So, here it is. We get to discuss the types of creatures we will be seeing in our new world. This one might end up getting into some site mechanics more than the discussion about theme was (I feel that each new discussion will likely end up being a little bit more rules/mechanics-oriented than the last).
So, what we're probably looking for is to put together a list of creatures in our world, divided into two categories. Those categories being PC and NPC characters. PC characters are those sorts of creatures that can be made into characters for the regular members. While anything that can be a PC can also be an NPC, the specific "NPC" category here is for things that will never be a PC. Mostly those are things that are either deific in power or non-sentient.
Either way, I think the main sorta profile thing I will be looking to be able to fill out for any polished finished product of a creature will look something like this:
Name: The feck are they called? Humans, Fae, Vampires, werewolves, whatever.
PC or NPC: See above for the clarification in difference between these two.
Strengths: What are they good at? Are they super strong? Do they fart magic? Are they super good at calculus?
Weaknesses: Everyone has to have something wrong with them, right? Turn to dust in sun mayhaps? Allergic to silver?
Description: Tell us what they are like. Physical characteristics, mental characteristics, general social attitudes.
Progression: The more rules-oriented question. What do they do to progress and get stronger. Kinda vague, but that is mainly because we haven't really delved into this too much.
Origin: How are they here in Faerie? Were they created here? Were they always here? Did they sneak in through some old guy's wardrobe?
Other: What did I miss? Add it in.
Also, if you think I need more categories then make your case and we could add more categories.
