The last PC you played somehow became a god and now has to deal with the responsibility that comes with that station.
You have a bunch of souls waiting to be born that have gotten backed up due to the recent turmoil surrounding your sudden apotheosis.
You have to create some races to get those souls moving again. If you don't, bad things will happen because of REASONS.
You have an entire continent to shape for your new races.
RULES:
1. Using in-character considerations for your PC, you must create at 3 to 5 races using the Advanced Race Guide's Race Builder.
2. You have a pool of 50 RP to use in the creation of all of these races. For example, you can create four 10 RP races and one 20 RP race, or two 13 RP races and two 12 RP races.
3. If the Race Builder does not offer features you're looking for, feel free to use approximations and reskins when needed(such as for legless serpentine races or psionic races)
Ideally, format your entries as:
Deity name: formerly race/class:
Alignment:
Portfolio:(honesty, morning, trade, etc)
Domains:
Feel free to elaborate on your PC/deity's history, personality, and goals if you wish.
Then describe how you've shaped your continent for your races in general.
And then list your races, along with their abilities, traits, and RP costs.
And then go into as much detail as you want about what these races are, their cultures, how they interact with each other, and how they view you.
I am Divine, but I'll come back to this later. Even a god must from time to time.
Zeric Grayfist is a gnome monk gestalt, who in his mortal life was twice brainwashed, first by the cult of a demon lord, then by the cult of the God of Magic.
Alignment: Formerly LN, upon apotheosis, CN.
Portfolio: Riddles and Poison
Domains: Chaos, Trickery, Liberation, Magic.
Race: Vishkanya/Nagaji type, but related to Basilisks.
I'll have to leave a dot here and come back later. Hopefully the fact that the last character I played was of a homebrew race isn't an obstacle. Then again, we're already supposed to create some homebrew races just for this thread, so I guess I'm worrying over a trivial matter.

Change, I was playing with Amalgams from the advanced bestiary
Dorotus, The Leecher King
AL:CE
Portfolio: Assimilation, The strong over the weak
For what it's worth, that, as described, is actually much more LE (also, one of the races you list is Orc, and keep in mind that they were originally LE - you need only replace the demon progression with devil, and the Chaos Domain with Law).
Name: Acantha Nagelle, the Mistress of Chains
Race: Holstaur
Class: Cleric
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Portfolio: Causality, Enlightenment, Metal, Pain
Domains: Earth, Knowledge, Law, Liberation, Madness
Favored Weapon: Spiked Chain
Races:
Chakranti - Something of a cousin to the Samsarans with a similar cycle of death and reincarnation, these pale beings seem to mix the shape of a humanoid with the horns and hooves of a minotaur while also having the chain laden body of a kyton. They are stoic beings devoted to enlightenment through adversity (be it physical or mental), some staying to meditate upon their purpose in life while others venture to fight for a brighter future, bringing the burden of pain to those who stand in the way of their goals. They are kindred to the Mintheans, whom they often protect due to the race's pacifistic tendencies.
Minthean - Easily mistakable for a race of fey, these lithe humanoids have the tail of a deer, the horns of a caprid and the hooves of a horse. They often find themselves attracted to ideals of hope, freedom and kindness, making them good for any party while also leading them to the pursuit of music as well as other arts which can help them express these views in a variety of different ways. Many of them are opposed to violence, but some accept that the world they live in is anything but peaceful. Despite the clashing viewpoints, they get along well with the Chakranti, who appreciate the way a Minthean can lighten a given person's mood.
Suraline - An enigmatic race gifted with the ability to see into the future as well as the past, these grey humanoids bear various markings upon their bodies, their foreheads covered with what appear to be a line of piercing eyes while their arms and legs are marked with the shapes of dark metal chains. While some see no reason to go against what they see as their fate, others consider themselves the masters of their own destiny, relying upon the visions granted to them of both past and future events to decide upon their next actions in life. While most merely see a minute or two ahead of them, some sages can see events years before they can occur, though visions of the future grow hazier the further one's eyes try to wander. The cycle of reincarnation that the Chakranti venture through to their ultimate goal fascinates them, while the carefree attitude of the Mintheans is both admirable and enviable to them.
Name: Heinrick Gilantheril
Mortal identity: Half-elf fighter/barbarian
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Favored Weapon: Greatsword
Portfolio: Athleticism, freedom, honest battle, romance
Domains: Charm, Good, Liberation, Protection, Strength
Races:
Leonin - Humanoid lions, who basically live much like actual lions, without the incest and cannibalism. They disdain excessive civilization, but will fight to the death to protect anyone's right to live as they choose. Use the mechanics of Catfolk, but with a bonus to Strength instead of Dexterity.
Celekal - an homage to two of his greatest mortal friends, the Celekal are another nomadic people, almost their entire population living on great ships that rove across the sea. Merchants, explorers, and occasional pirates for a good cause, they resemble humans, but blue-skinned, and can breath water.
Gilan'dar Sha'lore.
Previously: Sorcerer/Oracle -> Mystic Theurge. Elven.
Homerules used to achieve character concept: Allowed Oracle to cast and calculate all oracle spells based upon Intelligence rather than charisma at the cost of a single revelation. This was combined with Sage bloodline sorcerer.
Alignment: LN
Brief description of character:
A socially phobic individual who keeps depression and self-esteem/worth issues at bay by immersing himself in new knowledge. He viewed magic as nothing more than a way of studying the universe around him and refused to learn or cast any battle-related spells besides control-based spells, abjuration, transmutation and divination. Later in his story he gained the ability to see the universe as Neo from Matrix would see the Matrix - a sequence of complicated programs and mathematical interactions. His mortal eyes could not handle such a sight and turned into charred coals, however Gilan'dar was born with a third eye upon his forhead as an arcane mutation coming from his family being very immersed in magic throughout the ages; this eye however could withstand the sight of the literal stuff of Creation. The character eventually grew into having god-like power which could neither be described as arcane or divine.
He would eventually overcome his social ineptness thanks to his party members and various extreme situations throughout his adventuring career. He started an organization dedicated to policing magic and keeping it from being used in wars and other such unseemly activities, instead propagating the notion that magic should be used as nothing more than a tool for earning. Many had rallied to his cause and the story still continues from this point on.
Domains: Magic, Knowledge, Law, Rune.
Portfolio: Reality/Time manipulation, Arcane/Divine hybrid magic (Called True Magic throughout the campaign he was in), True Sight, Knowledge.
Race:
Librarians - In the halls of Gilandar's cube shaped structure peacefully, if imposingly, floating in the skies, these magical constructs labour to enforce discipline and order upon those who choose to study the virtually inexhaustible variety of tomes and scrolls on all sorts of subjects, spread throughout the endless bookshelves occupying every room and facility of the city. Librarians also organize and return books to their rightful place. They consist of various metallic parts floating around shining cores to roughly resemble humanoid shape. For food, this race consumes various weak magical items to keep themselves powered. While they have emotions and various other mortal drives, their nature is such that they are completely in control of themselves and do not allow such things to interfere in their individual tasks.
