Choosing your Race
There are 5 different races to choose from. Galka, Hume, Elvaan, Tarutaru, and Mithra. Each race has different sets of characteristics that make them better than others. There are different faces and looks you can make your character have as well.

Galka
Galka's are a hulking race of powerful warriors. They are the 2nd strongest race in the game, but the most durable. They have amazingly high HP making them great "meat tanks" in parties. They are only male however, so there is not a female character choice in the galka race. Galka's starting in Bastok get a Bastokan Ring.
