Mixer Humanoid
Interbreeding is not entirely uncommon amongst the population of Ashnoor.
It is not known when the "mixer" name became convention - however, it is widely accepted, mostly because that generally cuts out often complex familial and interspecies combinations and relationships.
Generally a dominant trait or look will hint at species, for example, pointed ears of the Erafin, facial features, tusks etc of Orcs or Goblin green tinge to the skin and so on through every mix of races there is.
It should be noted that of those with Erafin blood to date have lived what is considered normal old age (80 - 100) - it is thought that either the legends of their long lives are just that, legends, or, the trait of longevity has not been passed on.

Basic Information
Anatomy
Bipedal upright walking humanoids.
As with other intelligent humanoids, they have opposable thumbs, a solid skeletal structure and, unless sedentary, are generally sturdy and fit. Musculature varies from individual to individual.
Genetics and Reproduction
Amongst mixers their physical features may give some clue to their racial influences.
Whether that be the shape of ears, a different skin hue, combinations of scale, skin and/or fur or even specific facial features or dental features.
As with all other humanoid species, a male and female mate. The young gestate typically for around nine months (slight variations with some species mixes) in the mother's womb.
Growth Rate & Stages
Toddlers through to early infanthood are entirely dependent on a caring adult for their survival.
Young children through to adolescents, grow and fill out spending much of their time in peer aged groups learning variously (education can vary widely from region to region in Ashnoor, both in type and quality).
Adolescents, as with most other humanoid species is for around ten years, they can have growth spurts during this time and develop physically, mentally and emotionally into the adult they will become.
Whilst adopting many adult responsibilities from around sixteen years on, adult rites of passage are fairly consistently between early and mid-twenties widely across Ashnoor generally. With some exceptions.
Ecology and Habitats
Mixers inhabit every part of Ashnoor, including among the Erayax.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Generally, being so widely populace, as with other humanoids they have diverse diets that meet their needs in a variety of ways. Humanoids hunter gatherer origins have lead to the various species being able to thrive on a wide range of foods, and combinations of food.
Also, as with other humanoid species, they tend to adopt local habits and customs, particularly if they're origins are from the region.
Biological Cycle
Whilst not particularly influenced by seasonal changes physically, they age with time physically, various signs show this.
Hair fading or greying, skin loosening and wrinkling, in some cases skin tone changing and the very old can become stooped and unsteady as their bodies deteriorate.
Behaviour
As wide ranging as any other sentient species.
Additional Information
Facial characteristics
A wide range of facial features or characteristics exist amongst mixers.
Some racial features persist for many generation - for example, those of Erafin (Elf) decent almost always have the all too familiar pointed ears, they may be slight of build, yet wirey and, depending on the Erafin clan of origin a wide range of other potential features persisting. Whilst the Erafin no longer exist, their legacy lives on in some features. Their longjevity died out with them though. (It is unknown what exactly happened to the Erafin).
Other racial effects from a range of races, slightly green tints here and there, same too with purple, other races are fur covered and this persists in mixers, the leathery scales of Kobald and other "lizard" folk often persist. Human shaped faces can persist in some mixers for many generations.
NOTE: These are features that may persist despite no ongoing input regarding procreation of that family line from said species.
Also it should be noted this may be despite a wildly diverse array of racial mixtures.
Often these features are envied more so than shunned. They are widely considered attractive features.
Geographic Origin and Distribution
Mixers live and thrive everywhere in Ashnoor.
Average Intelligence
All humanoid races share a similar dispersal of intelligence.
Civilization and Culture
History
It is generally accepted that there have been mixed race offspring perhaps even since before the Knife Accord.
Origin/Ancestry
Mixed species humanoids have been thought to have come to be shortly after the different species encountered each other, despite later hostilities.
Lifespan
80 - 100 years naturally.
Average Height
1.75 - 1.95 metres.
Average Weight
50 - 100 kg
Average Physique
Given the many variations amongst humanoids generally, there is no average physique.
Suffice to say, that the individuals robustness will wholly depend upon the environment and society they're raised in.
Body Tint, Colouring and Marking
Diverse given the extremely diverse nature of the various humanoid races living on Ashnoor.
