Holy hole in a donut Batman, it's a GAME where you can CREATE your character freely no matter how sparkly un-realistic or brownie realistic, it's a game where you can create your character however you like.
Indeed I disagree with the unrealistic characters since some 25% of them could be power-players, but as a realistic character, we can't make it all the way realistic like a Gray Wolf, like we must rely on pictures and free preset textures(I recommend RainOfBl00d on DA, sadly however some of his preset textures and such are priced with DA points), but have you see the realism requirements of a certain RP group?
Lets say an Warriors RP group is advertised and they say there Literate and Realistic, then a semi-realistic bicolor tabby comes alone and asks to join, ether if that group wants and RP sample or not, let's say that tabby is a literate Role-player, however the leader of the Warrirors RP rejects the tabby, saying he or she is not real enough, long story short the tabby seems to ether decide to sadly walk away or burst like Vesuvius and call them unfair.
Trust me I was rejected some times, when I was gonna use a Shiba Inu for a RP, the leader requested a RP sample, I sent it in but the leader told me that I'm not literate enough, but I didn't go kaboom like the tabby, I just had to understand and walk away.
Any who I see colorful creatures run around Bonfire, lag-fire or whatever the heck you kids call it, no not the troll-like neon TLK ones, I meant let's say... a horse, I seen unrealistic horses around Bonfire, but since this game only has feline and canine models(Here's a reminder you all know, Kovu left to work on his Facebook game he just recently released, and without the source code, nothing can be changed, except chat channels and such, but for the moderator's sakes, DON'T talk about General!) the person who want's to create a character that's like a horse or a deer and such had to rely on pictures it seems.
Speaking of which the person may have to rely on some markings made from the folks of FH(Mostly the recent version of Mass Markings, but I'm not gonna post a link to it, gonna have to search the forums yo), and that person may require some fan-made markings to prevent seeing those puffy marshmallows.
Creativity and skills are not alone on FH, those two things are also on sites such as DeviantArt, Fur Affinity, etc etc everywhere, however sometimes those newbie people seem to slowly or quickly step up the stairs of skills and seem to go from un-realistic power-player, to a realistic Stephen King book literate.
I indeed too have some skills in creating my characters, but even if we're rejected for being to neon, we must RP even if we can't get into one and/or can't seem to get anymore realistic.
