Discussion for things that aren't in character for your current life.

Dotting

Okay. My short history: I'm a female who actually trained herself to weild a spear and shield from the age where she could pick one up. She is taller than normal, muscular, and beautiful. She also is cunning(has combat expertise feat) and skilled with her spear.

What should we call ourselves?

Dotting! Coastal jungle it is. I'll be a little on and off tomorrow (flying back home to the States, out of Europe) but until Tuesday I'll get a better description for Annurian. When I first planned him, I thought on something like a dark folk or drow... Maybe something fey. But I'll get his description closer to a human at this point.

... She is taller than normal, muscular, and beautiful. ...

Funny, so is Ayla.

So how tall are you?

I'm gonna say 6'3" as a good area.
Also she is on the late end of 17 in age

Anyways: for names of our people... We can just decide whenever, or have it change over time :)

Eye and Hair colors, hair style?

6ft 3in is a giant for stone age. The average height is probably about 5ft.

When I ask about height and weights earlier you said use use Human; average human female height from CRB is 5 foot 6 and have a foot delta give or take.

Eye and Hair colors, hair style?

Well.. Likely short haired so it not get in her eyes, as for eye color, ... Brown perhaps brown-green. Hair is a carrot red, possibly darker more blood-like.

As for my over average height, if it needs to be shorter I'll say 5'10".

Just updated my appearance, still working on a background story.

I am fine with your clan being super tall, just keep in mind the potential impacts of that.

The gender height dynamic could be different with this clan, where males and females are the same height.

Keeping the 6 foot 3 or 5 foot 10 height?

very rough map of what you know. Everything you see on the map is covered in jungle.

I made Dovar 5'8" because I wanted him to be shorter than most of the men in the clan but I didn't know that the women were going to be quite so tall. I can change the height if we are going to be a tall clan though I still want to be the shortest male if not the shortest member.

This could be a good gender height dynamic swap...

If we all tall, we may go large size... Or get a bonus to str.

To be honest, I don't really want that. I more did her height that way because she is physically as strong as males. Besides, most strong races are around 5'9" in height. I more wanted to emphasise her beauty and cunning. I'll lower height down to 5'10"

To be honest, her str is only 14, she more relies on her skill in combat rather than brute force.

I went with 5'5" to be era appropriate but don't care too much. If clan member stature varies little, maybe we can choose a maximum and minimum height with 8 inches in between: males upper 4, females lower 4?

currently building renders based on your descriptions

Or women upper 4 height. Might indeed be fun to see how things evolve :)

Yes I believe 5'5" is the appropriate height average... Making me taller than a normal man. But that is kind of the point. Otherwise our other women all average around 5'4". We do have about 20 members of our clan as adults (not counting us).

In case people missed this.

actually, gnoll, drow, and a few other races are already like that. Making the females dominant. Drow Females actually veiw males as "lesser" and treat them like dirt.

CRB Human average heights

Current Character models done:
Ayla 6'00"
Geno 5'10"
Dovar 5'8"

What are you using to render your character? It looks pretty good 0_0

Daz Studio, with Lots of Genesis 2 content.....

Also using the new Iray renderer

That looks so cool! I'm planning on going into a game design feild and this can help a ton!!!

Daz models can be used in games, but Requires a Game dev License pending content, and models need to be edited to reduce poly count.

More recommended for game development, but near same quality.
And same root company.

So you're rendering our characters? Great! By the way, Geno has darker skin, not African though. More... Native American, in the Mexico area. Like a myan or Aztec.

I'll see what I got for materials, but likely don't have something in that skin tone.

EDIT:
Checked, Nope, none in that tone in my library....

That doesn't matter then. Just for the game anyways

You said you rendered Dovar, but where do I go to check it out

getting the everyone's model made before I release the renders.

Anyways, we need to decide population. earlier (in recruitment) I said this...

I'd say the clan is roughly 15-20 adults(over the age of 16) and roughly half that number in children.

