Two easily-readable paragraphs, tops. Concise is fine. The goals of a species article are to make it easy for players to understand what your species is, how they fit into the roleplay, and how to make a member of the species if they so desire. To be successful, your article will need to strike a balance between being short enough to be easy to read, while having enough detail to allow someone making a character to have all the information they need. If you can find a way to re-phrase something long into a single sentence without losing important details, you probably should. Clarity is key. :) ===== History ===== Required. What events led the species to where they are today? A full history is not necessary, but please include enough to give players an idea of how their characters may have come into the universe. ===== Evolution/Creation ===== Optional.
