001 -- Frequently Asked Questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

I'M NEW HERE, WHAT DO I DO FIRST?
hello and welcome to faint pawprints! there are several things you could do first, maybe go to the introductions board or say hello on the discord. you can also start your first character application! if you need help with this then there is a character creation tutorial for you to use!

WHAT ARE THE ACCEPTED NAMES ON HERE?
we are very relaxed with names on here, so you can use anything that a cat might have seen! this is not set in any specific country, more of cross between europe and northern america. so the cats do not know things like elephants, kangaroos or pandas. they do not live near the ocean but ocean-related names such as coral, shell and wave are acceptable. suffixes can also be anything, they are not limited to canon suffixes. 

WHAT IS KITTYBITS OR KB?
this is the name of the site currency! it is a digital form of money (that isn't equivalent to anything in real life!) and is earned when you make in character posts. that means that anything in character central or the lounge does not earn you any. this currency can be used to buy things for your characters such as designing a litter or fertile male calico.

WHERE ARE ALL OF THE CLANS FROM THE BOOKS?
this is almost set in an alternate universe, so they never existed. on that note, there are no other clans in the world. so your cat cannot come from a far off clan. a far off group of cats? yes, but it cannot be a clan. if you just don't specify it'll be fine.

CAN MY CAT BE A SPECIAL BREED?
yes they can! breeds such as burmese, siamese, ragdoll, maine coon, bengal etc. are all allowed in the clans. but, breeds such as the sphynx can only be kittypets. it is very unlikely that they would survive outside of the clans without a pelt to protect them.

HOW CAN MY SAME-SEX COUPLE HAVE KITS?
if you wish for your same-sex couple to have kits then all you need to do is find someone to carry/provide for them. is the couple is two males then you can purchase an npc queen litter or you can find a character and thread them together to request kits. either way this will mean that only one of the toms is related to the kits. they will be nursed by a queen, whether a real character or not, until they become apprentices. it works much the same way with two females, you would need to purchase an npc father or find a character and thread them together. whichever she-cat carries the kits will be the one to nurse them though, so choose wisely.

CAN MY CAT HAVE BLUE EYES?
yes, they can! well that is unless they are black. while it is uncommon for non white cats to have blue eyes we allow it (this is a fantasy cats rp). but our staff members discussed this and decided that black cats cannot have blue eyes, unless it is bought. this is because it is impossible for black cats to have blue eyes.
