Dungeon Meshi Human Interracial offspring (Mostly Spoiler Free)
As you might know, in Dungeon Meshi "human" is a term that refers to not only "tallman" (the equivalent of our world humans) but also Half-Foots, Ogres, Dwarves and Elves.
Besides the weird bone counting classification Kabru made I think one of the defining "human" aspects might be being able to have offspring with each other (unclear if that's possible at all between human and demi-human).
That said the Adventurer's Guide has some information about it that I wanted to share.
First, Humans in dungeon meshi are divided between short and long lived races, those are:
Long Lived Human Races:
Elf
Dwarf
Gnome
Short Lived Human Races:
Tallman
Half-foot
Ogre
As a general rule mixed offspring seems to be infertile but there's some exceptions.
Confirmed mixed race offspring that can leave descendants (Fertile offspring):
Tallman x Half-Foot
Tallman x Ogre
Dwarf x Gnome
An easy chart with the info! (It's not that complicated but its easier for me to see like this) (edit: added info what mixes have confirmed and speculated characters)
Seems like short-lived species can only have fertile offspring with each other and the same for long lived. Although there's no information about elves being able to have them with any other races, maybe because they live so much more than the other long-lived species (400 vs 200 & 240)
There's also no information about Ogres with Half-foot but I don't imagine the logistics to produce offspring would work there 😳
Another thing is that the Adventurer's Bible describes that the tallman have had an explosive growth due to having fertile offspring with half-foot and Ogres , so I wonder if that means their offspring are tallman too? Or are they still half-half-foot (a funny name) and half-Ogre? Unclear!
some of the confirmed mixed characters:
Corpse Retriever Leader - Half-Dwarf (Dwarf x Tallman)
Corpse Retriever Priest - Half-Gnome (Gnome x ? [Probably Tallman])
Fionil - Half-Elf (Elf x ? [Probably Tallman])
For the chart I added them as confirmed half-tallman due to their height/looks, I'm just being overzealous here.
Speculated mixed from the race portraits
In order: Half-Foot page: possibly half-dwarf | Elf Page: possibly half-foot or gnome mix | Dwarf page: possibly half-gnome.
Sources and Spoilers Bellow the cut
From the page about tallman in the adventurer's bible (p134)
From the page about dwarves in the adventurer's bible (p140)
From the page about Ogres in the adventurer's bible (p140)
Page about 'other characters' (p098)
Fionil Profile (p096)
Spoiler And ofc I did not forget Marcille! I just don't want to tag this as spoilers since that would be pretty much the only spoiler

“Ye seem like the interesting sort. Up for a little mead? This boyo is buying.”@half-dwarf for any BG3 muse you want.
“Hard to say no to a suggestion like that,” Shadowheart said, because that sounded like a decent enough way to spend the rest of her day. And probably into her night if she was given the opportunity. She always did have a hard time saying no to some free alcohol.

Assessment time
(Köber the hunter will see all Characters with a filter, to her they will appear as one of 11 races of mortal beings of her world. And perhaps even a specific character class if you wish one assigned. If you wish to know which race or class you'd prefer to be seen. THIS POST will contain information)
Köber: Time for Assessment!

Another character for my 31 character challenge.
Her name is Tabetha Gatti, a half-dwarf who was turned away by her birth family when she was young, now travels around with Raz, helping with their various schemes. She’s the muscle of the duo.

Some bg3 sketches!
My first Tav, tiefling bard, who sings silly little songs about her beautiful wife Karlach and tries her best
Second Tav, a half-orc barbarian with enemies to lovers relationship with Shadowheart, but he's a himbo and has no idea they have beef
And a third one, a rich noble dwarf necromancer with questionable morals and interest in otherworldly creatures if you catch my drift ahahaha
and some companion sketches

Got into dunmeshi recently and got some. Thoughts. On the chilchuckxsenshi ship
Mostly I just think it's weird af since it's canon half foots look like kids, so it kind of gives "this is my girlfriend who looks like a child, but it's okay because she is a 2000 year old vampire demon queen" if that makes sense
If it was just Marcille infantilizing Chilchuck, that would be one thing I think, but Senshi himself thinks Chilchuck is a child (because half foots look like children!)
It is just weird
