    it's just one of those fantasy things like elves vs orcs. Who knows, there may be more Tulnar players than people may think depending on how they look and options available.

    With the nodes aesthetics being influenced by racial contributions during its development, who knows what these nodes could look like assuming Tulnar have an influence like the returning races to Verra.

    Its just for fun. I enjoy the anti-furry memes and its pretty apparent that Tulnar are going to be AoCs furry community.

    Haven't they said it's specifically not going to be furries?

    I'm hoping to make something like a Drow.

    Even if it isnt canon, it wont stop the furries lmao

    Honestly we know almost nothing about them. We don’t even know what they’ll look like. We have only seen silhouettes as concept art that we’ve been told don’t even represent them anymore. So everyone is just mocking whatever their own imagination conjures up.

    To be fair we somewhat know what a tulnar looks like.

    in the second "tales of the homecoming" video we kind of meet one.

    I don't want to pretend I know exactly, but both cases look quite clear to me when you think about it.
    There are at least 2 reasons why Steven mentioned furries. Firstly, He didn't want tulnar to be labeled as Furries because that would make negative impact on whole race.
    Secondly, such term would be too simplistic and inaccurate. It's like saying "werewolves are just furries"
    As a creator, Steven sees much more in it.

    I'm not sure If you can make drow. Because when it comes to look, they're elves with different skin color. Something resembling drow, perhaps.

    Imagine triangle with human, furry and lizardman in each corner. I suppose tulnar can be anything in between and that is safe assumption. Detailness is the real question.

    One thing I'd like to confirm is possibility of making hybrid between lizard and "furry". I have something badass in mind.

    Wait wait wait... Tulnar are from the Underworld. Shouldn't our racial aesthetic building be underground? How are you going to burn them up? Smoke us out, maybe, but what is it to burn in our warrens and dens?

    Plants and Mushrooms will burn. Don't worry about it.

    I also thought it said the three core races not human/fur/lizard. Leads me to believe I could choose elf frame as my base, then change skin tone and do minimal animal anything.
    Honestly I'm excited to play around with it and see what I can make...

    Granted if it's all terrible I won't mind a renkai tank or pyrai summoner. I just refuse to ever use a human.

    It should be considered a mild form of insanity to release a race that has more customization options than any other race and just assume your player base will be okay with it.

    That's why I thought everyone will go straight to tulnar in character creation.
  • daveywaveydaveywavey Member, Alpha Two
    As long as each race has a decent amount of customisation, I don't suppose it'll matter much. There's an in-game lore reason why the Tulnar need more options, and I'm ok with that.

    I mean, as much as I am on the kill all Tulnar train. I would be lying if I thought I was not going to at least look at them before making my main.

    Lamia tail would cause a hell of a lot of problems with armor design.

    Your base races are human elf dwarf and orcs, you chose a base race and then you'll have a bar of influence for mammalian, reptilian and humanoid like human with elvish influence or from one of the lower races what ever they are, I'm hopping for vampires XD
    You might play an orc/troll or a dwarf goblin it all depends on what are the minor races stayed in the underrealm
  • tautautautau Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    What do you get when you cross a dwarf with an orc?


    A Dork.

    I'm still amazed how all of the sudden this conversation comes back to life second time since november, and atract mostly "kill all Tulnar" group.

    They said "Tulnar do not equal furries". What just mean creators don't think it's the same. And even after that quote "but" appeared. So trust me, If I say there will be some kind of furries, there most likely will, even though I cannot prove it.

    I hope that "major race base" only applies to overall shape like size, mass ect. Personally I've never liked vampires but I wish well for all RPG aspirations. If vampires appear in AoC then not as a part of caracter creator. TESO made it possible via quests for both vampire and werewolf so maybe this way.

    I'm 100% sure when Steven was asked about it, he said no furry races, and since ppl these days consider races with any fur being furries, its more than likely that no furry races means no such features. Also, doubt cat races would even live underground.

    This race's whole concept relies heavily on animalistic features (fur, scales, muzzles, tails). Steven confirmed each of these things.

    "Tulnar do not equal furries, but there are definitely some bestial components that you can scale up when you're creating your Tulnar character, so you could max that setting I guess. Whether or not that would give you what you would think of as a furry, I guess it's going to be up to your interpretation of what a Furry is." – Steven Sharif.
    Also, :
    - "There are feline and bestial components"
    - "Mammalian Tulnar may have snout features, fur and inverted knees."
    - "Reptilian Tulnar may have more circular eyes and head shape, and scaly skin."
