This is a text about the Vulpes race.

First part : General appearance and anatomy.
Notify that "Anatomy" isn't as developed as I was counting, so there's great luck that sometimes I change it :)

Reviews are welcome. Tell what you're thinking, I won't bite you if you tell me the truth :D


The vulpes

Nobles spirits and always ready to sacrifice and fight for their beliefs,
the Vulpes make excellent leaders, and also experimented explorers.
They made themselves the greatest empire that the world of Herrinem has ever known and
continues to expand their territory with the help of their huge army composed by every kind of specialist.
The Vulpes are also reputed for their differents magic temples, as diversified as powerful.


General appearance :

The Vulpes looks greatly to anthropomorphics foxes.
Their fur is principally ginger or grey, but sometimes it can happen that some young were
born with white or black fur.
Their size varies but in average is between 1,75 and 1,80 meters. The females are littlest
than the males by 10 to 15 centimeters.
Their hands and their feets are endowed with small claws but they're not hard and sharp
enough for cutting something, or nothing more that small objects.
The iris colors of their eyes, however, is highly variable. And this because of the magic
they are studying in their differents temples. See the rubric "Anatomy" for more details.


Anatomy :

The particularity the most amazing of Vulpes is the iris colors of their eyes.

The young Vulpes have the color brown-orange typically of ginger foxe, but at 16 years old,
they are forced to choose a temple and enter in.

According to the chosen temple, the iris will take the color of the magic used.
For exemple, if a Vulpes use healing magic in the temple dedicate to this school, the iris
of the eye will take light-green color, color that the spells effects make usually.

Some magics don't stop to the iris, and whole color the eye.
So, a Vulpes who study the undead banishment and purification spells would see his whole
eye take a white limpid color. Some magics have an effect more strange : small symbols may
appear in the iris or he can become multicolor.

This color allows the watcher to know in which temple was the Vulpes and then to know what
to expect from him. For example, an ancient student from the temple dedicated to sacred
magic will deliver often religious phrases which can divert while a student of death magic
is usually reluctant to talk to "an alive".

Nobody know why the magic uses have this effect on their eyes. Some people tried to solve
this mystery but they only could made assumptions in reason of the complexity and the
ignorance of the magic on the organism.


Then comes the fur. Like it was said in the "General Appearance" part, the Vulpes can have
sometimes multiple furs colors. The fur color of parent doesn't play on with the randomize
teint of new-borns : the parents can be ginger and only have babies with different colors.

However it's right that different colors appear more often than others.
Ginger furs represent about (there's not official statistic) 40% of the population and
would be followed closely by people with grey color, who're to 35%. More rarely, furs of
wheat and black color represent 20% together. Followed by those with white fur with a percentage
about 4,95%. These last are generally considerated like a happy sign, by both parents who
put it in world and also for those who are at their sides, and this for religious reasons
(see the Religion rubric for more details).

"And the 0,05 remaining ?" You'll ask me. It is furs of "Sarrinner", in reason of their
rarety (the Sarrinner is an extremely rare plant). The furs of Sarrinner can be of any
color, about the most visible to the most discreet. For recent example, in the region of
Battal's river, a young Vulpes was born with a turquoise fur.
One more time, nobody knows the reason of this phenom. Well as their fur are unique, the
Sarriners are respected like all others and are part of society.

Apart from these two particular points, the Vulpes have an average constitution (similar
to humans). The only difference with the humans is that their heart is to the right of their chest.

The young are losing their baby teeth step by step, to be replaced by sharpened fangs that
accompagny them for the rest of their life.
The claws must be regularly cut because if they were becoming too long, they would impede
in much quotidian things. The fighters let them grow a few inches taller for using them
like last hope weapon.
