Characters will begin at Level 1
The world will be based on a strong Light/Darkness Dichotomy. Races will be separated into Light, Dark, Twilight, and Special races. Light and Dark races will have trouble in each other's territory. For example, vision types will be equalized, so Dark races, e.g. will have reversed vision instead of darkvision, and have trouble seeing in bright light.
At the moment I've got the following sets of races, though they may change:
Light: Deva, Dragonborn, Eladrin, Githzerai, Gnoll, Gnome, Hamadryad, Hobgoblin, Kalashtar, Shardmind, Tiefling, Vryloka.
Dark: Goliath, Kobold, Drow, Githyanki, Bugbear, Sverfneblin, Wilden, Orc, Shade, Shardmind, Minotaur, Revenant.
Twilight: Pixie, Elf, Halfling/Hengeyokai, Half-Orc/Shifter, Shadar-kai, Satyr, Changeling.
Special: Dwarf, Genasi, Human, Mul, Thri-keen, Half-Elf, Warforged
Not availble: Bullywug, Goblin, Bladeling, Duergar, Kenku
Some members of twilight races are born with innate shapeshifting abilities. For mechanics purposes, Halfling and Hengeyokai are different, but in-game they are members of the same race. The same holds true of Half-Orcs and Shifters.

Divine: Any Class, Light and Dark races only. Avengers Light races only, Assassins now Divine, Dark races only.
Martial: Any class, Any race
Shadow: Vampire, Any race, but Dark races will, e.g. have necrotic and radiant behavior reversed.
Psionic: Any class. Limited races (Human, Thri-Keen, Mul, Half-elf, Kalashtar, Shade, Shadar-kai, Shardmind and Genasi with these as a base race.)
Primal: Berserker, Hunter, Scout, Seeker, Barbarian (Twilight races) or Warden (Dwarf) only.

Please post any questions about character creation. Also, I would appreciate somewhat detailed character backgrounds that I can work into the story.

Are Light and Dark races inately hostile toward each other? You mention that they will "have trouble in each other's territory" and give an example that is environmental. Since the war is said to have been unsustainable and the civilizations fell, I was wondering how individuals from Light and Dark relate with one another.

Since the war is said to have been unsustainable and the civilizations fell, I was wondering how individuals from Light and Dark relate with one another. They are opposed but not necessarily hostile. In principle, the power sources of their champions (divine character classes) are diametrically opposed. In practice, their inability to survive long exposure to each other's natural environment limits conflict. In places like High Haven, many individual members of these races have learned to live and work together. They might war over territory in which both types can survive, such as the underworld or parts of the Vespers, but this realm is already claimed by the dwarves, whose civilization never fell, or the twilight races, who have begun to build civilizations of their own.
