What are my options if I can’t finish a character right now?

You can either “drop” a pending character (have the page deleted) or move it into “storage”.

How do I get rid of (drop) a pending character?

If you would like to drop your pending character please pop over to your Private Messages and send one to Kitsufox.


What form should I used to create a character?

This depends entirely on what sort of character you are creating.

If you read carefully on the Character Creation Page under the tab that applies to the type of player that you are making, you will find out what your options are and be able to tell which of the forms you should be using.


What are the expectations for character quality?

Our Expectations for Character Quality are outlined on This page. You can see that they are not unreasonable, and if you are a moderate writer you should be able to meet them with little trouble.


How can you have quality requirements and length minimums and still consider the game “Free-for-all”?

We’re free-for-all, but we have requirements because we believe that labels like “Literate” or “Advanced” are inappropriate for a game and put up walls that prevent new players from being exposed to RPers of higher levels who can inspire them to growth as writers and role players. In taking on a free for all point of view in which we refuse players access to our game only if they refuse to learn or work to reach our minimum standards if they are above that users’ current level so that no user will be turned away simply because they lack practice or experience.


Why can’t I list a cat as a mate? I can only get them to show up as “mated with”!

Amongst the clan cats we simply don’t acknowledge “Mates” because there is no formal recognition and thus no formal way to have “my mate”. You may wish to view the Clan Mates & Mating Traditions Documentation for full details.

Where non-clan cats are concerned the “Mated with” was selected over “mates” to allow for listing of cats even when commitments are not implied by the mating. It is expected that the history of the character will be used to reveal whether or not the cats mated with are bonded or not.


How do I change the group my character belongs to?

Assuming that your character’s group change is backed up by RP, you can alter your character’s group by scrolling down to the bottom of the character sheet and clicking the words “Full Edit”. Unlike the normal form you get by clicking the word “Edit”, this form grants access to all options, including options for every group in the game. You’ll just edit as needed here, and then save the page again.
