As of the moment, no. However, the options will be more open to modifications and additions once we get through character creation - you'll get to do them soon enough.

The Cost Of Knowing
Rainheart
hmm
Debts. You have plenty enough experience with such, specifically with your student loan, that led you to the decision of paying the price now, rather than later. After all, you do not need more things to worry about in the future, with all the things that had occurred so far - and will most likely occur in the future as well.
You took a deep breath. "I will pay the price now.", you firmly reply to Hyzeeldar.
Hyzeeldar's smirk grew, as its voice let out a chuckle that eventually grew out t o be a lunatic laughter - one befitting of those classic villains you know from stories.
"Amusing!", Hyzeeldar said. "Then let me now tell you what I seek from you."
You gulped. An ominous feeling emanated from Hyzeeldar's very voice alone, not factoring in its unnatural face. You were unable to move. Your breathing grew heavier, as sweat began to trickle down from your head. This wasn't awe. It was fear - genuine fear. You now realized that this being before you, is far beyond your comprehension, and that you have no other way to survive this encounter but to comply with its demands.
Still, you somewhat kept a good composure - a very commendable feat.
"You see, this world has grown rather stale for me.", it said. "Their seemingly endless war has been halted, and the ones they worship can't even put up a good show. I brought you here for one thing - entertainment."
"What?", you say, clearly confused as to what Hyzeeldar spoke of.
"You are not of this world. Foreign. Unnatural.", its smirk grew even more. "And if there is one thing I am certain of, people like you tend to attract some...interesting events."
"So you brought me here fo-"
Your words were cut short. You were unable to move. Unable to speak. Unable to feel. Unable to breath.
And yet, you remained alive. But you saw nothing. Heard nothing, except for Hyzeeldar's ominous words.
"I shall now extract..."
Your heart beat faster. You knew what this was going to be. But there was no way you were prepared for it.
"...the cost of your inquiry." Hyzeeldar's maniacal laughter faded away.
In the blink of an eye, your senses returned. You could breath once more. You could feel once more. See once more.
But something was different. Something was...odd.
And as if on queue, Hyzeeldar's signature laughter came back booming like an air horn. "Feeling strange, are we?", it said mockingly.
"W...", you mutter. "What have you done to me?!"
Hyzeeldar's smirk appeared before you. "Why don't you see for yourself...girl.", it said before fading away in mere seconds. And in its place, a mirror like wall appeared.
You gazed upon the reflection.
Time for the long-awaited character creation, everyone!
First, let's decide on the MC's name.
Next will be her age. Since it's already known that she has a job, and is familiar with student loans, it can be easily deduced that she is more or less on college level. The lowest acceptable age for her shall be nineteen (19) years. Although my recommendation is to have her be at past twenties.
And onward to the more juicy stuff - her race! In this setting there are established races, but your options will not be limited to them - you can create your own race, provided that they appear humanoid and are equal or higher levels of sentience than the average, IRL human. So, without further ado - the races.
Last but not least, the character's appearance. I will be sending a second set of voting options when the details above have been decided, but you are all free to prepare your own set of options for her looks. If you are unsure as to how certain races would look like, feel free to consult me.

