Alright then. Since you seemed quite eager to learn a little bit more about these new additions, I’m more than glad to share a little bit more with you. Don’t worry it won’t be spoilery, but still I would like to give you a more detailed Insight into the new Race.
New Soulmancer Classes
Lancer
Soul Weapon: Gáe Bolg (Spear)
Archer
Soul Weapon: Tauropolos (Bow)
Blademaster
Soul Weapon: Muramasa (Katana)
Medic
Soul Weapon: Asclepius (Rotary Pistol)
But now to the new non-human Race. However, before I start its important to note, that I took a little bit inspiration from the game League of Legends and one of their champions while working on this new race. I hope its ok for you. But now back to the actual race.
Lhoran
Intel: The Lhoran are a old and almost extinguished chimeric race, which originates from the ancient Waipoua Forests in New Zealand. As a chimeric race, the Lhoran possess the characteristic features of two different animals. In their case they possess the features of a bird and the features of a fox.
Distinguish Features: Lhoran have bird-like legs, which start from their knees down, and sharp talons instead of normal feet. They also have a single long wing, which drapes down from either their left or their right shoulder like a cape and which almost reaches down to their feet. The feathers on their wing also have a rather fast regrow rate, which allows them to grow back in a matter of seconds if one of the feathers would be plucked out. Lastly, instead of normal ears, Lhoran have long pointed fox-like ears in top of their heads.
Abilities: Lhoran are famous for their incredible agility, swiftness, fast reflexes and inhuman senses, which made them commonly known as deadly and precise hunters who could navigate even through the densest forests. Another unique talent of the Lhoran, is their strong connection to their Soul, which not only gives them rather strong magical capabilities but also some minor soul-manipulative powers. However, the most unique ability of the Lhoran is their famous fighting style, for which they rely heavily on their soul-manipulative powers. While fighting, Lhoran pluck out several of their feathers from their wing and use their soul-manipulative powers to turn them from simple soft feathers into deadly dagger-like quills, which they then use as projectiles against their enemies. Thanks to their fast reflexes and rather high accuracy they rarely miss their targets. Also, since they used their own Soul Energy to enhance them, they can still control their feathers even after they already throw them. For example, they could alter their flight path or could let them return to them like a boomerang.
Lastly to finish things, here is a picture to give you a idea for the appearance of this new race and how your character might look like if you pick this race:

Alright then. To be honest, I actually managed to work most of the informations of the new ancestors, with exception for the Lhoran Ancestor. Still, I could give you what I managed to Work out until now for the ancestors of the four new Soulmancer Classes.
However, before I start I should mention, that the ancestors of the four new Soulmancer Classes are a little bit different from Henriette and Caitlyn. While these two ancestors are based on my own ideas, the ancestors of the four new Soulmancer Classes are actually based on and inspired by actual mythical or historical figures.
Well then, lets get to the ancestors.
Lancer
Soul Weapon: Gáe Bolg (Spear)
Ancestor: Scáthach
Titles: Queen of the Land of Shadows/Witch of Dun Scaith
Intel: A legendary Celtic warrior woman and martial arts teacher who trained the legendary Ulster hero Cú Chulainn in the arts of Combat and the original holder of the weapon Gáe Bolg.
Archer
Soul Weapon: Tauropolos (Bow)
Ancestor: Atalanta
Title: Chaste Huntress
Intel: A famous huntress from the Ancient Greek legends known for her swift feet and incredible aim, who became famous after being the first one to drive an arrow into the Calydonian Boar during its extermination. She was also a member of the “Argonauts” and fought alongside the legendary hero Jason.
Blademaster
Soul Weapon: Muramasa (Katana)
Ancestor: Miyamoto Musashi
Intel: A famous swordsman and Ronin from the early Edo period, who was known as the strongest swordsman in the history of Japan and who became renowned through stories of her excellent and unique double-bladed swordsmanship and undefeated record in her 61 duels.
Medic
Soul Weapon: Asclepius (Rotary Pistol)
Ancestor: Florence Nightingale
Title: Angel of Crimea
Intel: A woman of the British Empire from the 18th~19th Century, who was revered as the strongest maiden of her time, known for her unconditional belief in saving people and opposing the cruel “ era ” and “ world ” she lived in, by using the means called nursing and health care. She came to prominence while serving as a manager and trainer of nurses during the Crimean War, in which she organised care for wounded soldiers and did everything in her might to tend their wounds and ease their pains.
Well this would be all. I hope you don’t mind, that these character overviews were rather short. I will give you a more detailed one for every of the new ancestors, once I managed to work everything out.

Okay that’s it. I can’t pass up the chance to have my ancestor being the greatest swordsman that ever lived. Would it be possible to have a goal as a blademaster to be better than Musashi?

What are the high and low stats for these classes and the race, if such a thing has been decided
So all the soulmancer ancestors are women? Not that I’m complaining, but is there a reason why?
Musashi was a guy but I’m assuming that it was just a typo.
That makes sense
Yes, there is a reason for why all the Soulmancer ancestors are female. Sadly, I can’t tell you what this reason is just yet, since I don’t want to spoil the story for you.
Umm, actually it wasn’t a typo. You see, while you are right with the actual Miyamoto Musashi being male, my version of him within my story will be female.
I hope this won’t bother you too much.

Nah it’s fine. I wasn’t aware of that.

Are the ancestors ROs?
Edit: would it be kind of incest?
If Miyamoto is female in this story, wouldn’t it make sense to give her a female first name? Also calling her swordswoman instead of swordsman, in addition to be the correct form (afaik), would make things much clearer imo.
The name Musashi is a gender-neutral name, so I don’t think there is a reason to change that.
Hmm, you might be right. But honestly, I thought that the term “Swordswoman” would sound a little bit awkward, which is why I stayed with “Swordsman”.

No, they aren’t. Also, why would you want to date your own ancestor?

Are you sure? I’m not too familiar with Japanese names, but Musashi sounds kinda male to my ears. Could just be me though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hmm, after running the name trough Google, I only found male people with that name. The exception being one fictional (female) character.
Then again, in Japanese fiction people sometimes have a name that traditionally belongs to the other sex.
In the end, it’s not like it matters that much lol.
Sorry for all the the rambling. Sometimes it’s the small details that burrow themselves into my brain.
I guess “swordswoman” might sound weird if English isn’t your native language?
I’m not too knowledgeable on the terminology myself, I’ve just always seen women refered swordswoman and vice versa. Kind of like an actor/actress thing? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
