why are there wolf taguel in this RP

no, seriously. this is ridiculous. there are more wolf taguel than ACTUAL taguel.

wolf taguel don't and shouldn't exist, please gb2 tellius with that and play as something that's actually in FE: Awakening

[♠ Kuroya]

As mentioned on Panne's page on the Fire Emblem wiki page, there is acknowledgement that there are other species of taguel besides that of rabbit. In fact, and I quote directly, "Panne says in a support conversation with the Avatar, that far away there are Taguels that are able to transform into cats and birds" and "In her support with Ricken, she continues the Tellius references by saying she had met wolf and lion taguel a long time ago". Thus, wolf taguel are not so far-fetched, especially considering the way they have been implemented - as a race of creatures who survived far from mankind in a region that was not fully (or really at all) explored in Awakening.

Furthermore, it is reasonable to allow for other species since there is a lack of specifically rabbit-based characters, and considering that originally there was no original art allowed, that was the compromise made on taguel. Even though we do allow original art, I see no reason to discriminate against non-artists by pushing them into restrictions they may not be able to meet.

If you don't like it, you don't have to play as a taguel, to be quite honest. If it doesn't involve you, you don't have to come make a nasty comment about it. It's not causing you problems, and since it actually expands on the diversity of character types allowed for taguel, I see no problem with it, nor do the other staff members.

Regards.

so a bird character is or is not ok

[suna]

okay i'm going to just bounce in and ask quickly cause this is on-topic ish, are there certain restrictions on the types of races taguel can be? like, are they laguz-races only, or 'beasts' (large mammals like wolves and bears and tigers, and then rabbits, oonly?) or are all of the animals accessable to a taguel, like birds and snakes and fish? sorry to bother aha

edit: frick mrx ninja'd me what

[♠ Kuroya]

I'd actually forgotten about the birds, but since it is mentioned, and FE:A is actually extremely clear about it in the supports that birds and cats exist for taguels, birds and large mammals are definitely okay.

Fish, snakes, and other cold-blooded animals would probably be handled on a case by case basis. Personally, I'm not fond of the idea of them since, to me, it would defeat the purpose of a taguel to have a fish or a snake, but until a character actually appears, or someone wants to make one, I will defer judgement for sure on that until a later date.

I am obviously not Kuro, but as for my $0.02 as your neighborhood useless staffer: I would heavily recommend for bird-type taguel (and pretty much any variety but rabbits) to be non-native and apply under the Foreigner member group unless they can justify being native to the continent.

okay!! thanks for clarifying, kuro + katya! i appreciate it! ; v;

Personally I can see mammals living up in the northern area of Ferox where we never really get to see much in-game and where they live in small family-knit clans/packs. That was what I had established with my previous taguel, who was a wolf. Birds, however, I definitely see living on the Valmese continent or somewhere else, though I'm a bit leery about accepting bios from places other than Valm for foreigners. Though this is just my two cents on the matter from v1, so whether or not it carries over to v2 is a bit of a toss-up.
