Hellos,
I'm a new player to this game thought I have larped before. I'm trying to think up a character and I can't pick a race from the descriptions... I was thinking elf or gnome based on the little description I saw. So do you have a race packet that I could use to find out more?
I see... cool! I'm leaning towards elf because I like the concept of being a druid, but my friend thinks my personality is more gnomish. In the other larp I've been in I picked my race to go with the fact that I'm fairly quiet and shy.
Thank you for the replies! ^-^
To quote Pirates of the Caribbean, "They're more like guidelines than actual rules." The descriptions for each race are racial tendencies meant to guide you rather than restrict you. Orn has played host to a diplomatic angori, a kind-hearted uordeq, a crazed empyrean, a savage fairy, and a host of other, shall we say, atypical racial exemplars.
This is just to say that you should play what will be fun for you. If you want to play an elven druid who is very reserved in her manner, you're more than welcome to. :)
:P As there aren't any shy bunny folks. And while I think you'd make an -adooorable- gnome. If you like the idea of elf druid ^_^ I think you'd be able to pull it off well. You'd clearly just be that elf that would ideally prefer to have stayed in her nice quiet grove tending the plants but can't for whatever reason. Also...pointy ears! o_o
WIth the notable exception of fairies, no, we don't have race packets at the moment. However, the next point of development will be an extensive revamp of the lore system, so that might not be true by April. My advice would be to keep your eyes peeled and ask on the forums if you have specific questions about any race in particular.
On that note, I see that I never actually finished the elf racial entry. Sorry about that. Think wood elves; less magical and more naturey. Empyreans fill the highly cerebral, magically adept niche in Orn, whereas elves are renowned for being druids and rangers. Other than that, they're much as you would expect from any other fantasy genre.
