" Generic Quote about the race, or referencing the race. "

Introduction
Brief introduction, describe the basic concept of the race and give a short introduction to their abilities, special traits, etc. 1-2 paragraphs max.

Playing
Tips and essential information expanded. Try to keep this narrowed down to essential information. New players are mostly likely not going to read the full page on a race to begin with, so having this section makes their play, statistically, more likely to be a better and more compliant portrayal of the race.

Physical Traits
Physical traits, such as skin colors, hair colors, eye colors, height, weight, physique, facial structure, and other notable traits. This can also include a fashion section, with a brief description of their fashion inspirations.

Mental Traits
Mental traits, such as general personality traits, and mental blind spots. (Generic Fantasy Examples) IE Orcs being more aggressive, Elves viewing themselves as better than everyone else, Humans being sleazy, ETC. Ingrained fears and other such traits are also included here- IE if Halflings are afraid of Birds, ETC. Be sure to clearly indicate if a trait is optional, can be mitigated, or is a solid set in stone fact that can not vary character-to-character.

Try to keep this concise and to the point as much as possible, however you are allowed to embellish and give this section a bit of 'flavour' if you will, based on what culture and race it is.
