Twi'lek, Mirialan, and possibly Theelin.

I'm not certain to what extent a Pau'an is "non-human". *shrug* o_O

Hey guys, we'll be handling non-human species a little bit differently this time around in terms of the vetting process for eligibility, but before I go into too much detail about this, I just wanted to get your inputs on this.

Basically, what I'm looking for is for you to post what alien species (be they near-human, humanoid or other, pretty much any species from canon or Legends lore - not a fanon submission you plan to make - that isn't human) you plan on using in the RP in terms of PC characters. This is about species you are actively planning on using, not species you'd like to see. So if you plan on running any sort of non-human, please post what they are here. Thanks!
This actually concerns me. The vast majority of alien species are perfectly acceptable. I would hate to see a few bad exceptions be the reason for any changes to the eligibility of perfectly balanced species. Anyways, I only have 2 characters planned at the moment - one was Hapan, the other Human. I am considering using one of 5 races, 4 of which are established in canon (Chiss, Neimoidian, Twi'lek, Rodian) or a Rishii, for a 3rd character, but I'm trying to develop a plotline for such a character before I just up and make it on a whim.

None of these species have anything extraordinary that should disqualify them. Only the Rishii might be potentially disqualified because it can fly, but really that'd probably kill it more often than not in PVP. Nor should a species' lack of representation disqualify them. There are certainly species that warrant being removed, but largely I feel most people should be rewarded for using aliens.

Er...what? I feel like you're jumping to a conclusion that noone led you to here.

I'm going to be playing a Zabrak. He is in my Sig if you needed to check him out. I am also playing an Anzat, for the life longevity being a key factor in my character!

Probably. It's late, I shouldn't be posting, my brain isn't completely hooked up.

Human, a human and maybe a Hutt.

Maybe Even a Kowakian Monkey lizard Jedi called "Korbrindath the Unifyer" who will become supreme chancellor.

*dead pan*

I'm planning on having my character be a Vahla. Long story short, they are a nomadic species who are looking for their lost homeworld and have connections with the Dark Side.

I have been thinking about doing something different than I had originally planned with my Senator. So I may end up using a Bimm.

Verpine character and an arkanian offshoot that is part Echani and possibly Sephi and half Morellian (ik its complicated, that's the point)
I'm also mulling over a third character that could be Nagai
