How Many Species Have You Written?

[Hailyn]

Out of curiosity, how many characters have you written that do not belong to the generic Human or Near-Human (Human off-shoots in origin, with very minor biological differences) species?

What categories of species have you wrote? (Such as Avian, Amphibian, etc.)

 

[Hailyn]

Feel free to share what these species might be, whether it be canon or board-made.

Question,

do hybrids count as an individual species?

[Edric Vanyan]

So many ive written...

Question,

do hybrids count as an individual species?

[member="Darth Vitium"]

I guess? It would kind of depend on how distinct they are from their species of origin.

A human-twi'lek hybrid would be near-human, though.

 

[Darth Imperia]

I've written one entire character.
Does having a Zeltron in the family five generations back count as "Near-Human?"
>_>

This poll should provide some insight to the trends of various types of species that get used on the board.

 

[Ghorua the Shark]

Let's see.

In order, I've written...

Herglic, Rodian, Caamasi, Hutt, Bith.

Love RPing weird species. I can be a human any day, but I don't often get the chance in real life to be a giant whale-man, now do I?

 

[Connor Harrison]

I'm not confident enough to branch outside of human/near-human.

I want to however, so maybe 2017 will give me muse to do that.

 

[riseabovenormality]

Two lizards and a cat, if I remember correctly. I've always meant to branch out a bit more, but my 'need' to have visual references of my characters has limited me somewhat in this, seeing as it's obviously easier to find art of humans than aliens.

 

[Fatty]

Oh geez, I have played and created my own so many times. I absolutely love aliens. I've made more aliens than I have full characters with personality outside of Chaos.

On Chaos though, I have created and played three different characters and generations of my custom species (fun fact - THE first species submission to be submitted) the Resu, which are technically a Pisces species, but I classified them as Amphibian, Inorganic (they are silicon based, and more than half of them are afflicted with a techno-virus in most recent IC canon), and Other. I've also played two Hutts (one a Jedi which didn't go far at all, and Zambrano the Hutt who went all out freakin' crazy over the hills) which is classified as Other, and I used to play as a genuine Tusken Raider Mandalorian which I classified as humanoid. Also most recently, I made a Falleen character, which is classified as Near-human.

It is my opinion, that if you are going to play as an alien, go ALL OUT alien. Which is why after three years of role playing its probably my first time playing a near-human as of a couple weeks ago (if we consider Tusken Raiders as non-human "humanoids").

 

[Vexen]

Houk, Defel, Yuuzhan Vong, Bothan, Devaronian, Lovalla, Gungan.

Haven't written a droid yet!

 

[HK-36]

Humans are so boring though, no tentacles or weird breathing apparatus or anything,

Droid was my first character, and yeah it was HK, because when I first started off RPing in Star Wars, it was on a JKA server, I came in there off of a FFA/deathmatch server and I was still only getting into it so I played mostly background NPC characters, all of them droids, if they needed a janitor droid in the background, bam I was there, if they needed a medical droid, they just let me know, if they needed a lightsaber training droid I fought them too. It turned out that I was pretty good at it so eventually a made a full char, combined all of that into one and HK was born.

Then I have a Kel'Dor after seeing Plo Koon in action, a Khazad who are Chaos-canon Space Dwarves, a Dark Jedi Eldorai maleling to go up against Sio's Eldorai ladies, a Nautolan, 4 other droids, most of them HRDs, one filthy human who is my token Sith, and a Valkyri from Midvinter.

I would also love to write a Givin, Verpine, Bloodcarver, Kaleesh, or a Wookiee sometime.

Bring back your Dwarf.


I have three active space elves: Two Eldorai, one Xioquo (basically a drow). In other words, near-humans. Maybe I should try my hand at an alien that's...actually alien. Some day. Naamah is my Clawdite because I like shifters. I used to have a Miraluka back on the first board [member="Valiens Nantaris"] and I rped on.


Presently I have three HRDs, but I struggle to write them these days.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

I've only ever had as many as 5 characters:

• Thurion and Thyrian are both equal parts Valkyri and Human (Alderaan).
• Nina is Umbaran (adopted by Thurion at an early age).
• Arnor is Beorni.
• Thrand is part Umbaran, part Valkyri.

So technically four species, if the half-human part counts.

I might, I was thinking about it recently, but it's so hard for me to keep up writing on my alts, so we'll see

[member="Thurion Heavenshield"],

You should make a droid from Midvinter to be like HK's Scandinavian cousin

 

[Kuzo]

Here, I've written/am writing human/near human, flora (but shhh), HRD, and Nezumi (custom race).

Previously, I've written Caamasi, Trianii, Lepi, and Yuuzhan Vong. I feel like I'm forgetting something, but it couldn't have been a character I spent much time on or I'd recall it.
