[Idea][Race] Anubis - Constantly Updating Ideas

I'll say this now, at the beginning, so that you don't end up putting a load of effort in on a false hope.

 

Under no circumstances are we going to add a seventh race.

 

The orcs and the kharajyr (especially the kharajyr) desperately need players. The dwarves and halflings are managing but are dwarfed by the humans and elves.

 

halflings represent

It was posted in the middle of the night for most Americans at least. Just cut some slack. Let the Admins shoot it down, or the Lore masters. Better to encourage fellow players than to shoot them down with little authority to do so.

 

I support this comment.

 

Now for the idea, it is honestly really good as far as rp will go. The should NOT talk very much-at all, and strictly use body language, writings, or even tatoos to demonstrate names, traits, etc. That should in fact coincide with Egyptian culture to a point where symbols are names and traits to help distinguish and define this new race. Let their be sacrifices and open slavery as well to go along with religion, as well as chants and such. Now if there will be open slavery (The jews and the Egyptians), then there should be a sub-race of much smaller, yet stockier "dogs" that favor prayer and written languages rather than full out body language. They would generally be workers/farmers and have no control (With a few exceptions) of changing their position in their society.

 

The idea of having packs of dogs wont do too well. small communities with different cultures around athera will do better, even one that only consists of the lesser dogs(Slaves) that are harassed/ threatened by the greater dogs.

 

PM me if you want help with this since I have quite a bit of knowledge on this subject (Being Jewish and growing up with the passover stories)

Make them an event race and nothing more.

That should be done with every well developed "new race" idea.

I do not really care if they aren't going to be added.

 

Then what's the point?

Then what's the point?

 

To develop ideas, see if the players want something else. 

[Lago 2572]

A seventh race isn't going to be added unless LotC has a massive explosion in player numbers, and even then we'd likely stick with six decently populated races than stretch players out over a seventh.

 

It's not happening. A seventh race will not be added, and if you think keeping this thread going will change that you're kidding yourself.

[xXxOneLovexXx 24]

It doesn't have to be an actual race.. Like they said, it could just be a thing only certain will be able to play to keep it more interesting.. 

[Swgrclan 2682]

It still detracts from players that could populate empty races, and if there's only going to be around, say, five, there is little reason to add this. Interesting interaction with foreign creatures doesn't last very long if you want to keep it interesting with low numbers.

maybe this is a khrajyr curse that is done by Meztli to kha who're impure? they live in a area of the kha city and get treated like crap by the kha for being impure?

They are Dogs. It cannot be a curse on Cat people.

[Maliewyn'divu 21]

Actually... it could work. Sort of like a corruption of the Kharajyr... They change into an enemy of sorts... physical pain through the changes. Perhaps it could be part of an epidemic event.

[TavernLich 324]

I could see it working, the problem is this may even lessen the Khas and seperate them if this is a curse making them basically the opposite of what a kha is.

[Narthok 10416]

Sounds like a badass kha to me, why not just have these as a subrace of kha? I'd probably end up playing one

[ShadowoKing 86]

It could work as Kharajyr sub-race, while we would think get rid of current kharajyr sub-races due to you get no benefits at all from those sub-races. Metztli could curse those Kharajyr to 'ugly' creatures which are these or perhaps another experiment shetried in making the perfect military race.

 

No point for them being enemy for Kharajyr as Kharajyr is currently low on population wide. If they could support Kharajyr then it could help both races.
