Races:
(I hope you like text (and non-standard fantasy races using standard fantasy race names))
Dwarves hail from the dark depths of the earth, and much of their physique and outlook reflect this. Their eyesight suffers due to their cave adaptation, so they rely more on hearing and touch than usual. They are, however, a strong people with lithe, powerful bodies suited to climbing and fighting. Their skills in the academic and divine are both aggressively average. They are renowned for their calm nature, dislike of tight clothing, and incredible hearing.
Dwarves are strong. Their thick fur varies wildly in length, but their colouring remains firmly in the rocky greys and browns. Their large ears never fail to be impressive, and their hair is more accurately liked to a mane than anything else. Endurance is average. Despite their eyesight problems, they are often considered to be the best fighters among the races of men.
Elves are very much attuned with nature, and often find solace in their connection to the earth and the wilds. Elves have a way with magic that none of the other races can quite match, but tend to have problems with memorization, math, and other academic pursuits. They are also renowned for their somewhat barbaric nature, dislike of clothing, and ability to eat raw meat. And their intense enjoyment of raw meat. And blood.
Elves are tall and slender and have pointy ears, teeth, and horns. They have a propensity towards long hair, which they often adorn with trinkets. Their cloven hooves and lithe bodies make them excellent runners, but mediocre swimmers and climbers. Endurance is good, but strength tends to be lacking, on account of their sleight frames.
Kobolds are frankly kind of adorable. Adorable and horribly poisonous. It's pretty much the only a reason that such a small and weak race has survived for this long. While they are not particularly strong in traditional academia or magic, they are very crafty and creative. They are renowned for their bleak outlook on life, their love of plain and oversized clothing, and their poisonous blood.
Kobolds are small, weak, very colourful, and incredibly cute. Their skin and hair are both home to bright patterns. Their size means they are actually pretty alright at running and climbing, but fighting and swimming are both a bit above their weight class.
Harpies rule the skies. Or rather, they used to. Their massive, leathery wings still allow for flight, but even the best fliers of today pale in comparison to the fliers of old. What they lack in hands, they make up for with dexterous tongues and feet. While they are somewhat below average with their magical pursuits, their academic skills are beyond compare. They are renowned, somewhat ironically, for their short attention span, dislike of heavy clothing, and their incredible eyesight.
Harpies, outside of the wings, are fairly average. Their short, dark fur and hair is often thought to have been a product of ancient hunting practices, and their four eyes tend towards unusual colours. They are somewhat shorter and significantly lighter than average, but their strength and endurance are both astoundingly mediocre. They are terrible swimmers.
The Mer rule the seas. Their presence on the land is considerable weaker. Their aquatic nature grants them the ability to breathe both water and air, though the transition between the two is hardly becoming. The Mer are not particularly fond of reading or writing, but they have a strong tradition of oral storytelling and teaching that offers a unique perspective on the arcane. They are renowned for their positive outlook, favor of heavy clothing on land and tight clothing in the water, and incredible aversion to the sun.
The Mer are sleek and powerful swimmers. Their large, black eyes and smooth, pigmentless skin are the obvious reasons for their dislike of the sun. They are, however, somewhat bioluminescent, and are never truly in complete darkness. They are surprisingly mobile on land, but are terrible at climbing.
