Semi-drifting 14/4/19

Okay, this post will be all about my plans for more races after this one below.

Interestingly, this day is the day where the Star Awards 2019 is currently being held. Those who are familiar with Mediacorp will know this awards ceremony is... well, for the ethnic majority. This has got nothing to do with racism but rather the way the TV channels work. Just don’t ask me whether a sexily dressed He Ying Ying is part of the culture I’m talking about. Anyway, could it have been worse? Well, Singapore doesn’t have a Montgomery bus boycott throughout 53+ years of independence. So yeah, I have to admit the ideal of a perfect government is forever an unattainable dream. It’s not as if reality is like the hidden ending of Realta Nua.

Note: It wasn’t my fault that someone switched on the TV because it’s my mother doing that.

Tamurians:
The reason why I started with my version of the Malay race instead of my own race is very simple. You see, there are two aspects to Aeravor’s status of an anti-heroic protagonist. Namely, the Relentless Ones and Tamurians. The former refers to his official ethnicity, the latter refers to his mother inspired by Shamhat in Epic of Gilgamesh. Well, sorta...

Now, the Tamurian skin colour is clearly that of a Malay. You can call it brown or you can call it dusky if you want to impress that pretty Malay girl in your workplace. But you get the idea.

Their facial features is definitely something I need to plan carefully. It’s very easy to tell me to use the actual Malay face as the template. However, my plan is to try doing something more homogeneous rather than something more interracial. This is not me being racist even though I belong to the racial majority in Singapore. Rather, it’s called an un-Singaporean brand of creativity where the main character is a POC instead of someone blessed with a fair complexion.

A convenient template would be the Jomon model. To be fair, the Jomons originally lived in Southeast Asia before moving up north to the most dangerous cluster of islands apart from Indonesia. While this doesn’t deny the fact that the Japanese as we now know them are like 20-30+% Jomon, it doesn’t take anything away from the fact the Jomons originally lived in Singapore before it’s called... well, Singapore. As for the Yayoi people moving in during the 300AD, not only did they end up forming the bulk of the Japanese DNA, they’re the same kind of people as the Chinese and Koreans. But please note that the Yayoi were never a part of the southern regions in China where global immigration came from.

Now back to the Jomons. It’s possible that I’ll go for a mix of the sharper Jomon features and the softer Malay type. The male Tamurian face would have sharper cheekbones, roundish oval face, large nose with proportionally smaller nostrils, medium to large sized mouth, and a squarish chin. The female Tamurian face would have shallow cheekbones, more delicate features than the men, and a sharper chin. As for the eyes, there’s an actual term called the Jomon look where it’s a case of deep-set eyes with a shape closer to a roundish rugby ball than an almond.

Size wise, I plan for them to have the average height range of 1.8 with the physique type ranging from endomorphic to mesomorphic. From the female perspective, this gives them a more voluptuous image than the elves. Just don’t ask me about any comparison with He Ying Ying. From the male perspective, this makes them look more macho than the Relentless Ones. Then again, it doesn’t matter to a pseudo-elven race with the power level of Fenrir. No matter what, however, they need to live out the image of a mountain dwelling human race no different from the Qiang and Di ethnicities in the modern day Sichuan-Chongqing region.

Yaguryeo:
Previously known as the Cinha, Yaguryeo sounds way better because it sounds way cooler. At the same time, I need to strike a balance between the so-called Big 3 of the Northeast Asian culture. Physique wise, the Koreans are taller/bulkier than the Japanese. This is where I get the idea of the Yaguryeo height ranging from 1.7 to 1.8. As for the physique, that’d be from ectomorphic to endomorphic.

Looks wise, they’re Japanese. Because the Japanese are second only to the Koreans when it comes to being homogeneous, it’s not that hard. At this point, allow me to point out the fact that homogeneous in this context refers to the majority. As much as some Japanese would like you to believe in, the nation has two indigenous races living there. The only reason why we never noticed them is because you don’t get to see Ryukyuans and the Ainu under the Foreign Talent Scheme.

As for the Chinese aspect, it’s called infrastructure.

Sudhlit:
This is the fantasy version of a South Asian. If you want to know what a real South Asian looks like, please understand that the foreign construction worker should not be your only source of information because that’d make you look like someone in ABC’s Dumb, Drunk, And Racist series. After all, Shrey Bhargava is no foreign construction worker.

This Tamil looking race (but that’s because Sudhlits and Tamils are two very different words) lives in the only desert region available. Like Arizona, it’s at the southern end of one big landmass worth two and a half continents since I don’t know whether to classify Tamuria as some sort of Australasia. Unlike Arizona, white people don’t live there.

Looks wise, I’m gunning for a mixture of southern Tamils and the northern Indians. Why I say northern Indians instead of names like Sikhs and Punjabs is because the northern Indians are very likely the result of West Asians migrating towards the east. That’s why there may be moments when we actually confused a Pakistani for an Afghan. Minus the Taliban connection, of course.

Male and female Sudhlits have deep-set eyes of the protruding type. This is not some kind of Spielberg ET movie but actual genetic science. Trust me when I say I’m no dumb, drunk, and racist Singaporean Chinese.

As for facial features, male Sudhlits have a sharper face of the oblong type. The nose is large and sharp with the nasal bridge higher than the Yaguryeo and Tamurians. Female Sudhlits have rounder and softer features with a rounder nose. However, they also have a high nasal bridge like the men.

Physique wise, they’re ectomorphic. When it comes to the height, there’s a large contrast between two genders. The male height goes from 1.8 onwards although they rarely hit the 1.9 mark. Women rarely reach the 1.7 mark with average height spanning between 1.5 to 1.6+.

P.S: I forgot to mention any height differences between the male and female gender for all races so far except for the Sudhlits. And that include the elves and Relentless Ones. Sadly, I’ve yet to get back my PC. Which means Apple+Safari.
