Shut them down, cut off their funding, arrest them, whatever. Just remember to tell the cops that you're special. (and flash your false CIA ID, of course.)

	~~==Races==~~

	~~This is a list of the many major races in the world. This list is by no way complete, and there are certainly races we don't know about.~~

	Most Others tend to stand upright. Most have two arms, two legs, and one head. These types find it easy to blend in with Humans. Less "traditional" forms usually stay out of the city, bringing a G-Pod with them when they need to visit urban areas.

	~~===Humans===~~

	~~Humans are the majority race on this planet. Relatively short lifespans and an amazingly fast learning curve allow them to learn a flurry of techniques and practices.~~

	Humans are also very capable at altering history. A single human's potential is stronger than almost all Others. Add their vast number and they have the single biggest impact on history. Many major events have involved mass human historic influence at some point.

	~~Luckily, most humans are unaware of their powers, and don't know of their potential. Let's keep it that way until they are ready to accept Others, alright?~~

	~~===Fate Weavers===~~

	~~Fate Weavers are the only race to have more history-changing properties than humans. Many of them have decided not to, however.~~

	Fate Weavers can locally alter an area's outcome. The stronger they are, the larger an area they can affect. We have ways of tracking alterations, mind you, but we'd rather not have things affected in the first place. If you ever feel that things are a bit different, please come to TOA HQ and we'll see what we can do.

	Most Fate Weavers have agreed not to tamper with history; heck, some even work with us to hunt those who do alter history. Why do they do this? I don't know. Many have moral beliefs about altering someone's future. Some are religious, and it goes against their code. And some talk about an alternate history here or there that had disastrous results and yadda yadda yadda, I just smile and nod. The point is: they don't alter history, that's good.

	~~===Drakk===~~

	~~These fellas are strong, scaled, and have superiority complexes. For those who believe in dragons, this is it.~~

	Many Drakks feel they are the strongest and therefore best race. Even the kindest and most reserved of the Drakks can't help but feel ''they'' could have done something better. Geez, just put up with it OK?

	Most of them aren't as big as a barn, though. But they do have a tail that most humans won't understand. Yeah yeah, they breath different elements. Fire's a classic, some spit thunder, others acid. Rumors say there are a few who can shoot alpha waves, fungal spores, napalm and petrification.

	~~===Qi-zan===~~
	~~[[Image:TOAQiZan.png\|right\|thumbnail\|Example Qi-Zan]]~~
	~~Qi-zan are acrobatic light-level psychics. Not too many Others have mental prowess, so they make good interrogators. It's quite a responsibility though, so most Qi-zan practice restraint.~~

	They are thin humanoids with short fur, a tail (like a monkey's) and a stinger on their head. The tail is strong enough for them to hang off of pipes and controlled enough that they can use it like another hand. The stinger isn't terribly offensive, mainly used for ahem mating rituals and the like.

	Their real strength comes from their mental powers. As young children they can innately read surface thoughts. Most adult Qi-zan can force people to perceive them differently, like a good friend, or a member of another race. A lot of this is subconsciously done, mind you, and often on accident.

	Because so few races have resistance to this, Qi-zan tend to interrupt people by mind reading what they're going to say. Some force people to talk by looking like an old friend, a lost love, or a bitter enemy. Some feel terribly guilty about this type of invasion. Expect a lot of restraint and guilt from Qi-zan you talk to.

	Qi-Zan talks become awkward if they can't "read" others. Phone and e-mail conversations don't go well with 'em. Companies are trying to get "new and improved" communication, but don't expect marketing to figure it out anytime soon.

	~~===Nu'mair===~~

	~~Nu'mair are creatures of pure elements. It is said they are responsible for weather anomalies and the like. There are Nu'mair of the rain, mud, wind, thunder, even some of magma.~~

	~~Large urbanization and technology worries them. They tend to stay far far away from cities and detest intrusion. Some are prone to attack invaders. Just give 'em a wide berth.~~
