[@Voltus_Ventus], unless you can make an exceedingly good character and a reason for having survived as anything but, the standard is predatory mammals. The reason I say this is, as a character, your continued existence would likely hinge on either how useful you are alive and one's individual cunning. Unintelligent predators are unlikely to be swayed either. Canonically no less, it would be much, much more rare as the intelligent predators were created by human tampering before the fall.

It does not bode well and I will more thoroughly examine any such submissions, along with those of human characters, but it is not explicitly barred.

As a note, as the Game Master I will state it is explicitly [i]not[/i] my intent to focus on anything much beyond the conflict of the predators, be them animal or human, in the environment and against one another.
