Chaktawe race question

by **Matheus ys** on February 11th, 2014, 12:15 am

I haven't started anything yet. Just collecting information about Mizahar. I'm thinking about a Chaktawe character who is albino. That would make the character interesting since they are " people with dark hair, black eyes and copper skin.". I just wanted to know if that's possible or not. (Sorry i'm new to this)

Albino's usually have a lot more issues than just pale skin and hair. With it comes a lot of other genetic complications which makes it hard for them to survive, especially in Mizahar's harsh conditions. Also the Chaktawe live in the desert where rays from the sun are always really intense. I don't think that an albino would be able to last very long, or at the least very easily, under such harsh conditions.

You do not need some special trait or characteristic or 'condition' to make your character unique. In fact so many try to go this route that those people that are 'normal' by the racial standards are actually a lot more rare and unusual. We have a lot of people try to go the Albino route, but more often than not it is pointed out that it is much better to make your character unique because of who their are and what they want to accomplish rather than trying to make them special because of something very superficial. My advice is to make your character special, don't make a special character.

Sincerely,
Evalin

I was thinking to make it hard for the character and connect it with a background story. That would make my character special but since i learned a lot more people is trying it, i think i won't do it. Thanks for the reply and advice
