Okay, lions and leopards are the most commonly played animals in the game right now. Surprisingly enough, leopons are up there, too. It's no secret that all of us love ourselves some hybrids. Meanwhile, the hyenas are dying out, as are the dogs, and the jackals don't even have any players left! So... one way to maybe spice all that up is to allow for more, unnatural hybrids, such as spotted/brown/striped hyenas, dog/jackals, lion/cheetah/leopard, ect. Of course there would be restrictions. Like no hyena/lion, or leopard/caracal (sorry, Nukpani!). It'd be my hope that this would encourage you guys to play some of the less popular species, AND keep them active. My only concern is... I don't want the role play to be too unrealistic. It's already pretty unrealistic to have so many leopons, and then those leopons having babies. So I'm rather torn. So I want to know what you guys think. Also, everyone should totally go out to advertise. Bring in some fresh meat. There hasn't been a whole lot of drama outside of Clapperclaw for a while now, but I'm counting on Abeni to be a good little psycho bitch and take that drama outside of the territory here soon.

I really like the idea of more diverse hybrids, but I am a little scared we might end up with no pure species at all. Say one person wants a dog/jackal hybrid, so they make a jackal and go entice like Kojo or Zuberi to breed with them. Then they play the hybrid pup and dump the jackal character :/ I don't think anyone we currently have would do that, but newbies who don't read the rules might!
Also, I don't think lion/cheetah would work mostly because of the huge huge biological difference between them. Although if we have a breeding pair of those and the fetus matures, we could get some great drama by having an absolute freakshow be born x33
On the subject of all the frikken leopons, THATS MOSTLY YOU AND BANE OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS BREED LIKE RABBITS xDD But maybe we could make it necessary for all hybrids to roll for their litters? Sort of like how the dogs can freely pass through the delta but other animals have to swim. Hybrids need to roll like eight ability or smthn to breed. The number could also go up every time they gain an ability stat, just so we dont get an ultra leopon bangin all the bitches x33
Otherwise I do adore the idea of more hybrids. Kayode could find himself a nice striped hyena gal ;33

Yeah, that's one of my concerns, too. Though really, this happens with just about every new things we have. XD Like herbivores? Everyone jumped on the chance to have a herbivore. Most died within a couple weeks. Vultures and jackals? Everyone jumped on having one! Now almost all are dead, again.
I'm trying to think of some way to stop people from creating characters on impulse and then just killing them off, but sadly, I don't think there is a solution to this. I just have to hope for the best.
Well, the way I see it, if I'm going to allow unnatural hybrids, then all the big felines can bang each other. Leopard/cheetah is already unnatural enough, so why the hell not a cheetah/lion? XD
And yeah, Bane and I are horrible. I can't help that Tau is such a smooth bastard, okay. XD Though now that I'm thinking of it, I think I will make a rule where hybrids will have to roll every time they try to breed. Of course, doing ability rolls and adding 1 each time ability goes up is confusing, so I think just say, 'roll 8 to breed' and that's it. XD And I would have that apply to ALL hybrids as well as infertile characters. 'Cause if an infertile character is played long enough, eventually their ability will be above 8 and then you could just be like, "Auto-bred!" Nope. Just roll an 8. XD

This is Bane, I'm just on my new character's account. xD
I think the idea of having hybrids roll to breed is a good idea! It's easy to create the hybrids, but it'd definitely help make it a challenge to spread hybrid blood everywhere. Maybe we could have a flaw specifically for hybrids to be either -1 on breeding rolls and an attribute of +1 for breeding rolls?

I like those ideas, Bane! I think later today, if I'm not too lazy, I'll add in this new roll about hybrids and add in those attributes/flaws.
