Expanded Native Ethnicity Choices
« on: February 14, 2025, 02:23:22 AM »
Hello! There is a recent thread about adding Forfarian and Thaani support as Barovian/Hazlani ethnicities during character creation, and seeing a positive reception to the suggestion I thought that it would be a good time to likewise request that support be added for the Falkovnian ethnicity.

Though Falkovnia is not part of the PotM map, the country and its denizens are defined primarily by their relation to other nations (Dementlieu comes to mind first naturally) and I believe it would be fitting to represent this via OCR.|

So as to not detract from the original thread, which is focused on Barovia, I've decided to keep this thread separate and open the door for others to offer up any other ethnicities they would like to see supported.

Also as someone who plays a Richemulotoise noblewoman who gets called an outlander by the engine, I'd love Richemulot acknowledged.
Currently:
Nicole du Claire - Richemulotoise noble duelist

Also:
Emmanuelle Skyshard - Ezran escapee from Hazlan

Would Hazlan have some kind of OCR decrease for Nova Vaasans, or are they too insular so that it doesn't matter?

I honestly can't remember if Darkon gets support. I can't say it's the most popular choice, but I've seen a few Darkonians over time.

Invidian pretty please! They have political ties to Barovia, Falknovia and all involved in the Treaty of Four Towers. They're as much a local to the Core as Barovians.

I'd be in favor of adding in choices for Darkon, Falkovnia, Lamordia, Invidia, and a few others! More choices, the better! I don't like the 'other' option, feels too bland when you can choose to be from Vorostokov on the list.
