Racial Titles

A common element of any fantasy world based Isekai is the inclusion of fantasy races. While the Lore thread that talks about the world and the Ryken Protectorate will delve more into the races present in the world, I would like to make a post to cover how Races are handled in the system. Isekai's have allowed for a wide variety of races, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Our system does not set out to create a massive race list and attempt to balance the selection of one race over another with each other. Instead, we have chosen to allow people to make their own races and grow and develop them over time into more powerful races or more unique variants.

Introducing the Race Titles. Race Titles are important for creating a foundation for roleplay for the character. The race title sets your character's race. The characters race is obviously tied to visual appearance, but also to cultural significance.

Ex: An elf character will obviously be more likely to be allowed into elven villages. Areas where elves are persecuted will be more likely to harass the elf character. Npc's that like elves will think more highly of you and be more likely to treat you favorably. Similarly, a character with a lizardman type title would have the right to partake in a lizardman ritual that allows them to find a mate and/or grow wings.

## Race Trees

First choice you will make is deciding which racial tree your character is in. **You may only choose one tree when starting out** There are 4 racial trees:

### Human

Humans are normal humans and the most dominant and numerous race in the world.

### Beast

Beast characters generally have some form of animal in their ancestry. They typically have a wilder look to them but are mostly human on the surface.

### Fae

Fae are creatures infused with magic and nature. They are the least numerous people in the world but some of the longer lived.

### Monster

Monsters are a race of creatures with some form of sentience and a natural inclination to devour/kill the other 3 race

The tree you choose will determine the type of character you are running as well as what titles and some skills become available to them. While more explained in titles, you will have a free title available to your character based on the tree you choose. Once you claim a title for one of the trees, your character will be exclusively known as a member of that tree. You will then open up the ability to acquire additional titles within that tree as your character advances in prowess and abilities.

## Racial Evolution

As characters grow in power and ability, they eventually unlock other titles pertaining to their racial tree. Ex: human tree character acquires the skill that allows flight. They then earn the title Aerial. Equipping that title turns the character into an Aerial. In this way, everyone can slowly but surely achieve the race they want to play as with more powerful races being available as you climb the ladder.

Below are listed the currently recorded advanced races along with their requirements. Note, in order to access a tree, **you must have the corresponding base racial title in order to access that tree.**
