Post by: Noname on November 17, 2009, 11:05:45 PM: Take your pick! I've added 14 races to cover as many races as I can. If you want another one, just choose "other" and tell us.

Post by: Kor on November 18, 2009, 01:00:59 AM: Draconic races is the one I also choose.

Post by: Noname on November 18, 2009, 02:05:01 AM: Funny thing is, I can't make up my mind. :lol

You all thought it would be "Draconic races" didn't you? ;)

Just because I have such a race in an RP doesn't mean I necessarily like it the best.

Post by: Amaranthine on November 18, 2009, 02:32:32 AM: I'm not sure...I like a lot of them. :yes

I guess the Nature spirts/elementals/nymphs are one of my favorites. I believe in the "concept" of them, but not that they REALLY exist.

I also like elves, but not the Santa Claus like elves. Those I don't really care for. <_<
I like the Lord of the Rings elves, I thought they were pretty neat creatures. ^^

And I :wub vampires. Not the dreaded Twilight wannabe vampires, but the REAL vampires. :D And I like human-animal mixes. :)

Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on November 18, 2009, 02:57:43 AM: Human/animal hybrids. That includes stuff like mermaids and werewolves, right?
Title: Favorite fantasy Race
Post by: Noname on November 18, 2009, 03:00:12 AM: Yes. Anything that is human mixed with something not human...

Somehow, it doesn't surprise me that "dragons" and "human-animal" mixes would be popular on this site. ;)

I chose "other" as otherwise regular humans with fantastical powers are the most common form of fantasy characters. :D

Post by: Noname on November 20, 2009, 01:16:17 AM: Elves are a common choice. Very graceful, usually depicted as good with bows...

In that case, I like those the best.

Post by: Mirumoto_Kenjiro on March 17, 2010, 10:53:46 PM: I'm definitely stuck with Draconic, Angelic, & Other. I can't pick one over the others.

Post by: Ptyra on March 17, 2010, 11:08:05 PM: I love goblins. Starting with Prince Froglip from The Princess and the Goblin. And they're incredibly fun to play around with in fiction, since they have no "set" story behind the monster.

I even have my own goblin characters for a children's book I'd like to write. Interestingly, they're "good" goblins, which is an EXTREMELY hard task to pull off.
Title: Favorite fantasy Race
Post by: Noname on March 18, 2010, 12:53:05 AM: Cool! There's actually a webcomic out there with a bunch of "good" goblins. It is rather... violent, however. Not suitable children's material.

http://goblins.keenspot.com/ (http://goblins.keenspot.com/)

I actually have a whole race set up in my RP, although I imagine everyone knows of it by now. I've got a few short stories out for them, plus the ongoing plot of a 350 + page RP.

Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on March 18, 2010, 12:59:48 AM: Order of the Stick (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html) and Looking For Group (http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/latest) are two other fantasy-based comics where goblins play an important role. Redcloak, a goblin from OotS, is my favorite character.

Post by: Saft on March 22, 2010, 04:18:18 PM: I choose Nymphs and other spiritual creatures as they closely relate to mythology and appear in most cultural mythologies.

I was tempted on voting Gnome with an explanation but no one would get the joke. :p

Post by: Noname on March 24, 2010, 02:39:40 AM: How would being tired make them more likely to eat Jake? Maybe to take a nap with him, instead. :lol
