CAMBIONS

SKIN: Reds, Purples, Greys
HAIR: Black, Brown
EYES: Black, Brown, Blue
HEIGHT: 170cm to 196cm / 5’7” to 6’5”
SEXES: Male and Female
MAGIC: High
LIFESPAN: 407-410 years
PHYSICAL MATURITY: 37 years
SOCIAL MATURITY: 55 years
GESTATION: 12 Months
AVG OFFSPRING: 2

BIOLOGY

Cambions are the largest species on Asmoria even if you don’t include their horns. Their defining physical traits are their tall horns, long pointed ears, and long tail. One pair or horns is most common, with two pairs occurring in only 5% of the population. More pairs can occur, and are considered a blessing. Horns are not present at birth and take a long time to grow in, usually between the ages of 20 and 35.

Sexual dimorphism is not overly pronounced in cambions. Females of the species have some breast growth and their horns point more outwardly, though not always to an obvious degree.

Cambions are born in pairs of fraternal twins. Identical twins may be considered the same person depending on when and where they are born. This most likely began due to the idea that non-twinned cambions are cursed. Triplets of one fraternal and two identical children would still be thought of as twins, as the identical pair was one person inhabiting two bodies. Fraternal triplets and single children are considered unlucky.



DWERROW

SKIN: Human Range
HAIR: Brown, Red, Black, Blonde
EYES: Brown, Blue, Hazel, Green
HEIGHT: 114cm to 132cm / 3’9” to 4’4”
SEXES: Monosex
MAGIC: Very Low
LIFESPAN: 195-201 years
PHYSICAL MATURITY: 32 years
SOCIAL MATURITY: 50 years
GESTATION: 8 months
AVG OFFSPRING: 1

BIOLOGY

Dwerrow are known for having beards, which begin growing shortly after birth. This is their most defining trait to most on Asmoria, though some people consider it their unisex nature.

In early history many people assumed dwerrow had two sexes, as their languages have three pronouns once mistaken as being for children, men, and women. In reality there is one for children, one for adults, and one for adults who have carried a child.

Dwerrow are physically very square. They often have square jaws and rectangular bodies.



ELVES

SKIN: Human Range
HAIR: Brown, Blonde, Red, Black
EYES: Grey, Blue, Green, Brown
HEIGHT: 157cm to 185cm / 5’2” to 6’1”
SEXES: Male and Female
MAGIC: Above Average
LIFESPAN: 470-486 years
PHYSICAL MATURITY: 44 years
SOCIAL MATURITY: 100 years
GESTATION: 10 months
AVG OFFSPRING: 1

BIOLOGY

Elves are extremely similar to humans in appearance from their skin and hair color to their height. They have an extremely high percentage of grey eyes in their population, with 80% of all elves possessing them. Their ears have a point on the end, but they are not as long as a cambion’s ears.

Elves are the longest living mortals on Asmoria. Their longevity has created two major types of cultures in elf dominated areas. One places an emphasis on taking things slow and encourages becoming the best in a single field of choice while the other culture uses their many years to try as many things as possible, creating a large population of jack of all trades.

They are the second most common species on Asmoria.



HALFLINGS

SKIN: Human Range
HAIR: Brown, Black, Red, Blonde
EYES: Brown, Green, Blue, Hazel
HEIGHT: 90cm to 106cm / 2’11” to 3’6”
SEXES: Male and Female
MAGIC: Average
LIFESPAN: 133-150 years
PHYSICAL MATURITY: 25 years
SOCIAL MATURITY: 30 years
GESTATION: 8 months
AVG OFFSPRING: 1 or 2

BIOLOGY

Halflings are the smallest species on Asmoria. They are often shorter than dwarfs of other species. They can appear as children to people unfamiliar with them, but those familiar with them can easily see the difference.

Halfling ears can have a slight point on the end. Never as much as elves but noticeable enough.



HUMANS

SKIN: Human Range
HAIR: Black, Brown, Blonde, Red
EYES: Brown, Blue, Hazel, Green
HEIGHT: 152cm to 184cm / 5’0” to 6’0”
SEXES: Male and Female
MAGIC: Average
LIFESPAN: 80-90 years
PHYSICAL MATURITY: 16 years
SOCIAL MATURITY: 18 years
GESTATION: 9 months
AVG OFFSPRING: 1

BIOLOGY

Humans are a species of averages. They’re not too tall or short, not too long lived or short lived. They’re naturally average with magic. Of course, these other species wouldn’t be too exciting if they actually existed.



KENETS

SKIN: White to Dark Grey
HAIR: White, Grey, Blonde, Black
EYES: Yellow, Green, Orange, Purple, Blue
HEIGHT: 152cm to 168cm / 5’0” to 5’6”
SEXES: Male, Female, and Intross
MAGIC: Average
LIFESPAN: 65-74 years
PHYSICAL MATURITY: 14 years
SOCIAL MATURITY: 17 years
GESTATION: 9 months
AVG OFFSPRING: 1

BIOLOGY

Kenets are an odd species. While they are most related to cambions, the divergent evolution they went through makes them seem like an alien species. Their skin is typically white but can also be different shades of black. Their sclera are black and their irises come in a rainbow of colors.