One or two "elders" who are around the age of 30, and perhaps a few infants.
The ratio of male to female should be a little more female members. Males would die more often during hunts or battle with other tribes. We should have a total of 50% commoners, 25% warriors 10% experts and the rest are character classes. so our "elder" could be an expert in either hunting or as a herbalist. Helps cure diseases with conventional herbs, or as a superstitious nut who believes the herbs are holy or magical (though they actually might be)

As for leadership, our elder or the strongest warrior should lead the tribe.

So is this the structure or should we alter it a bit?

That's what I meant, I think, I honestly don't know what I am talking about...

Disregard my previous question,I read your post wrong, Dovar's lack of intellect must be rubbing off on me.

Oh, I have a signal horn... But I'm not sure if such an early developing race would have horns... Perhaps a drum? No... I'll just keep the horn. It's like a rams horn...or a Buffalo.

The Structure would likely be different, given that most the submitted males all went shorter then average, and the females went taller then average.

And since size can be seen as a point of power among simple minds, females are ones in societal power here instead of males. Furthermore to keep a growing or stable Gene base, each adult should sire at least two offspring. And With females being bigger then the men, there could be a splitting of the same tasks. So both males and females hunt, prepare the food, raise the kids.

The societal power of females could also mean females are the one who pick their mates, though the men could be allowed to have a multiple mates.

The Clan head given the societal power of females would likely be the strongest female, and pending the social code could be allowed to have more then one mate and be expected to sire more then one offspring to keep a strong bloodline and increase chances the bloodline survives.

Given this data
The definition of Feminine Beauty would be; tall, strong, hardy, beautiful/social.
The definition of A Handsome Male would be; short, strong, hardy, coordinated(dex).

a horn is fine

Yeah that seems better... But my ratio of class types should still be accurate.

I believe we can have the occasional unique to add diversity... We should let players in recruitment know what's been decided on already...

By way of leadership, I believe we should have a title based society. A person is judged based on the deeds he/she has preformed.

So our leader would have many titles

Titles can include their first kill, any notable deeds, unique Traits, and their families title if needed. This is in kinship with old European barbarian titles. We can have special titles like dragonslayer or kingslayer

This will establish a more balanced clan. Making those who have less titles less respectable. And we can give each of our characters titles of their own deeds.

These can also develop into normal last names. Like how tommson and Smith just started off as "that man is Tom's son," or "that man is the Smith"

Ex: Geno leopard killer, blood-hair

Godfrey kinslayer, firebrand, bloody spear.(fictional character)

Wow, I think me and Geno are confirming the theory that females have societal power here.

As we are the ones building the groundwork of clan structure and other parts.

Titles I think are too advanced for this point, it should be partially achievement based, though more with comparisons against each other member.

How some African tribes do it is the man who has the most yams(crops) and wives is the man who is most respectable...

I believe it could be more of a status thing.
And yes, I just think others are too lazy and just want to let us do the work;P

Or they aren't as active as you are.

I think the height Ranges of the species would be either:

--Option 1 (most likely)
--Male: 5'0" ->6'0" Avg: 5'6"
Female: 5'3"-> 6'3" Avg: 5'9"

or

--Option 2 (could possible later)
--Male: 5'0" ->6'0" Avg: 5'6"
Female: 5'6"-> 6'6" Avg: 6'0"

Seems logical...

Okay, we need some recent history now... What has happened within the last 5-10 year? We need something. Possibly a disease or a ramp up in birth-rates.

Most likely is that a large predator killed some people and we took care of it... Either by killing or scarring away

It could also be that we lost our previous leader in a hunt. Our newest leader could be incompetent but strong enough to hold her position..?

I have a question for our male characters: how do you feel about having an affair with Geno? Or having a relationship anyways... It could be all, find our love even after thousands of years of reincarnation thing

I'd like to talk about available weapons. We're stone age. I think a restriction to simple weapons is appropriate, as well as taking in some considerations to the environment. In a jungle area bows are not nearly as useful as a spear, when we add in the coastal part, a spear is throwable, useable in close combat, and an excellent fishing tool.

Actually bows where only invented 6400 years ago. We've been around quite longer than that. Because of this, I choose to have a sling. It is good for hunting, has a larger range than a shortspear, and is a weapon of war(David rolled a natural 20 on a called headshot against Goliath with a sling!)
