All of the standard races are acceptable as characters, though half-orcs are especially rare and not well-received. Special races might also be chosen if you tell me what race you wish to use and seek my permission first. I also have included a number of custom 'beastman' races which players can select if they so choose.
Lupin
+2 Str +2 Con -2 Int
Scent; +4 Tracking by smell
Low-Light Vision
Battle Fury: As Barbarian Rage, except +2 Str, +2 Con, +1 Will Saves, -1 AC. Can fury for 2+Con Mod +1/2 level rounds per day. If character already possesses a rage or frenzy class ability, extend the duration by 1/2 level rounds a day (minimum 1).
Natural attack: Bite d4 + 1/2 str
Lupin are a humanoid race with wolf-like features. Their bodies are covered in a dense fur ranging in color from brown to black to gray and their faces end in a snout. They have a clan based society though individuals are not restricted from leaving to travel or even settle in other territories. Most other races treat lupin carefully as they are generally aggressive towards people that they don't know, though once a friendship has been formed they find the lupin to be a steadfast, trustworthy, and loyal companion. Lupin adventurers are fairly common and their natural warrior talents serve themselves and their companions well.
Woren
+2 Dex +2 Int -2 Cha
Base Speed: 40
Low-Light Vision
+2 Acrobatics, +4 climb, +2 Perception
Weapon Familiarity*: Treat Katana, Tetsubo, Wakizashi, and Shuriken as Martial weapons. Treat Nunchaku, Kama, Siangham, and Sai as Simple Weapons
Natural Attacks**: 2 Claws d2 + str, Bite d3 + 1/2 str (0/0/-5)
*Woren Rogues gain proficiency with the Wakizashi and Shuriken.
**Woren disdain using their natural attacks, and fight with weapons whenever possible. To other Woren, using one's natural claw and bite attacks is often viewed as a sign of desperation or madness.
Woren are a humanoid race with feline features. Their bodies are covered in a light fur that is typically mottled or striped though occasionally a single color covers their entire body. They have retractable claws on their hands but rarely use them in combat. Woren society is oriental in style with woren highly valuing personal honor. Gunpowder and rockets are more prevalent among woren than the other races and they are culturally more advanced than them as well. As such, woren typically treat the 'lesser' races as inferior to themselves and most people dealing with them find them to be quite arrogant. Woren rarely leave their lands to live among the other 'barbaric' races but woren can sometimes be found as adventurers, most preferring to act as loners when in a group of non-woren.
Koban
+2 Dex +2 Wis -2 Int
Base Speed: 40
+2 Natural Armor Bonus
Low-Light Vision
+2 Survival, +2 Knowledge (Nature), +4 Jump
Primitive: Cannot begin with technology based abilities, such as firearm proficiency. Also gains a -2 penalty in many social situations, but a +2 bonus when dealing with other primitive cultures.
Natural Attacks: Claw d4 + str, Bite d6 + 1/2 str (0/-5)
Pounce: As a charge action, koban can make two claw attacks on a single enemy. If both attacks hit and the enemy is the same size category or smaller, the koban can initiate a trip attempt without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.
Koban are a reptilian humanoid race with features resembling deinonychus. They have a scaled hide and long, heavy tail as well as a toothy maw. Their feet end in a hooked claw which commonly serves them as a weapon. Koban society is tribal and quite primitive compared to the other races. They are more in tune with nature than the other races and prefer the comfort of the wilderness to the cramped conditions found in most cities. The other races often consider koban to be bestial and tend to avoid them, but in actuality they are anything but. Reserved and practical, the koban are usually polite and try their best to be inoffensive when in other people's lands. Koban adventurers are most commonly found when they are traveling to prove their worth to their tribe, or if they are on a quest of importance to their tribe.

Starting Age: Dracil are a long-lived race, they will start between 80 and 130 years old.
Languages: Common, Draconic.
Dracil are a draconic race of humanoid form. Their bodies are covered in hard scales, they have tails, wings, and a toothy maw. In addition, dracil are known to have the ability to spew forth a breath attack of elemental origins based on their color, akin to the true dragons that they resemble. Dracil color varies and somewhat impacts their standing in dracil society, though an outsider would have trouble telling how. Red dracil, the most often seen by other races, seem to have the highest social standing among their people, followed by blues, then blacks, greens, and finally whites. Dracil have no cities of their own and their villages lay high up in the Ascadian mountains where few non-dracil have ever visited. Though fearsome, dracil usually have a gentle approach when dealing with other races, like a shepherd tending to his flock. The exception to this is when dealing with giants of any kind; dracil do not like giants in general, but especially hate ogres and trolls. Most other races are wary around dracil because their strength and power are well known but there are rarely any instances of hostility. Dracil can live hundreds of years and more, continuing to grow up until they die. The oldest dracil ever viewed by one of the other races was approximately eight hundred years old and over sixteen feet tall, a truly fearsome combatant. Dracil adventurers are usually of the younger variety, most topping out at just over seven feet (Medium), and are most often encountered when trying to 'earn their name,' a practice in which a dracil will perform deeds to earn himself renown and increase their status in dracil society, literally being given a second name of their choice to follow their birth name. Once having earned their name, some dracil still seek to further improve either themselves or their renown, and it is rare that any group of adventurers would ever turn down such an ally in their ranks.
