CalebTheCaveman 7 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Cerecrop Half Snake - Half Human This would be a playable character much like the others, with three sub-races. These serpent beings cannot be within cold areas for very long. Although not needing a lot of food, if meat isn't consumed it can sicken them. These creatures are very intelligent and manipulative. They often end up being evil, but some end up good. Basakin - The Warrior. Anywhere from 5-7 feet tall full grown Fang length 2-4 inch fangs Muscular build 150-200 pounds Mamba - The Nimble.

Stockier than normally Jobs typically: Carpenter, Lumberjack,and Miner 150-225 pounds Language/Accent The Cerecrops speak in a language that is very sacred and encrypted. The Cerecrops do not take very kindly when a non-native speaks their language whom is not befriended, it is taken as an insult. The tone that is used from this people is often intimidating but calming all together. It is often also is known to be near hypnotic when spoken very clearly and precisely, but it is rarely spoke as such for it takes years of practice.

These life spans vary depending on if they eat correctly, environment, wounding, birth defects, and diseases. Aging Cycle: "Egs" 0-8 weeks old: A Cerecrop remains in a slimy leather like shell for approximately eight weeks before hatching. During these six months the Cerepcrop forms it's main body type (arms, legs, a tail, body, organs, head, scales, eyes, ect). During this age the Cerecrop can only slither around on its body for short periods of time before getting tired. The young being has also not developed it's fangs yet so is not fatal. It cannot walk, talk, stand, speak, or feed itself. The Cerecrop is roughly one foot tall and 25-45 pounds. "Bas" 02-60 months(Five years) old: The Cerecrop during this time is able to slither around for long periods of time, it has also developed small fangs (1/2-3/4 inch), able to walk short distances, and pick up items with a weight about half of its own. Although still unable to speak the young snake being can make light and basic sounds. The Cerepcrop now is 1.5 feet tall and 75-100 pounds. "Amis" 5-15 years old: The Cerecrop has now the ability to walk stably for the most part occasionally falling, still unable to run without falling often. The young beings fangs are now halfway grown (length varies on species). Now able to speak in basic sentences. The age is considered the learning age for this being as it absorbs most information. During this part of the Cerecrops life it is only half the height it's suppose to be and the full weight. "Tenas" 15-25 years old: The Cerecrop has now filled out and gained the ability to run, the Cerecrop's fangs hand fully come in and now is pushed out of the home if they haven't already. "Ueser" 25+ years old: The Cerecrop now is view as a respectable entity of the Cerecrop community. They're expected to have a family and create a legacy. Cerecrop Lore The legend of the Cerecrop is one sacred to the race, and only truly known by the Daemon known as Lucien. Lucien was fascinated with serpents, and had thought about creating a race of serpent beings since the beginning of the Aegis. Lucien spent day and night planning, working, and developing the perfect mix of Serpent and Man. Lucien knew when the races came over in their ships that is was time to show the race he had created, he had spent years testing and revising his creation. Every day Lucien would have flash backs of his first attempt. He thought he would never for get how it screamed in pain thrashing and convulsing until he couldn't watch anymore. when Lucien could no longer stand to see his first disciple suffer he cut off its head hoping that it was a quick death, but upon the unveiling of his final creating Lucien could not be more pleased with himself. He smiled down upon his creating to see a small serpent child crawling before him. Lucien, afraid of how the other races would react if they found his child, took it to a cave where a homeless elf had once to live. Lucien began to immediately attempt to teach all that he knew to the child. Lucien spent every day for 5 years teaching, and training his child, he wanted to ensure that that the race that would develop from this child would be the most intelligent race that Aegis had ever seen. He often fantasized of the day the the Cerecrops were considered a superior race and all races saw the truth. Soon Lucien's child was capable of short term movement. Lucien would begin to take his child, now named Sibilus, out side to train and exercise. Lucien wanted to make sure his disciple was fit as well as intelligent. In his child years Sibilus was very active an sneaky, he had all ways wanted to see the other races that Lucien told him he would someday meet. It was on a warm evening that Lucien was exhausted from training with his young disciple that Sibilus managed to sneak out and began moving in a direction Lucien all ways regarded to as The Oria lands but while he was attempting to make his way there he fell down into a lake and was swept down stream. Sibilus didn't know how to swim so he was flailing and gasping until he fell unconscious. He has awoke washed outside of the oasis, just outside of a small Orc village. The young Sibilus was caught by Lucien, while slithering towards the village very slowly. Lucien warned the young Cerecrop of the Orcs, their viciousness and how they are too ignorant to reason with. He made sure that Sibilus would know to never to trust an Orc, or let them too close. The rest of Sibilus's childhood was being taught about the races, and the Cerecrop language. Once Sibilus had learned the language and about the lore, he finally was able to leave the cave and explore. When he left it was under Lucien's watch and he was unable to communicate with those who would spread the word of his discovery. He practiced blending in with his surroundings to watch the beings around him. Once Sibilus was healthy Lucien began teaching him how to communicate to races, but forbade him from starting trouble. Religious Beliefs The Cerecrop praise Lucien and his __ commands of virtue. This commands are enforced throughout the Cerecrop community and if one is broken they are treated as an enemy of the culture. The commands are as following. Keep thy emotions controlled. Attack only he who violates good. Protect thyself and thy brethren. He who needs shall be helped. He who violates another is violated himself spiritually and requests cleansing . Praying is not a frequent occurrence, as Lucien sees everything they do, and will forgive if they truly are forgivable. If the Cerecrop feels no resent towards Evil actions then Lucien will not forgive and they will not rise to 'The Great Life'. Why 'Cerecrop' isn't going to be another failed race The Cerecrop offers a great new roleplay perspective. A race much like the Kha, but not opposed to war. The idea of snake people often sparks interest within the community, and the community is right. This also offers a group that can work with the passive groups that communicate with animals and plants. Why not at least give it a try? If players don't play on it often enough it would be possible to just kill it off next world. Who knows maybe it'll be a big hit and people will play it more than one of the four main races. "Well there are too many races now!!!1!" There will still be a majority of people playing the main races, and if this becomes a big race then what's the big deal? I have a hard time seeing a problem with diversity, what's the worst thing that can happen, honestly? Please give it chance, ask questions, make suggestions, I poured so much work into this. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard time seeing a problem with diversity, what's the worst thing that can happen, honestly? If I'm being perfectly honest, this would not offer a great roleplay perspective, you merely think it will because it's your lore and are inherently biased towards it. Nor would this ever be a 'big hit'. It would just be yet another drain on the server's playerbase. Even compared to the Kharajyr, let alone the other four races, the lore quality and quantity for this theoretical new race is woefully inadequate. I've seen single cities of another race have more fleshed out lore than this, something that would greatly affect the server. 'They often end up being evil, but can be good' contrasts directly with their religious belief tenets, which seem like a cliche series of white knight oath pledges. This will never work, just being realistic. Instead of trying to make a new race, try to integrate with one of the existing ones, as that is truly something that helps roleplay.
