I found this while I was shuffling through some of my older files, it was something I cooked up for another RP, and I thought it might be something fun to add to the races for others to use. It was kind of my take on the "genie in a bottle".
Erinyes (Furies)
+||+---------Race Summary---------+||+
A race originating from a desert, they appear completely human. However, it is suspected they are actually the result of another, unknown race breeding with desert tribes. They normally have dark skin and black hair (eye color is highly variable), although other colorations have been known to pop up from time to time. Their build tends to fall under the category of fairly thin with very little body fat, but lean muscle instead.
+||+-----------Race Attributes--------------+||+
-All Furies have the ability to shift their entire body into sand, and then be able to piece it back together at a later time. They cannot control the grains of sand they become. They are still aware of their surroundings while sand, however this is a last-ditch effort to avoid capture or injury, as it takes considerable energy to piece themselves back together. In theory, one could gather all of the sand into a bag (or lamp) and capture the Fury. It is unknown if anyone has ever been able to use this technique effectively.
- They hold grudges like no other race, and have been to known to hound the one who offended them until an adequate apology is made, or either party is dead.
- The cold and wet does not agree with them, extended exposure to either can result in sickness and/or death. On the flip side, they appear to be heat resistant (but not fireproof), walking around with ease despite 110 ˚F+ temperatures.
-Very versatile when it comes to physical weapons and hand-to-hand combat, much like a human.
-Nomadic in nature, it is unusual to find an individual that has settled into a place for more than a year.
- While they can wield magic, it is completely unheard of for an Erinyes to be able to utilize water magic. Earth and Air are the most commonly reported, culturally however, fire is the most prized.
- Their life span runs slightly longer than a human, normally 120-150 years until they die of old age. However, this is highly unusual, as most die from wounds, disease (read, getting to wet or cold), before these ages can be reached. However, there have been legends passed down that a Fury can exist indefinitely as long as they remain as sand, almost like a “pause” button of sorts. In theory, a fury could turn themselves into sand, and make sure they are stored safely in a small container (like a lamp) and then wait until the end of time, or someone pours them out, and then continue their life.
What do you all think?

Alrightaroo, It hit me just how many wonderful mythological species are out there that I have yet to really seen utilized in this thread. Mostly, I'm assuming that people just don't really know about them. I didn't until my Human Geo class forced me to learn far more about religion than I've ever experienced before, and I'm loving it. Fascinating things, belief systems.
So I've decided to adapt a few lesser-known species for the general enjoyment of everyone.
The only thing I ask of all of you is to be completely honest with me when I post them up here for review. Tell me if they seem stupid, too cluttered, too overpowered, too underpowered, too similar to things we've already got, ect.
What I'm planning on doing for certain
Kelpies- and the subspecies Nokken (Fae)
Kumiho- A variant of the Kitsune (Demonic)
Pixies - Fae
Sprite - Fae
Will-o'-the-wisp Fae
Satyrs
Yuki Onna - Demon
Tengu - Demon
Jorōgumo - Demon
Dryads
If anyone know of other species that they want to see me do, just quote me here, or PM me if you're shy.

Alright, that's called a post format.
I might be able to help you. But first, are you using google chrome for your internet browser? And if so, do you have BetterGaia? |
