We know there will be 10 races. Here are screencaps from the various BLESS gameplay videos we've seen thus far along with official character designs and names. The lore is an unofficial English translation of a Russian translation of a Korean text. Hopefully it's close to accurate.
All races and classes?
UNION Races
1. Amistad
The Amistad value freedom, independence, scientific progress, and the various arts such as music and poetry. At one time, they were freed from the influence of the Empire and organized a union of the peoples inhabiting the southern half of the continent. Now they are competing on equal terms with the Empire and are free from others meddling in their affairs.
2. Aqua Elf
After the fall of the Kingdom of the Elves, many exiles relocated to the southern part of the continent. There, they began to call themselves the Aqua Elves. Their land is located on an island, separated from the continent by a wide strait. The main objective of this nation to create a society based on the principles of free thought and progress. The Aqua Elves entered into an alliance of southern peoples. Here, no one prevents them from living freely and thinking how they want.
3. Iblis
Just like the Fedayin, the Iblis were form another dimension. That world was ruled by the Devil's advocates, but the rebellion changed much. They retreated to this continent, leaving everything behind. Since the retreat, they rejected ancient knowledge and have now forgotten the skills that permitted movement between worlds. They are now cut off from ever returning home.
4. Pantera
The Pantera are strong and brave soldiers who refused to recognize another's power over them. Their previously scattered clans hunted and looted, resorting to robery. However, they have now united and joined the coalition of Union as equals to the other races. Uncontrollable and aggressive, they recognize honor and glory obtained through battle.
5. Siren
The Siren's racial home was destroyed by the eruption of an underwater volcano. A small group survived by taking refuge in a large ship and eventually washed ashore on the continent. The Siren commune with nature and are concerned with their survival, attempting to recreate their species along with their former power. They are renown as the most gifted swimmers, divers, and sailors and have amazingly beautiful voices.
HEIRON Races
1. Fedayin
Just like the Iblis, the Fedayin are from another dimension. In their home world, they were the elite of society. As a result of a rebellion they raised, they were forced out of the country and fled to the Empire. They remember their past mistakes and do not want to repeat them. They now protect the boundary of the Holy Empire from an invasion of evil.
2. Habichts
The Habicths are the second race of Humanity. They maintain traditional values such as loyalty and courage. Combining the wild tribes of the northern part of the continent, they prospered and want to extend its influence to the south in order to gather all the people of the continent under the single banner of the Holy Empire.
3. Lupus
The Lupus are one of the oldest forest races on the continent. They are strong, brave, and make for agile hunters. They value loyalty and dedication, discipline and obedience, and respect and appreciate other peace-loving races. However, on the battlefield, they turn into a predator few foes can withstand.
4. Mascu
Mascu appeared on the continent as an accident when their commercial airship was caught in a hurricane. Over time, they formed as a separate race in the Holy Empire of Heiron. This race is responsible for trade in the Empire. Mascu magic technologies differ from the technolgies of the contient on which they now reside.
5. Sylvan Elf
Sylvan Elves (wood elves) are a beautiful and noble race. They are considered the guardians of knowledge and traditions of the ancient civilizations. They share this knowledge with the younger, less firmly established civilizations of other creatures.
