Assassins.....wait this isnt really a race or is it?
 

I was thinking maybe Assassin type race. Thier advantage is a fast speed and abillitie to carry double weapons. Disadvantages are they can be killed easily (1 hit with anything unless they carry some sort of armor which would take one hit and go away and must be repaired/bought again at a store). Yes there is more but, first i was thinkiing it was a class so i thought. Maybe they could have a background of demonic history. They are half human and half demon which gives them there unnormal status. They always hide most of there face under a cloack and have a tail. There back is also covered along with a lot of there body. they have small horns which appear as bumps under there clothes layer. They are also a bit smaller then the human race.
Along with that when in water they swim under it so you see only a dark figure or something (just to make them more original) the controls could be like
s-weapon
a-jump (they just jump right up instead of having a shield which auto blocks arrows when they face it they must jump when being shot)
d-npc weapon
There normal weapons could be a short blade with a handle that they jab with. I dunno just a thought to build on.

Different name though. Assassins are from Diablo 2.

More like a class

I cant think of names. Assassins Are a class in diablo 2 but, irl there are assassins also so it isnt from that. Besides in diablo 2 arent they human? If you actually read what I wrote these are not. Anyone have a good name?
