    I would like a certain degree of fwuffiness to my monstrous feline/canine person. So maybe a mix between a charr (GW) and a Pahmar-raht.

    @Solvryn get the convo going? it's been going on over the years with multiple threads lol

    neat pictures though from everyone :smile:

    Not in the depth we need.

    seems about the same depth to me lol

    I don’t think Tulnar players have actively explored the depth of real life cultures they’d actively like to see influence the race unless Gothic, Voodoo, Vedic, and some Japanese eras that don’t influence Ren Kai are the only ones they care about.

    In which case good. We can discuss arcane punk in high fantasy mmo settings and why it belongs to the Tulnar.

    oh my bad... Um lets see.............

    I imagine humanoid beings with bestial features and/or fantasy beings/beasts. Been stated many expect gothic architecture but it could be much more ancient-like. The races are from the "primal" versions of current "sub"-races.

    Mix in the polytheist religion with monotheist themes with the corruptions, could say we could expect to see Cherubim or Nephilim inspired being with how their corruption from the gods/realm plays a role in it or even NPC mobs with similar inspiration.

    The under realm is an RGB bioluminescent rave so add that into the mix as a possibility to architectural flair (or not). Either the environment plays a role in that design as well which could be something similar to gothic or divine with a corrupter inking.
    Hmm I’m gonna ponder this

    :smile:

    to me it seems somewhat logical considering the gods created, corruption befell, survival, hybrid forms..

    Its got the book of genesis all over it. (or something similar from many other religions/mythologies in real life)

    The Tulnar seem like they're a duality of the blessing and curses of greater powers at play.

    Would be befitting of the lore's progression in my opinion.

    I'm gonna have to read Genesis all over again, this is the level of depth I wanted to explore.

    Plenty of room for religion in Ashes, especially for the Tulnar

    That's a good head. Not too flat. It seems like an interesting mix of Feline and Dragon features. I like it.

    I feel like the other races lack that raw, simple beauty I'm after.
    They seem too sophisticated for what I'm looking for.
    I just wanna unleash a full-on beast mode with a rugged, raw-looking character and destroy my foes.

    I think I've got a solid idea. The Mongols? Took in many cultures and mixed MANY major and minor religions into their pagan culture, a proud and noble people, a strong Caste System with a Great Khan at the very top... Would love the idea of a horde sealed away eager to reclaim the once-lost surface led by the Khannate class at the very top. wqzvu22vwbij.png

    Personally, this is the least creative and worst design choice they could make for the Tulnar race. They're not just living in the dirt, they're living in a world below the surface filled with all sorts of mystical wonders. You would be literally throwing out the culture of the 4 original races, the Caste system, and replacing it with Skaven which sounds terrible. The Tulnar are not Skaven, to quote Steven " The Tulnar are a proud and noble people". These are the ancestors of the original four races who escaped to the underrealm...

    The 4 races AND the lesser-races; pro-Tulnar players seem to *love* to gloss over the fact that they will be in-bred as hell with a bunch of lesser-races from Verra that also scurried underground, to escape the apocalypse - thus the animal-faces and features.

    Also, don't MOST civilizations define themselves as cultured, proud, and noble?

    THIS is more how I imagine you guys:

    Oh, man - I can't wait to see this guy make a funny! Most of you in this thread seem to be thinking cleanliness and cotton. Maybe start thinking matted-hair and rendered-hide wool robes?

    I love the idea of using Mongols as inspiration. Seems very fitting.

    ....and since they're largely beast-people, they could BOTH be the people riding the war-wagons AND be the beasts pulling them!

    Way to make yourself an invalid with your lack of understanding of basic biology.

    It’ll be the same in game, you not figuring out basic game functions.

    More than likely though, you’re just a closet furry. Seem to can’t control yourself when it comes to Tulnar posts.

    Wrong, wrong, and...wrong? Plus...didn't ask. Maybe you should go read the Wiki again, you were unable to defeat my anti-skaven point and it was Steven who described them as proud and noble. Return here when you've corrected yourself young one... or don't. The choice is yours.

    Invalid usually refers to someone who is physically disabled - and basic biology IRL would indicate that species too far separated by their genetic families are incapable of inter-breeding. This is high-fantasy; If SS wants men and tigers to have interbred, I'm all for it. No one said anything about basic game functions.

    Also, are you ANTI-furry? Not that I am a furry - but would expect you to be more-tolerant of peoples' non-abomination sexual proclivities, in today's society; So long as it doesn't involve kids nor ****, let em' screw how they wanna!

    Wrong about what? And why - exactly - can't rat-people be proud and noble? Master Splinter was, wasn't he? The poor fellow was the victim of radioactive exposure, and yet he STILL became such a skilled martial-arts teacher that we has able to teach his martial arts to freakin' *TURTLES*! /Respect!

    @Mionikoi if they don't go with a unique and exclusive rigging model I imagine they'll have armour fit the same ways to some degree (minus horns, potentially feet/hooves/claws and what not).

    And tails, hopefully.

    I would love if Intrepid does tail wagging/twitching animations like ESO does for khajiit. Along with other emotes that are not all tied to facial features. Like ears peeling back like a cat's or bristling fur.

    Quite possibly on the table for them.
    I imagine tails would be an option for customisation with lots of potential for animations if/when they go down that path :smile:

    It'll probably be horns, ears or something of the sort head wise.
