Talk:17 World's Races/@comment-3387274-20160603184046/@comment-4080028-20160615171612

I had said using a character's name and appearance is fine, but this is different. These are races and must be given a different approach from how we inspect characters. Likewise, while this wiki does allow you to be more relaxed with what you choose to create, it still has its limits. For example, we must still keep our pages and stories within the bounds of One Piece's setting. The minute we start writing something like Fairy Tail or Nanatsu no Taizai is when we've taken our freedom here a bit too far.

Likewise, I have to agree that it seems odd cyborgs would be considered a race, as races are usually a group of people who've evolved over time to develop different minds, bodies, cultures and so on. Cyborgs are more of a man-made thing; literally inserting ,machines into a natural, living body, thus becoming half organic being and half inorganic machine. While I have no problem being a tad creative and allowing cyborgs to be considred a race of sorts (or more like some kind of community or culture of cyborg beings,) the fact that they'd be called a race pretty much flies in the fact of outright real world logic. Why I bring our world's logic up on a One Piece fanon wiki is beyond me, but still.

As for the telepaths, I can actually see that being a legitimate race. Beings who've evolved over time to develop super mental abilities. I figure if we have something like Miss Goldenweek's Colors Trap ability, which clearly wasn't stated to be a Devil Fruit power, then who knows what other bizarre powers exist in the One Piece world without being classified as a Devil Fruit power? That's essentially my excuse as to why I believe natural psychics may pop up here and there in the setting.

All in all though, I didn't really have much of a problem with this page, but since I've been brought up now, I may as well drop in and leave my thoughts on the matter.
