As the title says, list the races you have control over here. Include if they're an open or requested race, and feel free to add pending or future ideas as well. This is to keep track of who has what. You can provide a summary description if you want, but for longer information please make the race its own topic.
--------------
Phoenix: A subrace of the Sages, the Phoenix is a very powerful sage type and is known as the bird of life, rebirth, fire, and healing. As such they have unmatched skill in fire arts and can heal at a rapid speed as well as adapt and build an immunity to certain drugs, diseases, and such. Though this is slow and usually the Phoenix in question has to be exposed to it enough times. Just like mythology states a Phoenix will also rise from the ashes if killed to a child-like age. The only race considered truly immortal amongst the mortal races, the Phoenix is the origin of the very powerful Holy Fire, its golden flames the Phoenix's blood its self in liquid form. Most Phoenix are prideful loners and do not flock together unlike other birds unless it has them as the ruler.
(Open but limited. This means people can make ONE and only one unless they have a reason to have more. Closed to Hawkeye.)
Gryphon: A prideful, courageous, and wise subrace of the Sages. The Gryphon's take the form of large catlike and avian creatures with traits of both. They are skilled in the earth and wind arts due to their traits and have the talent of transfiguring any metal or material they touch into gold. Gryphon's are sociable creatures and usually stick to their flocks unless they prefer a quiet life to which they instead run prides. The Grphon can be a mix of any feline or avian type and as such sport ears and tails of their respective feline traits in their humanoid form, that they just can't get rid of even through magic. Illusion spells don't work, and if cut off, they grow back. Their wings however, they can hide
(Originally created by Hawkeye who gave them to me, to which I revised them. They are an Open race.)
Kitsune: Another subrace of Sages. (Only used for one character this race has not yet been detailed. However they are open.)
Unicorn: Yet, another subrace of Sages. (Only used for one character this race has not yet been detailed. However they are open.)
Aetas: A race of wishgranters. The Aetas are the origin of where all fairy, elves, and little helper type people spawn from. This is not to say that those races do not exist, but the stories where they helped (sometimes for a price), played tricks and granted wishes are from the Aetas. Typically Aetas stand 2ft tall, have pale skin, eyes of ambient colors, odd or natural hair colors and small chibi-angel wings upon their back. The Aetas can grant as many wishes as they want for people, but are not obligated to do so. It is by choice if they want to grant a wish or not if they like a person they may stick around and grant wishes. If they don't, they may forcefully twist those wishes and stalk the person, or they may just be tricksters or offer a wish to someone just to be nice.
They, however, cannot grant their own wishes. And while they can grant wishes, they cannot be scaled to the point of dimensional domination or most powerful in existence, even if the Aetas could grant such a thing, they would not. Their wishes are also usually driven by desire. If someone came to them wishing for an apple yet they were at the time craving a peach, they would get either a peach or some mixture of the two as the person wished one thing but desired another. Wishes are never how the wisher perceives. Not that the Aetas make them evil, or get them wrong on purpose, it's just the way their powers work. Say you wish for sword? You never specified what kind, and may get a sword larger than you are, or so small you can't even see it. When wishing one must be detailed, specified, and careful. Any slip of the tongue and you won't get another chance unless the Aetas in question wants to give you one. (Open to everyone but Hawkeye.)

Templars
Intergalactic defenders of TIIIIME.
Homeplanet of Inarin and the current Elder is Jay Stryder. Templars are capable of so much crap I suggest just looking them up in the Grimoire and(Eventually) the Dossier.
Closed as all fuck, if you wanna make one contact me and if you have an awesome enough idea we'll chat about it.
Fioans
The Fioans are a race of humanoids with certain bestial traits. The traits are varied and can go from anything between cat-ears to lizard skin. Fioans find themselves capable in both the fields of magic and technology, finding a perfect balance between the two.
Society wise, they are currently united under their King however he allows any Fioans to go out and make their own fortunes around the universe. They are somewhat common anywhere in the universe.
Open but ask me if it's anything really, really out there. Hawk, I hate to say this kind of crap but if you wanna make one i'd like you to contact me first.

