The Fantasy System

Races

    In the game Fantasy there are 16 races, however, I don't reccomend you to use all 16 races when you play the game.  For role-playing purposes, it is much simpler to limit your game to only 5 or 6 races.
    Here is a list of all of the races and a description of what they can do and also, if any, what their attribute maximums and minimums are:

Race: Racial Description:
Humans Humans look like the people you see everyday walking around in the real world.  They don't have any attribute minimums or maximums and they recieve no added abilities because of their race.
Snaca Snaca look like giant snakes with arms.  They have no legs but they crawl on the end of their tale instead of on their whole body.  They have lizard skin just like all snakes.  Their skin has the same colors and patterns that normal snakes have.  Their Dexterity maximum is 15 because they have to crawl instead of walking or running.  Their Agility minimum is 15 because snakes have faster reflexes then normal people and they can crawl faster than normal people walk.  Also, they have a Charm Minimum of 15 because they can hypnotise people which is a form of Charming.  Snaca gain the ability to coil their bodies around things because of the unique shape of their bodies.  They also have a forked tongue which impares them from talking normally, their language is impossible to pronounce without a forked tongue.  Some of them, but not all of them, have a rattle on the end of their tail.  As mentioned earlier in the paragraph, they also have the ability to hypnotise their victims.
Elves Elves look like tall, skinny, humans with long, pointy ears.  They have a Strength maximum of 15 because Elves tend to be weaker than Humans.  They have a Dexterity minimum of 10 because Elves tend to be more manueverable than Humans.  They also have an Agility minimum of 10 because they tend to be faster than Humans.  They also have an Appearance minimum of 15 because Elves tend to be much more physically attractive than Humans.  Elves also have a Charm Minimum of 12 because they are quite charming.
Hobbits Hobbits look like very short, chubby, hairy, Humans.  The only places hair grow on Hobbits are on the tops of their feet and on the backs of their hands and on the tops of their heads.  The soles of their feet have calouses that are an inch thick on the bottom as the result of them never wearing shoes.  They have a Strength minimum of 5 because they tend to be slightly stronger than Humans.  They also have a Defense minimum of 10 because they tend to be able to Defend off attacks much better than Humans.  They have an Endurance Minimum of 15 because they can take a whole lot more pain and suffering than a Human can before they give in.
Dwarves Dwarves also look like like short, chubby, hair, Humans.  However, there are a few differences.  First, their hair only grows on the top of their heads, on their faces, and on the rest of their body.  Second, Dwarves, although, shorter than Humans, are still taller than Hobbits.  Finally, there are also differences in their attribute minimums and maximums.  They get a strength minimum of 5 because they are slightly stronger than humans.  They get an Agility maximum of 15 because they tend to be slower than Humans.  They get a Defense minimum of 5 because they can defend attacks slightly better than Humans but slightly worse than Hobbits.  Finally, they get an Endurance minimum of 20 because they can Endure through a whole lot before they give in, even more than Hobbits.
Trolls Trolls are much taller than Humans and much hairier.  They have horns on the top of their heads that are much larger than the horns of other races.  They have a strength minimum of 10 because they are quite a bit stronger than Humans.  They get an Agility maximum of 15 because they are a lot slower than Humans.  They get an Appearance maximum of 10 because they are quite a bit less physically attractive than Humans.
Orks Orks are about the same height as Humans.  However, they are slightly stronger than Humans.  They are slightly hairier than Humans.  They tend to like to have peircings on their faces, most often in their noses.  Orks have a strength minimum of 6 because they are somewhat stronger than Humans.  They have an Appearance maximum of 15 because they are quite a bit less physically attractive than Humans but they are still more physically attractive than Trolls.
Goblins Goblins are actually slightly shorter than Dwarves.  They have varying skin colors.  They have all of the normal skin colors that Humans have plus they have green, red, and blue.  They have two fairly small horns sticking out of each side of their heads.  Their appearance maximum is 12 because they are less physically attractive than Orks but still more physically attractive than Trolls.  Their Strength Maximum is 10 because they are quite a bit weaker than Humans.  They have an Agility Minimum of 10 because they are much faster than Humans.  Also, they have an Intelligence Minimum of 8 because they are slightly more Intelligent than Humans.
