Thanks for answering my questions. I will get started on a CS. I will be making a new race, but it will not be that big. I was also wondering if I could play as one of the monster things the Combine encountered... or at least a species like them. Would that be allowed?

Hmm, those beings are antagonists. They're not even sentient in any meaningful way. I hope your wish to join isn't entirely based on just wanting to portray an exotic race. That's really not what this roleplay is about. You're welcome to apply with what you have in mind, but be prepared for a potential rejection.
