Evernyll is populated by people of races old and new.
Elves
Once a homogenous species, all Elves share a common ancestry. Beginning with the Eternyll, and branching off with exposure to various fonts of Power, races of Elven descent now cover a diverse array of appearances and cultures.
Humans
While all humans are the same human race, the fracturing of human culture has led to individual customs across Evernyll.
Dwarves
Halflings
Orcs

Omnimals
Virtually every type of animal is represented by the Omnimal race, with specific lineages and cultures.
When death first came to Evernyll, it was balanced by an explosion of life. The animals of Evernyll had once been as much a part of the world as the stones and plants, never knowing need or hunger, and existing in a static state of peace. But when the planet Awakened, and the once-homogenous Eternyll elves began to form new races, and the new race known as Humans began to rise, Evernyll would be forced to try and rebalance the natural world again. With this, the Omnimal races were elevated from the animals of the world.
Omnimals are an anthropomorphic race which takes on attributes from all animals of Evernyll. From reptiles, to canines, to birds, primates, and even dinosaurs, their physicality is as varied as all life itself. While extremely diverse in philosophies and cultures, one consistent belief tends to ground all Omnimals with one primary tenant: that Evernyll itself chose to raise them up, and thus the natural world is something which deserves their loyalty and protection in turn. Still, beliefs clash over what is the best way to live in the world, and no society is perfect while they are still contending with the brutality of a world where death, hunger, and power are now a factor in every life.
Appearance-wise, there is a spectrum of Omnimal traits that ranges from very near-human, to very animalistic. At the least, every Omnimal will display animal-like ears and a tail, or reptilian scales. Their coloring is dependent on the naturally-occurring colors of the animal from which they draw their traits. Omnimals also have some ability to shift their appearance at will, allowing for the freedom to switch between a snake tail or bipedal legs, the retraction of wings, and other convenient morphology so long as it is in line with their animal lineage.
Disclaimer: We originally wrote a lot of these animal people concepts, from the ground up, for another rp project. We have agreed to continue letting them use our lore, while the owners of said project have agreed to let us use it for our new project. We are grateful for the chill agreement.
