Unapproved Character

Does your character's appearance fit our guidelines?, i.e., not too big or with unrealistic features (ex: a mane... ;))?

Just to play devil's advocate and to clarify going forward, haven't other characters been described as having a "mane" of sorts? Wintersbane comes to mind (not calling you out, Mochi, just an example!). Where is the line between a realistic mane and a non-realistic mane? Elijah's "mane" is described as like a lion's mane — could that not just be flowery descriptive language?

We deny all characters, full-stop, that have manes or references of it in their design or appearance.

There is no such thing as a realistic mane, as wolves don't have manes and there shouldn't be references of it in profiles. It's as unrealistic as listing a wolf with thumbs or retractable claws in my perspective.

If you are seeing it in profiles of approved characters, that means they were edited in after approval. We can't police every description update that happens post approval; there's hundreds of profile edits a day.

Players should stick to the semi-realistic guidelines and should do their best to report any unrealistic design to CMs.

Regarding "semi"-realism - the "semi" clause is really only flexible in terms of coat-patterns and eye-colors wolves can come in.  It is not meant to flex what is unnaturally occurring to a wolf in terms of conformation or type. So no manes, no thumbs, no hooves, no antlers, no donkey tails.
