Name of your race: Saa'Venari
Race Description: One of three sub-species of Venari, Saa'Venari are tall, light and agile. They have pale skin, only a shade lighter than that of a Vampyre, and all have amber or green cat's eyes. Any hair is commonly black, and nearly all have a small pair of straight horns protruding from their forehead.
Common powers/attributes: Saa'Venari worship Saa, the Venari diety of concealment, shadow and preservation. Saa'Venari, although resembling humans, have enhanced hearing, sight, allowing them to see well in the dark, and smell, including an innate ability to sense magic. They are uncanny hunter-trackers and scouts, and most employ stealth tactics to dispatch an enemy. They have a severe reaction to loud, reverberating noises if they are too close, such as the ringing of a church bell. Such sounds cause them to collapse into spasms of pain as the brain goes haywire. Although most recover thereafter, a few suffer from brain tumours which are ultimately fatal.
Where does your race come from?: All species of Venari hail from Espadorr, a plain locked in perpetual twilight save for a mere three hours of daylight. Espadorr consists mostly of swamps, forests and jungles.
Reaction to kin: Saa'Venari react wel to other Saa'Venari, and often greet each other by scraping their horns together gently. Mates or lovers usually greet each other by nuzzling noses. Saa'Venari do not react well to Ko'Venari, whom they warred with on Espadorr.
A Saa'Venari and Ko'Venari who do not meet on the battlefield usually refuse to acknowledge each other's existence.
Kai'Venari, the third species of Venari, are usually greeted as allies by Saa'Venari, though this varies between individuals.
Reaction to other races: Saa'Venari are not judgemental of other races, and are naturally open with other species, only taking offence if a serious crime is committed in their presence.

Short History:
Saa'Venari worship Saa, the lady of night and shadow, who is **en as a benevolent diety, seeing as how the Venari homeworld is locked in almost perpetual twilight.
Saa'Venari lived in the forested parts of Espadorr, and were a mostly peaceful race.
When the Ko'Venari, worshippers of Ko, the Venari diety of hunger and death, allowed their diety to let demons into their souls, they marched upon the Saa'Venari territory, beginning a war of wits and shadows that resulted in a Saa'Venari being tricked into killing Saa herself.
As Ko consumed her soul and drained her of life, Saa sent her faithful to a different plain, one that had been pre-destined as their haven, to await the one who would bring her return, and an end to the threat of Ko and his corrupted Ko'Venari...
That plain was Gielinor.

Name of your Race: They have yet to be named.
Description of Race’s Appearance: A silhouette would be a fairly accurate; simply a canvas of a man - lacking in any features.
Common powers/attributes: Alteration of body shape is an ability they develop quickly, fairly straight forward as to what it means. As they grow older, they also learn quite fun ways of manipulating this, going as far as to suffocate people by entering the target's throat. This ability makes them highly resistant to physical attacks. Arrows and swords may cut through them, but they repair this damage with little difficulty. However they are substantially weak to certain kinds of magic - primarily lightning.
Where does your race come from?: They seem to have been first spotted in caves, though it's unsure where they came from originally.
Reaction to Kin: Friendly. They're strangely unified.
Reaction to Other Races: Depends on past experiences with said races.
Short History: They came, they ate, they grew.

Character Bio
-------------
Name: Ethan Mydr'Ran Saa (Usually just known as Ethan)
Race: Saa'Venari
Age: eighty-five (barely an adult in the eyes of older Venari, looks about twenty)
Gender: twenty-seven! (i mean Male)
Allignment: Ethan currently has no allignment save his devotion to Saa
Occupation:
On Espadorr, Ethan was both a fighter, and a moonsmith (basically, a blacksmith who forges armour and weapons out of a rare ore found in meteorites), in Gielinor, he finds his talents best used in stealth
Powers, abilities and skills:
As well as the instinctive agility, enhanced hearing, sight and smell that come with being a Venari, Ethan is a master of the Saa'Venari single-claw form, as well as a competent Moonsmith and an excellent tracker.
Weaknesses: Apart from the Venari weakness to loud, reverberating sounds (such as a church bell being sounded too near), Ethan's only real weakness is one for chocolate cake (which doesn't exist on Espadorr).
weapons/specialised tools:
Ethan carries an ornate Venari crossbow, which takes bolt racks and can be fitted with a variety of bolts. As well as this, he carries a Venari claw-gauntlet, a common tool amongst Saa'Venari. Ethan also owns a blacksmith's hammer, which is one of his dearest possessions.
Clothing/Armour: Ethan mostly wears dark blue, hooded combat robes beneath a moonstone chestplate, which is light and flexible, but is primarily scout armour.
Description:
Ethan is tall and pale-skinned with black hair and amber cat's eyes, like most Saa'Venari. His hood usually covers his eyes, making only his mouth visible, and he wears a symbol of Saa around his neck (a sapphire set inside crescent moon, for anyone who's interested).
Hair colour: black
Eye colour: twenty-seven! (amber)

Scars/Exotic body features:
Whilst most Saa'Venari have a short pair of horns jutting from their foreheads, Ethan's were cut off after disgracing a priest back on Espadorr. He also has a thin scar running from his left pectoral to his right hip.
Quote: "Shadow hide you, friend, may Saa guide you upon the darkest of paths..."
Short History:
Ethan Mydr'Ran Saa never knew who his forekin (kin who came before = parents) were. He was found on the steps of one of the Saa'Venari's many cathedrals.
Taken in by the priests who lived in the cathedral, Ethan was trained as a warrior of the faith, and his childhood passed mostly in loneliness.
He never knew any fellowkin (kin of the same age = other children), leading to him taking a rather dry and grown-up approach to situations.
At the age of fifty-two, Ethan had the honour of serving Saa herself, in her flesh body.
After the honour of serving Saa, Ethan became a soldier when the war with the Ko'Venari broke out, taking part in the ambush assaults on Bra'Kaddash (the silent city).
At one point, after encountering a particularly brutal Ko'Venari named Castra Tanagra, Ethan received a slice wound to the chest, severely wounding him.
Whilst his wounds were healing, Ethan returned to the cathedral where he was raised, to help lead ceremonies and bestow blessings.
A few months after arriving at the cathedral, Ethan lost his temper with one of the priests who still treated him as a child, and had his horns cut off as penance for insulting an elder.
When Saa was cast down by Ko, Ethan was fighting off the invading Ko'Venari on the steps of Saa's temple.
Upon appearing in Gielinor, witnesses described a pale man appearing in a storm of lightning, screaming before collapsing upon the floor.
