Is reincarnation acceptable (like Pythagoreanism or Hinduism)? I just wanted to see if it is approved before I start on a nation sheet.

I don't personally have a problem with that, as long as there is suitable delay and skill regression.

Well, forgive me for being blunt, but could I have a yes or no answer?

It's fine if you're blunt. In fact, I'd rather you were blunt and straight-talking rather than dancing about the issue.
In response to your request, I'm going to have to say no. Two legs only. I'm fine with weaker, vestigial arms, as long as they aren't overwhelming in combat, but I'd prefer your race to be more humanoid.

However, you can have your original race as a elite, less numerous species.