Icelings Icelings look similar to the legendary Fairies from the fables and Fairy tales of the Middle Ages.  However, their wings look similar to the wings of a grasshopper and are colored.  All of the Icelings have the same colored skin, blue.  They always have some sparkling magical frost dancing around them.  They have aStrength Maximum of 8 because they are much weaker than Humans.  They have a Dexterity Minimum of 10 because they are somewhat more manueverable than Humans.  They have an Agility Minimum of 15 because they are a lot faster than Humans.  Also if they are magical they get a M. Str. Minimum of 15 and a M.Def. Minimum of 15 because they tend to be far more magical than Humans.  Obviously, because of their wings they have the added ability of flight.
Windlings Windlings also look similar to the legendary Fairies from the fables and Fairy tales of the Middle Ages.  Their wings look more like the wings of a butterfly on the females, however, on the males their wings are somewhere in between the wings of a grasshopper and the wings of a butterfly.  Some of the more magical Windlings have a sparkling magical dust floating around them, however, the less magical ones don't.  They have a Strength Maximum of 10 because they are slightly stronger than Icelings but still much weaker than Humans for the most part.  They have a Dexterity Minimum of 15 because they are much more manueverable than Humans.  They have an Agility Minimum of 10 because they are faster than Humans but, not faster than Icelings.  If they are magical they get a M.Str. Minimum of 10 and a M.Def. of 10 because they are more magical than Humans but not as magical as Icelings.  Windlings also gain the added ability of flight.
Obsidiman Obsidiman are very tall.  They look like what a Human would look like if there was a Human made completely out of rock, because that is pretty much what they are.  They can be any color that rock can be.  They have a Strength Minimum of 15 because they are extremely strong in comparison to Humans.  They have a Defense Minimum of 15 because they are also much better at defending off attacks than Humans.  However, they have a Dexterity Maximum of 20 because they are slightly less manueverable than Humans.  They have an Agility Maximum of 12 because they are much slower than Humans.  
Centaurs Centaurs are Half-Human, Half-horse people.  They sometimes have  the signs of antlers growing on top of their heads, but they actually do not grow full antlers.  Their skin color is the same as Humans, but, of course, they still have their hair color.  Their hair can be any color that a horses hair can be.  The color of the hair on the top of their heads always matches the color of the fur on their lower body.  They recieve a Dexterity and Agility Minimum of 12 because they are far more manueverable and fast than most races.  They also have a Defense Minimum of 8.
Tigrisians Tigrisians are Half-Human, Half-Tiger people.  Their long tails give them excellent balance.  Also, the shape of their ears give them slightly heightened hearing.  Finally, their eyes reflect light instead of absorbing light, giving them excellent nightvision.  They always have some type of striped pattern on their fur.  They have a Dexterity and Agility Minimum of 13 with added bonuses for anything with Dexterity or Agility that involves balance.  They get an Endurance Maximum of 15 because they can't take as much pain before they give in as a Human can.
Raderians Raderians are Half-Human, Half-Rat people.  Their tails are designed differently than the Tigrisians.  Instead of helping with balance, the Raderians tail serves as a sort of, extra limb.  All Dexterity tests with a Raderians' tail are -2 attribute values.  This represents the fact that they are not quite as manueverable with their tails as they are with their hands.  They have a Dexterity and Agility Minimum of 10.  Also Raderians have natural nightvision.  Raderians also have huge ears in comparison to their size which gives them even better hearing than Tigrisians.  Also, they have a Luck Minimum of 12.  
Ogres Ogres are similar to troll in appearance however, they really look more like exceptionally large Humans with small horns on the sides of their heads.  They recieve a strength Minimum and Defense Minimum of 10.  They have an Endurance Minimum of 10, and they also have thick, leathery skin, which adds +2 to their Defense when being attacked in any way.
