As stated before, anyone from any race can exist in this world, it is fantasy after all. This thread will be here for whatever race you want to be in the world. I will be adding to this thread of the known species in this world in a bit, so keep this one in mind if you don't want your character to be human.
Human
While they are the majority of the race that dominates the world, they are by no means superior. They are weak compared to all the other races and can die incredibly easily if not using some form of magic talisman, rune, special spell, or armor.
Orcs
There are many different species and variants of Orcs, and if one isn't careful they could mistake one for another. It's important that one knows the differences as immediately as they can, as it will depend greatly on their survival.
Orc's are green-skinned creatures with large sharp K9 teeth and pointy ears. They are taller than humans are but Orc's are broader and more muscular. Orc's have larger heads than humans but have thicker skulls and they have smaller brains. Another biological feature of Orc's is their ability to suffer large wounds that wound almost certainly kill humans or other races. They seem to possess a remarkable regenerative & immune system. Orc's are an aggressive race that forms tribes or warbands. Sometimes these warbands rally together to form mighty armies. Orc's are savage fighters and preferred tactics are to attack in large hordes. Orc's use varying weapons to fight with depending on the intelligence within a particular tribe.
Savage Orc's which is a tribe that inhabit forests are poorer developed and tend to use clubs and simple weapons to attack with and do not use armour. A more advanced tribe would be equipped with forged weapons and armour. Orc's use an unusual mount to get them around quickly they use giant ferocious Boars. These make good attacking cavalry.
Black Orcs are the biggest and strongest of the green skins, their skin is much darker than that of Orcs, Goblins and Hobgoblins. Black Orcs tend to be better armed than other Orcs so they were heavy armour and carry around larger weapons. Black Orcs are more intelligent as well are often seen to be leading the Orc tribes. Black Orcs tend to be much better organized and infighting within a tribe does not succumb to petty squabbles. Other Orcs tend not to squabble when black Orcs are around either because they don't want to be picked on by their bigger cousins.
Goblins
Goblins vary in size but are smaller than Orcs or Hobgoblins. They are a green-skinned race, which have pointy ears. Goblins have sharp pointy teeth. They look thin and scrawny. Goblins sometimes are seen as more intelligent than their cousin Orcs, but are often bullied by their bigger and tougher relations. Goblins form tribes, in which the biggest and hardest goblin is the leader. Goblins are often seen in the company of Orc tribes. Goblins use a varying array of weapons well anything they can lay their hands on. Goblins are seen to ride wolves into battle, in which case these tend to be the vanguard of an Orc & Goblin army.
Hobgoblins
Hobgoblins are close relations to Orcs and Goblins. They are distinctly taller than Goblins but not as muscular as Orcs. Hobgoblins are renowned for been cowardly and sneaky. They have green skin like their cousins and large k9 teeth with hooked noses and pointy ears. Hobgoblins use a varying array of weapons and like goblins they ride large wolves into battle.
Fairies
Fairies come in all sorts of guises some look like Goblins, a typical fairy is a tiny human-like creature that is 12 inches or more in height, and have delicate wings on their backs. These creatures tend to be friendly with humans but humans rarely ever see them. Fairies tend to have specific purposes like the tooth fairy that goes around collecting teeth that are placed under pillows and swaps them for some money. Sometimes fairies are guides to lost people that request their help.
Elves
Much like the others, there are many different types of elves. High Elves are a tall, slim and regal built race. They are seen as a noble race, and tend to be beautiful or handsome in appearance. Elves are a paled skinned race. Elves are strong and agile in comparison with humans and are often seen as more intelligent and wiser. Elves have a longer life span than humans do. Elves build refined weapons that are seen as master craftsmanship by other races. They use Swords, bows and lances mainly they don't like using crossbows or gunpowder weapons.
The Dark Elves or Drows are the same as there high elf cousins a tall noble-looking race with pale skin and are slender but unlike High Elves which are masters of light magic's, dark elves practice dark sorcery and have become very adept at it. Dark Elves live in great cities made of dark stone. Dark Elves are constantly at war with their High Elf kin. They use masterly crafted weapons but they carry repeating crossbows, which seem to be unique to them. Dark Elf females that follow the path of sorcery are called Witch Elves and are a warrior sisterhood. Dark Elves always seem to where dark colours such as blacks, deep purples and dark blues.
Wood Elves are similar to High Elves and Drow they are a slender noble race with pale skin and often pointed ears. Wood elves live deep with the forests and are guardians of the natural world. Wood elves work with the forest they try not to damage the forest like other races do. Wood elves are extremely agile, there main method of attack is the bow, but they will use hand-to-hand fighting. Wood elves like to use stealth as there are fewer of them compared to the High Elves and Dark Elves. Wood Elves prefer not to wear armour this allows them to move more rapidly through forests though they tend to wear fabrics in greens and browns to match in with their surroundings, this helps them to move around unnoticed.
Dwarves
Dwarves are a short, Muscular race, that the males and females look alike as both have beards while they are less they still have them, and in dwarfs beards mean a lot. Dwarves live deep beneath the mountains and have mined themselves vast strongholds beneath theses mountain peaks. Dwarves are immensely strong and resilient they have broad hands and feet. Dwarves are known to be stubborn and un-forgetting. Dwarves respect the following things; Age, Wealth and skill.
Dwarves favour axes as a weapon but compared with other races dwarfs have embraced technology and use a variety of weapons that are more advanced than others of the ancient races. Dwarves will use cannons, and flame cannons and catapults. Dwarfs like the Elves take pride in their work and their axes show immense craftsmanship. Dwarves have a hate of Goblins & Orcs who have raided there strongholds many a time and took away their wealth. Dwarves also distrust Elves due to an ancient war that was fought between them.
Lycans And Other Changlings
Unlike most folklore, Lycans are not the mindless creatures that people often mistake for what they call Werewolves. Lycans are human, fully capable of sentient thoughts and actions. They are only born with Lycanthropy in their veins that causes them to transform every full moon. It is a violent, slow process as their bodies uncontrollably go under the transformation from a human body, to that of a wolf's. Their bones snapping and shifting, changing shape until they fully are that of a beast. They are on all four's as their appearance is that of a very large wolf. Their coats may be of any color, ranging from white to black, to brown to a light ginger color. Their eyes can be any color as it changes from their human form, to wolf form, often times their eye colors are amber or gold, to sometimes being a bright red or green, seeing as Alpha Wolves have blue eyes.
Among the other Changelings, there are many. But one thing remains the same, they have a human form. After their first transformation at the time of puberty, or whenever it is a full moon they have complete control over their actions and thoughts and can communicate with others through telepathy.
Dryads
Dryads are female spirits of nature, which preside over the forests. A dryad is born with a certain tree species and a particular tree, which she watches over. If the tree is destroyed then the Dryad perishes alongside the tree. Dryads punish mortals that somehow damage the trees.
Nymphs
Nymphs are creatures that inhabit the most secluded and peaceful areas of the world, close to a pure water source e.g. a spring. Nymphs are a peaceful race they hate evil and ugliness. They try to avoid conflict and they flee if challenged. When the situation is desperate a nymph will defend themselves by using their abilities to blind or confuse there attacker using there magical powers. Nymphs look a lot like humans apart from they have pointy ears like elves, they are nature's embodiment of physical beauty. Nymphs are ever young they are charming graceful and intelligent.

They tend to rely on brawn rather than brains. Ogres are good fighters and other races try to recruit them as mercenaries for armies.
