Language: Olmeidenese/Llopekish. Very Hawaiian- like, though Olmeideniese has an Latin dialect. The language itself is mostly contextual. One word can mean a thousand different things and common. (Often referred to as “trash talk”, most don't speak common at all.).

Abilities/pros:
Hardly and or any that would make them more beneficial in the use of combat Aside from proficiency in basic weapons such as daggers and spears.

This race is a bit more agile than most humans. Only a small boost though.
They're tropical, they have a slightly better tolerance to heat.

Mano'i'i of Olmeid

Language: Olmeidenese/Llopekish. Common. Thier own variation of Llopekish.

Characteristics: Theres two leged humanoids look like a cross between a shark and a human. Or if humans evolved into sharks. Either way, this menaching cannibalistic and carnisorous race is not to be trifled with. The Mano'i'i are said to be descended from the ocean god Aguasi and claim to be the first race to settle Olmeid. They sport long shark like tailed, fins on their hands and toes, sometimes a shark like nose, fins on their heads, and backs and tend to be rather large and strong. They often build societies under the water, very, very few are able to live in fresh water for long. They have a lot of shark like characteristics and I leave this open for ultimate custimizability.

Abilities/pros:
Able to breath under water, their rough shark tooth like skin also make them hard to grapple. Their shark like tails and fins on their heads and back help make them very prolific swimmers. Their teeth also grow back a lot. They even have clawed fingers and toes to attack with if they do not have a weapon. Some varieties can even sense electro magnetic or even magical waves and pulses. They are able to smell and detect blood through smell from a great distance.

Cons:
Because they are an aquatic race, they live in the water but rarely come up on land. They are able to stay on land for a short time unless they are lucky enough to get a magical shark tooth necklace made for them that can help them stay above water for extended amounts of time.
They have poor eyesight above water.
They are not as gifted with magic as other Olmeidians, but a rare few do become like shamans, or witches.

Menehune

Appearance: Very short hairy humans They are essentially the dwarves of the island. Some sport marvelous beards while others may have hair all over their bodies.
Typical Build: Muscular
**Skin Color: Tan to dark
Eye color: Blues, greens, browns,
Hair color: dark browns and blacks. Very curly. Occasionally blonde but very curly.

Biology: Not much separates the humans from the Menehune except the Menehune are said to be blessed by Ema'monu'ella because of their care for the land and nature. Their skin though looks and feels like normal skin, it is said to be as hard as stone. Some may be born with skin that they can will into being as hard as stone. Most menehune prefer to sleep during the day and come out at night. They are fantastic builders and many of Olmeids greatest structures are attributed to these builders.

Abilities/Pros:
Some have the ability to harden their skin into stone as a defensive nature.
Good eyesight in the dark
Long lives

Cons:
Not very many are born, it seems like their reproduction is slower than the humans.
bad eyesight in bright light.

Mo'oala'i'i

Appearance: Literally they are walking geckos. They have thick and heavy tails, wide jaws, and elongated bodies. They lack sharp teeth to attack with but have decent claws. They also have typical gecko feet and hands to climb with.
Typical Build: Medium to heavy build. Males 5’5” – 6’5” females 5’10 – 6’10
Eye color: Pale to dark yellow with cat-like pupils.
Biology: Can only breed with other humanoid reptiles. They lay about 2-3 eggs. Individuals age quicker than humans. At about 15 years to be considered grown adults, but they breed very, very slowly. They are mostly nocturnal. Also they lack eyelids and cannot blink or close their eyes.
Age:They can live up to 80 years old.

The two most notable clans are the Kuoanoni (Koo-oh-ah-non-ee) and Hina Moii (Hee-nah Moh-ee-ee) Clan.

The Kuoanoni clan are well known to change the color of their skin. Usually to mimic their surroundings in forests. They are the only clan known to do this.

The Hina Moii clan is one consisting entirely of females. This “Amazon” like race are fierce fighters and have no need to breed with males. This is because they reproduce with parthenogenesis.

Abilities/Pros:
They only need to eat a large meal three times a week.
They can climb walls, rocks, glass, just about any vertical and horizontal surface.

Cons:
They are extremely weak to cold. When temperatures drop below 60 degree Fahrenheit, they get extremely sluggish and can fall into a “hibernation.” However since they are a tropical species, hibernating doesn’t work out too well for them. They are also prone to extreme heat and will have to cool themselves down when they get too hot.

Manualoka'i'i

Typical Build: Small. Males 4-5 feet, females 4’5”-5’5”. Females tend to be taller than males.
Skin Color: Under all those feathers? Pinkish.
Eye color: Black or dark brown are common. Yellows and greens are rare.
Hair color: No hair.
Biology: Can only breed with other humanoid avians. They produce a clutch of two to three eggs.
Age: They mature at twenty years old and can live up to 110.
Language: Olmeidenese

Characteristics:
Their bodies resemble that of a micro raptors but instead of a snout, there is a hooked shaped beak. These “avians” are covered in very bright colors. Although females tend to be dull greens, the males are much more colorful. (Bright reds, stark blacks, vibrant blues and yellows.) Both genders have crests that rise up and down according to mood. They have rather large eyes. They lack wings as well as the ability to fly, but they have long talons. Very family and friend oriented. They usually raise three to five children and tend to have large families. They are mostly peaceful and make great priests. To sum up their culture is to think of them as hippies without the free love. They are strictly monogamous. If they lose a mate, they mourn by pulling out their feathers. They are inquisitive and prone to getting themselves in trouble. Most live in small clans close to high cliffs or heavily forested areas.

Abilities/Pros:
Powerful Vocals: They can deafen others too close by or alert others miles away.
Powerful legs: They may be flightless but they are very good at leaping up places and defending themselves with strong kicks.

Cons:
They have hollow bones that are easy to break or crush.
They lack calcium and must consume cuttlefish bone to get calcium. (They cannot consume milk products.)
Weak immune system.
They are extremely lightweight and are more easily affected by medicine, majhilichite fumes, drugs, alcohol and prone to being tossed across the room. Being aerodynamic doesn’t help.
Weak to extreme cold.
