Badass. =D Also might be worth looking into...all of my races are based on the novel I'm writing, so I'm always looking to add new things. I have an African character (one of the Dragons), but not really any based on mythical creatures from there. The RP is an experiment to see how my universe works in motion, and also because I like to see people's creativity at work. I won't be using anyone's submitted ideas in my writing, of course, but it does add some intrigue beyond the normal 'mythical creatures blah blah' because this is a universe where anything and everything has the potential to exist. The penchant for mimicking speech is an interesting reoccurring ability. Werewolves and Skinwalkers have both also been said to do that, I assume because it taps into a primal fear.