Kenet ears are bat-like and they have pronounced canines. Their limbs are noticeably longer in proportion compared to other species. Sexual dimorphism is similar to humans in males and females, which is why those words are used to describe them, though females have longer limbs and males have longer ears. Intross individuals develop breasts and have notches on the ends of their ears.

Kenet biology is unique in that it takes three members of the species to produce young. MIF and IIF are common combinations, and MII and III are possible but uncommon due to complications that can arise when intross give birth. Females give birth to the young and males are the only members of the species that can reproduce with other species.



PEARL DRAGONS

SCALES: Red, Copper, Green, Blue, Black
EYES: Brown, Hazel, Green, Grey
LENGTH: 330cm to 350cm / 10’10” to 11’6”
HEIGHT: 212cm to 228cm / 6’11” to 7’6”
SEXES: Male and Female
MAGIC: Very High
LIFESPAN: 456-460 years
PHYSICAL MATURITY: 80 years
SOCIAL MATURITY: 80 years
GESTATION: 5 months
AVG OFFSPRING: 2 or 3

BIOLOGY

Pearl dragons are the only draconic species to attain sapience. Their population size is relatively stable, as they require a large amount of food and don’t wish to compete with their own offspring. Their most common source of food is in the ocean, as it is easy for them to fly great distances and this lowers their conflict with bipedal species.

Sexual dimorphism in pearl dragons is minimal. Males used to be brighter and have more complex patterns on them, but females have become similar in appearance in recent history. They carry their eggs for 5 months before laying them. Incubation can take from 15 to 17 months.

Some pearl dragons have begun mutualistic relationships with large settlements. The population helps them with their high food needs while the dragon provides protection and sometimes transportation.



TRIBOLONS

SCALES: Copper, Green, Black, Blue, Red
STRIPES: Orange, Yellow, Blue
EYES: Green, Hazel, Blue
HEIGHT: 117cm to 135cm / 3’10” to 4’5”
SEXES: Saresse, Sarose, Naresse, Narose, and Mavose
MAGIC: Low
LIFESPAN: 110-114 years
PHYSICAL MATURITY: 16 years
SOCIAL MATURITY: 20 years
GESTATION: 1 months
AVG OFFSPRING: 1 to 3

BIOLOGY

Tribolons are small bipedal lizard people. They have horns on their head and spines only on their long tail. Shiny scales are a sign of good health. These people are adapted to dry desert regions. They have found success in colder climates but do not do well in humid areas. They lay eggs which they incubate for 6 months.

Tribolons possess five distinct sexes, though two may be considered female and three considered male. Saresse females and sarose males have yellow markings. They have shorter horns, a longer tail, and a smaller stature than the other sexes. Naresse females and narose males have orange markings. They have longer horns, an average tail, and a larger stature than the other sexes.

Mavose males have blue markings. They have average horns and stature but a shorter tail. Any pairing of male and female sexes can produce any sex. Tribolons are typically split into three genders socially with marking colors determining gender. In English they would be yellow = feminine, orange = masculine, and blue = neuter, though those are oversimplifications.



VENIANS

SKIN: Human Range
HAIR: Any Color of the Rainbow, White
EYES: Matches Hair
HEIGHT: 142cm to 160cm / 4’8” to 5’3”
SEXES: Male and Female
MAGIC: High
LIFESPAN: 80-85 years
PHYSICAL MATURITY: 16 years
SOCIAL MATURITY: 18 years
GESTATION: 9 months
AVG OFFSPRING: 1

BIOLOGY

Venians are a shorter species, though not as small as dwerrow. Their defining feature is their colorful hair and matching eyes. This color can be bright and obvious or it may be so dark as to almost be black.

Hair and eye colors are passed down genetically, with children inheriting one of their parents' colors. Colors from several generations back can reappear.



VIVERRIDS

FUR: White, Black, Brown, Yellow
PATTERNS: Spotted, None, Striped
EYES: Brown, Black, Yellow, Green, Blue
HEIGHT: 170cm to 188cm / 5’7” to 6’2”
SEXES: Male and Female
MAGIC: Below Average
LIFESPAN: 55-60 years
PHYSICAL MATURITY: 10 years
SOCIAL MATURITY: 13 years
GESTATION: 6 months
AVG OFFSPRING: 3 to 5

BIOLOGY

Viverrids are a lanky cat people with long tails that evolved thousands of years ago from a line of genets. They are the shortest lived people on Asmoria.

There is no noticeable sexual dimorphism in viverrids unless a female has recently given birth. Fashion trends in viverrid dominated areas are often extremely gendered, as this is the easiest way for them to express their identity.
