I'm going to make a series of posts in this thread, detailing over the species/races present in the DIG world. I'm gonna include some illustrations, so I won't have them ready immediately.

Thanks! I'm really glad you're enjoying it.
I definitely see what you mean about the Wind Waker aspect of it--it wasn't intentional on my part, but WW probably did serve as a subconscious inspiration for the Nolor design. The French aspect is an interesting angle; at the very least, I did include some French influence, in terms of names: e.g., "Remy le Bagnard" is a French name (and kind of intentionally cheesy), and the name "Argenty" is supposed to be reminiscent of some regions of France, such as Normandy and Brittany. (Also, since Argenty does its fair share of despicable things, I think it's worth mentioning that I don't mean for it to be any sort of criticism or jab at France--the connections are purely aesthetic.)
As for the designs themselves seeming French, I can't say I planned on that, but I don't mind the comparison either. My guess is that it's the big noses.

Nope, you didn't miss it. I had planned on letting the explanation for it come out a bit more "organically", through people having Lemo ask about it, or maybe having Remy bring it up once there was a good reason to do so. It's no big deal that it didn't happen, though--perhaps Lemo isn't curious about it, since every Nolor he's ever seen has worn a respirator of some kind, and he just doesn't question it. The respirators are for supplying phloxum, a colorless, odorless gas that is necessary for the generation of body heat in Nolors' bodies. Without it, they effectively become cold-blooded. At one time phloxum was abundant in the atmosphere, but it isn't anymore and instead has to be mined for underground (similar to how natural gas is mined). A notable exception to this are Clezeans (such as Mo), who do have some ability to generate body heat independently, but using phloxum augments the process.
