When pitching an idea for a new species to an admin, it is advised that you use this form to collect your thoughts.
Species Name: The term your specie will usually be referred to as.
Land of Origin: Where the bulk of your creature's population will live.
Basic Body Structure: a.k.a Appearance, generalized for the entire species. Go into a description of the whole species first, then, if the male and female bodies differ (which they usually will), make sure to point that out.
Culture: This is probably going to be the hardest part of the form to fill out. It doesn't have to be exhaustive, though; just list off a few of the focusses in your species culture (i.e. combat, arts, etc.). You also need to include a few important customs of your people.
Strengths: A short list of your people's greatest strengths. Extended life-span/immortality, great strength, skilled magic-users. This will also be required on all personal profiles, so this is important.
Weaknesses: The same as the above, but list weaknesses instead. Low intelligence, frail body, etc.
Slang/Insults: No cultures are accepted and treated with kindness by everyone. In fact, most are in a state of civil dispute at least from time to time. Through this, most species have garnered a list of derogatory names (or at least a collection of slang terms) geared toward them. Most find them insulting, some more so than others.
