Hey! New member with a species question! Not sure who to ask but since you're labeled the fun killing admin I figured you'd be the best pick at the moment. Love the title by the way!
Any who the race I want to play as is known as a Shard. Their not in the list of characters that are allowed but they aren't in the forbidden list either, so I'm wondering if they should be allowed or not. There are actually several reasons why they shouldn't be allowed but I thought I'd check first.

Basically they are sentient crystals that capable of using droids as bodies, as long as those droids have been modified to do so. This in and of itself could cause a problem because in a battle that results in the Shard's droid body being destroyed the Shard could survive thus allowing a player to be immortal in a way, but stuck since they would be unable to place themselves in a new droid body without help. This could be avoided by simply saying that the destruction of the droid body also results in the death of the Shard.
Another thing to consider is that there have been a small handful of Shards that are force sensitive. Should this be allowed at all since if it is you could have some really crazy moments, such as an HK-50 using a lightsaber and the Force. However it could result in a lot of insteresting rp threads considering that an inorganic object using the Force is in direct contradiction to what both the Sith and the Jedi believe possible with the living Force and thus shouldn't exist.
However the final problem with the Shards is that they weren't discovered until the Galactic Republic just before the Clone Wars began. So technically in your site's time period they haven't been found yet. HOWEVER they were part of the expanded universe that has been declared no longer canon so we could bend the rules and say that they were discovered recently.
So... yeah... would I be allowed to play as a Shard or not really?
Another question is are we allowed to invent a new race altogether? My guess is the answer is no but I thought I'd ask.
