Kelmar Bloodstone (the fastest running dwarf I have ever seen) has been forming a unit in Dun Abhon called (oddly enough) Clan Bloodstone. I don't have any details as I haven't been in a hurry to join a unit yet.

I'm an interesting mix of things. I probably cross boundaries where most people would cringe of the idea.
I'm japanese born, half vampire(house is undecided)/Elf(Drou).
In other words i'm a freak of fantasy nature. :devil:

I love/hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there's actually nothing interesting about japanese, vampiric, dark elves. You just picked the three most blatant fantasy cliches known to western civilization and rolled them into one big bland ball of dough. Please try again.

I hear dark neko catboys are popular.

Dwarf and proud of it. We do seem to be smallest minority. Also in my realm I'm the only person who is apart of the Reapers. So whenever we do race riots or unit battles its "Alright everybody its the realm vs Hendell." Oddly enough though I have won a couple of times.

I would probably have to go with Orc or Uruk. But I am timid about Uruk cause I know so little of LotR Lore. Orc, with self designed war paint and a viking mentality probably sums it up.

one of the problems with saying that Uruk is a race is your location. in the west we don't have the race, we are orcs or other things that join for the finding of the master orc race.

me, I'm an Oni( Japanese orc equivalent)

I think he means that he is an orcish demon. Though an oni is technically a type of ogre or mountain troll.

'Demon' is a vague term. I am a demi-human version of a bakeneko/nekomata, also commonly referred to as a 'cat demon'. Then there are fox-demons also referred to as Kitsune. There are many other demons in Japanese folklore as well, but I am not nearly as familiar with them as I am with the ones I mentioned.

Well I just started so am still putting it all together but after a bit of deliberation I decided for something a bit different...Half orc/Half elf. Dunno if its been done or not but I figured I might be able to do some interesting things with look, feel and persona.

If you do, please post some pics/info/whatever. No offense to you, but most people have **** garb, don't roleplay AT ALL, and they might as well just be a human.

Every time I talk to someone and their like "I'm a cross between (insert vampire, drow, demon, oriental monster of whatever, etc etc etc.) All I can think is "Wow your black hakamas and plain tunic totally gave that away"

I don't mean to be a sarcastic *, (really I don't) I just find that there is a complete lack of characterization in this game. If people put so much thought into their persona, why not actually put some effort into it too?

LOL I agree. The way I figure it; if you're gonna do something like that then do it. It doesn't have to be phenominal but at least try. I haven't totally worked out the whole look yet but it's gonna be mostly orcish. I'm thinkin something along the lines of pale green and blonde and basically orcish type garb but with elven flare (still in development). :unsure: it's a work in progress so far.

whena a newbie says "I got this character..."
I brow beat them as I shove them around and hit them with any non lethal object in reach.

The beggining of how a character evolves and is created:
All newbie starts off as a RECRUIT FIGHTER
They are
-raceless, sexless, jobless, mindless, weaponless and Naked.
They have
-No past, no future, no family, no backstory, and no existance of any kind.

You might be a Scout Assasin Turtle Clamfolk Vampire in another game.... but if you are a newbie here.... you basicly start out as mentioned above.

AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF FIGHTING, you have an idea of what weapons you best use, you have made your own weapons, and in theme of the unit, you can start figuring out garb. Look into Lord of the Rings, Magic the Gathering, Warcraft, Narnia, and anything else that can help make a persona based on how you fight, part of the team, and how you can roleplay it if you realy need to.

Unless you have a Japanies Anthro themed unit and your leader is a shaman of some sort that looks like he raises the dead.... ZombieCatboySamurai then can be optional.

Until that happen, you are just a Fighter.
and you are to wake up cuddling a dwarf at events

Oni (鬼, Oni?) are creatures from Japanese folklore, variously translated as demons, devils, ogres or trolls.

In chinese it is Guaishen

In chinese it is funny enough "emo"

Oni is a Japanese term, not chinese or Korean or anyone else, though I think that Okinawans use the word since Okinawan and Japanese are almost identical.

that's probably what messed me up.

also the emo part is amazing. should go around and tell people who call themselves emo (this is in real life by the way) that they don't look chinese and sure as * aren't demons. :3

im sure par may be a great western cheater, i dont know though having never met him. however upon watching dagganoth fight i just could not beleive how amazingly good at cheating he was. i mean for those 3 battles before heralds take him off the field for the rest of the event he is just amazing. literally he can take 30-40 clean sword blows to the chest and a face full of arrows and never go down. its awe inspiring
