I dont think the Ancients are aliens. In fact I think they are probably this worlds version of "Humans" (as in they were the original sapient lifeforms of the World). They created the "lesser beings" (humans, elves, dwarves, goblins, orcs, ogres, giants ect...) in their experimental pursuit for immortality (this actually explains why these races can interbreed with each other beyond just "fantasy/magic" rules). Also he said they "disappeared" not that they "left" which has me beleive that something went VERY WRONG in their experiments & like most precursor races in most setting are probably all non-existent now.What if an alien will be included as 1 of the monstergirls who'll become 1 of the mc's fuckbuddies? She'll probably be a member of the ancients as LOCO mentioned that they left after doing their failed experiments & seeing that LOCO's a hi-tech computer that runs on crystals which function as batteries
Personally I like the slightly Sci-Fi/magitek vibe going on with them. I have often said that magic is just highly advanced science we're yet to understand. Example: Erevi says it's a "Rod of Duplication", while LOCO gives it some sci-fi sounding jargon name (I forget right this second) & if you think about it a AI is just another form of Construct. But I think if he does add an Ancient, & it does look like an Alien... it might be TOO Sci-Fi for this fantasy game. I dunno I could be wrong but might feel out of place.
