is far weaker since the magic is not supported by the wielders heart. dragon slayer magic comes in many different elements such as the basics: Fire; air, water, ice. furthermore there are other more rare elements such as metal, toxic, ... etc. a dragon power can regain power by eating his own element tough the eating of his own creations will result in massive damage on long term and eventually kill the dragon slayer himself since he is eating a part of himself. dragon slayer magic is so race because it is as strong as the wielders heart and spirit is. accomplished dragon slayers can form dragon scales on some parts of their body's to make their attacks even stronger, if they master this further they can grow dragon claws and eventually perform a half dragon transformation. this transformation is their ultimate form.
History: on the first days dragon slayers were handpicked by dragons and raised tough at that time they were called dragon warriors. eventually some of these warriors turned on their dragons and attacked them whit their own power, thus the birth of the dragon slayers. seeing as this made the magic very rare since dragons and slayers were killed. the slayers sought for a way to keep training others and eventually came up whit the dragon crystal. an artificial crystal created from a part of the dragons heart and scales implanted into a human body to make him take over some of the dragon magic stored inside. right now the number of dragon slayers is under 50. the number of dragons still remaining tough is uncertain, some say they are extinct some say about a dozen remain, at this point it is unknown.
