Is there anything we should know about your decision before we start making characters of different species? Or will the decision not necessarily affect whether or not they can be played?

Sorry if this has already beeen brought up, but what is the policy on hybrids? IE a characters whose parents were of two different races?

I've gotten some sudden inspiration and wanted to know what the policy would be.

I read through the rules and they're allowed so long as they are roleayed appropriately as a character trait rather than an intentional advantage maker and the product isn't ridiculous or an obvious power play (example: A Wookie crossed with a trandosian who has pureblood Sith lineage. It's obvious that that would just be someone wanting a plethora of natural advantages.)

Or.. I might make a Wookiee instead of a Selkath, I'm not sure.

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.
To modify, I'm considering using the same idea, but creating my own species as well.

Although, I might just make my Jedi a Korunnai.

I'm looking at playing a Zabrak and an Anzat. I don't really know about who I'll play for my third character if I have one.

I have a strong urge to make a Shistavanen, although I think this might already be a canon species? Jic tho

Okay, so I went through all the ones listed and gave some notes on certain species where a few minor things need to be tweaked. As expected, there's not much that needed to be changed, but there's a few outlying abilities that need to be curbed and kept in mind for the RP. If there aren't any notes, there shouldn't be any stipulations on a species' innate abilities - however, if you're unsure, then feel free to double check it with a staff member.

Reviewed species so far:
Annoo-dat Prime
Anomid
Anzat
Arkanian
Arkanian Offshoot
Atoan
Barabel (Nerfnote: Limited resistance to stun blasts instead of outright immunity)
Bimm
Cathar
Chiss
Codru-ji
Columi
Dashade (Nerfnote: Only limited resistance to indirect Force Powers)
Dathomiri
Devaronian
Draethos
Echani
Energy Vampire (Nerfnote: Cannot convert PCs to zombies)
Epicanthix (Nerfnote: Only limited resistance to mental Force Powers)
Falleen
Farghul
Feeorin
Givin
Gungan
Hapan
Hutt
Iktotchi
Jawa
Kage
Kel Dor
Kiffar
Korunnai
Lorrdian
Lurmen
Mirialan
Morellian
Mustafarian
Nagai
Nautolan
Neti
Pantoran
Pau'an
Rattataki
Red Sith
Selkath
Sephi
Shistavanen
S'kytri
Theelin
Togrutan
Twi'lek
Umbaran
Vahla
Verpine (Nerfnote: Lack the blaster/blade resistant natural armor)
Wookiee
Ysanna
Zabrak
Zelosian
Zeltron
Zygerrian


And to anyone joining the party late - if the species you want isn't on this list, then please post the species below (and if you're feeling extra charitable a link to the wookieepedia article would help a lot) and it'll get reviewed for viability in the RP. Thanks!
