Moreau (0 points)

*The legend behind the creation of the Moreaus has to do with the sad history of Noble Island, by events since the beginning of time. A greedy and power-hungry kind, the Darash Humans, colonized the eastern side of the gigantic piece of land, destroying forests, enslaving animals, and polluting the air and seas. What prevented them from taking the other side of the island were the impassable Ivory Mountains.*

*The Gentle Lady, Goddess of Nature, wept in despair, seeing her children being wiped out by the insane power of humans. Angered from having seen his sister cry, The Indomitable, the cruel and vindictive God of the Monsters, rose from fury at the highest point of the Ivory Mountains, in the form of the fearsome White Death, the multi-headed dragon.*

*Breathing death from each and every head, White Death slaughtered the Darash people in a matter of days. Even the mighty weapons and machines of their people only managed to cause more death and destruction to their fellow men, spreading disease and plague in the lands already so profane by the massive remnants of smoke and toxic waste. The Kingdom of Towers on the east side of Noble Island was all that was left of the ancient Darash. Now a forbidden land, which only few brave souls dare to go to, and even fewer are those that return from there.*

*Fearing the end of the still fertile side of the island, twelve animals asked the Wild Brothers to be human, in order to defend themselves against any threats that profaned their sacred land. Despite the pain and reluctance in her heart, the Gentle Lady granted their wish, while the Indomitable howled at the affront. And so the Moreau came about.*

*The people of Moreania arrived in Arton from the Ocean. Their religion is focused on an alternative version of Allihanna and Megalook, known as the Gentle Lady and the Indomitable. Although they came from animals, they are human for all purposes. Sharper and darker nails, hair of exotic colors, ears or tails of animals and eyes of exotic colors and shapes are traits that differ from ordinary humans, but only aesthetically.*

There are only 12 kinds of moreau: Buffalo, Lion, Rabbit, Bat, Bear, Crocodile, Fox, Snake, Owl, Hyena, Cat and Wolf. Moreau will present traces of one of these animals, but will never have mixed traits.

**• Versatility.** Like humans, the Moreau learn fast, acquiring diverse knowledge more easily than members of other races. You can buy a single skill of your choice for 1 point. Alternatively, you can exchange the skill for an extra free power from your first class (and only from the first class; if you acquire another one, you will receive only one free power).

**Moreau’s Heirs**

A little more rare among their race, the animal traits of the Heirs are even stronger, almost reminiscent of their ancestors. Many heirs have an even more animalistic appearance, like a wolf's head instead of just ears and a tail.

*In addition, you can purchase extra features from your chosen heritage. Extra features cost 1 point, and can only be acquired at character creation since they are features that you were born with.*
