i think i understand your question and might be able to help.

When they are refered to as a subrace, its not because they are inferior or lower...its a different type of species. A bit like domestic cats are a subrace from the Tiger or the Lion...

does that help or make sense?

Benshira is a subrace like we categorize people from different regions as subraces. Not everyone is Caucasian or Asian or Native American. There are general identifying appearances and cultural aspects of those subraces that mark them as separate from other humans. It doesn't mean they're any less or any more human (just like in our modern world), but it does mark them as a people group (which is a better term than race anyway, in my opinion).

If you consider the Benshira culture, they consider themselves set apart anyway. They are their own separate people group and identify with other Benshira as opposed to humans from the Syliran region or Inarta from Wind Reach. They are distinct with their own appearance and their own rich history and culture. That is why they are a subrace.

For game purposes, you must identify who you are and where you're from on your CS. If you just put human, you could be from anywhere. It makes more sense to put Human, Benshira just like someone else would put Human, Svefra on their CS.

thank you for make a try

i maybe understand but thank you i will meditate on your answer and make a try to understand your meaning

i want my character to be of Benshira subrace (but still a Human) and i do not want to start in desert because my CS history will say he was taken away and raised by stepfather in Syliras (the city).

what do you think?
