Species

Humans -- Just a regular guy in a not-so-regular world, that's you. Good examples include Clint Barton, Oliver Queen, and Roy Harper Jr.. Just because you're human doesn't mean you aren't capable and willing to play in a world of metas, it just might be a little more dangerous for you to do so.
Mutants -- Homo superior. Born with an X-Gene, you have some sort of power or ability that may or may not be useful. Sometimes you look entirely normal, but you're just as likely to look strange and unsual. (Marvel Only)
Metahumans -- You were born with or acquired some sort of superhuman power. (DC Only)
Seedlings -- You were either mutated by, or born from someone that was mutated by the passing of an unusual comet in the late 1960's. Seedlings are somewhat unique in that they usually need to be "activated" to achieve their full potential. (Wildstorm Only)
Homo Magi -- You can tap into occult and magical forces and cast spells, either on the fly or using ritual magic. Just reading a spell from a book doesn't work for everyone... but for some reason, the forces of magic will work through and for you.
Atlantean -- Each world has it's own versions of Atlanteans with slightly different abilities, flaws, and features. However, both are aquatic humanoids.
Altered Humans -- You've been injected or exposed to something, like a Super Soldier Serum or Gen Factor, or hit with radiation (like The Hulk or Doc Samson). This doesn't include Seedlings, who were exposed to comet radiation; they are considered a separate species.
Awoken Humans -- You have one power, and it may not even be a 'cool one'. If it's powerful, you may not have full control of it. If it's low level, it may not be useful very often. You're effectively a human who can do something kind of cool and the BPRD scooped you up. You are not a mutant, as the power you have is occult in nature, not natural mutation. (BPRD Only)
Century Babies -- Technically a human, but not exactly. You do not age once you reach a certain age. You embody the spirit of the century, and have an uncanny knack for being at the right place at the right time to save the world. You just might not survive the experience. (Wildstorm Only)
Olympians -- You are one of the Greek/Roman gods. (Marvel or DC only)
Asgardians -- You are from the world of Asgard, land of Norse myth and legend. (Marvel Only)
Amazons -- You are a member of a race of warrior women, including Wonder Woman.
