Template:SubraceTable

A generalised table for recording the physical and other characteristics of named subraces, dynasties, bloodlines, or other formally organised subgroups within a race.

Supports up to ten subrace rows. All column headers are relabelled via parameters, so the same template works for any combination of characteristics. The script and gloss fields are optional and may be omitted for races without non-Latin naming conventions.

Usage

{{SubraceTable
| caption        = Main header
 
| col1_header    = Subrace
| col2_header    = [Column 2 heading]
| col3_header    = [Column 3 heading]
| col4_header    = [Column 4 heading]
| col5_header    = [Column 5 heading]
| col6_header    = [Column 6 heading]
 
| 1              = [Subrace page name]
| 1_script       = [Native script form, optional]
| 1_gloss        = [Romanised gloss, optional]
| 1_col2         = [Value]
| 1_col3         = [Value]
| 1_col4         = [Value]
| 1_col5         = [Value]
| 1_col6         = [Value]

Example

See below for an example of the table in use. Please note it ONLY supports this exact number of rows until billy gives me parser functions to set up the #if statements lol:

Physical Characteristics of the Nine Dynasties

Dynasty Ceremonial Colour Skin Tone Common Iris Colours Horn Character Tail Tip Shape

Kutsushin 屈心 — yielding heart Velvety, deep crimson reminiscent of aged wine or arterial blood Pale gold to silver-grey; the most desaturated of the nine, often appearing ghostly in low light Spectral deep violet; luminescent pale silver with a metallic sheen Moderate length, upright with a slight inward curve; subdued relative to other dynasties A sharp-edged crescent spade, weighted for balance during fluid, ceremonial movement

Akagane 赤鉄 — red iron Heavy industrial iron-grey suffused with deep, oxidiszed red undertones Rich, warm gold with the burnished, reflective sheen of polished brass Intense amber-gold; the flickering, internal glow of burnt orange embers Broad-set and forward-angled; among the most prominent of the nine A dense, utilitarian tapered point, reinforced with external keratinous ridges

Shirokage 白影 — white shadow Shimmering, translucent silver like moonlight reflected on fresh frost Pale, cool-toned gold; the lightest of the nine after the Kutsushin, nearly alabaster Piercing, neon-vivid green; a crystalline and frost-bitten icy blue Long and narrow; fine-tapered at the tip Elegantly forked and slender, prone to twitching with high-frequency nervous energy

Mizuchi 蛟 — flood dragon Murky, deep sea green with undulating teal highlights that shift with movement Balanced mid-range gold, often appearing slightly olive or "brackish" in cool light Shifting sea blue; tidal teal; rare mutations yield a murky, pale green Most variable curvature of any dynasty; no typical form An aquatic, inward-curled hook designed for anchoring against swift currents

Tsurubami 橡 — oak gall Earthy, deep ochre pigmented with the grit and warmth of fertile loam Lustrous, heavily saturated warm gold like sunset over a ripe wheat field Thick, resinous warm amber; a dusty, matte ochre-gold Shorter and broader-set than average; low forward curve A formidable, heavy rounded club suited for land clearance and blunt defense

Kurogane 黒鉄 — black iron Dense, light-absorbing charcoal with a matte, soot-like finish Neutral, stoic mid-range gold with a stony, desaturated texture Cold steel grey; the ominous, dark depth of pressurised iron-blue The most broadly spaced of any dynasty; a wide lateral spread An ornate, studded ball tip, often reinforced with natural metallic mineral deposits

Haikō 灰光 — ash light Ghostly ash-white, resembling sun-bleached bone or spent hearth cinders Delicate light gold, possessing a porcelain-like cool undertone and soft finish Muted pale silver-grey; the gentle, hazy luminescence of a soft violet dawn Slender and closely set; among the most understated of the nine A delicate, multi-tiered fanned tip used primarily for expressive social signaling

Enryū 炎竜 — flame dragon Violent, radiant ember orange that appears to glow with internal heat Deep, richly saturated gold; the warmest-toned and most vibrant of the nine Blazing ember orange; a fierce, predatory and highly-reflective amber-red Swept back and flaring; the most dramatically angled horn form among the dynasties A complex structure of rattling, tapered layers that produce a dry hiss when agitated

Tōkon 刀魂 — blade-soul Abyssal dark blue-black, akin to a whetted blade’s edge seen in starlight Hardened mid-range gold with a metallic, slightly cool cast and high durability Inky deep indigo; a sharp, focused and intimidating violet-black The straightest and most vertically oriented of the nine; minimal lateral curve A razor-thin but widened tip, honed to a naturally sharp and lethal edge
