Race customisation improvement

I have a suggestion to expand the race creation/edit modal with the following:

Appearance
A general appearance individuals of this race should have, i.e. cracked skin, turquoise hair, ten wings, or any other race-specific phenotypes.

Natural Habitat(s)
Areas and/or POIs where this race naturally lives. Maybe they can only live in specific conditions, or are an extremely isolationist race.

Culture
Specific customs for this race: maybe they intertwine their tails as greeting, or they have a predisposition for specific apparel or a specific way of wearing it.

Name Template
I don’t know if and how this would work, but the idea is rather simple. There would be some sort of mustache template where you could decide the order of names like {{firstname}} {{lastname}} or vice versa, and even add additional names so that you could have multiple first names, or multiple last names like in Spanish or Portuguese. Then, there would be also a place where you could say like “This race doesn’t have the letter G anywhere in their names,“ “The female names start always with a V,“ “The male names always end with -ssia,“ things like that.

Honorifics
Maybe as part of the name template part, here’s how it could work, for example: a normal carpenter would just have their name, but once one becomes a master carpenter they’d get the affix “shorin,“ or a monarch would have the affix “veali.“

Sexes
Maybe it’s an all-female race, an all-male race, they have a skewed ratio between the two, or they have no sex at all (like when it’s a race of pure energy beings or something).

Race specific classes
Due to their habitat, race X are the only ones who can be class Y.

That’s all I can think of for now.
