Well, here are some descriptions of the four original races. Jackals and dingos will come later, as I explained in the sticky thread. Enjoy, and excuse the poor writing style on the fox's narrative, I just couldn't think of how to put the words down in a correct manner...
Dog:
Dogs are a generally passive and docile race, getting along extraordinarily well with wolves and their kin. While there is a standing army of dogs in the land of the Doggior, dogs usually choose to become ambassadors and Spellcasters, talking or beguiling their way into situations and if the need be, using strength of arms and potent magic to get themselves out.
Physical Description:
Dogs are bipedal creatures. They have long snouts, extending approximately six inches out from their face, resulting in a mushroom shaped nose on the end. A dog’s pointed ears stick up usually, and folds over about halfway up the ear. Dogs wear darker colored hair longer than their short fur on their heads, usually going only shoulder length, although dog soldiers prefer their hair to be cut shorter. Short fur covers a dog’s entire body, aside from the ends of their legs, which result in and extended foot and a clawed paw. Dogs also sport tails, which always stay neatly groomed. A dog’s fur color varies from brown to black, to white, and tan. Dogs usually don slightly intricate shirts, trousers, and robes, and almost always wear chain-clasped capes over their outfits.
Wolf:
Naturally fiercer and more lively than dogs, wolves are prone to battle and wanderlust. Wolves usually form the forefront of any army, but make skillful hunters and bounty hunters. Their fierceness and hot-headedness prevents most wolves from becoming ambassadors or wizards, but some wolves do muster enough discipline to learn said arts.
Physical description:
Wolves are very similar to dogs. Where a dog would probably stand 5 feet tall, a wolf ‘s average height is 6 feet tall. A wolf’s ears do not fold over as a dog’s do, and their snouts are usually longer than a dog’s. A wolf’s fur can range anywhere from grays to whites, to tans, to cremes, to blacks in color, but a wolf’s hair is usually black or dark grey. Wolves usually wear simple shirts and trousers, combined with hooded cloaks.
Foxes:
With a reputation for serving the Dog Lord, foxes are usually in league with him. The foxes represented by this profile are those who have broken off from their oppressive warlords (secretive of course, as doing so puts a death warrant on one’s head) and have taken to wandering for other nations. Their sly and cunning mind makes them perfect thieves and mercenaries, able to assassinate enemy commanders for their hired nation.
Physical description:
Foxes are similar to dogs. A fox’s snout is generally pointed, but a little shorter than a dog’s. Fox ears are long and straight, although many foxes choose to slick their ears back so they do not get in the way of their thievery efforts. A fox’s tail is large and bushy, and combined with their shockingly red and orange fur, they can tantalize an enemy with their superior attractive appearance to steal what they want and make an escape. Foxes usually wear long black overcoats when on the streets and not in an army allied with Apupa, as it helps mask their bright orange fur, and makes them appear more tantalizing than they already are.
Coyotes:
Known for their prodigious archery skills and their infamous war chariots, the coyotes of the southern islands are usually brought into wandering parties as rangers, shooting down food or enemies before they can escape.
Physical description:
Coyotes are the shortest of all the Canid races, standing at about four feet tall on average. Coyotes also sport the longest snouts and ears when compared to the rest of the Canid races, their snout being exceptionally pointed. A coyote’s tail is bushy, although not quite as extreme as a fox’s. Coyotes usually have tan fur, with patches of white, crème and, black mixed into it. Coyotes usually wear their hair in ponytails and topknots to prevent their hair from getting into their eyes and hinder their archery. The dress of a coyote almost always consists of a knee-length robe tied together with a sash, usually concealing armor made from laminated wood. Warriors of the Coyote Islands (where from most coyotes hail) bear banners displaying their symbol and the symbol of the current King on their backs, giving them much vigor and honor in battle.
