Character/expect

This page outlines the expectations for length for character sheet sections.

All Characters

Genetic Possibilities

All characters approved at CoSC are required to be genetically possible in real life. This is because our Litters Department requires characters to be genotyped to be eligible to procreate, and cats who are not possible in real life cannot be genotyped. While eye colors are permitted a much greater amount of leeway (we do not restrict eye colors by coat color as in real life genetics, but unnatural colors are not permitted) pelt colors and patterns must be ones that exist in real life. Further details on genetically possible coat colors can be found in the Genetics Department.

The colors of the parents need to be derived from the color of the character and any siblings. If you need help working out the genetics, please consult one of the helpful members of the Genetics Project.

Grammar & Spelling

Passable grammar is expected, and sheets are expected to at least have been passed through a spellcheck program. In fact, your browser may have a built in spell-check function that you can take advantage of!
