Well I guess this should also go elsewhere but I have maps ready for a mod warcraft/eragon themed world that would need characters made. Now this is only if we do multiple world universe but a small checklist for characters would include.
-Humans
-Dwarves
-High Elves
-Wood Elves
-Dark Elves
-Trolls (Small and Blue)
-Orcs (Large and Green/Red)
-Half-Ogres
-Undead
-Felis (Half Cat Elves)
-Gnomes
-Metars (Half Beast Humans)
I don't have an amazing amount of expirience in character building and would like to work with someone on making templates for these races. Now this all depends on whether we will except my little world for a section of the guild forum.

alright, I can understand the removal of the AC bonus against giants, as it comes from special training, but versus goblins and orc , who they have an intense hatred for, comes from instinct, even dwarven merchants have been known to get into a fury when it comes to goblins and orcs((Then again what dwarf hasn't been known to do that in any battle....))I don't want you to change it, I just would like you to shed a little light on how you considered that an okay loss.

If there is anyone else that feels that the +1 bonus should be kept, that'd be okay.
The main issue is that these are simply template ideas. I can change them at any time, and if people don't like them I'm fine with it. It's a guild effort, after all. I removed the attack bonus because I felt that dwarves of this template would be just completely anti-social (or at least, just gruff towards everybody). As such, they wouldn't particularly care about one race or the other.
However, as I said, if anyone else seconds the motion to reinstate the racial attack bonus against orcs and goblins, I'll throw it back in there.
Edit: Hehe, I didn't even notice your post about the dwarves fighting the orcs and goblins. Keep in mind that this is a template, and is, as such, entirely optional. In fact, I plan on developing multiple racial templates for each of the basic races. However, remember that we may only use the regional feats and save the templates for when we want to use them.

I know..I just kinda thought it was a little weird....but I'm really fine with it, there are other ways you could explain it going away

Human Template
Chaos Touched
Lose Racial Bonus Feat
Gain the [Chaos] subtype
+1 to Dex, +1 to Cha
-1 to Con, -1 to Wis
3/day, May apply the [Chaos] subtype to a damage spell. Half the damage is [Chaos].
Shifting Form- Twice per day, the human shifts to a different humanoid form and accrues all stat bonuses and penalties associated with it (note: only LA 0 races). This cannot be controlled, and template bonuses and penalties remain the same. This change dissorients the character for 5 minutes.

A few notes on some of your templates for you Manijin:
Elven: I can see your intentions with giving elves a 10' blindsight and removing their eyes, but this is a drastic change to a LA 0 race. A lack of eyesight in exchange for blindsight has been the realm of the Grimlock, which has a +2 LA. You could, perhaps, do a modified version of a grimlock to meet your idea, but it seems to me that trying to change elves in such a sudden manner is ill-considered.
Dwarven Template: I have not examined this thoroughly, but the concept is different enough from Durgar to work.
Chaos Touched: I think I understand what you are trying to do with this race, but I would make the following ammendments to this race:
1) Remove the loss of a racial bonus feat
2) Make Humans lose their bonus skill
3) Your stat bonuses are balanced, but awkward. There are reasons that stat bonuses have been placed in +2, because this means that a player can't manipulate their 11's, 13's, 15's, and 17's to give them deceptively higher ability scores than they ought. I would consider a +2 to dexterity and a -2 to wisdom, but it's your choice. My reasoning is that being chaotic makes a creature more limber, but the strain on the mind is greater.
4) Remove the 3/day half-chaos damage. This benefit is useful only to spellcasters, and so primes the race in that direction. If you do intend to keep it, however, you should bring back the loss of a bonus feat, and reword it as follows "3/day a Chaos Touched Human may apply the [Chaos] subtype to a spell. If this spell deals damage, half that damage is considered divine damage, and is not preventable."
5) Shifting Form- A good idea, reminiscient of a doppleganger or shifter. I would recomend that you change the wording thusly:
"1/day a Chaos Touched human may shift, as a supernatural ability, to a different humanoid form, accruing the average physical stats of that race. A Choas Touched Human can remain in this new form for up to 24 hours, or until it changes to a new form or reverts to its original form. The form to be chosen cannot exceed one hit dice. This ability is otherwise identical to an Alter Self spell."
This changes the ability slightly, but makes it more workable with the 3.5 system. Since only 1 hit dice humanoids have a LA of +0, your requirement is still upheld.

I think this is a little over +0 there's a +2 physical bonus and a +2 A.C. without penalties, and I'm unsure if natural attacks add to the l.a. or not, but I'm not an expert and I'm sure there's someone else who knows more about this than me and will probably correct me.

Spells cast in this state are considered "minimized" (cast at half caster level) Cleric Only: +2 bonus to Will saves, additional +2 to resist Enchantment spells Wow, the sorceror one is hacked. completely broken, you could just use non numeric spells for those slots and minimize is canceled out, plus you throw is th charisma bonus and like a cloak or something and you've got an extra 20-30 spells a day at higher levels. the cleric one seems underpowered compared to the others...but it's the closest to balanced I can see.....
