OP of the previous post is correct, there's a lot of good Hyur lore in the setting because the writers care a lot about world building. Meanwhile here's my grumpy old lady doing this for too long hot take:

Anyone who defaults to "humans in fantasy/scifi are boring" doesn't know how to create actually compelling characters and stories. Full stop.

I love elves, catpeople, birdpeople, aliens, etc. much as the next SFF fan, but extra body parts alone do not a "cooler character" make.

The vast majority of our media history, made up of entirely human characters, stands against that assertion that "humans are boring" all by itself.

And 90% of the time writers/roleplayers with such opinions end up writing said elves/cats/birds/aliens/etc as just (unconvincingly, unrealistic) human anyway, maybe (often) with offensive stereotypes (bestial-tribal is a big one) thrown on and with disregard for the actual worldbuilding and lore of the setting and how it treats those fantasy/alien races.

Because again, if one immediately goes to "humans are boring" then I don't believe that person is actually paying attention to the story, nor what lore makes those other races actually unique and interesting besides "ears and tails!"

Dear Kane, 

Thank you for being the best friend someone could have. Thank you for the laughs and the conversation. Those sneaking kisses you give me. Thank you for being there when I was down. Thank you for loving me for who I am. Most of all. Thanks for being my best friend.

Imagine, Hyur or Roegadyn sized Lalafells. Same pudgyfluff bodies, pooossibly shrink the heads a tad. Squishy bodytypes that are taller than your hips!
