When creating a character, players have the ability to choose from a list of races. ATLYSS has a total of 5 different races to choose from; while each race has its own unique starting skill, these skills can be learned by other races via Skill Scrolls later in progression, otherwise making races purely cosmetic.
Races
Imp
Forsaken demons who come from an aquatic realm tangled with hellish machinery. By their own will, the Imps were not able to think or act for themselves, following orders from the occult who often summoned them.
Imps are a demon-like race. They have a wide range of body features, able to create characters ranging from aquatic creatures, to even "human"-like.
Poon
An ancient but thriving race of dryads who are tactful and cunning. Poons have adapted beyond being prey from the Deep Forest, able to take on any foe that stands against them.
Poons are a lagomorphic race of forest creatures. Their body features range from those of rabbits to jackalopes, with several available antler options. They also have other mammal-like features, like felines and canines.
Kubold
Reptilian hermits who are naturally adept in the use of magic. The Kubold's homeland resides within a distant arid desert, sealed by arcane energies.
Kubolds are a race of reptilians based on kobolds. Their features can be used to create several unique reptile-based characters, ranging from dragon-like to crocodile.
The default female Kubold.
Byrdle
Elegant and dexterious travellers, and likely to be materialistic. Once matured, Byrdles are sworn to leave their flock from their kingdom to find their eternal destiny. [sic]
Byrdles are an avian race. While their features strictly limit them to species of bird, Byrdles have a wide range of beak, tail and "hair" shapes to choose from, allowing their creation options to be very unique from one another.
The default female Byrdle.
Chang
Compact, yet sturdy. Always eager for adventure beyond their scope. Changs come from a mysterious advanced civilization, but were often outcasts and seen as troublemakers.
Changs are a race of rodents. As such, their features are based on several species of rodent, allowing the creation of several rodent species, ranging from mice to opossums.
They are also the only race to run on all fours and have a unique emote command, performed by typing "/sit2" in chat.
The default female Chang.
Trivia
- The default female Poon is the same character featured in ATLYSS's game banner and has been featured in several pieces of promotional material, causing many to consider her as one of the game's mascots.
- Interestingly, in these promotional materials, her name appears as "Jane".
- The Chang race originates from a previous game created by KisSoft, titled CHANGkaBANG.
- The description for Changs is a reference to the same game.