Draconians Draconians are the Half-Human, Half-Dragon people.  They have sharp fangs in their mouths which are not poisonous.  They have wings, however, over time their wings have weakened, so they cannot fly with them, they can only glide.Their skin can quite literally be any color, they have lizard scales, not skin.  They are the only other race, besides the Snaca, to have a forked tongue.  However, Draconians can still talk to other races even though their forked tongue impares them from having a language that can be understood.  Their language can be understood by the Snaca however.  The reason they can still talk to other races is because they have the power of telepathy.  For most Draconians, it goes no further than the ability to speak to others using your mind, however, for some, they can actually move objects with telepathy.  They have a Charm and Luck Minimum of 10.  They recieve an Intelligence and an Endurance Minimum of 15.

    Racial Backgrounds
    Humans:  Humans have an average lifespan of about 70 years.  They tend to be about 5' 6" tall on average.  Their weight is usually around 175 lbs. on average but can be up to 300 lbs.  Humans tend to be social chameleons.  Whatever situation comes at them they adapt to it.  They always have the most technicologically advanced society of their time.
    Vistil:  Vistil have a lifespan of about 350 years.  They tend to be about 5'8" tall, however, if you counted the length of their tails that they crawl on they would be about 12' tall.  Thus, the length of the tail that they crawl on is about 6' 4".  Their weight is usually around 380 lbs.  Vistil are sly and under-handed.  They are mostly out for their own personal gain.  However, at the same time they are very naturalistic and also very friendly.  They are always very polite and almost never insult anyone.  To see a Vistil even call a person stupid is a very rare occurence.  Vistil, as already stated are naturalistic, thus, they live in clay houses and their houses furninshings are mostly organic.
    Elves:  Elves have an average lifespan of about 400 years.  Their height is about 6'8".  Their weight tends to be about 180 lbs.  Elves are the most sociable race.  Elves are peace loving and since they normally don't like violence, they have to come up with a reason why "violence was the only solution", in every situation that calls for violence.  Elves tend to live in houses made of stone and wood and furnish them with very rare antiques.  Elves are also very charming and very physically attractive.  
    Hobbits:  Hobbits live for about 250 years on average.  They tend to be about 200 lbs. in weight and 4' 8" in height.  Hobbits are the least social race..  Most races don't even bother with them since they never seem to cause any problems.  Hobbits hate violence even more than Elves.  The only thing Hobbits like to do is sit in their favorite arm-chair and blow smoke-rings from their favorite pipe.  Hobbits live in Hobbit-holes which are basically houses that are completely underground.  The only thing on their houses that isn't underground are the windows and doors.
    Dwarves:  Dwarves have an average lifespan of about 100 years.  Their average height is 5' 3" tall.  Their weight is usually  about 240 lbs.  Dwarves like social situations sometimes but don't other times.  It depends on what kind of a mood they are in.  Although they are almost just as technologically advanced as the Humans, they are much more earth loving.  They do the best they can to keep their cities pollution free zones.  Dwarves are very strong.  Because of this they like to do "tough-people" activities, such as, drinking alcohol, making things with their hands, and fighting.
    Trolls:  Trolls have a normal lifespan of around 80 years.  They usually are about 7' 8" tall.  Their weight tends to be about 280 lbs.  Although, most people think that Trolls are big, tough, stupid people, they actually are not all that stupid.  Yes, they are big and tough, but not stupid.  In fact, Trolls always are the ones who stay on-task.  They cannot be easily side-tracked into doing something else once they've started doing it.  Once they've finished one task, they'll often move on to a new one.  The only time Trolls aren't working is when their making love, when their eating and when they are sleeping.  Usually, when a Troll finds a task he or she doesn't know how to perform, the Troll sees this as a challenge, and thus, learns how to perform this task.  Because Trolls are almost constantly working, or seeking knowledge, they tend to know much more about the way the world works than other races.  They are also second to Humans as far as technology.  They would be first, except all of that working makes them very tired and so they normally spend 10-11 hours, sometimes even as much as 15 hours, sleeping.
