Here's another scenario! You're roleplaying in public and people... Seem reluctant to click on your biography. Whilst it's easy to work out what species a realistic character is, a blue wolf, for example, might not be as immediately apparent. If your markings and colours differ from the norm, it could be confusing!
Take my hyena, Nakaru, for example. Being semi-realistic, he doesn't really
look like a typical hyena- especially given that I don't use FH's designated hyena markings. This seems to confuse people. Frequently. Almost every interaction I've had with strangers revolves around them asking me if he's a wolf, despite the fact that his biography is at the character limit.
After weeks of frustrating roleplay entirely revolving around people trying to work out what my character is, there's one little thing that completely removes the problem entirely...
The M's a bit redundant, I'll admit. While I do prefer names without tags, whether group or species, sometimes it makes things a little easier for the more inexperienced roleplayers around; it lets them know immediately what they're interacting with and saves the hassle of the inevitable and awkward "uhm what are you?". It's just my own opinion, though!
