I guess having no other species to compete with means that you guys just get to think really, really, really hard about being human.
[ But -- finally! A list! He loves it! ]
Okay, let me get this straight. That first list of species, those are all sentient species that are native to your world, but rare? Or are they extraterrestrial species that came to Earth? If they're aliens, then why did they come to Earth? A couple people have mentioned invasions of a kind. And then these meta-humans of yours, do they self-define as human or non-human? That point's been a mixed bag.
It's a pretty potent curse. [ It's not technically a curse, but he's not sure how safe he feels elaborating. ] It's theologically-based, I guess I'd say. You don't get much stronger on the material plane.
