Base design

[Myself]

Want me to get a city-ship to land on it's oceans to serve as a base?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

No nothing like that...I just need to improve the planet.

[Mik_Hael]

screw it all, I'm making a base, i don''t care if I don't use one but I need something to practice.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 You can never make anything too awesome.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Exactly, but I need some help with making it more awesome.

[Mik_Hael]

Mounted mutagen lazer turrets.

A machine capable of rapid firing your super quarts shards at a rate of ten tousand per second

The ability to turn the entire planet into a giant battle golem at a moments notice.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Like I already said. I'm looking to improve the planet not the defense system.

My library is a separate extra-dimensional space overlaying the normal multi-verse. It extends over an area greater than a few continents the size of Asia, and it grows nearly constantly. Nearly every book ever written exists somewhere within it, as well as many things I've collected over time. Magic items, Bizarre Tech, Caged Dragons.. You know that sort of thing.

The primary defenses are the fact that only I really know how to enter and exit it safely, as well as the various golems, automatons, minions and hangers-on that I employ. It's also got plenty of nasty guardian critters.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Would it possible to visit? It seems like I could find some cool things in there.

[Mik_Hael]

....I don't understand the difference....okay, do you have crystaline forests and animals?

[Zaleramancer]

As long as you don't get pizza stains on my spellbooks.

The last person who did that is now decorating the topiary garden.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

No and yes.

[Mik_Hael]

.....for some reason after reading this I thought of the possibility of a hidden tribe of lost patrons who could not find their way out of the giant labryinth...

[Mik_Hael]

so forest and animals but not crystaline ones

[Marvelous Miscreant]

No, I don't make everything out of crystal and quartz. That would be ridiculous.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Awesome!

[Myself]

Oh, no, I was just thinking as a platform to improve the planet from.

Advanced technology would help a bit.

[Myself]

I make a small custom planet like the rest of the site (well, some of us anyway).

It is partially based on Codex Alera, with everyone capable of manipulating one of the following elements, each with a physical modification:
-Wood (regeneration)
-Metal (durability + pain tolerance)
-Air (speed)
-Fire (fire immunity)
-Earth (strength)
-Water (underwater adaptation)

There is a "king" of each element and six princes of each element (or their female equivalents). One prince of the king's element stays with him and the other five go off to each of the others to regulate their respective populations (water manipulators never listen to earth manipulators, for example). Thus, each king has one prince of each element in his court.

However, when a king dies, his six princes (whether or not they're his actual children) and his guardian (explained later) return home and engage in a battle of elemental manipulation to decide the victor, who replaces the king. Then, one other prince (or, again, female equivalent) takes the place of the new king.

However, only the adults gain elemental manipulation; children only gain them upon reaching puberty. Before puberty, they all have a shapeshifting ability similar to that in the book series Shifters, then choose their form.

Each race there has a "gift". For example, fairies can shapeshift to a limited extent for their entire lives, while humans manipulate elements.

I am protected by a guardian of each element. In addition to their element manipulation abilities, they are able to absorb all kinds of energy. These barons can also fight to become king, though they lose their enhanced powers. Should they die or become king, one of the six princes will replace him after yet another fight.

The guardians are connected to me; we each strengthen each other, just like my special weapons kept in my armory and modified objects. In addition, when they absorb energy, my powers are boosted, as well as their own.

I'm still modifying it. The idea to create it really came from Celadon.

[Zaleramancer]

Interesting.

So what are all the races?
