Species Suggestion, Demons and Angels Options

[Devoid]

A Demon.. or something of the such. It could have horns, long fangs, all evilish.. narrowed eyes, spikes, etc.

An Angel.. Could have halo, wings, robe, soft looks, wide, innocent eyes, fluffy tail, etc..

Hm.. Something like those creatures.

Of course.. those would have to be buyable :3.

Sound like they might be viable options but I'm not sure I'd like to see them.

I'd rather Furcadia not introduce creatures which have religious connotations and, going along with that, ethical and moral connotations attached to them.

As someone who believes these creatures are real, I'd rather not see them on the main maps played by people who would act up or be decidedly un-holy in the guise of an 'angel' or run around as a demon and think themselves 'cute' or 'badass' when I don't believe ANY mortal would want to have anything to do with demons if they stopped to think about it.

"But Seley!" you say, "What about people who believe that dragons are real?" -- dragons are not automatically associated with a particular moral axis the way angels and demons are. Neither are any of the other mythicals currently in Furcadia. Many religions have very strong beliefs with the alignments of these particular two creatures.

(These represent my personal opinions, but I'm probably going to be chewed out for saying them anyway, so go ahead.)

By the way - no, I would not flip out and attack someone who uses patches like this or the concept of angels and demons in their personal dream as avatar choices. I've done plenty of stories and roleplays that deal with both and in a private dream, that's fine. I'd even like to see some dreams like this. (And if you or someone else comes up with a patch like this, I'd love to see it!)

I just think that, as a company, DEP ought to be careful about introducing official avatars that would have these kind of sensitive connotations when there is a very diverse player base.

I agree, oddly enough, with the both of ya.

Not too sure I'd like Angels & Demons to be a permanent Digo. Maybe, if it's added, have it available during Halloween/Christmas, like the Flying Toasters and such were? Then again, what a "Demon" looks like varies greatly too. Some would argue that it should only be red. Others black and red. Others would prefer a variety of remappable colors. And what type of wings? Bat-like, fluffy, scaley? Even an Angel's look could be easily disputed.

I'm not totally against it, but if made, caution should be used.

We honestly do not need demon avs.
