As it goes, I am a traditional Rper, growing up with the oldest forms of D&D and Fantasy lore. 

The first picture you have provided is a Neko. The second is both a Beastmen/Beastkin to myself. As an older fella and from a more traditional standpoint, Beastmen/Kin are the same thing, with the difference(s) being the word a particular person might use; or the particular custom universe a person might make in which Beastmen and Beastkin are different. As it goes, this Rp is designed and stated as being Witcher and Dark Fantasy inspired, which leads me to believe it is also more traditionally inspired by the older stuff, such as D&D.

I can see how that might be, but the first image is not a neko. A neko is a cat, as in, a household critter. A nekomimi, is likely what you are thinking of, but the first image does not technically qualify for that either, as it is a snow leopard, and not your common household pet, which is what nekomimi's tend to be. But, as said, I wasn't trying to force my beliefs upon you, and as I understand your view, I shall edit my character concept a tad bit, so as not to cause conflicts with yours. :3
