A New Way for some races a wish for draconic

[Sovereign Malus]

I think all races should be realistic to some extent.
Like half-orcs a breed between humans and orcs.
How would a full orc work in society would they have there own area because knowing us as humans would not except them most likely.
Treat them as monsters.
Just as lore has it to believe that most elves would not fit into a regular society due to them being usually more intelligent due to there longer life spans. Thus it would most likely be to hard to fit into a human society.
But not all elves are really considered intelligent. Due to some wild elf races. And would most likely be more wise then plain smart. For the fact of they as a race are more tribal then the traditional elves.
But when you think about it why would most elves want to be around the human race.
Because we Are quick with impulses, and are extreme curiosity’s lead us to some dangerous situations.
Or a Draconic race…creatures born from dragons. They would most likely be a more secluded race. Due to the lifespan they have. They would most likely fit in with elves more then they would humans.
Even though humans could learn to fit in with orcs and half-orcs due to them both having beastial rages.
Which come down to a primal instincts.
Dwarf’s….would most likely be able to corporate with most humans but due to dwarfs being dwarfs they also have anger issues. So they would only fit in with a more chaotic human population. Which does not make them necessarily evil.
I’m rambling but what I really due hope to see in this game is a. race of half orc mixed with draconic. And interesting mix to me.
And if mortal online does happen to bring a draconic race. I think it should be more human looking then other games have tried to pull off.
It’s just the grungy look of the game could bring such a powerful and amazing race alive.
So my vote is for a draconic race.

Its ManOrcDragon! Half man half orc half dragon! Err wait...hehe. I am against draconic races because they are almost always 4 legged and therefore no mounts or anything is available and then if they are bipedal then they look just like lizardmen. I would rather just replace them with lizardmen.

[Laihei]

It would be neat if it was a system similar to FFXI where you could "unlock" jobs by doing certain quests.

Basically you would have to do a quest for that particular race. Hell the mages of the race could mold you into that race and thats how you would change.

Sound nifty?

[OMGPIE]

Spiffy I still want everyone to have mounts to be faster how would draconics ride mounts?

[Sovereign Malus]

Yes, indeed that does sound interested. Changing by magic would be pretty crazy.
And when I was talking about draconic race mixed with orc or human I would describe it like this.
Fairly human features. 2 legs 2 arms 2 eyes. Sharp nose narrow eyes. Dark scaled skin with a long whipped sort of speared tail. Slightly pointed ears. Yellow eyes some what like a cat. The hair would be tough knotted almost. Mostly kind of Jamaican looking. Most likely sharp canine teeth longer nails on hands.
Athletic builds small or large. Some have wings not big ,smaller or none at all. Kill the fire breathing add dexterity. Strength and wisdom. Most likely fit for a fighter, druidic, ancient magic race that’s quick on the feet to a extent with an ability to use some minor spells. Such as minor healing. Charms, chants and some what fairly capable offensive elemental spells. Usually dealing fire dmg. Due to dragons usually connect with the word fire.
And obviously orc/draconic would be a very hostile race eager to fight.
And a human/draconic race would be more complex….leveling in terms of hostility and diplomacy and neutralism.
OR
Even elf/draconic longer life spans mostly peaceful to a extent but still have a dangerous side
And race color’s could be
Orc/draconic ranges from darker green light green.
Human/draconic paler colors of red or dark black or whit, slight greens etc.
Elf/ draconic tanned color’s blues and green’s etc.

Ya idk it still kinda sounds like it would look too much like a lizardman to me. I think if it got some wings somewhere to seperate them from your average lizardman race though.

[Sovereign Malus]

Yea, true flying ability’s at higher skill lvl’s that only a vet player could use would be interesting.
I’ll try to draw up some sketches and scan them into the good ol’ pc to show what I exactly mean.
The image in my head is just nutz though

[patamon]

JUST LET US BE FUNKY...LETS MAKE SOME FEARY RACE......
...woudnt be awesome if ther woud be a race of little winget "peoples" ok they had to be a little bigger so somebody coud pint them in the fight...but yust think...how a greath assasins they woud be.....
i am for feary race...no ane have them so just lets make them in mortal online
..is it a grat idea or wath..? XD

[SkirmCard]

ooo, Can I play as a Manbearpig?

[Sovereign Malus]

Wow... : )

[Ororon]

What about a mice race (narina wannabe xD)

Serious note: Dragon race sounds sweet!

[Sovereign Malus]

Oh yeah…I know.
Dragon’s dragon’s dragon’s
And yet have I seen a game make them actually look good. EQ2 yea…..eh’no if those are dragons.
So it would be nice if this game finally brought them in and lookin good.

[The Last Spartan]

How about a Man Bear Pig?

[Sovereign Malus]

Dunno, could be interesting

[Slyther]

I dono about the man/bear/pig, but the dragon race sounds awsome. If they did make a dragon race they should make it diferent then the usual iskar/argonian/lizardman

Some ideas, mabie make them have wings like Sovereign said but have the wings mid-size, and make it a skill to improve so they have to learn how to fly, barly gliding at first and mabie have a chance of falling, then when they get better they can only fly for so long because of how much stamina they have.

