Game Tutorial Masterpost

So you've downloaded the game and successfully created and logged into your account. What now? Well it's time to create your very own, unique character. Once you've logged into your in-game account you can choose from one of the two provided options "Create New" or "Choose existing". If this is the first time you're creating a character then you'll need to "Create new". You'll be greeted with a list of available species which you can choose from...now the fun begins.

🐾 The General tab
This tab contains basic character options.

Character name: Oh the joy of coming up with a unique name, ay?

Snout: General facial looks such as snout length, nose bumps, jaw length etc.
(Which species are you trying to imitate? Perhaps your character needs a long snout for foraging?)

Body: This includes your character's body build like its weight and bulk/muscle etc.
(Is it an underweight scavenger or a mightily-built leader?)

Fur: Additionally you can also pick a fur type like standard, short or curly.
(Each gives a distinct look to your character)

Expression: Your character's general expression.
(Does it squint a lot, is its gaze gentle, or does it have an abrasive stare?...)

Size: You can make it as large or as small as you like.
(consider things like its specie, age and gender)

Paws: Time to do your character's manicure. Paw size, claw length, sharpness etc.
(Does it need long claws to dig/hunt, or is it a peace-loving grazer?)



🐾 The Markings tab
Time to customize your character even further by adding markings. Remember, experimentation is key.

Primary, Secondary and Tertiary: will show up on your character's body.
(You can use all three, just make sure to adjust the colours later on)

Ear markings: will show up on the ears.
(Your character will have ears to-die-for)

Tail markings: will show up on the tail.
(unless your character opted out of having a tail...)


 
🐾 The Colours tab
The perfect touch up to any character. Create the perfect colour combination for your character).

Base: This is the general fur colour.
(Are you going for a realistic look or a more mythical one?)

Flesh: The flesh colour of the inside of your character's mouth. 
(Oh, this could be interesting...Maybe your character's tribe requires you to have a specific flesh colour?)

Teeth: The colour of your character's teeth.
(For all we know, that friendly-looking canine sitting opposite you could reveal an array of teeth stained red...with what could have been their meal)

Claws: This is the colour of your character's claws.
(Perhaps Wolfo enjoys treading through mud and digging in dirt?)

Eye (Right): This is the colour of your character's right eye.
(By default the option to "make eyes same colour" (displayed above the drop box) will be ticked. To change the color of the left eye you will need to un-tick this option)

Eye (Left): This is the colour of your character's left eye (optional).
(To leave both eyes the same colour  just skip this part)

Nose: Colour of your character's nose.
(♪♫ Rudolf the red nosed reindeer...)

Eyelid: The colour around your character's eyes.
(Perhaps an evolutionary fault has caused your character to have purple eyelids?)

Mane: The colour of your character's mane.
(Maybe your character likes to rock that orange mane, or perhaps it helps bring out the inner simba?)

Primary marking: This is the colour of your chosen primary marking.
(Perhaps all your character has is a few black spots, or maybe they have brightly coloured markings to warn predators?)

Secondary marking: This is the colour of your chosen secondary marking
(Maybe those black spots need some brown stripes? Or maybe rebellious Wolfo needs more colour?) 

Tertiary marking: This is the colour of your chosen tertiary marking
(And the last little colour touch up - cream leopard spots. Wolfo is now dripping with colour )



🐾 The Add-ons tab
Manes, eyes, tails, ears...! We're nearly there.

Manes: There are primary, secondary and neck manes
(You can also choose cheek and brow whiskers)

Eyes: Eye styles such as scratch, blank and goat etc.
(Maybe Wolfo is secretly possessed by a demon?)

Tails: You can choose tail lengths such as tailless, short tail and long tail.
(Why is Wolfo's tail all bone? Is that a shark tail?)

Ears: Ear styles such as caracal, curly, lynx etc.
(Why do you have such big ears Wolfo?)

{Add-ons 2: There are also additional tufts and scars, to add a little bit more detail.}



🐾 The Bio tab
This is the icing on the cake. Every character needs a little background, right?
Ideas of what you could include:

Character:
♠ Nickname preference, age, gender.
♠ Personality traits
♠ Relationships {parents, mate, offspring?}
♠ Likes and dislikes
♠ Background/life story (how did Wolfo end up with that harsh scar across his eye?) 

Tribe:
♠ Name, Leader, Location.
♠ Rank in the tribe
♠ Tribe symbols/markings?
♠ Link to tribe's forum or thread

All that's left to do is to save your character and you're done and ready to head in-game. Spend as much time creating your character, in the end it represents you as an individual. Have fun in-game!
