Is there a list of official races from the game? I'm hoping something that lists the race and then examples of who from the game belonged to that race. Does such a thing exist? THis is all in research for my PM2 slot.

This would be a great idea for something to have in the GWF files (or maybe Online...)
Rather than try off the top of my head, perhaps someone with the GWF Files on hand could start us off...

Here's a few more:
Ravagers
Aurgurae (where Painmaster and Silvar are from)
Primals (Paganax et al)
Then there's the places that seem to have Earth-like humans, like Cetus and Maffei II)

Aethra Andromeda Arcturus Cynus Mensa Estorian Eridanus Maxus Titan CTA-102 Ceres Cetus Dimension X Brymstone Neptune Scorpi Omicron Pavo Primus Earth American Earth Japan Earth Canadian Earth European Earth Mexican What are you looking for specifically? Because I wouldn't count several of those you've listed as different races, many (Aethra, Maxus, Omicron, Cetus, etc.) are just different earthlike humanoids. Not necessarily a different 'race'. Some more definitely 'different' races come from the following: Corvus (Endgame) Trachis (Retribution) Ara (Terminus, others) Kroll (Master Race) |

I understand what you're saying. I guess I'm looking more "races" then "homeworlds" but I'd actually consider earth humans a different race than Aethrans. I'm just trying to either pin down something unique or seldom used for my PM slot.
I've suggested a big Master List of this kind of thing for COTGOnline.

Add Kroll, Corpulus, Orion and Sagittarius to the list.
Has it ever been established which of the planets are colony worlds?
I've always assumed that characters from the Solar System (Titan, Mars, Venus, Neptune, and so on) are actual humans, either settlers from Earth or their descendants, whereas the guys from worlds like Aethra and Maffei II are human-looking aliens.
In broad terms, you're probably looking at six categories:
Earth humans (American Guy)
Non-Earth humans (Payback)
Human-looking aliens (Encubus)
Alien-looking aliens (Epoch)
Human-looking extra-dimensionals (Valour)
Alien-looking extra-dimensionals (Endgame)

Alien-looking extra-dimensionals (Endgame) I believe it was discovered that Endgame is actually not from another dimension. |

Holy crap, I just watched Kentucky Fried Movie last night.... unreal  (in response to kaz' signature that I just noticed for the first time). and to keep the topic on track I could use a race list as well with examples of characters. |

I believe it was discovered that Endgame is actually not from another dimension. Huh. I'd assumed that the Astrals were extra-dimensional. Rereading the NB handbook, though, you're right; he's just an alien from a highly-evolved race. I've been referring to him as a Second Realmer in all my write-ups, as well. Bugger. |

Amazing Mann is also from Sagittarius. I know this because I renamed his finisher the Sagittarius Stretch when he dropped the escape artist gimmick.
You could always assume it refers to the constellation Sagittarius, which includes a whole load of stars and therefore a whole load of different planets.
Of course, the term only has meaning from an Earth perspective, but so does CTA-102. We can probably assume the alien races have their own names in their own languages.

I was under the assumption this was true anyway. More often than most, the wrestlers listed which galaxy they were from more than what planet specifically. |
