No, I already mentioned I'm not using anything anybody submits here, so don't worry about that. It's just the pre-posted things that are part of my universe. If I ever stole anything from anyone I wouldn't blame you for coming at me with an ax.

Dylan: *Plays with a toy train on the ground* Vroom, vroom.

When my mind + 'Creepy Creeper':
All joking aside improv RPs are the best, I'll probably throw in a few characters. And/or just be myself.

Here's hoping that we can help see your novel to completion. And skinwalkers are generally the worst perpetrators of human mimicry, if only because they can either do a pitch perfect imitation, or distort the speech patterns in some truly horrifying ways
That's something that's part of my story. It's peculiar to certain individuals and one of my established characters with that ability travels the world and ends up learning a dozen or so human languages. I certainly wouldn't be opposed if someone wanted to include that aspect to their character; there's a lot more about the individual races I could write (like the Selkies having their own distinct culture, they have a sort of loose social hierarchy with lots of vaguely defined 'princes' like you might find in a herd of seals) but I figure I ought to keep things simple since it's a free RP. I'm not going to enforce the rules of my universe much beyond what I've already defined, since I want this to be fun and all.
Badass. =D
Also might be worth looking into...all of my races are based on the novel I'm writing, so I'm always looking to add new things. I have an African character (one of the Dragons), but not really any based on mythical creatures from there. The RP is an experiment to see how my universe works in motion, and also because I like to see people's creativity at work. I won't be using anyone's submitted ideas in my writing, of course, but it does add some intrigue beyond the normal 'mythical creatures blah blah' because this is a universe where anything and everything has the potential to exist.
The penchant for mimicking speech is an interesting reoccurring ability. Werewolves and Skinwalkers have both also been said to do that, I assume because it taps into a primal fear.

That's one I've never heard of.
Dorian was sitting on the stairway of the small cottage he'd taken up residence in, absent-mindedly crunching a bright red apple. He wasn't really paying much attention to what was going on around him, daydreaming about Acantha and the possibility that his family might at last have a safe place to live. It was a shame that his daughter might have to grow up apart from her native race, but he was glad at least that there where other children around.
Sounds fun.
Name: Dorian, also answers to '-17'
Age: 195, physically 30
Gender: Male
Appearance: A very tall, lanky man with purple eyes and a thin scruff curly of brown-black hair on the top of his head. Since he doesn't have a lot of obvious muscle mass, his build makes him look like someone put a flamingo in a taffy pull. He has a long purple scarf around his neck with diamond shapes cut into the ends. Other then that he dresses very simply, usually with an orange t-shirt and blue jeans. The most striking thing about him is the numerous healing wounds and cuts on his arms and face, a multitude of self-inflicted scars.
Race: A 'Zero Entity' - The story of his race is that a mothering being brought together leftover matter from the creation of universe and crafted it into lifeforms. They're a very eclectic bunch and don't have much in common besides being humanoid, sharing an origin and having long lifespans. In his case, his scarf is tied directly to his life force, and he loses his usually innate invulnerability without it. Otherwise, despite not being terribly strong, he can take a ton of damage and recover from it, although he can still be injured and even possibly be killed. A double-edged sword is the ability to draw power from the life-energy in his own blood to teleport within visual distance and gain a temporary boost in speed/strength. This can incapacitate him if he's forced to use it too much and he must already be bleeding to access it.
Hobbies: Experimenting with his blood magic, sewing, reading.
Backstory: In his races' once-isolated home, he had a beloved partner and a young daughter and generally lived a peaceful and comfortable life. Dorian was forced to leave his people's land after large areas of the forest they relied on for survival where destroyed by people opposed to supernatural creatures and the populace was scattered. He left behind his family in a safe place and set off in search of new place for them to live, planning on seeking them out once he'd found them a new home. Once he reached Acantha he thought he'd discovered the perfect place to bring them, but now he's entirely unsure with all of the tension that has started brewing.
Preferred Weapon: Carries small knifes, but these are usually used on himself to draw blood before a fight rather then to directly attack enemies.
Extra: He's biologically a vegetarian and really loves apples.

Agreed, that's definitely urban legend territory, especially since you mentioned Sirens- my Selkies have some Siren influence and they're covered under that catagory.
D= That was amazing. I might just add that to the front page, you explained it better then I could but yet that's right on the mark.
