[Essay] Races of Rune-Midgard Part 1
Note: Prontera isn't in this essay (even though it really should be). Pictures will later be updated with more complete versions. Details on male/females to come laterrr. + more research too...THIS IS FAR FROM COMPLETE

The general features of each race.
Morroc
Morroccans tend to have very, very dark skinned (think African) as well as equally dark (almost black) and unruly hair. Eyes tend to be small with thick eyelashes (like a camel's!) to keep out the sand. The small eyes give them a slight squinted look, which only adds to the stigma against Morroccans in other cities because they NORMALLY look like they're up to no good even when they're not ;;
They used to be a very tall race, but when the city became consumed in anarchy, the taller people got killed first because they make bigger targets ;; Thus, Morroccans are now a very small, wiry race. Quite resilient to heat, as well as diseases, on account of needing to in order to survive (although Morroc is still rife with disease anyway). Also, skin is thicker.
Comodo
An offshoot of the Morroccans, Comodans are the Morroccans before Morroc fell, with some additional evolotion. They have lighter skin than Morroccans, a kind of tan olive colour, due to living in a cave and thus not needing to have such dark skin. Their hair has also lightened to a dark brown. Because beauty and aesthetics is a driving force in Comodo culture, favoured features eventually lead to more tame hair, though still keeping 'spirit' (straight hair is 'dead' hair) with the wavy ends. Their sense of hearing and touch had developed more strongly while Comodo was still under construction, due to being in a cave =\ Once Comodo was built, some of that was lost (though they are still naturally better than other races due to the focus on song and dance) and their eyes are larger than Morroccans.
Comodans retain the height of old Morroccans, males reaching over 2m (lol Tyler).
Payon
Yellow skin, almond shaped eyes, fine(r) eyebrows. Mm, I'd say "Korean", but I'm not sure what their general features are and I can't be bothered looking that up right now. Black hair (Bucky is blonde because he's 3/4 Pronteran m(_ _)m ), small mouths. Generally good eyesight and brown eyes.
Not all that tall, though taller than Morroccans.
Pale skin is valued?
Al de Baran
An offshoot of Pronteran, Al de Baranese (usually shorted to ADB haha...what ) are smaller more sleep deprived versions of Pronterans. Rounder faces with sharper chins, and paler since they live further north. Hair colours take on all the natural colours (except black and and the white of Yunoans and Geffenese).
They're of average height and build :>
Yuno
White hair (generally kept long), purple eyes, pale skin, slightly elongated face with a squarer chin than Geffenese. Don't ask how they have all these features where their environment would dictate contrary ;__;
Also very tall, nearing two metres for males, and in general are slightly more built than Geffenese, though occupation (of both races) can easily change that.
Geffen
Very similar to Yunoans, in general (occupation aside), Geffenese are slightly slimmer versions of Yunoans. They have white hair (though usually worn far shorter), purple eyes and similar height ranges as Yunoans.

Tylerrrr <3
I'm just partial to them because I love Payon and Comodo xD I'd say they're my favorite places to go in game.
