A Species can become more than just a description; it can become a character package deal -- a pre-assembled set of Fortes (and Foibles, in some cases) for use in generating characters. In other words, a Species can be created as a type of Meta-Forte, and would follow the same rules as all other Meta-Fortes.

Since all Meta-Fortes must be approved by the Game Master, here are some Species-as-Meta-Forte templates that have already been created.
