Game Discussion / Uncommon Species
« on: August 21, 2014, 06:57:40 pm »With all the beautiful animals in this world, it would be near impossible to roleplay them all. However, some animals deserve a bit more recognition, don't you think? It's not that I want EVERY species to be known by everyone, but there are some interesting species that I think would make good roleplays in this game...
~The Maned Wolf~
Probably the most popular animal to roleplay on Feralheart would have to be the wolf... or just canines in general. You'll see arctic wolves, timber wolves, all kinds of foxes and dogs. The maned wolf, (even though it's not a true wolf, and has it's own genus, similarly to the cheetah) is one that most people have never even heard of. I think it would be fun to set up a few roleplays for it... I mean, look at that BEAUTIFUL fur... and those legs! Another reason this floofy critter deserves recognition is it's similarity to other canines. When I was walking around on my maned wolf, Mela, some annoying realism-natzi runs up to me and starts bashing my character, saying "FOXES AREN'T THAT TALL, YOU UNREALISTIC NOOB! STOP MAKING UP FAKE NEW SPECIES!" (something along those lines). I'm not going to rant, don't worry.
~Aardwolves~
Now, we've all seen hyenas at bonfire, correct? Most of them are the well-known spotted hyena, but there are a few stripey ones too. Chances are, no one knows what this cute floof is: the Aardwolf. I once saw an aardwolf get criticized for being a "fake gray TLK hyena" as well as "Too small to be a realistic adult." If people love roleplaying as oher hyenas, why not give this little critter a chance in the spotlight? Just look at that widdle face!
~Servals~
I've seen all kinds of cats around FH... lions, tigers, lynx, bobcats, cougars, you name it! One I've never seen is the serval. These guys are one of the cutest wild cats (in my opinion, at least) and have very interesting behavior. I'm currently trying to figure out a good character design for one, and I can't wait to rp as it when it's finished. Look at those big ears! SQUEEE!
Well, that's all for me. What species do YOU think deserve more recognition?