    Orks:  Orks have a lifespan of about 150 years.  They tend to be about 5' 2" tall.  Their weight is usually close to 210 lbs.  Orks are stronger than Humans as well, they don't like interacting with other races very much.  The Only races they interact well with are the Goblins, the Trolls, the Ogres and the Draconians.  Orks like to travel a lot.  They are often times either on top of an animal or inside a vehicle.  Orks have a high value on honor.  They hold strong to such ideals as : "Don't fight an unarmed man", and "Don't attack someone who is physically weaker than you".  Orks tend to live in huts, shacks, or caves.
    Goblins:  Goblins have an average lifespan of 130 years.  Their average height is 5'. Their average weight is 90 lbs.  Goblins are, as people say, "crafty little devils".  They like to trick people for the fun of it.  They aren't in this for their own personal gain, however.  If tricking a person helps them out, ok.  If it helps the Goblin out instead, ok.  They just do it for the laughs.  Goblins drink a whole lot because drinking tends to make them laugh even more than when they're sober.  Goblins have a good amount of technology.  Not as much as the Humans or Trolls mind you, but enough that they could put up a fair fight.
    Icelings:  Icelings, being the highly magical beings that they are, have an average lifespan around the area of 800-900 years.  They have an average height of 2'.  Their average weight is about 25 lbs.  Icelings are the absolute most magical race of the game.  All of their technology is in some way related to magic.  For instance, their pots and pans are self-heating, not because of tiny circuits in the metal, but because of magical fire spells that are placed on them.  Their civilization makes quite a hefty profit from selling their magical-technology to other races.  Icelings like to have both fun, and alcohol in good taste.  They only make jokes that everybody can laugh at and they only drink wine.  Plus they never drink enough wine to make them drunk.  
    Windlings:  Windlings have an average lifespan of about 50 years.  Some people believe that Windlings could have a much longer lifespan if they weren't so annoying.  Their average height is 1' 10".  Their average weight is about 30 lbs.  Windlings are usually reffered to as "bothersome".  They annoy almost every race.  They only get along well with, Goblins, Raderians, and Snaca.  They are extremely fun-loving.  They are also very persistant.  This persistance is usually what annoys people.  The reason is because when they get very persistant about something they will repeatedly refer to the same things over and over again in questions.  Also they love a good challenge.  The worst thing you could possibly say to a Windling would be "I dare you to do this", or "I bet you can't do that", because the second you say that, not only will they except your challenge, but they will do everything in their power to prove you wrong.
    Obsidiman:  Obsidiman have an unknown lifespan.  There isn't one recorded death of an Obsidiman by old age as of yet.  However, some Human scientists have predicted that their lifespan is somewhere around 1,000 to 1,150 years.  Their average height is 8'2".  Their average weight is 500 lbs.  Most people think Obsidiman are very serious, higly introverted, and basically just a bunch of party-poopers.  However, this is not the case.  Obsidiman like a good joke just as much as the next guy.  They also talk to anybody and everybody if given the proper chance.  The only reason they got their reputation is because they know that "There is a proper time and place for everything ".  They will not tell a joke that purposely offends someone because "That is not appropriate behavior".  They also ignore people who don't address them properly.  They will not respond to a person who says "Hey, Obsidiman!", or "Hey, Rockboy!", because that "That is not the way civlized people address a person they don't know.".  The only time an Obsidiman will talk to a person they don't know is if that person properly addresses him as "sir", or addresses her as "madam".
    Centaurs:  Centaurs have an average lifespan of 220 years.  Their average height is 8'9".  Yes they are even taller than Obsidiman, the reason is, think of the height of a Human from the waist up, it averages about 4'.  Than you have the average height of a horse from the neck down, it averages to be about5'.  Put it together and you actually get 9'.  However, the average Centaur doesn't live up to the same standard that those statistics live up to, thus, the average Centaur is slightly shorter than 9'.  Finally, the average weight of a Centaur is 375 lbs.  The Centaurs are social out-casts.  Not, in the way that no other race likes them, but in the way that they won't ever invite them to social events.  Mainly because a Half-horse, Half-Human tends to make quite a mess at a banquet or ball.  Some Centaurs are allowed to social events because they allowed a person from another race to teach them the proper way to behave at social events.  Centaurs are servant-like in most cases.  They love taking on jobs such as waiters, cooks, chefs, and guards.  However, the one thing that you never, ever, ask a Centaur is "Can I ride on your back?".  This is absolutely the worst possible way to insult a Centaur.  In their opinions, as servant-like as they may be, they are still, at least, higher than the animals.  Thus, they are deserving of enough respect that they shouldn't have to haul around people or equipment, other than what they are willing to, on their backs.  They will haul around their own equipment on their backs, obviously, but, don't ask them to haul around you or your equipment.  The only time a person or anything else of a person's will be hauled around on a Centaurs back is when a Centaur specifically offers to do this for someone.  Also, Centaurs don't just offer to do this for just anyone.  They only do this for their closest friends and relatives.  
