For version two I did come up with a few new species that I would not like to see going to waste. Well I've only come up with two new ones.
Shifting Gifted
Spirits
Shifting Gifted
The Shifting Gifted are no more human than their counter parts. They came about after a few mutations in the genetic make up of a shifter and gifted child. Curious the species was genetically altered so the mutation could be replicated easily. Creating several dozens of the things. Many of them died though; unable to withstand the early shifting process.
This process was very painful as the blue flame that covered the Shifters did not come when transforming making it painless. Though now the process has evolved a bit and is still quite painful but very fast. The record time is fifteen seconds. In that time the bones, muscles and organs shift, stretch and fuse into the shape they were to be. Also in the process the skin of the person falls off or is torn off to allow the new 'skin' to breathe. The dead shed skin merely disintegrates upon hitting the ground.
Unlike their Gifted counter part the Shifting Gifted does not have a venom problem. Simply because they would die in the process. Even the common cold has been known to kill of this species. Their immune system is below average for some reason and they die young. The known oldest being ten years old and the youngest dying a few minutes after birth. While in an animal form they can not talk though their eye color stays the same as if they were human.
They still have the weird hair and eye colors of the Gifted but are a bit more animalistic in nature like the Shifter. The blue fire helps heal them though they must be in their original human form for it to even come. Unlike the original Shifters they are born with a random animal form and can shift as young as six months. Though they can take up to five animal forms and must be in the presence of that animal to shift into it for the first time.
Not much else is known about this species.

Spirits
Spirits are like ghosts but instead of being in limbo; spirits are brought back by either accident or on purpose by a spiritual Gifted. No one can see Spirits unless they decide to be seen, even then they look as if they are transparent.
Spirits can possess people but only if they knew the person in their living life and if that person is weak minded in that moment. Depending on their strength spirits can move and touch things including people. They gain strength by basically existing; though can be removed from this earth by a spiritual Gifted.
Spirits that were crawlers are in their human form, meaning they don't have fangs. Same as shifters, they can not shift into their animal form.
