I wish you the best in searching for a new, better job Emo. I almost got fired from mine yesterday, when I opened a dryer door when it was blasting embers (embers were gushing out underneath the door frame), but the fans inside were still on, so the 200 pound steel door flung open, hot air blowing out constantly, hurling embers in a twelve-foot square radius outwards constantly. I tried closing the door, but the air blew so strongly it took me and two other guys perhaps ten seconds of pushing to shut and then turn the hinges closed.
Basically, I could have released a fireball, which in industrial terms, is a contained mass of open flames swirling, which upon release will flow out at over 400 degrees Celsius/750 Fahrenheit.
So ya, sleep deprivation for six years, and rashness and willingness to constantly jump into problems without waiting, nearly got me and half the plant killed, but god damn, it was so fun, breathing red-hot coals, embers flying like crazy everywhere, and feeling the hot air flowing through me, and literally hearing fire roaring at the other side of about four inches thick of a steel frame, well, it was absolutely awesome. After that, every time I took a breath, the scent of charcoal was always in my mouth, nose and throat.
Won't be pulling open doors anymore!
What a way to have been fired, by being fired, literally.

... You know, I think you would have had a simpler time if you had tried convincing Emo that a race of elegant humanoids with long ears and a superiority complex (aka. elves) managed to evolve on the planet Aria-69, and that they could coincidentally mate with similar species for whatever reason. Or maybe one had deformed ears, is a loli and simply thought they were a 12 year old human after getting knocked on the head (a nice deconstruction from the usual "Annie" clone). As for explaining the Nature and Fire magic, you could explain they are related to the sacred gadgets of your people (or just blame dark matter like everyone else).
... Cause, lets face it, nobody wants to see a human mixed with a space slug.
That does bring up an interesting point though. At a base level, how similar are the species of the iTV cosmos? Could they have evolved on Earth under the right circumstances, or are we taking it to the "Mass Effect" extreme where some species are so physiologically different at the base level that simply ingesting another species (or their food) is potentially enough to cause fatal allergic reactions?

I see what you did there, and this definitely deserves praise.

Did Annie try to recreate her character from TLK? Because the minute she mentioned the word "Elves" ingame via Private Chat, I immediately became suspicious.
Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

If we look at things from the perspective of the Ancient Astronaut Theory, Aliens whom we mistook as "gods" could have conceivably come to Earth and mated with human women. However, accepting that as a fact for this cosmos would create a plothole for how the Ikrians and the Slorians met the humans, because remember that I said that the Ikrians eat members of sentient races whom they discover for a snack upon first contact, And I mentioned the humans were no exception to this.
This leads me to come up with a (super convenient) explanation- The Ikrians have the ability to mate with any species, though the offspring usually dies because the mother of the offspring dies in early pregnancy. Where such rare births, such as these are successful, the offspring assumes the appearance of the female Ikrian, and the male parent leaves no physical DNA imprint, though genetically they would be related. Such a birth would be controversial during this time, because the Ikrians are at war with the Humans, the Slorians, and the Flugians.
