Thessia/Races

## Humans

Not much different from Earth's humans. They have the racial trait of being born with brown hair, green eyes and a beige skin tone. Only when a Human becomes a Mage will their hair change to black, through red, blue and finally violet, depending on their power level.

## Hybrids

Similar to humans in body parts, but have animals ears instead and tails. Hybrids come in different Sub-Races depending which path their ancestors chose. While they look more Human than Beast, they can through Awakening transform into more bestial forms, from more hair and sharper claws to a large form that resembles more their Beast-path.

## Elves

Not much different in appearance from Humans, having instead fairer skin tone, blond hair, blue eyes, and more strikingly, pointed ears. The biggest difference being their lifespan that ranges from hundreds of years to a few millennia. Elves have a fast maturation (for their lifespan), in which a Elf child will mature at the pace of a Human child, but slow down as they age. Elves Mages don't suffer a hair color change, as their Race is naturally predisposed to Magic.

**Dark-Elves**: Similar to Elves, but instead have a darker skin tone (dark-brown), black hair and brown eyes. In contrast to Elves they have a shorter lifespan, ranging in the few hundreds.

**High-Elves**: Similar to Elves having instead silver hair and ruby eyes. Contrary to Elves their maturation rate is inline with their lifespan which is far longer than Elves, millennia for them being decades for Humans. A pre-adolescent-looking High-Elf can be older than an adult-looking Elf. Due to their experience and life force, High-Elves have exceptionally high Magic.

## Dwarves

With an appearance similar to Humans except having the height of Human children, but having a mature appearance with brown hair, brown eyes and round ears. Their life expectancy is slightly longer than Humans, along the two hundreds. Culturally Dwarves will dedicate themselves to handicrafts.

## Fairies

Similar to Elves they have a long lifespan, pointed ears, and have an immature body, but are distinct with their frail insect-like wings and their high affinity to light. Others types have an extreme physiology that allows to more deeply connect to nature.

* Light Fairies:

**Nymphs**: they have ears that look and function like gills, allowing them to both breath on land and underwater, making them amphibian, also their skin is smooth and blue, and they have webbed extremities.

* Slime Nymphs:

**Dryads**: their skin looks and functions like leafs, allowing for self-sustenance, their legs functioning as roots, and their hair as vines. Their maturity is dependent not on age, but the resources that are available to them, with an adult body ranging from adolescent to fully mature.

* Mushroom ?:

**Gnomes**: they have thick brown skin that have lumps that mimic, in texture and coloration, rocks, and they don't mature past adolescence, having an appearance that matches their stature. The prefer to live underground and have a high tendency to manipulate their surrounding rocks, with which they cover their bodies to compensate for their frailer bodies.
