often attack icarii cities and sometimes one will rape its victim. The hybrid
offspring that result from these attacks have formed communities of their

but with broader, thicker, leathery wings. Their hands and feet look like
claws and they have sharp pointed teeth. Their hair ranges from blood red
to black and can grow right down to their feet. Despite this they still retain
the beautiful bodies of the icarii and wear very little clothing, as they
do not feel the heat nor cold. They are less intelligent than the icarii and
have the instincts of the harpies, making them viscious predators, but ones
with far more humanity than harpies. The
more animalistic of them never even learn how to talk, and do nothing but
breed, kill and eat. On the other side of the spectrum some try and live with
the icarii but they are feared and not trusted.

Aukas are violent towards anyone not of their species

they must return to the water at least every few weeks or risk drying out and
becoming very sick. They pray to Zoria, the water goddess.

they want. Will sleep with just about anything. In a dungeon they charm their
enemies, but lacking the time to go all they way, they simply kill them. N or
CN only.
The
Shie are mysterious and mainly keep to themselves. They have skin in varying
shades of blue, with hair ranging from silvery blue to black. They wear long
black cloaks to conceal themselves and move stealthily through the shadows.
Their stature is similar to that of a man, but with longer limbs and hunched
backs. They crave power in all forms and use large menacing weapons such as
warhammers and scythes, and learn powerful dark shadow magic. Although known
to embrace chaos, most are not evil, despite their power cravings. They form
friendships slowly, if at all, but protect what friends they do have with
fierce ferocity, and this is the only moral code they follow. They prey to
Sharaat, god of shadows. They may be N, CN, NE or CE.

one species. These skills are seen as an advantage by the shadow people and
they are envied by many.

Avatars:
Avatars
are low-level gods incarnate. They seek to earn respect among the other gods by
becoming weak mortals, and yet still ataining huge levels of power. They look
and have some of the skills or magic of their godly selves. For example an
Ulric Avatar (barbarian god of winter and hardship) would be a tough old
barbarian. A Khorne Avatar (Chaos god of blood) would most likely be a ravenous
demon. Just remeber they have given up most of their power and skill to become
an avatar, (otherwise they would not impress the other gods,) and so will only
start off as strong as your average warrior, and since they are mortal they can
still die. They do not pray to anyone but themselves and so must rely on luck.
Their alignment is based on their chosen god.

more fragile than rock though.

create hybrid offspring, the most common being Elf and Human, but other races
have done it aswell.
