I believe races should have 1 notable trait, such as night vision for feline races, increased jump for monkey races, strength for goat races or similar, slight locating abilities for canine races (assist’s in finding ores and such), extended underwater for reptilian races, or the option to select one of a list of available attributes for example
Feline – Night Vision, Higher Fall Distances, Increased Agility (speed)
Monkey – Higher Jump, Increased Agility, Higher Fall Distances
Canine – Detection Abilities, Increased Agility, Increased Strength
Reptile – Water Breathing, Increased Agility, Detection Abilities
etc
Only one of these can be selected, while all other attributes and skills increase over use, such as mining (which determines speed and yield), high mining could grant 1-3 block return instead of straight 1:1
I think this game should borrow in a way a couple features from other extremely successful games, such as runescapes skill system, not an exact duplicate obviously, but the devs twist on the system, or even similar to Life Is Feudal.

it would be interesting to see a jelly/liquid based humanoid form race, similar to the chaos emerald monster in sonic adventure
its featured skill would be ” absorption” enabling a + healing effect while in water, water based attack have little to no effect, also all physical attacks have little to no damage unless augmented or the creature/titan/oorts damage is higher than your defense.. other skills would include: water glide,water shield,water blast, typhoon rage,etc
that being said, the races main weakness is magical based attacks, lightning and earth attacks deal more damage and all augmented weapons deal +damage upon each hit. fire and wind attacks are dependent on if your attack damage is higher then the persons defense and resistance. ice based damage deals a temporary freezing effect, also based on weapons levels.
enviornmental damage also factors in, walking on ice would give a slow walking effect, can die quicker in lava, walking on plants would enable them to grow quicker with the cost of life.
only by equiping a certain type of armor would enable this race to negate the eviormental effects, and depending on augments you have on the armor, would reduce the damage from their weakness.
5 key advantages
1. eating poison plants give you . well a poison effect when hurt by monsters/titans
2. rain and deep water enables a brief invisibility effect, rain gives small healing
3.higher levels give you the ability to command some water and anphibious creatures
4.able to give healing water to other players at the cost of life
5.absorb other players life at a certain level? -

I think each size should have several different species, That way every 1 can play to their preferred type and look. But again they will have slight differences and environments they work best in. For example, an aquatic type creature can last longer under water and as they lvl up, they can increase that duration. aquatic types should also have 3 sizes and unique looks per size. The smaller one lasts the longest under and swims fastest but is slow on land and not very good for pvp. The mid size is fast under water and land with balanced pvp skills best for ranged combat or dagger quick kill melee style. While the bigger one has normal speed under water and land but is good for tanking and melee combat.
Another example, animal types can run faster and jump higher than most other races with excellent stealth and hunting capabilities. They are built with pve in mind and can attack several enemies at once with speed. The smaller one is good at ranged attacks and setting traps. They have high evasive skills so they can run from combat easily. The mid size can use mid ranged kunai to stun enemies and wields duel weapons, They have less def but the best hide skills. The biggest one can’t hide well but has a vary large amount of HP and def, They also use a large two handed sword that they like to spin around with. Animal types can have several looks such as wolf, cat, lion, bear, and bull.
I do think flying is a good idea but the best way I can think is gliding, Bird types can slowly glide from mountains and with an over head view they can drop bombs and such. Mid air combat would be interesting too. if hit, expect a hard landing lol. Other races need to rely on a device that let them glide but it will be heavier and descends faster. Imagine a gang of bird-men attacking an airship. Birds have the best range due to their eyesight so they work best for ranged combat. The smaller one has almost no fighting skills however it is very good at spying and magic. The mid range is very good for dive attacks while the larger one can last longest in the air and good at bombing. I don’t think calling a chicken a “chicken” is a good idea here lol.
Every race should have options to grow the way the player likes as they lvl. For example, even tho aquatic types have higher water speed, a bird type can increase their water speed and duration but at a lesser rate. As they lvl they are given points to use where u would like, however, if you use them to your races characteristics you get more increase per point. also cross races should be interesting, A penguin is a bird type but acts like an aquatic type. Each race has advantages in some environments however, they are not limited to those environments. Every 1 has similar start stats and can lvl as they like. For example, some job classes require more speed or strength. And because there are so many playing styles, you should make several and level them all so u can play in any situation. If you are unhappy with your character, you can buy a skill/stat reset scroll and redo it so u do not have to make a new 1 and start all over.
The job class you join can help level the differences. For example a ninja turtle (yes I know) Can be very fast compared to a mage turtle that relies on magic to travel. Race skills and job skills should be considered.
These are just some ideas

Maybe some sort of Construct race, like ancient magic robots that the Oortians left behind to defend and fell inactive until something found them.
Also I want to be able to add tattoos or designs in the fur/skin of the creature that I play as, maybe at creation or maybe there will be that as an option later on. And maybe these tattoos and designs are used for ancient magic or something?
