If you want to be a half-vampire, play yourself as a half-vampire. Obviously if I give the option of being a vampire and drinking blood or being a halfvamp with all the powers and none of the weaknesses, everyone's gonna opt for halfvamp anyway.

Elves...blah. They're identical to humans anyway, so what's the point? I mean, just humans with different heads.
Maybe I'll classify them as Humanoids. All other unlisted humanoid races are humans, including dwarves and elves and halfelves and....

A human in Gaia is basically an elf anyway. *shrugs*

I'mma have enough problems just getting the 6 mentioned races together and working without adding make-your-own-race's to the mix.

Customization exists simply with the mixture of race and nation, so there should be no problem there. A humanoid classification would be great if that CHANGED anything, but it doesn't, so might as well keep it as human (otherwise, vamps get mixed into it).

I'm just doubtful RPing and warring when Nations go public will mix well. There needs to be enough reasons/perks and a strong sense of what you are doing to bring that about.