Arrarorians
A once extinct race currently there is only one of this race in the Sp-verse that we know about, they had high technological and magical capabilities. Also they possessed healing capabilities among other things at their disposal. The race is fairly humanoid, some might say they are like the Narrikians but they are not anything like the Narrikians. This race was calm and humble and usually stuck to the shadows operating from there like the ninja of old. The magic they can use is specialized into wisdom or combat based ability, and that is what makes them different. Currently only one, Lucien Dolos exists like them in the dimension. They are much stronger and faster than normal humans and their magic adapts weapons to not break or rust or dull or shatter while in their hands. This race is closed and is more of a back story race.
----
Narrikians
Human like life forms that are capable of most of the things magic users are capable of because they can perform the magical arts. However the magic alone isn?t their only thing they have going for them because normally they would be 10 to 20 fold stronger than your average human. Also their bodies are known to regenerate faster than that of a human, even without magic at their disposal. They are immune to most truth serums and other similar drugs. Hair colors and eye colors can be anything but each of them has a strange tattoo on their arm. An open race.
Siccians
These are an evolution of the Narrikians and their magical focus is more combat oriented than peace oriented and they tend to be more aggressive and brutal. Any spell that can be used in combat for destructive purposes is one they will try to use. While they may not be as strong or fast as sages they are vastly superior to humans in that department having 50x the normal speed and strength of a human at their disposal. The tendency is for these to be more violent, brutal and cruel to other people including their friends and their family. The tattoo turns red when it is on the arm of one of these. An open race.
Zilos
The more peaceful healers of the race these specialize in the healing magicks and the like allowing them to heal others better. While they lack the magical strength for offensive type spells they can use Psi to some degree anyway if it did come to fighting. These are the inventors, the medics and the scientists among the Narrikians. They are more gentle, soft spoken and less violent than the Siccians as well however at the moment in time. Unlike them they specialize in healing and healing techniques most usually having a water or earth elemental affinity for themselves or even fire, but that is rare. The mark turns blue when it is on the arm of one of these. An open race.;
Ancient Narrikian
A rare evolution among the Narrikians those of the ancients are much stronger and more powerful magically than the normal ones or Zilos or Siccians. Their magic is not specialized, but rather is focused and sometimes they have mastery of multiple elements as well. Usually however those who are in this race can only use one form of elemental based magic, or at least choose to use only one. They have no tattoo on them, their eyes are usually a gray or darker color and their hair is any range of colors. They have the abilities of super strength, flight, speed, heat vision and also to create energy constructs out of the energy of their own body. And they can perform magic. There are two ways to become one of this race, and that is if an ancient unlocks it in you, or if you are born into this race. Also they have immunity to most biological weapons, including tranquilizers and truth serums. An open race.

Solstici
Look at the Solstici Topic in the Dossier. They're open to everyone except Hawk. Permission is not required.
Blood Dragons
A different race. Blood dragons can be any other race that contains blood in their bodies, but once the certain character realizes they are a blood dragon, they are no longer classified as the race they were before, but are then forever known as a blood dragon. They can do all sorts of things with their blood, often things like breathing inextinguishable fire or using lava or anything heat based generated from this blood. The main thing about Blood Dragons is their ZEAL and ascension forms, which are extremely powerful. This is also an open race, and permission is not required. However, if someone wants to make an already existing character a Blood Dragon, permission is required, mostly due to the fact that I have to balance the Blood Dragon abilities with the character's already existing abilities.
Novierians
Lyoko222 owns them, and Orph owns them partially. They're an ESP and a extremely skilled Martial arts race that can't really use magic, else their lifespans are shortened. They're somewhat proud, and (used to) dislike outsiders.
/me is still pissed at how Novier was taken over. Every single Novierian would have fought to the DEATH to protect their planet. None would surrender. NONE.
-
:/ Lyoko222 did it.
-
Lorcar: Closed, but if you've got a character idea for one(for whatever reason), lemme knoe and I'll consider it.
A species of giant psychic insects which attack planets not to take them over, but to instead genocide every living creature upon them in order to use the biomatter to produce more Lorcar and their DNA to create new castes of Lorcar. In actuality, they share one single spirit as a species, which 'resides' within the Brood King, Delton.
Mechera:Open, I guess.
A race of machines which are from another dimension. They were once biological, but through the course of history they abandoned their frail, short-lived human bodies for mechanical ones which allow them to live indefinately. They live in a cyberspacial network, and use these mechanized 'bodies' in order to interact with the real world. They do so by either using a virtual 'pilot consol', or by synchronizing their mind with their body. When not synchronized with their bodies, they can think faster, but they cant interact as well with the real world, and vice versa. Led by their king, Gregory Falzone.
