There are no humans in my setting although all of the species/ races look mostly human with a few notable differences. similarly all the animals are different from those in the real world though that is another matter entirely.
Rephaite:
The Rephaite have semi-metallic bronze skin that is slightly reflective. Their eyes come in dichromatic shades of blue and brown. Typically, Rephaite individuals have brown or black hair that complements their distinctive skin tone.
Once per day you can reflexively tense your skin to harden it like metal reducing damage from a physical attack by half, this is incredibly uncomfortable to do and leaves you feeling stiff like your skin is arthritic for a week.
Kapre:
Tall and limber, the Kapre are a race with jet black skin adorned with delicate pinkish-white stripes, reminiscent of a tiger's markings, and ridged blue cheeks like a mandrill. They have purple and white eyes with a cratered appearance reminiscent of the moon. Their long and pointed ears poke out from heads of stark white hair. Their forearms also spot strips of hair that follow their ulna bones. Kapre age half as fast as other peoples and can expect to live for two centuries provided nothing kills them first.
Your long life came with an equally long childhood, during which you learned a great deal more than the shorter lived people. begin with two additional skills and two additional skill slots for them (5 starter skills instead of 3).
Dvergr:
The Dvergr possess short and stocky frames, and pallid grub like skin. Their beady eyes are brown or orange. Their distinctive features include long earlobes and insinuative red hair that they typically grow long to insulate them in their frigid ancestral lands. Notably, they have teeth that grow perpetually, much like those of a beaver as well as internal teeth lining their wide throats. Their noses have flesh protuberances around the nostrils that are incredibly sensitive to vibrations.
You can tunnel through loose earth by eating it and expelling it out the other end with some force (this is liable to put a hole in pants without a bum flap). In addition if you press your face against a surface you can feel any nearby vibrations with your nose protuberances.
Bauk:
The Bauk have mottled bluish-grey skin and peach coloured bellies. Their distinctive tusks, reminiscent of a boar, continue to grow over their life time. their white irises stand out against their blood red sclera and are framed by equally fiery red hair. their nostrils are vertical slits that run halfway up either side of their nose.
Your people have iron stomachs, If you go scavenging you have 75% of finding something only a Bauk could eat in addition to any other food you find, this will feed you for a day.
Kaibyo:
The Kaibyo have the shortest stature of any peoples. They have peach skin. Their pointed ears and emerald green eyes are remarkably catlike, and are framed by wavy black hair. This hair extends to the backs of their padded hands and feet. They are also possessed of bifurcated tails, which sway in response to their mood.
Naga:
Scaly green skin characterizes the Naga. Their reptilian eyes are bright blue. They have Frilled membranous ears and jaws which can unhinge like those of a snake. Naga have Antlers like those of Chinese dragons protrude from heads of golden or platinum blonde hair, that harken back to their draconic heritage.
You have an exceptional lung capacity you can hold your breath for an half an hour while doing strenuous activities, 3 hours while in a meditative state.
Strigoi:
Strigoi have ash-grey skin except on their bellies where it is transparent giving full view of their internal anatomy. Their eyes are unblinking black orbs. Their osseous noses jut needle like from their faces, hard with bone instead of cartilage. They sport curly white hair, which they often style elaborately.
You can heal 1d4 health a day by drinking a litre of blood, it doesn't have to be people blood but it does need to be fresh.
Oni:
Oni possess brilliant red skin and yellow eyes with black sclera. their hair ranges from white to grey to black. Oni are possed of black horns, teeth and tusks like those of a warthog. While ideally not visible all of the bones in an Oni's body are stark black.
Your people are exceptional mountaineers, you can grip and climb near shear surfaces and never suffer from altitude sickness.
Cynocephali:
The cynocephali possess coffee coloured skin, black lips and eyelids. Their eyes are briliant gold. Their hair is black and covers their long and pointed ears reminiscent of a rabbit, and their long bushy tails. the tips of their ears and tails have a much lighter brown colouration. The cynocephali possess protractile jaws, capable of lurching outward to form a snout due to their upper mandible being a separate bone to the rest of their skull.
You have a sense of smell to rival a bloodhound, while this isn't always pleasant it is useful. Additionally when you protract your jaws into a snout you can make bite attacks that deal 1d4+strength mod damage.