    Tigrisians:  Tigrisians have an average lifespan of 100 years.  Their average height is 5'11".  Their average weight is 180 lbs. including their tails.  Tigrisians are stealthy creatures.  They are humanesque in appearance so they are considered people, just as all races are.  Unlike most stereotypes suggest, they do not go "meow", and they don't "purr", while having sex, at least not usually.  Being the fast, stealthy creatures they are, they make perfect spies and ninjas.  They are quick and quiet and have good balance and hearing.  They have a society that is almost as advanced as the Humans.  They live in wooden and brick houses and furnish them with whatever they can afford.
    Raderians:  Raderians have an average lifespan of 120 years.  Their average height is 5'5".  Their average weight is 130 lbs. including their tails.  Raderians are the ones who are extremely cunning, clever, and the most spy-like.  The make great assasins, and spies.  The are most often used for their natural born talents in covert ops missions.  They tend to live amongst others without them knowing just as real rats do.
    Ogres:  Ogres have an average lifespan of around 90 years.  Their average height is about 7' 11".  Their average weight is about 300 lbs.  The small horns on their heads tend to be about 4"-6" long.  Ogres are considered to be big brutes who don't care about anyone by most people.  This is not true.  They realize they are bigger than most people and try not to get in their way.  However, when the time comes to fight, they are truly a force to be reckoned with.  They usually have as good of technology as Trolls or slightly better.  Plus, with their great size and Strength, they are nearly unstoppable in battle.  However, they don't fight usually unless they have to or if someone really makes them mad.  However, it doesn't take much to make an Ogre angry, they are very bad tempered.
    Draconians:  Draconians have an average life span of  anywhere from 100 to 300 years, although cases of Draconians living up to as much as 500 years have been recorded.  However, these cases don't happen very often.  They have an average height between 6' and 6'11".  Their average weight is about 200 lbs. including the weight of their tails.  Their wingspan tends to be around 7' from one tip to the other.  Draconians are very Knightlike.  They have a fairly high system of Honor established in their society.  The are the ones who tend to be Knights, Warriors, and Soldiers.  They have tails that are around 3' or 4' long, which also usually either have a spike or a sharp hardened piece of fleshy-like bone on the end.  They have the ability to spit fire but it is limited, they can only do it for a few seconds and once they have done that they have to charge up the magic it used for a good many hours.  Obviously, how much time they have to recharge their fire depends on how well trained the Draconian is with his or her fire.  This training can only happen with time.  Some of the most skilled Warriors known have been able to hold their fire for 30 full seconds and only had to recharge it for 1 hour.  These Draconians were also very elderly.  Draconians are also the most knowledgable race.  They are the only exception to the rule that every time Magic or Mana re-enters the world, each race has to relearn Magic or Mana.  They still hold the knowledge of Magic and Mana in their libraries because they don't update the books of their libraries as most races do, they simply keep adding new ones (books, that is).  Their civilization is advanced in both technology and in Magic.
Character Creation
    
    Obviously, in order to understand character creation there are a few things you need to understand about the character sheet.  So, the first thing you will learn is what all of the parts of the character sheet are for.  

Character Description

    The first part of the character sheet is the Character Description section.  It includes the vital information about your character which allows yourself and others to have some idea of what your character would look like.  It inlcudes such things as your name, your hair color, eye color, skincolor, race, gender, etc.