Possessed/Cursed:Open, just lemme know before ya make one though.
Sort of a symbiotic, or in some cases parasitic, kind of subspecies. A person who is possessed is just that, possessed, but by a certain object. These objects are known as 'Cursed' because they hold within them the sealed spirit of another. The Cursed possess the person by having their own spirit latch onto that of the Host, and influence it, meaning that the Host is still aware and alive as themselves, they're just influenced by the object possessing them. The objects also grant a form of magic, because the Cursed themselves DO have magic, they simply cant do anything without a host to possess. There are a few Cursed, though, that dont just possess their host, but actually canabalize their spirit, making them both stronger and giving them total control over the body.
More later.

Dun worreh Zai, I took Novier back. :3
-
Zarethians: Open, sorta. You just have to get my approval for the request. Might wanna read the Zarethian Dossier and race requests before hand, though. The Zarethians are a humanoid species that looks almost exactly the same as humans for some odd reason. They have a wider variety of skin, eye and hair colors and are much stronger and faster. They are also all capable of using magic however, most are poor mages. They were a powerful imperialistic empire before the Lorcar attacked and devastated their empire systimatically. The Zarethians fled aboard hundreds of ships, becoming the Migrant fleet. After three hundred years of fleeing and searching for a habitable planet, the Zarethians found one via the Aralangs. Now set up on Tefillin, the Zarethians are one of the, if not the largest empire in the universe at the time of writing, holding Tefillin, Zaned, Temar, Eiden, Terragrouve and Gyrokura. They have a large alliance with the Mechera, Narrikians via proxy, Ferrarians and are in talks with the Coalition and K Empire.
-
Nekos: Ranging from cats the size of humans, with little to no human characteristics, to human like with few cat traits. They are athletic to some degree, clever and cunning. Human-like ones adapt to modern areas with technology, though some stay rather tribal. The more cat-like ones remain tribal, some "modernized aliens" would find them as freaks or amusing pawns, others as a source of ancient timing. The range is wide throughout human-to-cat evolution, so abilities differ greatly.
Dragons(Race shared with K2): Large or small reptillian creatures with a certain range in magic and power. They can be feared or honored, seen or hidden.They adapt to their habitats, evolving when needed, over time. Some will have an avian appearence, growing feathers. Others, a mammalian appearence with fur. Some have fins, etc. The range here is also very great.
Inu: The dog version of a neko. Same information as a neko.
-
Bellicus: Related to the Imbellis, they are a near-human race with elvish ears and eyes in differing shades of purples. Some females have faerie wings. The Bellicus have magic in their blood stream that can be transformed into offensive magic spells. Most of this race has left the dimensional plane. Open to request, but PM me first.
Imbellis: Physically identical to the Bellicus, the Imbellis naturally focus on defensive magic, and are much better at it then their Bellicus counterparts. A peaceful race, they too left the dimensional plane with the Bellicus. Open to request, PM me first.
Mazheek: The Mazheek are a strange folk from a different dimensional plane. They are much like sages, but they are very war like and power hungry. They have a long history of violence, and are a very passionate people. They have long lifespans and typically possess high magical power, with a knack for improvising spells. This race cannot be played without a good understanding of their past and without a good RP ability, as they are a strong race. PM me if interested.
Witch : A mysterious race, witches appear to be solely female. They methods of reproduction are unknown, and you're better off NOT knowing. Native to Autumnavia, Witches are talented, neutral magic practitioners who typically offer their various services for a price. They have great magic ability, but without training, cannot use it. This race is open to request, but the chances of a Witch not being on Autumnavia are slim.
Siren: A birdlike race of shape shifters, the Sirens cast magic using their voices, and are very hypnotic. They have three forms, full human, half human, and full bird. The half human and full bird forms are good in combat, but the full human form uses magic more easily. Open to request.
Succubus: Mischievous shape shifters, Succubi rarely assume their true form (which is quite terrifying, with awful teeth and vicious claws) and usually take the appearance of beautiful women. They have a seducing aura about them and are very good at manipulation. Their forms almost always have wings they fly with. Open to request.
Revokers: Also called Sorcerers, Revokers are servants of the Grand Revoker with magic ability. They rely mostly on learned spells, and have several branches of magic to learn from. Human in appearance, skin is typically a random shade of the color spectrum. Open to request.
