Race: Bonemen (undead skeletons)
History: Centuries ago, necromancers created skeleton constructs (golems, basically, but skeletons), by linking appendages and body parts by use of dark magic. In order to keep them hidden, they placed them into dark and almost unknown locations, like tombs, deep parts of mountains, and even graves. There were many that were left, because the necromancer forgot about them, died, or decided to just leave them there. Due to a large flux in dark energy, recently, the Bonemen rose by themselves, and with nothing better to do, turned evil or joined the brotherhood.
Attributes: They are basically Skeletons, sometimes with mix matched bleached and brown bones. Their mouths never move when they speak, and they don’t have eyes, yet seem to be able to stare at you, or look around. They sometimes wear clothes for modesty or style.
Strengths: Infinite stamina, no need to sleep, immortal, Strong and no flesh to cushion the blows, they can replace old bones with new ones, and remove their heads but stay conscious, even thought their body falls apart. No need to breath. Have a bone sense (Know where any other bones are)
Weakness: Holy energy causes them to fall apart, if the head is removed, the body falls apart, while the head is fully conscious, if 5% of the head is destroyed, the Boneman dies. Unable to use inherent magic.

OK. 2 things. 1. SKELETONS. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SKELLINGTON. Sorry, that just really pisses me off. It doesn't sound to me like they can breathe at all. For respiration, one needs a set of lungs.

Also, I don't want to be mean, but this post is PAINFUL to me. If you are very young or English is not your first language, I will be a little forgiving, but this needs work. Serious work. It makes me [sic].
But skipping all the spelling and grammatical errors, let me get down to the meat of it:
Well, good news first:
You've thought about the effects of dismemberment, etc. The ability to incorporate foreign bones is interesting. Keeping their mouths closed while they 'speak' is a nice touch as well.
Ok, bad news:
1) Your history is a single sentence that I cannot understand.
2) There is very little here, and skeletons being a common feature of fiction through the years, the more specific you can be, particularly in terms of how they're different from other conceptions of skeletons, the better.
3) Are they a race/society? Would you expect one to behave like another? One of the few points you made is that they wear clothing; is there any reason one wouldn't go naked?
4) There is already a character (don't know if it's approved or not) who is an animated skeleton. Therefore we either need the two of you to agree on the rules of skeletonhood, or explain why there are two different kinds, and how to differentiate between them.

Oh, Sorry, my spelling is never great and it get worse when I am posting late. . I'll try and use the spell check from now on. I hope we didn't get off on the wrong foot. The other guy who is an animated skeletons, what is his user name? I could talk it thorough with him, and get it all sorted out.

I'd say that after 4 days, it's okay to double post. But I'm not a mod or anything.

Race: Bonemen (undead skeletons) History: They joined the brotherhood with undead. What does this mean?Attributes: They are skeletons . Their bones are usually bleached white. They wear clothes for storage, modesty and fashion. So, just like humans? The bones are sometimes mixed matched Mismatched or mixed & matched? Either is good, really. where new bones have been added to replace old ones. Their mouths never move when they speak , and they have only sockets for eyes , but can still seem to be staring at you. They hear by vibrations in their skulls. Strengths: Immortal, can replace old bones with new bones, don't need to can breathe under water and do other dangerous stuff ??Weakness: Holy energy cause s them to fall apart ; if the head is destroyed , the boneman dies ; if the head is removed , the bones fall apart , but the head is conscious .Ok fixedOK now it's "fixed," but it's still just the 'bare bones' (pardon the pun). Is there nothing else you can give us? Where do they come from? How many are there? Where are they found? Do they move singly or in packs? Do they remember anything of their past lives, or were they never human at all? Does someone have to control them, or do they have free will? Are they animated, created, or "naturally occuring?" Do they smell bad? Can they feel, taste, or smell themselves? Are they slower or weaker than a human, or the same? Etc. etc.

I'd be surprised if the majority of them did smell bad, as bones themselves are virtually odourless- new additions to the skeleton may still have bits of rotting meat on, but other than that...
