There's a very good reason I started editing the Wiki while they were talking. I added in the profiles of each god that was approved by Zale and edited Kagehana and a few others of mine while I was at it. Also, every Independent God is now on the Wiki too.

Excellent, I'll stop by to help fill in the blanks on my things.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

I'll just say this much: I still have a LOT of material to add to the Wiki. I'm seriously going to add a shortened history of everything that happened in the LoC RP later.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

If you need me I will happily assist.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Thanks, that'll help a lot... Oh, drat! I just realized that I forgot to add a page for Von Trapt! Oh, well, I'll let you do that.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

I'm not sure. Right now I've backpedaled on my stance that there we should divided Races into the Mundane and Mythical Subgroups, and am now arguing in favor of just letting races have the option of Magic Abilities.

I'm also submitting a definition of what distinguishes a Mythical Creature from a Race that you can read up there on the previous page.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

I would be eternally grateful for your help. There's so much stuff to add still. I already removed unnecessary groupings on the wiki and added others for things that needed to be grouped.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

If there is any specifics you need from me, feel free to email me day or night and ask. I'll try to start adding and editing where I can.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

That goes for me as well, Dryad.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Thanks both of you! As it is, right now your own gods would be fine for now. And I'm going to be logged off the family computer soon so I won't be able to edit for a few hours.

Teleporting =/= Slight Armored Skin.

Teleporting =/= Can survive underwater but nowhere else.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

In all honesty, I agree with Zale's division of Mythical and Mundane races and can't really see the downside other than a slight shifting of power balances amongst current races and that shouldn't be all the big a deal considering that most races have played a passive role so far and have barely been explored enough for the shift to even be noticeable.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Teleporter hurts fist on armored skin.

And that other one is a flaw.

[Zaleramancer]

They aren't equal.

Draemar get metallic skin.

Shardmind get tough crystalline bodies, telepathy, and magical affinity.

These are not equal.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

As well, just to control the effects of teleportation, since I'm the one who created the first teleporters in the current LoC world (we need to name it), I'm going to say that you can't teleport one thing into another, the teleportation just fails if you try to do that. E.G. No cutting a diamond with a piece paper by teleporting the paper inside the diamond.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

That one of the major reasons I vote for a segmentation between mythical and mundane. Many races are vastly stacked in such a way that some vastly out power others in terms of skills or magic. Dividing these groups into classifications only makes sense to me.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Hear-Hear!

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Metal smashes crystal, Draemar can learn magic but wouldn't be as good, and there are plenty of techniques in fiction for preventing a psychic from reading your mind that, while the man on the street wouldn't know, I'm sure would be developed for anyone who deals in a diplomatic or combat context with the Shardminds.

Also, they live in a tower and hardly ever travel in group of more than one.

I think I made this same argument about Dryad Miracleing her races new abilities: It does not, in practical purposes, matter what or how many powers a race has. You can work out ways that make sense, in universe, to counter them.

[Zaleramancer]

Mythical Races would not be equal on a individual scale to Mundane Races.

But it would even out to a degree on a larger scale.

That's the point. It's a matter of tactics. :|

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Durhinans are good at crafting things.

Milteos have huge claws that are capable of piercing solid stone.

These things are not equal.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Precisely, and thus they should be categorized differently.
