[QUOTE="celt, post: 1467619, member: 967"] I'm constantly hovering around the idea of some cat people. I didn't like any of the ones in Mythic Races and I'm still pursuing something that really makes them stand out. I can see you emphasing the apparant vanity of cats to good use here in your description. I need a trait that gives "cat people" even [B]more[/B] ooomph. I initially considered a water-based race but I can't get away from the Aquaman feeling that they give me (I also sell comics). The whole "wait till I catch you in some water, THEN we'll see who's laughing!" thing puts me off. I'm pretty sure this indicates a failing on my part. This is the one I'm most attracted to in your list. There's something interesting you've got going here. There's a race in Mythic Races called Tremen that have some of what you're describing but definately less frail. They're a sort of manifestation of nature's desire to understand what these PEOPLE THINGS are doing crawling all over the place. Steering away from strong races. I appreciate the wedding of a sort of playfullness with strength but strength is such a huge stat in the game that I'm afraid to lead with it. I can almost hear a good half of all gamers saying "Now I'm sure I wouldn't want to play in celt's game!" Clearly I'm a nutter. The main thing I got out of this is the idea of someone in particular creating a whole race. Not a god, but a certain powerful someone. That seems workable. You're very generous. I may take you up on that as I start nailing down the specifics of where I'm going. Thanks very much for taking the time to show me your ideas. I got a real kick out of reading them. [/QUOTE]
