Any type of lifeform whose species is on the brink of extinction. Important characters being "the last of their kind" was once so common in fiction that it has become a mocked cliche.

Fanatically loyal to Sauron and long-time enemies of Gondor, the cruel Easterlings have marshalled to war in the Dark Lord's name, revering him as a vengeful deity.
Enchanters are spell casters that focus on the manipulation of the mind and deception.
Exominds (or simply Exos as they are more commonly known) are self-aware humanoid machines built by humanity in the Golden Age. Unlike mass-produced robotic frames, Exos are human minds uploaded in artificial bodies; Each and every Exo used to be a human being.
Extreme violence pertains to excessive amounts of blood, gore, or violent acts. These include decapitation, mutilation, dismemberment, amputation, defenestration, disembowelment, torture and much more.
A game based heavily on real-world events, usually with heightened realism. Such games include "Six Days in Fallujah".

Games that feature an antagonist--someone who opposes the game's protagonist--that is a woman.
The First Order is the villainous successor to the Galactic Empire in the Star Wars series.
A fleet is a group of ships, typically military warships, that sail together for mutual protection and to consolidate their power.
The Galactic Empire was the galactic government established by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine in the Star Wars Universe.
Before the rise of the Empire there was the Galactic Republic.
A characteristic present in game characters with a superior state of mind reflected in how they solve problems and their way of approaching situations.
Ghosts are small, sapient machines created by the Traveler shortly after the Collapse. Their sole purpose is to locate and resurrect deceased individuals capable of wielding the Light as Guardians, and to support their Guardian charge in combat.
A state of mind in which a person (usually a leader or dictator) genuinely believes that they are a powerful god.
The Grey Knights are the legendary chapter 666. They specialize in destroying the physical manifestations of Chaos, Daemons.
A gunslinger is to guns what a swordmaster is to swords.
A Half Elf is the offspring of a human and an elf. In many cases, they are discriminated against by both humans and elves, which guides them to a nomadic life as bards, druids, or rangers.
A living being who is the product of the reproductive mating of two different species.
Half-orcs are a race that is half human, half orc.
"Hand to hand. It is the basis of all combat." -Gray Fox
By and large, a hick is an uncultivated person living rurally. Hicks are known to shoot at livestock-abducting aliens, produce moonshine, and marry their cousins.
A religion of the Indian subcontinent, encompassing many different traditions. It is the largest third religion in the world, and also one of the world's oldest religions still in practice.
Nothing helps set a game in a specific point in time more than having a few famous faces from history drop by to say hi.
In the Fullmetal Alchemist universe, a homunculus is a being that seeks to be human. They are created when a person has failed to resurrect someone from the dead with Alchemy. They look exactly like the dead person who was being revived except they have tattoos on their bodies.
Concept in which designers fuse usefulness of multiple classes into a single class. A Jack of All Trades and (usually) Master of None.
