the peoples of agharttha
not all people are common, though most people in Agharttha are. The common race are indistinguishable from surface humans, and make up a large portion of the Aghartthan population. Another large portion is made up by the anthromorphs, those who resemble animals. Finally, the other scattered peoples are grouped as 'magical beings,' due to their high propensity for innate magic relative to the other races.

common
The common race makes up a large populous of Agharttha, but do not necessarily have any more or less respect than any other peoples. They possess a variety of phenotypes, similar to the surface above, but due to travel there is a great spread of phenotypes, rather than collections of similar phenotypes within a realm as seen on surface countries.
Among the common race are those who entered Agharttha from the surface. They are indistinguishable from common peoples, and tend to blend in to avoid standing out. They are referred to as 'surface dwellers,' or 'surface walkers.' They are a relatively new group, as the tunnels to the surface were closed off for centuries, but since the opening of gates in the west, surface dwellers have been finding their way into the new land.
₊ ⊹ ₊
anthromorphs
A large and particularly diverse racial group are collectively known as anthromorphs. Similar to the common peoples, they look mostly human, save for key features that resemble animals. Generally, these traits are minimal; limited to their ears, limbs or the inclusion of a tail. Some groups are half-creatures, and only half of their form resembles that of a human.
The sheer diversity of anthromorphs make them difficult to categorize. They are grouped by the general species they resemble, similar to the surface scientific names. Often there are subgroups, that assign themselves their own identity, and it's uncommon for anthromorphs to feel a sense of familiarity with those within their group simply because of how great the differences often are within them.
Some of the largest anthromorph groups are below
⊹ Felids/Pantheras: possess feline characteristics
⊹ Canids: possess canine characteristics
⊹ Leporids: possess rabbit/hare characteristics
⊹ Aves: possess bird characteristics
⊹ Bovids: possess cow/sheep/antelope/goat characteristics
⊹ Rodentiae: possess rodent characteristics
⊹ Groups will be added where relevant

magical beings
Magical beings are scattered across the realms, notable for their high affinity for innate magic. Compared to most peoples, they tend to be solitary, rather than being drawn to communities. It is not uncommon to meet a magical being in the middle of nowhere just going about their day.
Some examples of magical beings include talking animals, sprites, werepeople, etc.

applying
The most common application for roleplay groups is to create a character, which becomes your application. As we seek to build a community, the application will be focused on the player. The questions will discuss your experience with roleplay, writing, characters, etc. and we will be accepting people that fit within the community we'd like to build. Accepted players will then be creating their character/s within the official server.
Which players will take on what slots will me decided primarily by the mods. We want to allow a lot of freedom for players to make choices and build a character they truly connect with, whilst staying true to the existing lore.
We understand this may not suit the style of many people, and for that we apologise! Our focus, above all else, is creating a fun, casual and friendly atmosphere. We want to tell a story with our friends!
