Re: Racial Flavour (not that kind of flavor)
The thing is, that has been the official stance for a long, long time,* it was just never made abundantly clear like it should have been.
I feel bad for the players who have played the half-breed/more in the past, though, because the lack of access to this information has lead to the problem we have now of people who didn't know and now feel like their RP has been dumped on when it wasn't their fault that no one just made a help file explaining this for players who would have happily stuck with lore cannon if they'd had clear guidelines to follow.

Re: Racial Flavour (not that kind of flavor)
We can firmly state that half breeds do not exist, and children born of Ascended races (and mortal/common races) are entirely one of those base Heritage races of the parents via womb-choice.
That is to say: An Azudim (Human) and Yeleni (Rajamala) would have either Human or Rajamala offspring, fully one or the other, not a hybrid.
We'll work on making this type of information more accessible once @Razmael stops cringing.

Re: Short Questions
I'm all for personally deleting havens and never seeing them return. But alas! I understand how players might be too attached to them at this point. If you were to remove havens, not sure what'd be comparable to a free house. Maybe consider lowering prices for actual houses?

Re: Short Questions
That doesn't make sense the shell is literally invulnerable unless your actual body gets pulled back into it! It might as well just be an echo/shadow of yourself.

Yeah we already have enough Special Snowflake descriptions out there without people making their race more difficult to discern.

Re: Racial Flavour (not that kind of flavor)
It's one time only. And I totally agree @Satomi. It's not a matter of 'special snowflake' stuff. It's more down to the fact that for forever endgame basically gave you complete creative freedom to make your character resemble whatever you'd like, within some bounds of reason. You'll still need to catch things like height and coloration, I'm sure, to get an idea of what they look like. I just don't think that judging what a character looks like based on heritage alone is a great idea @Zaila. I'd honestly support the ability to nix it from descriptions if the player would like.

Re: Racial Flavour (not that kind of flavor)
Honestly, very few of my 19 endgame characters are immediately discernable as their original race.
I've got Kira, who is still obviously Tsol'aa, kinda, plus antlers and faerie wings. And a few who were originally human that are kind've magic-y human now. And a xoran who is still xorani-like. But mostly, there is very little correlation between heritage and the desc.
And there is absolutely no reason I should have to pay 80 coins per character to make it not show up in my desc. -.- I didn't -take- heritage for anyone that got endgame before it was a thing except for Kira, who again, it made sense for.
As far as moving the token around goes--I'd be okay if it could have a configable colour or something, to make it easily apparent at a glance? It still won't really help you get an idea of a character's appearance 9 times out of 10, but it wouldn't hurt the game to have the option to make that part stand out.
Though. Re: being a slow-reader, I'd totally be okay with an optional quick-desc field we could fill out.
Look Erzsebet Quickdesc
She is humanish.
She has green, tattooed dragon wings.
She has long black hair.
She has serpentine green-gold eyes.
She is pale as fuck.
She has lots of tattoos.
She is covered in excessively shiny baubles.

Re: Racial Flavour (not that kind of flavor)
Or you could just ... write a description such that it communicates the important things succinctly first and then expands into detail afterwards.
