Dragonslayerelf 653 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) (This will be modeled after the wikipedia page for the races. I will see if you guys prefer that over my old style) The Ratlins Ratlins are the deft, quiet, but unbearably traitorous inhabitants of the Underdark1 which a has been destroyed as of late by an unofficial civil war caused by two leaders fighting over a girl. There are only 3 families that surived the war (counts as subraces). The Niteskuttlers, who tend to rely on what dark areas they find. They make decent assasins but when in a position of open combat, have a tendancy to run and die. There is also the Warrats, the family that is not great at open combat but can run around a man and get a few hits in. Lastly there is the Warkoors, which are generally the rats imprisoned and are the ones who built the tunnel complexes of the Ratlins. Appearance The Ratlins have all the general appearance of a rat humanoid, but have a few different mutations that have occurred in the families [blakc fur, bright blue outer eye] [slightly buff, red eyes, brown fur] [brown fur, disproportionate arms, red eyes] Niteskuttlers Warrats Warkoors Race Profession: None, but they can Race Profession:None, but they can Race Profession: have an extra as they have empty heads have an extra due to empty heads Miner Profession Boosts: None, they have Profession Boosts: None, they have Profession Boosts: an extra skill extra skill 40% Miner -40% Lumberjack Race Perks: Race Perks: Race Perks: + Night Runner: Speed boost at night +Ratlin Warrior: They have the + Digger: they dig faster - Scrawny: They are very weak in face to ability to do a dodge every - Scrawny: They are weak face combat 5 minutes Aging A Ratlin is mature at about 6-7 years old and only live up to 30 years. By the time they basically grow twice as fast as humans. They have litters of 5-10. 2 or 3 survive birth and there is a 50% chance one will survive to 7. Language They have learnt the common tongue from hearing many people pass by, but a very crude version, and they only are able to have the vocabulary of an 8 year old human. They once had a rat language but it was lost long ago. Religion They are faithless, and if they did have a faith they betrayed their god long ago. They have a tendancy to betray and backstab. Mannerisms Betrayal, backstabbing, and unfaithfulness is the life of a Ratlin. Weaknesses They are very weak physically and mentally and are not great at establishing things It does not take long for Ratlins to build their population. The problem they have is maintaining it. Ratlins die every day due to diseases, infighting, mugging, robbery, terrorism, betrayal, assasination, revolts, revolutions, and tournaments.

TeaLulu 1783 Share Posted April 8, 2015 ET is officially banned from throwing rat themed events on account of I hate it. Off that subject I don't think we need anymore rats, snakes, moles or bats on the server and definitely not humanoid versions of them. Basically this is just furry humans tbh. I am afraid I cannot support. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Propheteer 10 Share Posted April 8, 2015 It's only a thought, which is hilarious if you understand the reference. #Windmill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaDelta 968 Share Posted April 8, 2015 What are the kharajyr then? And its not rats its ratmen. There is a difference! A race that had been supported since Aegis and has had donations, dedicated followers, and dedicated lore. Though, it has pretty much gone to the sewer now. Comparing what you have here to what the Kha had, this is literally a speck of dust. If you want any form of recognition with a race, you're going to have to put in more work than this, along with making the post look nicer, cause right now the post looks very unprofessional. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would I go about making the post look more professional? I tried to add photos and pictured and stuff but it said "This image extension is not supported" every time. I would like some degree of help on that regard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0rdLawyer 2271 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I don't support a new race/creature because it just splits up the roleplay hubs even more. We don't need anymore races/creatures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Jandy_ 3193 Share Posted April 8, 2015 -1. no more races, interesting idea though, maybe if it wasn't a full culture, maybe just rare appearances played by ET members, I would +1 that idea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonslayerelf 653 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 There are only the basic 4 races and then Kharajyr! Why is everyone so against more races? It would add a great deal of diversity to the universe and make a good starting point: Something you'll probbly learn the ropes with but not have a long lasting character unless you wanted to. Rat people rule! (and also if you havent noticed i'm starting out kinda small: 3 families with 1-3 people in them, which will hopefully expand. We'll see if it does good: If it doesn't, scrap it. If it does, keep it and maybe it'll replace the khas someday [they kinda are dying out]) -1. no more races, interesting idea though, maybe if it wasn't a full culture, maybe just rare appearances played by ET members, I would +1 that idea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawnmowerman 3040 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I don't think LotC needs more races, and if anything, the Kharajyr's should try to be saved, because they've got interesting lore, it's just because of people that do edgy **** and break said lore that they're frowned upon. As for your rat race, the lore itself is very bland and just unprofessional, if you really want to get that accepted, you need to flesh out everything much more and not make it a rainbow with so many varied colors. For now, it's definitely a -1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiltMemes 367 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Sadly, we already have too many races in LoTC. Yes there are four, but not to mention the separate cultures, groups, beliefs, et cetera. That divides the playerbase a dozen times over. Adding another race would only cause more splitting. The lore itself sadly, just seems like a mix of all the races (except elf) in a big mix. Please make this a thing, I literally took at least 3 or 4 hours googling and typing and looking for images and a load of effort was put in. To put it simply: I really like rat people. You only took hours, where people pin and plan out their lores for weeks, and if large- months. I'm sorry but I can't support this :c Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonslayerelf 653 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 I have revamped it...something tells me this is not going to get accepted due to all the problems with it and I have a life to live, so I cant dedicate long periods of time like weeks, months, years, etc. and there are also too many races already so...might as well quit on the rat people :I Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