[] Custom Race (Write-in) - Include a short description of their features and capabilities
What is a Human? A Human is the classic slate of all other races. Most of them were patterned by the gods, using the Humans as their base forms. In other terms, Humans are the plain mortals. They bear no modification, nor any innate features. During the old days, Humans could live up to five hundred (500) years, however, the Humans nowadays can only live up to a hundred and fifty (150) years at most. It is said that what makes them better than all is their very core - their unbreakable will, and their unfaltering hope.
[] Syrieth
What is a Syrieth? In their native language, the word Syrieth means "of nature". Originating from the Caskarieth (god-born), the Syrieth carry their forefathers' traits. They are able to age eternally, but unfortunately, they could still die from other means. They commonly reside in areas where nature thrives, such as forests and jungles, using those as part of their hidden villages and cities. They appear much like a human, but with long and pointy ears, and a bit taller height. They are attributed to nature, and to the creatures in it. They have a good understanding of magic, but they are not the best at it.
[] Illieth
What is an Illieth? The Illieth are the opposite of the Syrieth. In their native tongue, their name means "of tainted". They too, originated from the Caskarieth, but they were headed to a different path, a different way of life. Whilst the Syrieth live in forests, they reside in darker areas - caves, ruins, and even underground tunnels. They also live in hidden villages and cities, of course. They are much like the Syrieth, but have pale gray to pure black skin, and the color of their eyes are always of dark shades. They commonly have bodily accessories and markings, though most are simply for looking tough. They have a better understanding of magic compared to the Syrieth, but they prefer to avoid using magic at all.
[] Dwarf
What is a Dwarf? A Dwarf is a mortal half the size of a human. They usually have heavy amounts of facial hair, such as beards and goatees. They are mountain and underground dwellers, usually using some sort of highly complex mechanisms to traverse their strangely designed homes. Dwarves are able to age three to four times that of an average human. They have great skills in the arts of crafting and smiths, however, their attraction to treasure usually brings them to peril. It may not be of great use, but they have a very high tolerance of being drunk, thus they tend to use alcoholic drinks as if it was mere water.
[] Median
What is a Median? A Median is a human with beastly features, which ranges from simply ears and tails, up to their entire body looking much like a beast itself, based on the purity of their blood. Medians live in various tribes, ruled by different Chiefs. Unlike most races, Medians tend to have great differences between each one of them, but their unity is far greater than any other. A Median ages like a regular human. Due to their strange appearance, they gain various abilities, based on their beastly counterpart, such as being able to pounce like a leopard, roar like a lion, swim like a fish, or even fly like a bird. They value honor and honesty above all.
[] Dragonkin
What is a Dragonkin? The Dragonkin look exactly like a normal human, except for the permanent tattoos that they bear upon birth. These tattoos are a sign that they are a Dragonkin, and glow when they use their ability, which is feared by most. The Dragonkin are very peaceful, and most of them live together in a secluded area which is extremely difficult to reach, let alone locate. They are able to age eternally, but will still die to other means. The Dragonkin can transform from their human forms into a dragon should they will it, and vice-versa. In the middle of their transformation process, their tattoos will glow as an indication. In their dragon forms, these tattoos are retained. The size of their dragon forms ranges from thrice the average human up to as large as a guild hall. They are still inferior compared to real dragons. This ability is rarely used, due to the many risks it possess.
[] Sanguinus
What is a Sanguinus? A Sanguinus is a human with blood red eyes, and the ability to control their own blood for many things - both physically and magically. Their strange blood allows them to age twice as long as the average human. Although they may possess greater physique and magical prowess than regular humans, the Sanguini prefer to use non-combat means to attain their goals. Most Sanguini are found to be scholars and researchers, whilst others are low nobles. Sanguini tend to reside on a place swarming with people, where they could blend in without much trouble. Some of the uneducated assume that they are vampires, though they are far from such atrocities.
[] Etherborn
What is an Etherborn? An Etherborn is a strange humanoid mortal, who looks exactly like an average human. The only thing that separates them from the latter is their glowing gem-hearts. These hearts of theirs make their eyes glow in the same color, as well as allow them to literally see mana. The glow of their eyes are indicators of their well being, if the glow grows dimmer, they are getting close to the verge of death. Unlike humans, if their hearts are damaged, they are doomed to die, because their gem-hearts cannot regenerate like the human heart. They have the best understanding of magic, and even anti-magic, since they can see how and where mana flows. Their ability to see mana can be controlled through mastery, making the user able to turn it on and off whenever they like it.
[] Karsai - Untella
What is a Karsai - Untella? Untella, in their native tongue, means "protected". The Karsai, all in all, are humanoids that are far taller and muscular than the Caskarieth, their skin are tougher, and they have tusks on their jaws. The Karsai are considered to be the physically strongest race of all. The Karsai - Untella have green-colored skin, and their tusks are smaller than usual. They live in various tribes that are constantly waging war with the Karsai - Khantaruz. The Karsai - Untella believes that having greater strength means that they are to act as stewards, both of the world and the mortals that live in it. The common Karsai ages thrice than a regular human.
[] Karsai - Khantaruz
What is a Karsai - Khantaruz? Khantaruz, in the native Karsai tongue, is "overcome with force". The Karsai - Khantaruz have large tusks, and orange and brown colored skin. They are in conflict with the Untella for protecting everything, for they believe that the only way to survive in the world is to eliminate all competitors. They, too, live in tribes.

[X] Exosso: A human with bone white hair and skin, who possess the ability to generate bones freely from their bodies. Between their incredibly durable bones and increased healing ability, they can live at least twice as long as an ordinary human. Though their skin and muscles lack the durability of their skeleton, it is common for an Exosso to shape bone armor- Though it takes a lot of training to successfully create a comfortable unrestrictive suit. Exosso tend to be warrior-archers and smiths, given they can easily break off their own generated bone.

Alright, now that the details above have been settled, it's time for us to tackle the appearance of the quest's heroine - Aura. I will be posting a set of options later containing various images that I think would fit her character. But your choices doesn't stop there - all participants are free to post their own set of options.
You can all vote twice, provided that you do not vote on the same option twice. The voting period will last for 1-2 days.

Might change if someone has something more draconic. This one's pretty good despite that, though.
