    Second on the centaurs. That is a truly awesome idea, Jinx.

    I don't like [animal]-people (I mean by name, not actually by race). Come up with a good name for these fur-skinned ogres. xD

    Name them Ursarians.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Look up what bear translate to in Latin. Latin is an awesome language to go to when you want to make dull words sound awesome.

    Late suggestion is late.

    I like that name, too.

    I had created a race of animal people I referred to as Lynicians. Of course, only outsiders call them that. There are so many races within the Lynician species that the term is fairly racist.

    I like the Ursis idea as well. I vote for that.

    The sooner we can nail down the extra races, the sooner I can get enough of a grasp of the world to build my character.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    I'd like a more concrete definition of the Ursus race (is that what we're calling them? Officially?) so that I understand what exactly they are. They're like the Golden Compass bears, yeah? ;o

    Anyway...

    I see that the suggested races so far are:

    - Bear race
    - Nagas/Mermaids/Zora
    - Elves
    - Dwarves
    - Ogres
    - Shumi-like race
    - Ronso-like race
    - (not actually evil) Goblins and/or Orcs
    - a feline and/or canine race
    - Centaurs
    - Moogles
    - Kobolds
    - Snakeskinned humanoids who live in the desert


    Did I miss anything?

    If anyone has anymore ideas, go for it.

    From chat:
    < MDNA > PaperSTar, just go with community-driven nomad Moogles who ride speedy donkeys everywhere, and as a side effect, developed a courier/mail system
    < MDNA > Give Moogles horns, so they are like mini-Ronsos, and we have knocked out another race
    < MDNA > While the idea of techy moogles and merchants/shopkeeps are explored ideas, I always keep coming back to FFVI, where they were these adorable things armed polearms, knives, swords, and other weapons who attack humans who are mining into their mountain
    < MDNA > So I imagine tiny cute balls of fluffy who swarm larger targets, pelting them with arrows, stones, and moving in with other weapons to finish the job
    < MDNA > Group-based hunter/gatherers
    < MDNA > Their postal service is an example of them making money off other races and city-fied Moogles

    - Humans
    - Elves
    - Dwarves
    - Anuseth (dog-people, can probably shapeshift)
    - Felinyans (cat-humans, can probably shapeshift)
    - Angelic beings
    - Demonic beings (not all of the must be necessarily bad in person though); Vampires, Succubi, Inccubi (can probably shapeshift)
    - Harpies
    - Reptilians (Lizardmen, Dragonmen who can shapeshift, Lamias, et cetera)
    - Insectians/Spider-humans (Bees, Spiders, etc.)
    - Zoras
    - Cyborgs - no race but modified beings, also maybe an actual robotic "race" though, probably a real (real as a living individual) existence, an artificial intelligence
    - Me

    Once again reiterating my love for the idea of a bear-like race in the same vein that Jinx has suggested. Being able to have varying races (arctic, forest, mountain, desert, etc) and give them variation is awesome. Also, can you imagine how cool it would be for BoB the Jaguar to interact with these other creatures?

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I think you need a race of fliers so either giant eagles or people with wings but not necessarily feathery wings. Maybe bat wings or the Soren wings from Legend of Legaia. Though a race that can bypass terrain easily have a strong advantage so theyd need major nerfs in other areas

    I also like the bear idea.
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!
