So I don't know if this is exactly an appropriate place to put this, but it is a suggestion so I'm gonna put it here.

So for a while there's been talk of a fish race. Almost everyone's been clamoring for it, although we know it likely won't come in the nearby future. I myself also want a fish race, whether it be Selachii or something Dev himself makes, or... Whatever. But there's a bit of a problem with everyone's discussion of it. I don't really get listened to a lot when I mention this, so here's why this post exists.
People want the race to be entirely based around Axolotls. This is a bad idea.

The concept isn't bad and when I say that I don't mean that the race'll be OP or anything, but the issue will be with character creation.

I know these are pleb territory since I just googled generic terms, but my point stands.
And when I mentioned this last time in OOC someone mentioned Mudkips for playbys (hence topic name). All I have to say, really... Do you really want 50 mudkip gijinkas running around?
There is little to know portrait material for those who like to have portraits as close to their actual characters (I.E., people who would rather have a picture with a fox tail/ears for their Redtail instead of a human with a part of the profile that says they're there.) and most of the decent-ish results go into semi-furry territory. Aliening people who can't draw (nor possibly photoshop) out of a portrait. But to my suggestion...
If we're really going to add a fish race someday, can we make them like Eternia does (as much as I hate saying that) and have one race with multiple subsections? I feel like it would be smarter to have one section of the race based on Axolotls, then maybe one for Sharks, Normal Fish (maybe these would be the most common?), or maybe even Walruses if we wanna generalize it down to just sea-faring animals. It'll take a bit more icons to be added to the racial selection (which really isn't an issue to code since we have the tail and horn variations) which I'm sure we could find someone to sprite if Dev doesn't want to.

I just wanted to have this out here, maybe for reference or see if there's something better we can do... I just remember that the best place to post stuff like this is the forums. So I'm doing it.
