Human:

The most standard and common race spread across the world. Humans are short lived, extremely adaptable, and mark the baseline that all other races are measured against.

Humans can range in size from 4 ft. to 7 ft. With males usually being slightly taller and bulkier. Hair colors come in shades of black, brown, red, blonde, and white. Skin color can range from almost white to almost black with base colors of brown, red, peach, and grey. Common eye colors are black, brown, green, blue, and occasionally red.

Humans are omnivores and can survive for decades on sub-optimal diets. Cultures and traditions are all over the place. The most defining thing about humans is that there is no one thing that defines them. Like all other races except the Tel'ani, humans come from a different world where they were, like they are here, the dominant race.

Tel'ani:

The Tel'ani are native to this world and have spread to nearly every corner before the invasion of the other races. Generally slightly smaller and weaker, but more agile than humans, they match humans in creativity, cunning, intelligence, and guile.

Tel'ani can range in height from about 4 ft. to 6 ft. with little difference in average height between the sexes. All Tel'ani have black horns that protrude from the sides of their heads near the ear and grow upward. Some minor shape differences occur depending on ethnicity. All Tel'ani have a long, thin black tail that ends in a dull point and have slightly pointed ears. Hair ranges in shades of black, violet, brown, red, gold, and white. Skin colors range in shade from almost back to almost white with a base color of purple. Eye colors come in black, gold, and blood red, with green, blue, and white being extraordinarily rare.

While technically omnivores, Tel'ani require a high amount of protein to function optimally and can only survive about four months on grain alone. Females are only fertile for about 30 days every six months and suffer from a distracting biological need to breed during that time, though modern medicine has drastically mitigated this. Births tend to favor females at 60%. Twins are very rare, even more rare is a set of twins called a Binary. A Binary is essentially one person in two bodies. They have a telepathic connection unbound by distance and if one dies, the other usually goes insane or dies as well. Binarys usually choose names that can work as individuals and together, examples: MaryAnn, DomNick. Tel'ani are just as culturally diverse as humans, though their biological differences make for some drastically different traditions.

Half Elves:

Half elves are the product of either other half elves or a human and elf. Often abandoned by their elven parents, half elves fare very well in human society. Sometimes referred to as a master race, half elves have all the benefits of humans with slightly longer lifespans and many of the benefits of their elven heritage.

Dwarves:

They're in here somewhere. I don't really care enough to write a deep description.

Elves:

Same as dwarves. They compete with Tel'ani for some of their niches.

Tiefling:

Tieflings are the result of extra planar, usually demonic, bloodlines manifesting in an otherwise normal individual. Looks and other effects vary. A tiefling might simply have a pair of horns, or may be a grotesque facsimile of their parents.

Anorians:

Anorians aren't a race, but a collection of races with a unified background. It was the Anorians that broke the barriers separating the worlds and allowed the races to invade the Tel'ani world. Anorians consist of humans with asian features. For some reason Anorian humans do not breed well with non-Anorians. Kitsune, who can only breed with other kitsune. The Oni-Sen are a bit elf-like and have long gently curving white horns. Oni-kai fill the same niche as half elves with smaller horns. The lamia have human torsos and snake bodies. Akumajin, literally demon-people, are a subset of tieflings with common traits that have bread true to type, creating their own race. Most if not all Anorians believe they descended from the moon.
