The story so far...
Here, in the land of Wintreath, there exists a great danger. A demon of frost, wreaking havoc upon the land, turning everyone that run into ice sculptures, and those that don't into slaves. However, there is hope: a band of heroes, almost entirely untested, are willing to attempt a quest to destroy the demon. These heroes, lead by a powerful mage, are going to find and defeat the demon. But first, they must find him. This is the story of their uncomfortable ordeal finding the demon.

God modding will not be allowed under any circumstances. I will respond in kind.
Races:
Draconians:
Draconians are a combination of humans and dragons, larger than the average human, and with a longer lifespan. They are often accomplished in some form of magic, but most are warriors.
Elves:
Elves are the most powerful humanoid race, with lifespans of millennia, and command over many varied forms of magic.
Humans:
A human just like you. Humans and elves have been known to crossbreed.
Dragons:
The most powerful race, with the exception of demons, Dragons are magical to their bones, and are equipped with razor-sharp claws and teeth. They are often loners, except in mating season.
Orcs:
Barbaric creatures, orcs revel in battle. Some are more powerful than Draconians in battle, but most are bullies, running from anyone they cannot beat. Orcs are often lead by an evil leader, such as a demon.
Elemental constructs:
Elemental constructs, such as treants and golems, are rarely very bright, but are very powerful. It is nearly impossible to defeat one unless you are a powerful mage.
Classes:
Mage:
More common among races with great longevity, they can sometimes even destroy an entire army with a single spell.
Warrior Mage: A mage that has also been trained to fight in armor with cold steel. Their magic is extremely erratic in battle.
Assassin:
The rulers of the dark, they are known for skill with poisons, stealth, and agility. They rarely use any weapons besides throwing daggers and perhaps a handheld crossbow.
Warrior:
From a living tank to a lightly armored scout, warriors are a broad class. Often, a warrior only masters one form of combat before going to the battlefield.
Rogue:
Warriors without any ties besides money, they are quite untrustworthy. Do not turn your back on a rogue.
Bard:
Bards help keep up morale with music, jokes, and songs. They are not a liability in battle, as they are trained in self-defense with many different weapons.

Erebus Calanthir
Race: Half elf, half human.
Height: 6' 5"
Class: Warrior
Age: 23 years
Gender: Male
Bio: An outcast from birth, due to his half-breed status, he has decided to come on this quest to prove to all that he is no less noble or worthy of love or affection than any human or elf. He knows how to use a sword, but is self-taught, so is not yet on the level of a knight. His main skill is his survival instinct.
-
Name: Badon (He doesn’t really know, but he’s pretty sure it’s Badon)
Age: He doesn’t remember, though his mannerisms and voice would suggest somewhere in his mid to late twenties by human standards.
Race: Elf (Formerly)
Gender: Male
Height: Six feet
Class: Warrior
Skills: Master Swordsmanship, Shielding instincts (Badon’s natural inclination is to protect others before himself), Immunities to cold, disease and poisons, near immunity to fire. Ancient linguistics, (While unable to remember how, Badon can read and speak a number of long dead and forgotten languages)
Bio: Very recently resurrected, Badon remembers little to nothing about his past, in fact he’s not even sure Badon is his name it was simply the only word written on his gravestone. Buried in a suit of full plate armor, and with a sacred sword grasped in his hand, he may not remember who he was, but he certainly remembers how to use the possessions left to him. So far his new ‘life’ has been shocking and heavy on his now unseen heart, the only proof he has that he is in any way ‘alive’ are the two flames in his eye sockets that change color depending on his mood, with the most common one being blue. He is kind hearted and chivalrically honorable by nature, but he is also still confused and frustrated that he has so many questions about who he was and thus far no answers. Among the greatest mysteries is his sacred sword that for reasons still unknown he cannot let go of when drawn from the scabbard, his fingers refusing to uncurl from the grip even by force.

So I am assuming half-demons are a no-go race wise?
-
Weeeell, as long as you aren't part snow demon.
-
But that would be such a good plot point! A half snow demon recognising that his people get a bad rap and seeking to change it by killing the worst example of it.
-
That really would be interesting...I like it! I must agree with @laurenthus, it would be a very interesting plot point.
-
Well in that case, allow me to oblige for your interesting plot point.
Name: Mirithal (Mir)
Age: (Nit sure of what the lifespan of a half devil would be but whatever their version of 20 is)
Race: Half-Frost Devil
Gender: Male
Height: 5'6
Class: Rogue
Appearance: Wears largely concealing clothing, dark navy baggy clothes resembling a cross of Shaolin Monk clothes and Japanese shinobi robes. These cover all skin. His arms and legs have wooden bracers and greaves respectively. On his face he wears a featureless white mask, with two simple eye holes and holes at the top that slide over his horns, making them appear to be incorporated with the mask.
Skills: Martial Arts, Polearm fighting and rope dart combat, lockpicking, and free-running/parkour. Also due to his infernal heritage, he can see clearly in the dark.
Mirithal was the child of conquest, born to a slave mother who spent time serving the frost demons, the ones that came before this massive conquest. He did not get much of a chance getting to know her, as he was sent away upon being discovered. He was raised alongside them for some time, staying with the lower class citizens. His smaller size compared to them allowed him to work small jobs, which was further increased by his natural dexterity. He at one point though, not out of resentment towards his people, but out of boredom, snuck out of the Frost Demon society. He encountered a strange monastery, where those there trained him to refine his martial skill. For a time he lived among them, gaining a knack for their weapon which they called the moon spear. He then left them, and realized that the world had changed in the time that he was with the monks. Now a Frost Demon had come to bring conquest, and so his people became a crime to exist. Mir donned a mask without any features, and began to work as a mercenary, purely for coin until he realized there was a chance to bring down this foolish conqueror, and maybe bring some respect back to his people.
