Yeah the Redguards can be compared to native africans, but there are visual and considerable culturale differences. There is a slight "reddish" tone to their skin that can be seen under certain light.

I would personally model theAkaviri humans after japanese though for simplicities sake, but I might add other features to them that are not found in any terrestrial race of humanity.

I personally dont see any problem with having an "asian" equivelent race, its better than repeating "caucasian, caucasian, caucasian" that really irks me about imperials, bretons, and nords...

Most players I know dont even bother with races of men in all honesty....

Maybe I would give them a slightly more... pacific islander sort of look? lift some ideas of tribal tattooing and customs from them.

throw in a little bit of native american stuff, Dream Catchers for example... maybe totem poles.... with all together different style of totems and beings though, primarily draconic.
