Characters of Multiple Ethnicities

Content Addition · Articles & templates · Created by Lyraine Alei

article

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

Right now, Characters can only be one Ethnicity.

Lyraine Alei is an American. And she is going to sound oh-so-terribly American with this request.

I want to have the option to assign multiple ethnicities to a character.

When among other Americans, Lyraine Alei is a West Coast American. Specifically, she is a Washingtonian. Or a Seattlite (from the city of Seattle). Lyraine is also from a cultural heritage of European Settlers, so she is a White American-Washingtonian-Seattlite.

Each layer is a tier that has different values, and while to the majority, I, Lyraine, am "primarily an American" there is the fact that I am also of child ethnicities as well.

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Right now, we can do the KEY VALUE system (see the BBCode guide of the World Anvil Codex) to simulate the Ethnicity section of the template, right now there is only the option to choose one Ethnicity.

What are other uses for this feature request?

As this is just one specific field of the Character template, I don't think there are other uses, but would love for commenters to describe how they'd use this.

The Team's Response

Yes, it has been discussed here and on Discord. Some very good points were made. Outcome: A new field called Secondary Ethnicities/Cutlures will be added allowing for futher more ethnicities to a character

Location specific groups are Nationalities...Ethnicity is a cultural group. But yeah! I agree. In several of my worlds I have people who aren't even of those worlds originally.

This would also help with characters that have 'moved' from one area to another. The person might acquire the ethnic traits of the area they now live in while retaining the traits of their previous area.

Thank you. I requested this feature in March and I was told they were working on it but have heard nothing back since! When the coin feature appeared, I wanted to make this request myself but deleted it because after discussing my views on the Discord and not receiving any support, I felt that the community felt much differently and was very disheartened. Thank you so much for highlighting this issue. As someone of two ethnicities myself, I also agree and feel it's silly that I can't be a character!

I think this is important for people with mixed or complicated ethnicities where one would not adequately cover everything.

Because this voting system is flawed, it seems like if we want anything to get worked on we all just need to vote in sync. Our votes dissipear if people don't vote fast enough? It's not like we don't dislike the idea any less. I feel one vote = a permanent like on a feature.

As a mixed-race person with a complex ethnic background, this is a very important suggestion I think. Ethnicity is tied to but distinct from race and nationality. For me it has ended up in complex swirls due to differing identities and I would like to write characters who share those experiences. This is difficult when my main writing tool can't mechanically indicate that they exist.

I actually like this. Especially i like to use ethnicites different than most people. I like to use them to help differentiate different clans in a race. Dwarven clans are an example. I if my dwarf is from the Ironfist clan it will have the Ironfist ethnicity. However ironfists also live in Romation so they are also Romation Dwarves.

This would help me, too. I use ethnicity for the D&D/Pathfinder “heritage” concept. But some heritages are based on how/where you were raised, and some are based on some trait that makes you special. For the latter, though, they were still raised somewhere/somehow!

Also for those with multiple ethnicities and cultures, this would be fabulous. I have a character that is half human witch and half elf. Also in the case of real life stories, I am Native American but of several nations (Lakota, Blackfeet and Choktaw), plus roots in several African and European countries. Being able to have multiple ethnicities would allow me to add depth to my characters when I want to show how they perhaps enjoy food and clothing styles from one region but practice customs (religion, festivities, etc) from another.

Maybe also make it possible to just write text into the input box - for all the worlds based (somewhat) in reality - I don't wanna create a whole "indian", "malaysian" etc Article just to describe my characters cultural/ethnical origin or heritage.

I've got a conglomeration of ethnicities myself, and I don't think I have ever designed a character even for short-appearance purposes who would fit completely into only one ethnicity. I think ethnicity should continue to be a dropdown, but allow multiple selections in the same way that I can choose multiple Organizations involved in a Plot article.

Specific usecase: in my universe, elves split along ethnic lines ages ago. They are all elves by species, but ethnic heritage has a big effect on how they are raised and treated, as well as on economic class, and intermarriage is discouraged. I have a character who is of two elven ethnicities, with all the baggage such a situation might entail. I would like to represent that in his character article, and have considered asking for this myself for this reason.

I wonder if this notion of nested "ethnicities" can be abstracted to "heritage/kin" relations.

In the real world, I am a child of two ethnicities. One of which is the Seminole Native American tribe, the other Scottish. Yet, I cannot represent a character like myself in World Anvil, allowing me to write how that character could and would express themselves. How the traditions of one ethnicity would blend with the other and where they would not necessarily mix.

Yes, this definitely makes sense. Ethnicities and the clash between them play an important role in my world, so these subtler nuances would be quite useful.

We already have a system for allegiance with a primary organisation and then secondary organisations. I believe this would be similar, where you have a primary ethnicity and then "the rest" in a second field. I like this suggestion, because it adds a lot of depth to characters without really increasing the complexity of the user interface in any significant way. Just an extra field for the secondary ethnicities.

This is a great suggestion and one I was thinking of adding myself! I think it adds realism as many people in the real world have parents from different ethnicities, and fictional worlds are often the same. For example, one of my main characters is the daughter of a conquering emperor, and his wife who he married to secure his hold over the southern part of the continent. Her upbringing was marked by the tension between her father's empire and her mother's people, and it's a big part of who she is, and why she makes the choices she does in the narrative. Another example would be an important historical figure who was the daughter of a matriarch from tribes indigenous to the region and a druid from a people migrating into the region. Over centuries the intermarriage of the two peoples has become it's own new ethnicity, Vannadren, but she all that time ago was both Vani and Adren. I have heard friends in real life talk about how it's impossible to choose between heritages, especially if it's within the last generation or so, and I think that's definitely worth exploring in fantasy. Even for myself, growing up my best friend and I were both Canadian, but her family heritage was quite different from mine, meaning we had different family traditions and expectations, and I'd love to be able to easily add that level of nuance to my fictional setting.
