Races

This section covers all the different character races. Planet Solaris is home to many unique races. Some of these races come from other worlds, some from other dimensions, and others are simply native to the planet Solaris. Races affect a character's physical appearance, worldview, characteristics, and other strengths and weaknesses.

Angel

Angels, ethereal beings of light and purity, embody the pinnacle of creation, forged by the hands of the High Creator, Noma. These extraordinary souls, meticulously tested through trials of immense fortitude, ascend to a higher plane of existence, adorned with wings and imbued with divine power. Their radiant beauty and serene demeanor reflect their benevolent nature. With their mastery of divine magic, they heal the afflicted, safeguard the innocent, and vanquish the forces of evil. Angels, beacons of hope and light, stand as unwavering champions of righteousness.

Ardanian

Hailing from the frigid planet Ardanor, Ardanians are a race of pale or occasionally blue-skinned humanoids renowned for their strength, ferocity, and martial prowess.

Beastkin

Beastkin, a diverse race of humanoids created by the enigmatic Builders, emerged from a process of hyper-evolution induced by nanites.

Proud and independent, Beastkin value their families and friends, demonstrating a peaceful nature while remaining steadfast in defense. Their diverse skills, including hunting, tracking, survival, and combat, make them valuable allies in any undertaking.

Demon

Demons, malevolent beings from the Afterplane's Infernal Chasm, embody chaotic evil and an insatiable thirst for power and destruction. Their humanoid forms, often adorned with horns, tails, and glowing eyes, conceal immense strength, durability, and mastery of dark magic. A constant threat to all life, demons relentlessly pursue their destructive goals, leading armies of evil and sowing chaos wherever they tread. While rare, instances of demons turning away from their wicked ways exist, earning them both scorn from their own kind and the potential to become valuable allies.

Dragonkin

Dragonkin, descendants of the awe-inspiring dragons, embody strength, courage, and wisdom. Their scaled, winged, and tailed forms, often capable of assuming a human-like guise, reflect their formidable power and magical prowess. A force to be respected, Dragonkin possess combat expertise, mastery of arcane arts, and exceptional leadership qualities. Their loyalty and unwavering willingness to aid the needy make them invaluable allies.

Gorgon

Hailing from the planet Gorgonia, Gorgons are a race of imposing humanoids renowned for their strength, resilience, and petrifying gaze. Their towering physiques, adorned with green or tan skin, often conceal sharp teeth and formidable claws. Gorgons possess remarkable strength and durability, enabling them to wield powerful weapons with ease. A proud and self-reliant people, Gorgons stand firm in their beliefs and fiercely defend their loved ones.

Grovekin

Grovekin, believed to be among the planet's oldest inhabitants, are plant-based humanoids. Preceding the Builders' hyper-evolutionary nanites, they emerged from natural flora. Their humanoid forms, composed of entwined vines, roots, and verdant skin, vary in evolution, with some possessing human-like features and others retaining plantlike elements like leaves, bark, or blossoms. Usually peace-loving and attuned to nature, Grovekin excel in agriculture, hunting, healing, and protective magic. Their diverse skills and harmonious nature make them invaluable allies, always seeking peaceful resolutions.

Guardians, born from stone tablets in the Guardian Caverns, are noble beings summoned from an alternate timeline to safeguard Solaris against impending peril. Their humanoid forms embody strength, resilience, and combat prowess, further augmented by their mastery of protective magic. Selfless and deeply committed to upholding justice, Guardians stand as unwavering allies, ready to sacrifice everything for the protection of those they cherish.

Human

Torn from their own timelines, Rift Jumpers, as they are known, populate the diverse landscape of Solaris. Marked by their otherworldly origins, these humans carry the echoes of countless lives lived across the dimensions. Whisked away by a blinding blue light, they awaken on the shores of Xhan Tarn, amidst the rustling leaves of the Osperian Forest, or face the terrifying maw of a sandworm in the unforgiving Kazarial Desert. Their arrival transcends temporal boundaries, weaving threads from every era of Earth's history. Resilient and adaptable, Humans thrive in the face of adversity. They are equally adept at cultivating fertile fields, mastering the intricacies of arcane arts, or wielding weapons in the throes of battle.

Mechanoid

Mechanoids, brainchild of Krauser Killener, are sentient robotic humanoids, each possessing unique personalities and strengths. Initially conceived as mechanical companions, they have evolved into an independent race, eager to explore and learn about Solaris. Encouraged by Krauser, they seek purpose and understanding, guided by the pioneering Mechanoid, Rusty. Mechanoids' versatility, encompassing combat, engineering, and technology, makes them invaluable allies, always ready to lend a helping hand.

Revenant

Revenants, born from defiance and errant magic, dance between life and death. Scars paint their forms, whispering tales of struggle and escape, flesh or bone echoing an unyielding spirit. Memories may sting, and phantom hunger gnaw, yet they yearn for life's warmth, proving their connection to the world. Fueled by the same energies that threatened them in life, they find strength in shadow's kiss or the divine embrace, forever marked by the magic that set them free. These beings absorb the energy that created them and a harmed by opposing forces. For example, a Shadow Revenant will take 50% more damage from Divine energy but gain 10% health from Shadow energy. This is the opposite of Divine Revenants.

Solarian

Solarians, once believed to be the first native race of Solaris, are a highly evolved species created by Dakon the Builder. Bathed in the radiance of their binary stars, Alpha and Omega, Solarians possess a natural affinity for magic, evident when their skin subtly glows as they manipulate its energy. With physical traits closely resembling humans, Solarians are distinguished by slightly larger eyes, tanned skin, and an inherent connection to the planet's magic. Their proud and noble nature is evident in their loyalty, peaceful disposition, and unwavering willingness to protect their loved ones. Solarians' diverse skills in combat, magic, and leadership make them invaluable allies.

Vegonian

Vegonians, descendants of an ancient Solarian tribe corrupted by Bahumura's dark influence, bear physical marks of their transformation, such as dark skin tones, fangs, and horns. Mistrusted for their past, Vegonians have embarked on a path of redemption, establishing a new home in the Kazarial Region and striving for peaceful coexistence with other races. Their diverse skills in combat, magic, and leadership make them invaluable allies, committed to protecting those they cherish.