Make it so if the dragon/whatever is waring heavy armor they can only glide or have better chance of a miss-hap/fall. Also had a thought of a weight limmit(depending on skill) i.e. you have 10 flight skill so, u then can carry 20 extra pounds(2lb every 1 skill), when trying to fly with >10 lb free they glide, same idea goes for how fast they can move. an idea anyway.

Another thing, if they do use the idea its probly a good idea to make another race like a half-bird/half-anything. that way it seems more fair to others and so it's not the most popular race. then again theirs mabie other ways to fly. if they do that, even flying mounts might be in the game. might i say, darkfall has a wolf like race that can run as fast as other mounts in there game. just thought i would mention that.
My thoughts anyway.

[Sinneh]

LoL I would want a race with,
Half dragon, half human, half uhm insect, half dwarf, half giant, half fish, half stone.
Uh I'm 3 and a half of a being, I sure am awesome and not weird.

You aren't making icecreams or kebab sauce FFS not every DNA can be mixed like flavors can. Get real an orc and a human and dragon having sex at the same time... I mean how would it look like an orc and a human humping a dragon's egg or something.

I'm not totaly against dragon race... I see you like it... But Elves, Orcs, Humans, Dwarves can live together in society they just prefer their own company cause of differences. They are not as different, it depends how the story is set.

And how would a dragon race kill a Raid Boss Dragon... How would you like killing one of your own... or your ancestor.

ManBearPig is still awesome lol (SouthPark for those who tought its a real idea - it's a joke)

[Wonderboy2402]

Make a "Monster Overlord" class... And you can just pick from a table of monsters, spawn, and run around killing other players. =]

[Slyther]

lol, mabie it doesnt have to be an actual dragon, it could be a drake or dragonkin. It could be evolution even, still pretty weird though

[Traceur]

why dragons would evolve into a humanoid form? the survival of the disadvantaged?

i like the idea of extreme races, non-humanoids included, and with a respectable number of vulnerabilities given dragons could make a good race, though i can't say i'd be very interested in playing it.

I Detest that remark.
I’m sure you have read through the websites main page.
I’m sure you do know that MO has a religious drop to it?
“ Being able to make a cult or religion.”
This means that mortal online is most likely going to be affected by gods more then on one occasion most probably.
The whole Factor of the Genre ( fantasy ) Has been around sense the dawn of man.
Through word of mouth.
Half-Dragons Can come from many places.
Say in MO two great civilizations clashed. The god were angered through the blood spilled across the land.
Say the two civilizations were of dragons and humans.
And the gods created a race of half-dragon half-human. To end the war, the birth of a new people.
Anything is possible my friend. Thee imagination is a world of which is endless…

[ccoa]

You know, I actually perfer lizardmen... I was always a fan of Warhammers Lizardmen. savage and tribal I think it would be really cool.

Better than dragons for sure... But still not for me...

@Malus
Still Image a half dragon half human fighting his own ancestor a dragon as a raid... Just doesnt makes any sense killing your own side of the tree.

[Sovereign Malus]

@ Sinneh
Well Let’s Imagine it like this
In A Logical Way.
Humans in generally are more accepting to certain points then most races to an extent.
So who is to say the Half-Dragon race wasn’t eventually accepted into the human rank’s.
Due to many advantages in economic and warfare aspects.
And to kill the notion of half-dragons wouldn’t kill the ancestors. *** DRAGONS**
Most likely the probably could have had an alliance but due to the half-dragons going into alliance with humans.
Due to a more present ally being needed. A more powerful ally in-fact due to the numbers of the race. * POPULATION*
The dragon race took this as a insult declaring war.
Now the half-dragons are in a predicament.
They have to kill a enemy. Even if the dragon race is there father race. They would have to retaliate due to the diplomatic affairs with the human race.
And that still does not cancel out . That some half-dragons could still be loyal to there dragon father’s.
I think it would be interesting.
A Race in a power struggle. 2 Father races, a past of war and a want to survive. A struggle to become a super power through out the land. Fighting there own that are loyal to the enemy. To protect them selves from the eye’s of the humans.

[Slyther]

I agree it would be cool like another(half-orc idea)racial dispute.

I must admit the tribal lizard-men sound awsome, mabie even give them a slight hunch/crouch and really sweet voice. but i think im getting off topic.

[Shazna]

I can see me riding a Dragon or killing it , pleace no Animal caracters in the game

[Traceur]

talking about the half-orc dispute... don't we already have reptilian humanoids? i think it's silly having a race that's "slightly reptilian compared to humans" and another race that's "more reptilian compared to humans"...why not flash out the orcs reptilian aspects instead?

[Helstun]

Greetings

IF you really want a Dragon Race (Draconian) then perhaps instead of asking to play as a dragon knight or Trog Dor the Burninator, allow players to select Draconian Blood as an added ability to the character creation. Similar to Shadow Bane. Add in a major benefit, but add a major disadvantage. I only ask that it is not an obvious advantage, make it vague. Just so not everyone is from Draconic lineage. Make each choice a cost of another.

I quite like the idea of restricting everyone races at launch and unlocking exotic races for your Deva by investigating them, gathering enough lore on them and examining and talking to them in person. Then the next character you make is allowed to be of that race.

That would ensure that anyone placing an exotic race was aware of the lore behind the race.
