Role Players are asked to explore and exercise their creativity. ItM allows all creatures of the Miocene epoch to be presented as Characters, however, to preserve the atmosphere of the novels, it is vital to remember that as of yet, only specific felines are capable of interactive speech. All other animals may communicate through natural gestures/growls alone - with beings of the same species. Bristlemanes, Giant Birds, etc.. cannot ‘talk’ with the Named or Hunter Tribe, nor do they support a vocal language among one another.
In order to gain the most from your Role Play experience here at Into The Mist, it is recommended that you create at least one feline character. ItM understands that this is both a necessary limitation, and a subtle hindrance.
Therefore, in time, if common enough in the RP circuit, certain critters will become exceptions to the ‘no dialect’ regulation - and may speak in a tongue entirely their own, symbolized by smaller or different colored font. Until then however, ItM follows the above ethic. In Clare’s realm, there are two distinct feline Clans - the Named, and the Hunter Tribe. It is vital to read up on their differences, as both sustain similarities and diversities that if confused, would lead to great puzzlement in the RP. All other cats (thus far) are referred to as the ‘Un-Named’ - whether they follow a path of cognizant thought or blind instinct.
Because of their unique social system, Hunters may be extremely difficult for novice Rpers to adopt - but they are encouraged to try.

The Named
The Named are a clan of comprehensive cats (or paleo-felids). They encompass the mental acumen of modern humans - capable of verbal speech, cognitive thought, emotional appreciation, and a sense of identity. This capacity for wisdom is openly witnessed in the acute clarity of their gazes - an alert focus known to all as ’the light in the eyes’. This ‘awareness’ is a treasured gift, highly valued among those of the Clan. One is not considered ‘Named’ without it.

The Hunter Tribe
The Hunter Tribe is a semi-nomadic band of felines (or paleo-felids) known for their predations on Mammoths. Each year they follow the migratory patterns of these thunderous mammals, relying on them for food and survival. In appearance they are similar to the Named. The only noticeable differences are their robust frames, broad shoulders, extended fangs, and variable pelt colors. While intelligent, their pattern of understanding differs from those of the Clan. Hunters retain the wisdom of speech and observation, but do not readily boast a sense of self. Their identity is communal, a stirring unity shared and heard exclusively by the Hunter Tribe through a telepathic link called ’The Song’ - an enchanting, mind-spoken rhythm - the many voices of past ancestors.

The Un-Named
The term ‘Un-Named’ is a general idiom used to denote felines (or paleo-felids) without clan and/or sentiment. Therefore, they thrive in a limitless array of shapes and sizes, able to originate from any corner of the continent, if not the globe, traveling alone or in groups. They do not harbor the intellect to entertain names (hence their label), status, or even a sense of self. They are void of speech, comprehension, and emotion. The Un-Named merely ‘are‘.
