Since we allow non-human characters, here's a list of what's you can be. As you can see, not all of them have descriptions. This is because we're allowing the first member to join as a particular species determine the "rules" for said species. Want to join as a species but don't want to come up with the description? That's cool too, but either an admin or the next person to join will come up with it, so you'll have to go with whatever they say. Also, if you want any changes to a certain species, we may be willing to accommodate some of those requests as well.
Want a species that's not on here? Just post with a description and it will most likely be added. Just stick with humanoid things. Feel free to make something up too, but you'll also have to name the species in that case. I also think it might be best if we don't incorporate things from other universes - so no Twi'leks, Skrulls, Time Lords or other things from something else. So, either general fantasy/mythology type stuff or made up stuff.
Human: Not much to say here. Humans. Yay!
Shapeshifter: They have a human form and up to four other animal forms that they can shift into.
Angel: Includes Fallen Angels. Appear human, but usually larger with feathery wings and odd colored eyes are not unusual. Fallen angels can look identical, although they have a tendency to have darkening feathers but not always and some regular angels may also have darker feathers. Angels have healing abilities but fallen angels have weakened healing abilities, but they can also have weak control over an element (fire, water, earth, air, or lightning).
Vampire: [No sparkling!]
Demon:
Werewolf: [Feel free to extend definition to include those who turn into other animals]
Elf:
