In my little project worldbuild, elves have 4 sexes (possibly six, a topic of intense scholarly debate).
Dwarves reproduce by carving a sculpture and imbuing it with a portion of their soul. It’s usually a collaborative effort, with most dwarves having three to five parents (though it’s not unheard of to have only one parent, and royalty often have hundreds). They generally mimic human sex characteristics, but it’s up to the sculptors and most dwarves don’t see it as crucial to their identity
I haven’t quite worked out orcs yet, but I’m leaning toward them living in eusocial tribes, largely inspired by naked mole rats
Orcs should reproduce asexually by releasing spores via their blood. So the more orcs fight (and the more orc blood is spilled) the more orcs will sprout from the ground.
Isn’t that basically how 40k Orcs do it?
Yeah, I should have given credit to Warhammer in my comment
That’s a really cool concept! But one of my design choices was to stick to D&D5e-compatible races in case I want to run a campaign in-world
So I needed in-world reasons why orcs and elves could hybridize with humans, but the other races couldn’t. For example, a human could participate in the creation of a dwarf, and it would contain part of their soul and be as much their child as its other parents’, but the result wouldn’t be a half-dwarf, it’d just be a dwarf =)
I enjoy all of this world building. Proceed.
what fucking world do dwarves have no ass
Right? It’s clearly stated in the lore about what they bring to the party.
i think the dwarves are so hairy you can’t tell. like longhair kittens and tribbles
It’s like Squirrel Girl. You think she has a massive badonkadonk. But it’s really just her tail stuffed into her pants.
That’s gotta be uncomfy as hecc. Any Squirrel Person worth their salt would probably have some furgonomics applied to their clothes to let that tail swing free.
You can tell if you knit your ass hair into a braid.
Question about dwarf ass hair beard braids (that is a clause I never thought I’d think). Does that come from on top of or between? Or heaven forbid both?
Definitely both
TheYoungerWhatelyDaughter’s world, I’d assume
part of what i love about orcbarbies’ artstyle and worldbuilding. she makes hella spicy stuff, but it’s consistent within her world, and each race (primarily orcs and goblins) has its own unique gender characteristics. also they’re all hot as fuck.
i wouldn’t really describe the characters as androgynous, but they do stand outside traditional gender norms.
No damn way dwarves aren’t cheeked up. They literally spend all day carrying heavy loads and mining. They’re just short and covered in gear so you aren’t blinded by their majesty
Deep Rock Galactic taught me that much. 😤
Except Konsi. She’s just fabulous.
Elf…no ass
Excuse you…
kobolds: a hole is a hole
cloaca
If you’re dwarf women don’t have beards you are doing it wrong
Dwarf women do have beards. They’re just… lower.
Do they mean anatomy?
No, they don’t
nope. androgyny. guess how angry people get when your nonbinary dude is a fat guy who is angry back with a beard and nonmasculine tits.
What?
