Hey folks! This post is the post regarding the lore of each of the 'races' currently in WHTPA ! If you'd like to read the first post I made about the lore, please check it out here!
Same as before, all lore will be under the cut!
So before going in depth about the 'races', I should explain why I'm putting quotes around the word!
For my lore, I'm really using 'race' in a way DnD or other TTRPGs may use it, where things like robots and other inorganics are considered as such.
There are distinct human races in the story, though they are completely different to the races of Earth, so while humans look like they do here, they will have different names, cultures and languages, due to the differences between Ezex and Earth !
That being said, lets get into it!!
Humans
Humans are one of the main eight races in the current lore of Ezex, and are as you expect, at least visually! There are cases of humans having traits from other 'races' (for a variety of reasons) but for the most part, they are as you imagine, with little differences to this Earth visually!
Necrobots
The Necrobots are essentially humans brought back to life by mechanical means, in a Frankenstein's Monster type of way. A family member or loved one can sign a form, giving the Hawkes Corporation permission to graft skin and hair the best they can to the robots and “rebuild” the loved ones, giving them “renewed life”. There are still a lot of flaws in the Necrobots. A lot of them come back with trouble processing thoughts or emotions, lost memories, or in some cases experiencing intense and untameable agony. There have been issues in the past, especially with the first Necrobot, or Proto Necrobot as he is sometimes referred.
Dolls
Dolls are entirely inorganic clockwork creatures, most commonly made of porcelain, but also made of brass, copper, gold, wood, glass, and plastic. They do not need to eat or sleep, and can not feel physical touch, though many of them engage in these activities for their own enjoyment. Dolls were originally designed and created by Lady Juliette Howlett (he/him), though are now more frequently made by Lady Howlett & Co Dollmakers, a company Lady Howlett runs, but is not directly in the product line of unless it is regarding new material for the Dolls.
Vampyres
Vampyres are a race of energy and emotion feeders. No one knows where they came from, but considering they are yet to cause many problems, no one really questions them or their motives.
Originally thought to be the vampires of Ezex myth (hence the name they have adopted), Vampyres feed not on blood, but on intense emotions or on the energy around them, most often steam energy. They are very similar to humans, though they can have nonhuman aspects, such as claws, pointed ears, and unnatural eye colors.
Lycanthrope
Lycanthrope are a race of animal like folk, often with more hair on their bodies, tails, pointed ears, padding on the feet and hands, claws, unnatural eyes, and fangs. Commonly canine in appearance, though coming in many different shapes, Lycanthrope originally hail from Ivorham and Meckburn, some of the colder parts of Ezex. Lycanthrope are known to be faster, have more sensitive senses of hearing and smell, and tend to hold heat more than most other races do. They speak a language called Lycan Tongue.
C.H.A.Ps and B.L.O.K.Es
C.H.A.Ps, or Collection and Helper Automaton Pals, are robots built by Cogsworth Robotics to help those who aren’t able to help themselves (disabled, the elderly, young children ect) and are built to do little tasks like getting food, delivering packages, getting clothes and things of that nature. B.L.O.K.Es are similar, but are more personal, around the house helpers, built to do more heavy duty tasks like Gardening, cleaning and house repairs. It is generally accepted that if a C.H.A.Ps or B.L.O.K.Es shows up to collect something for the person they are helping without funds that you hand off the goods anyway.
Not much is known about the Peacekeepers. Organic or inorganic, from Ezex or not, all that is known about the Peacekeepers is that they showed up in many of the major cities one day, dubbed themselves Peacekeepers, and starting protecting the people of Ezex.
