In this section you will find stereotypical information on the seven player races. Things like the type of leadership they are accustomed to, or originate from, where and how they live; geographically and demographically. You will learn about their typical likes and dislikes, variations within the races as well as how other races generally react to each other. There are also normal naming conventions and information on how the race generally exists currently in the lands of the world, Oceania.

This section is meant for general reference and is not meant to be followed; it is merely “the basics” for how the races normally behave. Your character comes from your imagination and it is up to you to determine if you are a typical or atypical member of your race!

Races which are denoted by having a [C] next to the race are capped. This is done to preserve the role-playing atmosphere and the fact some races are rarer than others. If you are approved for a capped race, regular attendance is required at The Coral Gate events. Regular is defined as at least ½ of the events per year. Failure to regularly attend will open a slot for another player to make a character of that race, and you will likely be changed to Human until a future slot open; exceptions are made for personal emergencies, military service, etc. The number of slots available will depend on the population of the game.

Those seeking a more challenging acting experience with set rules and guidelines, may wish to play a restricted race.  Any race description that has the symbol [R] next to it means that an actor must gain Producer approval to play a member of that race.  A player must demonstrate exemplary role-play and make-up skills to be considered for playing a restricted race.  Restricted races must be played by Actors with strong role-playing skills. They require clear character direction and depth of character history. Remember, the ability to play a restricted race is a privilege, not a right, and those who cannot stick to the rules for their race will be turned into Humans.  An actor who cannot consistently attend and play a restricted race (at least once every two events) will not be allowed to play one; exceptions are made for extreme personal emergencies, military service, etc.
