Character Species
A species is a container for one or more template characters, each of which contains a default body, mind, and soul for the type of creature represented. When a character is created, the player picks from a list of species which is built based on the immortal statistics of the player's spirit. Higher statistics allow a greater range of species to be played, until finally, as an fully-aspected immortal, one may choose to play any species at all.
Species are distinct from, but contain associations with, cultures.
Choosing a first character's species
New players could be given a questionnaire which determines their initial immortal statistics, increasing one or two so that the choice of species to play is more diverse.
