Alternative Playable Races
As it's probably clear, there are other things in this world that aren't exactly human. While some of these different races are hostile towards demigods, some live in peace with them and even a few attend or work at the school. For now the different races available for members to play will be limited to three and expanded upon number of members and interest in playing these sort of species. As of now the three Available races are:
Satyr
The half goat species that are believed to be descendants of the god Pan. While normally sporting their horns and furry torsos on campus grounds, through the use of magic their true form is obscured from normal humans' eyes. Although they still need to do their part in covering it up, because sometimes the magic can wane. Many Satyrs act as workers at the schools, especially with tending to the grounds.

Cons:
Centaur
The half horse species with the upper torso of a human and the lower torso of a horse. In order to go about the human world, they are given enchanted items and clothing in order to hide or transform their lower half into that of a regular human's. Otherwise they can walk about the campus as seen fit. Many Centaurs act as guards for the school, patrolling it's borders for hostile monsters attempting to get in.
Pros:
Extremely swift in their natural form
Thicker skin and higher pain tolerance/endurance
Natural communication with animals
Cons:
Typical aggressive behavior (Especially with drink in them for the "angry drunks")
Can catch animal related diseases
Heavy magic required for them to go out into the human world
Higher than typical vulnerability to alcoholic dependency
Typically has difficulty adjusting to two legs instead of four initially

Nymphs
Female deities of different natural landmarks and locations. There are many different types of nymphs depending out what they are connected to. Nymphs already have a very humanoid appearance and generally don't need much magic (if any at all) to mask they're true form other than occasionally needing to change their skin tone. Many Nymphs work alongside the Satyrs in tending to the grounds around the campuses should they work with the school.
Pros:
Control over nature (Make plants grow and move, etc.)
Particular mastery over controlling the element they're connected with (Ex Naiads with water, Dryads with nature, etc.)
Natural communication with animals
Long lifespan (Not immortal but very long-lived)
Cons:
More fragile than a normal human
Can be killed if the location/landmark they are connected to is destroyed
Distance from location/landmark they are connected to makes them more vulnerable

As such these are the current alternative races available. PBs for these races would still have to be living people (No artwork). These characters are also able to attend the school and can be demigods themselves because, let's face it, Zeus can't keep it in his pants anyways.[/div]
