Half-Blood
Half-bloods are just that; a result in a mixture of races from various lineages that can be found on Myr. Some Half-bloods resemble many different species, and some may not even know what they are. For a time in Myr's long distant history, Half-bloods were looked down upon by their pure blooded peers, but such archaic ways of thinking have long since faded. Half-bloods can have many physical attributes shared by their pure-blooded cousins, such as horns, wings, tails, scales, or absolutely no distinguishing characteristic at all.
If your character is a half blood of two races on Myr, they can have any combination of traits of those two races. The combination of Races must be listed on your character's profile in the Appearance section.
Note: Half-Bloods are of the races found on Myr, and can be any combination of the playable races. If you do not know if your Character idea fits, please ask and Staff will help!

Characteristics that may befall creatures like mermaids, kelpies, selkies, etc. can be classified as Elementals.
