So, I have been thinking over the suggestions so far. I didn't realise how much the idea of giants appealed to me until LG put the link. I think I would like to choose an altered version of the 3 m tall Gigantopithecus blacki. I would make them have less hair - more like humans (as biology seems to suggest a loss of hair somehow accompanies the growth of intelligence). However, their huge bodies would easily make them the most desired construction workers on the planet. I would think that a lot of the race would be associated with engineering - just look at them lol.

Race two is still pretty undecided, however I think I might be having ideas forming im my mind. As Crim is an obvious fan of hobbits, it would be illogical not to have a race inspired from them. I would ass some aspects of what Bf suggested to them, such as a mythology similar to the druids. If I am correct, hobbits aren't that tall so they might be more like the Pamaj. Although they don't die in teperatures above roughly 16 degrees (celcius). I'm British, so I tend to use celcius, lol. But hobbits being warlike does seem a stretch. I might actually think about making them telepathic, although speech is a big factor for sciedient species I would think.

I have been thinking as to what Local suggested. Even though I would not be going over a maximum of 1.2G - found on the planet Greenland, the large size I plan to change it into would be perfect for them.

Folks, kepp you ideas coming and please tell me what you think about my ideas so far!
