This Page is meant to be an introduction to the playable races of Project: Gorgon.

Human

“

"Humans are notoriously prudish and petty, but they are extremely loyal to their friends and allies. They value honesty and hard work, and hate lazy people.

Everyone agrees that humans make excellent traders and negotiators."

— Character Creation

Humans were the first race added to the game, and are considered the baseline. Humans gain a Bonus effect based on socializing -- they gain an XP benefit from talking to other humans, and a penalty if they haven't in a significant time.

Humans can equip earrings as their unique jewelry slot.

Elf

“

"Elves are forest-loving, sex-addicted, and obsessively clean. They're never crude or offensive, but they do tend to add double entendres to everything they say. They live a long time and tend to master a lot of skills, but prefer to live a simple life when possible.

Everyone knows that it's nearly impossible to piss off an elf... they're just so friendly and patient! But if you DO get them angry somehow, they never forgive and they never relent."

— Character Creation

Elves gain a bonus effect based on their hygiene. Bathing (submerging themselves in clean water) will give them a temporary experience buff, while going too long without will give a penalty.

Elves can equip navel rings as their unique jewelry slot.

Rakshaka

“

"Rakshaka originally came from another world, where they were fierce and amoral warriors. But since becoming stranded on this world, new generations of Rakshaka have developed a sense of morals and righteousness. They are still learning to combine their warrior instincts and their newfound sense of fairness.

Everyone knows that Rakshaka are quick to anger, but most are also quick to forgive. They're also known for their complex sense of justice and their dry sense of humor."

— Character Creation

Rakshaka can equip tail rings as their unique jewelry slot.

Fae

“

"Fae come from the Fairy Realm, a place with very different natural laws. Fairies are gifted with immortality, but this gift can take a toll over the centuries, and many become whimsical and aloof as a coping mechanism."

— Character Creation

Mentioned during the Nature Cops interview, Fae have a racial bonus to frost magic and daggers.

Mentioned during the "Nature Cops who punch Kraken" interview, the Dwarves are expected Summer 2017.