Enforcers: Anthropomorphic creatures, the Enforcers learn magic through schooling and are dedicated to it. The Great Enforcer gives them life and can take it away, thus they are always loyal to him. Open to request, PM me first.
Renforcers: Renforcers can be any race infected with the Renforcer Virus, which gives them amazing new animal abilities and allows them to shapeshift through three predetermined forms, and utilize Dark Magic. Can also transform into two special, incredibly powerful forms when motivated. Weak to some metals and fire in beast forms. Open to request.
Averi: Cutest bastards in the galaxy. Until you piss them off. NPC race, feel free to use.
Owl Sages: Another subrace of Sages, these beings are incredibly talented hunters and trackers. Open to use.
Artisan Sages: Any race touched by the Herald to use the Trade Nexus. Must have my permission to make an Artisan character.
-
Races are open with my approval, unless stated otherwise.
Heliphlein:
A race of elf-like beings whose magic is completely dependent on their emotional state. They live on Utalia, a moon of the planet Helios.
Enrakni:
A race of autotrophic beings who feed on magic. They are natural pretenders, and can make themselves appear as though they are something, or someone else. They live on Utalia, and have a long history with the Heliphlein, however they have pushed out from the planet, and are scattered across the universe as well.
Vlerdok:
Better known as the Deathwalkers, they were a race of black monstrous beings that fed directly on the life force of a victim. After a great war, they were all imprisoned in their great ship, and forced to undergo a sterilization process. Closed Race.
Klaysangeelii:
A race of blue people who don't have lungs, and don't need to breath. They live...somewhere. Completely open.
Crfulbngurs:
A race of mole people who live in tunnels under the surface of Crfl, a moon of Helios.
Iapaq:
A race of tall, thin beings with heads like ammonites. They are highly intelligent cold blooded beings who live on Ipa, a moon of Helios.
Kaltulfur:
A race of large, playful, one eyed snow-cats with big ears. They live on Kaltjnheim, a moon of Helios.

Smiths*: Medium sized humanoid beings with an innate understanding of technology. They're covered in extremely durable scales, and are quite capable of shrugging off gun fire from a .50 cal machine gun. Speaking of machine guns, they also have a great love of rapid fire weaponry. They call it 'Gakka' and practically worship it. They are also very accomplished forge masters and are capable of heating their hands to the point that they can melt through most metals.
Mercers*: Large(12-15 feet) mechanical beings that have quite alot in common with biological organmisms and come from an alternate dimension where everything is mechanical. They highly value diversity to the point that no two are exactly alike. They are a fairly advanced race but most of their tech and the things they use to make it exist in their home dimension, which they cannot access. They live on Ferrari in a symbiotic relationship with the Smith.
Tindallin Hounds*: A very odd race. They are small, about two feet tall. They resemble a cross between a dog and a monkey and are rather good climbers. They are a sentient race, but the language they speak is utterly incomprehensible and they are not capable of speaking most of the languages in the Shattered Planes. They have the curious ability to travel through corners, (ie, where two walls meet, etc.) as if they were walking through a door through their own natural means, due to them existing outside of space. Only ten in existence.
*Open for use, just PM me first.
-
Magisters: A proud race both well-versed in technology and their own ability to manipulate energy, their home system is located in the Andromeda galaxy and they are known to vary in both appearance and temperament. They are very reasonable and only seek the prosperity of their empire, and they will destroy enemies down to the last child if need be.
Open; although please PM before making a Magister character.

All Open as far as I know, the deviantart group(which is updated constantly (http://races-of-acanthros.deviantart.com/journal/Race-information-298882360) gives more accurate information on looks, the topics are more accurate on functions.
Helix(DNA/mRNA): A sub-species of Dragon; they are a flightless breed with the main idea of infect and kill anything in their way. Helixes are radioactive, the 'virus' being a physical mutation from radioactive contact. (so this virus is not really an illness, lolhiro your locusts got nothing on them) http://races-of-acanthros.deviantart.com/gallery/35711573
Lizirii:A harmless overgrown dinosaur . If they do fight, they use their tails for whips and holograms to burn. They tend to be peaceful and curious, and really love ice cream. (lolwut) They have six limbs, six eyes and a proboscis tongue. http://races-of-acanthros.deviantart.com/gallery/35711567
Avian: A sub-draconic species. They have a long, slinky body and are capable of flight. Any magic involved goes for compact bursts that come out of their mouths. http://races-of-acanthros.deviantart.com/gallery/35711569
