==Application only Subraces of EFU:R==
==Application only Subraces of EFU: City of Rings==


Application only races require you to send an [[applications|application]] to the DM team for approval, and are generally not suited to new players. Players who demonstrate knowledge of the nuances of role-play and the lore and setting of EFU:R are most likely to be approved for these rarer races.

====Tiefling====
====Tiefling====
Because they are descended from evil outsiders, those who know of their ancestry immediately consider most tieflings evil and untrustworthy. Not all tieflings are evil or untrustworthy, but enough are that the prejudice tends to cling. Some tieflings have a minor physical trait suggesting their heritage, such as pointed teeth, red eyes, small horns, the odour of brimstone, cloven feet, or just an unnatural aura of wrongness. Those descended from an infernal minion of a Faerûnian deity often carry a birthmark of the deity’s holy symbol or another trait related to that evil faith.

====Air Genasi====
====Air Genasi====
Air genasi are fast and free-willed. Because the traits that identify an air genasi are subtle, many go unrecognized for what they are for many years and are sometimes mistaken for sorcerers. Those who are overtly different quickly learn to disguise their nature from common folk, at least until they are able to protect themselves and strike out on their own.

Air genasi look human except for one or two distinguishing features related to their elemental ancestor, such as light blue skin, white hair, or flesh that is cool to the touch.

====Earth Genasi====
====Earth Genasi====
Earth genasi are patient, stubborn, and contemplative in their decision making. Marked at birth with obvious traits reflecting their heritage, earth genasi are often shunned by others, but their physical gifts make them able to defend themselves against most attackers. Earth genasi are obviously not human, but have mostly human features except for one or two distinguishing traits related to their elemental ancestors like earthlike skin, eyes like black pits or gems, very large hands or feet, iron gray hair, or metallic sheen to skin or hair.

====Fire Genasi====
====Fire Genasi====
Fire genasi are usually thought of as hot-blooded and quick to anger, and they have earned that reputation. Mercurial, proud, and often fearless, they are not content to sit and watch the world pass them by. Fire genasi have obvious physical traits that mark them as different from humans, and they are often the target of mistrust and persecution. Some fire genasi are able to use their quick wits to turn the tables on their tormentors, while others find that their barbed words only make their foes more angry. Many fire genasi are destroyed as infants by their own parents, who fear that they are demonspawn.

Fire genasi often have charcoal gray or deep red skin, red-hued hair, eyes that glow when the genasi is angry, or a constant smell of smoke about them.

Orogs are very similar in appearance to large mountain orcs, except for somewhat larger ears and huge, pale eyes adjusted to the luminosity of the Underdark. They average six and a half feet in height.

Over the years, orogs have become excellent at forging arms and armour from the many metals of the Underdark, equipment they will only rarely leave without

====Troglodyte====  
====Troglodyte====  
Troglodytes are revolting, warmongering lizards who savour the taste of their enemies, humanoids in particular. Their ferocity and innate cunning more than compensate for their low intelligence. Fiercely territorial, and thoroughly evil, they often lead bloody raids against humanoid settlements or ambush caravans that get too close to their hunting grounds. Sometimes, they even expand their hunting grounds just to excuse a raid.

Ogres are notoriously bad-tempered, tending to solve problems by smashing them, or fleeing or ignoring them if that fails. They are not difficult neither when it comes to homes nor food; they will settle almost anywhere and eat nearly anything that can be caught, stolen, or slain.

The following Subraces exist technically and have been already scripted, however you probably shouldn't bother with applying for them as it is incredibly unlikely it will be approved if not part of a particular plot that a DM is running at the moment:
