Dominant Races

Arkai is a massive world, indeed. And like each world, there is a variety of cultured sentient beings. The more dominant ones, the more common ones, are Humans, Elves, Beastials (shown on the right), and Half Breeds.

Humans
The fastest-growing race in the world. They have an amazing imagination, great numbers, and the power of technology at their fingertips. They carelessly pollute the air with their smoke, enforce slavery of Elves, and see the Beastials as nothing more than wild talking animals. Humans show little regard for nature.

Elves
The second-most common race. They are very nature-based, and have a strong alliance with the Beastials. Most Elves specialize in wielding bows and blades, but will refuse to use a flintlock pistol as opposed to Humans, who prefer flintlock pistols and other firearms.

Because the Humans pollute their air, and their territory, Elves show great distaste towards Humans. Some may even attack them.

Many Elves are also slaves to the Humans, used for (but not limited to) cleaning, cooking, and "recreational purposes".

Beastials

Beastials are quite similar to elves, only they share many many animal-like qualities. The most common out of these are Feline Beastials and Canine Beastials. Like the Elves, Beastials favor nature environments over synthetic steel. Unlike the Elves, Beastials will do just fine without a bow or a sword, as they all share sharp claws and fine fangs.

Beastials and Elves do not mind living together in a shared environment, however, they prefer living around their own kind. Not for racial reasons, but they share different living conditions. Beastials tend to be a bit more primitive (messes everywhere, publically nude, etc), whereas Elves tend to be neat, and finely dressed.

Half-Breeds (Halfies, Untrue Beastials)
Half-Breeds are rare, as they are seen as an abomination. They share Human and Beastial qualities alike, such as the face of a human, yet the tail of a dog, or the body of a horse. Because of high racial tension, Half-Breeds live alone and secluded, because each share traits the other race loathes and dislikes.

Like Humans, they have a great imagination, but lack class. However, they have built up a strong immunity to the cold, because it is their natural environment.
