Physical Appearance
The catriders live in the jungle and they must be comouflaged, so no bright red colors etc. Also they are small, think wolfridersize, they would be pale-skinned, because they live at night.
The Nomads live in a cold area all the time, meaning they can't were summer clothes. Most of the nomads would have a slight tan, allthough it's could there is sun, they are small (wolfrider size)
With the wavedancers you can choose wether they have guils, fins, tails, webbed fingers etc. Be creative. They are pale skinned, also they are tall (human size)
The gliders are tall (human size) they have a tan complexion (none of there are pale skinned), blond hair is extremly rare with them and i will alow only one glider to have blond hair.
Family, love/life mates and recognition
Gliders, catriders and nomads recognize, they will only have kids when they recognize or when they have the help of a healer. When you recognize you will have a child. Wavedancers don't recognize anymore, they live a dangerous live and they can't wait till recognition to happen. Wavedancers don't have soulnames, nor have they soul brothers and sisters. Recognition with Gliders is very rare, latest recognition was a hundred turns ago. Recognition with Catriders occurs often, they can even recognize a view times with different persons. A Catrider has never recognized more then 4 times though.
For family (sibs, aunts, uncle, parents, kids etc.) please look between the other chars. Otherwise we have tons of loose families.
If family is missing or deceased, please write about that in your personal history.
Catriders almost always have siblings, with Wavedancers it isen't uncomen, but with the gliders and nomads it's very rare for they moslty only recognize one time.
Twins are very rare with all tribes,i will alowe one or two twins in the whole world of Dran and you have to earn this right by showing avid participation.
Elves always know who their parents and siblings are, so no 'unknown' please.
Age
Gliders and wavedancers are immortal, they won�t die of old age. Nomads and Catriders are mortal. The oldest Catrider that has lived was Sniffle, he was 3783 years old when he died, but that�s very rare. The oldest Nomad was Grendor, she was 3654 years old when he died. The youngest glider at the moment is a 100 years old.
this is what you will be called at your age at the Nomads and Catriders:
0-20 turns old= child
21-100 turns old= youth
101-600 turns old=adult
601-2000 turns old=elder
2001 turns old and older=mother or father of memories (very rare)
this is what you are called at your age when your a glider or wavedander:
0-50 turns old=child
51-250 turns old=youth
251-2000 turns old=adult
2001-40.000 turns old=elder
40.001 turns old and counting=mother or father of memories (hasn�t occured yet)
Names
There are also some name guides. Nothing big really so don�t worry. The only thing is dat Gliders always have names that just consists of out of sounds. So that would be something like Grendor, Melain, etc. Catriders most of the time have names that are made out of a view other (allready existing words) like Sniffle, Shadeseeker etc. It mostly has something to do with the characters personality, looks, hobbies etc. A Catrider can also have a 'sound name', but it's not very common. Nomads and Wavedancers can have 'soundnames' and 'wordnames'. If you have a hard time thinking of a name here are some you could use:
Ansah
Betrio
Caltryhn
Dyo
Evyral
Fren
Greyania
Hoeisi�
Iunor
Jetui
Kyleth

Absolutly not allowed
No wanderers what so ever, their are only four tribes on this planet and no extinguished tribes has been encounted for so no "i'm the only survivor" elf, elfs are loyal to their holt and they don't leave just to search for adventure.
Maybe someday in the future i will alowe ONE crossbreed for someone who has participated so extremly well he deserved something special, but as of know NO crossbreeds.
