Character Races:
-Human:
The most potent of races, Humans, also called Humes, are the largest populated species of the lands. Though they have a short lifespan they have turned the world into their own. This race is extremely adaptable and can almost do anything.
[[Recommended Class: N/A]]
Life Span 70 avg.
4'-7' tall.
Lvl 1 HP: 8-35 %roll (+Con roll)
Lvl 1 MP: 2-10 %roll (+Wis roll)
-Seeq:
Humanoids of great girth, considered somewhat duller and cruder than humes. Though they appear ponderous, they move with surprising alacrity, making excellent warriors whether on the attack or defensive. However, their barbarous natures and lack of courage find them engaged more often as bandits or worse. Very fond of gemstones, gold, and other shiny objects, with which they richly adorn their bulky forms.
[[Recommended Class: Berserker]]
(Race gets +1 Str and -1 Cha)
Life Span 160 avg.
3'-8' ft tall
Lvl 1 HP: 10-40 %roll
Lvl 1 MP: 0-4 %roll
-Bangaa:
Humanoid race, their bodies covered in small, hard scales, with distinctive long, drooping ears. Bangaa are nimble and strong, living up to twice as long as the average hume. In manner and intelligence they greatly resemble humes, and as such as the most integrated of the humanoid races in hume society.
Even so, some humes call the bangaa "lizards" behind their backs, but this is considered a slur, and is like to deeply offend any bangaa within hearing.
[[Recommended Class: Thief]]
(Race gets +1 Dex and -1 Cha)
Life Span 60 avg.
5'-8' ft tall
Lvl 1 HP: 7-37 %roll
Lvl 1 MP: 2-8 %roll
-Moogle:
In certain regions, Moogles call themselves with the pronoun "mog," but typically they end their sentences with the word "kupo." Their intelligence and lifestyles are similar to Humes, which makes it easy for Moogles to live amongst the Humes. With their dexterous hands, they are knowledgeable in the field of engineering.
[[Recommended Class: Geomancer]]
(Race gets +1 Dex, +1 Int, -1 Str)
Life Span 250 avg.
2'-4'
Lvl 1 HP: 5-34 %
Lvl 1 MP: 4-10 %
-Viera:
The Viera live deep within the woods; male and female Viera live separately from each other and only make contact and communication when the need arises, though this may not be necessary due to their lifespan which is three times that of Humes. Viera have superb eyesight compared to that of Humes. It is said that they can spot their prey from as far as 10 km (6.21 miles) distance. Not to forget their sense of hearing, this allows them to tell the difference in footsteps which comes in handy if they are being hunted themselves.
[[Recommended Class: N/A]]
(Race gets +1 Dex, +1 Wis, -2 Con)
Life Span 500+
5'-9'
Lvl 1 HP: 6-32 %

-Burmecian:
Cleyrans are a race of anthropomorphic armored rats in Final Fantasy IX who inhabit Cleyra, the land covered in a constant sandstorm. They share a biological and cultural heritage with the Burmecians, but were separated by a feud hundreds of years past. Sickened by the Burmecian's dedication to war, a separatist group left the Realm of Eternal Rain and founded a new city in a giant tree to the west. In spite of this feud, the two nations are on reasonably good terms, and offer the Burmecian King refuge following the attack of the Black Mages.
[[Recommended Class: Dragoon]]
(Race gets +1 Dex)
Life Span: 1000+
4'-7'
Lvl 1 HP: 8-37

-Nu Mou:
The Nu Mou are dog-like in appearance, being very squat with elongated faces and tails. Other than that, not much is known about the Nu Mou, as they are a very reserved race, prefering to stay quiet in many situations.
The Nu Mou excel in magic, since their small bodies restrict their physical abilities. However, when magic won't do, they can also call on the abilities of monsters to help.
[[Recommended Class: Mages]]
(Race gets +1 Wis, +1 Int, -1 Str)
Life Span 100+
4'-5' ft tall
Lvl 1 HP: 4-29 %
Lvl 1 MP: 8-40 %
-Esper-born:
Espers were created as a result of humans coming into contact with Magic and the Warring Triad during the War of the Magi. Those who could not use Magic fought against the Espers, who could not control themselves. However, the goddesses eventually realized that they were doing wrong, and they decided to seal themselves away in the forms of Statues. They gave the Espers their free will back, and asked the Espers to protect them.
