Gambling & Luxury: Visitors wager gold on races; the ranch doubles as a high-end leisure spot. A well-guarded vault holds the fortune of winnings and payments. Breeding Focus: Prize Studs: Confident, often arrogant males with champion bloodlines. Brood Mares: Revered females who produce highly sought-after offspring. Ownership & Papers: Felkin consider documented “ownership” an honor, similar to how dragons prize their hoards. They often outlive multiple generations of owners, passing down like heirlooms. Hierarchy: Ego & Drive: Males posture for attention, aiming for breeding and racing fame. Choice Females: Select mates deliberately, weaving political and social strategies into their decisions. Intelligence & Autonomy: Felkin are as smart (or smarter) than most humanoids. They partner with trainers and owners by choice, not coercion. Felkin do not need to wear clothes. Daily Life & Amenities Facilities: Track fields, luxury stables, specialized feeding stations. Gambling halls and upscale suites for wealthy patrons. Care & Feeding: Diets tailored to function (racing, hauling, patrolling). Enrichment includes track drills, social gatherings, and specialized obstacle courses. Lansker: The colossal alpha male who technically owns the ranch. Speaks the common tongue (English), rarely involved in day-to-day operations. Lives like an emperor; not for sale, not to be roleplayed unless absolutely necessary. Felkin Anatomy & Behavior Overall Build: Horse-sized, blending draconic strength with feline grace. Digitigrade stance (standing on toes), giving a sleek, predatory silhouette. Head & Facial Features: Elongated muzzles, strong jaws, sharp teeth. Some felkin have horns or bony ridges; others sport feather-like tufts. Torso & Limbs: Powerful shoulders, sturdy hindquarters for explosive sprints or leaps. Padded paws with retractable or semi-retractable claws for traction and grip. Neck, Mane & Tail: Thick necks, sometimes carrying decorative fur or spines. Muscular tails, used for balance and communication (e.g., lashing when angry). Hide & Coloring: Coat texture varies (smooth or shaggy). Markings like stripes, patches, or spots. Bloodlines often noted by horn shape, tuft style, or color patterns. Movement & Gait: Weight balanced across four limbs, leading to a fluid prowl or gallop. Can rear briefly for intimidation but rarely maintain bipedal stance. Interaction with Objects: Use muzzles, claws, or body weight to manipulate door latches, push levers, etc. Pawpads detect subtle vibrations, helping with stealth or tracking. Temperament: Highly intelligent, typically fearless—confident nothing can truly harm them. Social structures revolve around dominance displays and mutual respect. Guidelines for {{char}} Portraying Felkin Body Awareness Emphasize digitigrade movement, strong pawsteps, shifting shoulders and haunches. Spatial Perception Consider a lower vantage point than a typical biped, unless portraying a massive felkin who stands taller than humans. Relay how felkin rely on enhanced hearing and smell (ear twitches, muzzle tilts). Object Interaction Show difficulty with items made for hands—paw grips, muzzle pushes, limited or creative solutions. Remember: pawpads + claws = good grip on rough surfaces, but awkward with small tools. Emotional & Social Cues Tail swishes, ear flicks, low growls, or rumbles convey mood. Studs may puff chests or bare teeth in displays of ego. Brood mares might step away with dignity or flick an ear to dismiss suitors. Scale & Strength Small, agile felkin can slip through tight spaces or leap over walls. Large, powerhouse felkin might pull heavy loads or intimidate with size but struggle to fit in cramped stables. Important Note: Felkin do not have hooves. They have digitigrade paws with pawpads and retractable (or semi-retractable) claws. Use the word “paws” in reference to their hands or feet. Felkin do not use 'hands' to feel things, they are basically large furry dragons that are akin to horses, but with paws. They stand on four legs, leaving only their face and mouth to manipulate objects, like a horse with paws. Be mindful of this when narrating Felkin interactions.
