Additional Species

[Mii~]

• Elves
  

  -Long living or immortal forest creatures that possess magical powers, almost always connected to the earth. Human appearance, except for the cliche pointy ears. Male and female.

  
  
• Fae and Fairies
  

  Fae - Otherwordly, able to see the future, or touched in the head, Fae slightly differ from Fairies. In popular culture the Fae, if recognized at all, have been reduced to small, winged, humanoid, female creatures who have abilities connected to time.
  Fairies - Human in general appearance, though has the ability to cast a spell to turn themselves into tiny human-beings. Always having wings, they resemble butterfly wings. The posses magical powers, usually connected to the main elements and are also able to fly in their tiny form. Mischievous by nature. Male and female.

  
  
• Witches and Humans with a single special ability
  

  Witches - Human like species with the ability to cast spells and use all elemental power around them. Often have can use their magic on others, and only sometimes themselves. Born with their powers and have been able to use them since then. They carry around their Book of Shadows, or spell books. Can encase an object in magic, yes, like a broom, and fly with it's aid. Male and female.
  Humans with a single ability - Just that. Born completely human, but over time, (usually when they turn seven or eight) develop a special skill such as mind reading, telekinesis, future sight, ect. Can only use this one ability on themselves, (with the exception of mind reading. Telekinesis is moving objects, not other people). When using their power, almost always tuned out of everything around them.

A suggestion I talked to Rawr with. Please vote, so we know what you guys think!

[Tanith]

Can we vote for some and not for others?

I've had multiple bad experiences with people who RP elves... >_>

[Mii~]

xD; I suppose so -actually wanted to make new character an Elf or Witch- Anywho, if you want to vote for one, I say it should work like this:

Vote "yes" then post which species you would like to see out of the list. ^_^

Well so long as we have a way to limit what witches can do so that they don't become super-powered magic users (eg, the amount of magic they have to use increases with age, so they can't do too many spells at once) then I don't have the slightest worry about them. Fae and fairies I'm alright with, and humans with abilties are fair enough - puts them on equal ground with all the other species.

But elves worry me, because I find that people use them far, far too often as an excuse to create the most perfect being in the world. Aparently Mary Sues and Gary Stus are okay if they're elves... *shudder*

[Mii~]

Oh, yes! Of course. We don't want any sort of uber powerful mage running around. xD We'll make sure to put a limit on a character's magical ability if they're trying out to be a witch.

As for Elves, I wasn't aware that they're were many Mary-sue characters as that species. >_o No worries, though. It states in the rules here, clearly, no Mary or Garys! And I'm sure Rawr or any other staff wouldn't pass a character like that. ^_^ If you look at it logically, Earth is vulnerable to different elements. And the school students aren't allowed to have weapons. And surely Elves would be picked on for their ears at some point in their life, especially High School. ;] -nodnod-

For the record, Mii, I adore you. Because I swear, you are the only person I've met that's mentioned RPing elves and taken a logical approach. (You really wouldn't believe how many would argue that an elf is 'so breathtakingly beautiful that the ears don't even get noticed until they have long left')

[Mii~]

Squee! -blushblush- Why thankies, m'dear! I'm glad I have enough of a thought process to keep my perspective in place. xD Honestly, I would never have guessed people think like that. Its just a little over the top. Like, I know Vampires (like Azarni, for example) are supposedly 'breathtakingly beautiful', but I don't mention that in every single post. =/ I didn't even mention that in her application. I don't like it when people RP the good looks of their characters over and over.
