Seems fine, the teleportation thing is interesting, but the flavor doesn't really draw me into the race.

Pretty much like Eiji, the dead links are a bit annoying though.

Teleport at will?[edit]

For a LA 0 race? Really? Really? --Leziad 10:12, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Since it's improved so, I put on OldRating markers since it IS pretty different now. -- Eiji-kun 12:22, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, it's a +1 now. Halian (talk) 03:26, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
