"Our kind"? Are we going back to the idea that there is an organization that tries to preserve the peace? I wasn't quite certain if that particular element was carrying through, but it does make sense. If so, how did the organization get created? Or maybe I misread what you were trying to say. Anyway. I would like elaboration on that first paragraph all the way around. :)

Sounds good. Supplemental creation is always a lot of fun. It will also be nice to have some... odder things in the mix. But I do want to make sure to include Raksasha, I'd rather avoid some of the random, creepy vampiric creatures from the Philippine and surrounding area, since they are mostly just repeats, and I think we can come up with some other cool things. Are we going to want to do "light" and "dark" versions of certain creatures? Like elves and dragons? Or do we want to pick one species for each type, give them a side, and leave them there? Because there are often numerous varieties of a single "species".

I'm not too sure what you mean by cliches in this case. Do you mean in terms of species and attitudes, or in terms of plot elements?

Hmm... A basis. I would be really fascinated about doing a world where the potential for a long fall is always hanging above everyone's head. I'm not quite sure what I mean by that, only that people have to pay attention to where they walk. I suppose that could mean living in giant trees, or having a world that is entirely made up of really jagged mountains, with narrow, steep paths and everything going up, or even floating islands. It is just a place where you have to pay attention to how you are moving, and if you closed your eyes and walked randomly you'd probably die within a minute. Unless you had wings.

Sorry it took me a bit of time to get back to you. I lost the bookmark, and kind of forgot to check in. I'll try not to do it again. :)
