My character is being accused of being/not being an StormCat!
If your character is in no way, shape, or form associated with Alisa's StormCat species, then we suggest for you to consider adjusting the presentation of your character to make this distinction more apparent. First, determine what element is most likely the cause for the confusion. Sometimes this is the way the character is drawn or if the physical attributes of the character are very similar to the representations of StormCats, consider adjusting the image itself to ensure it is clearly distinguished as its own, separate species. If you have no interest in changing the image, then perhaps it is the wording or description of the character. Using the term "StormCat" is not exclusive and can be misleading as the term "StormCats" is used improperly by other sources.
If your character is supposed to be a StormCat and it's accused of not being one, pay close attention to what elements of its presentation that are causing this issue. Most commonly it will be pointed out to you by others the specific details, and this is almost always because there may be one or more physical traits in your character that do not follow the guidelines required for belonging to the StormCat family. There is also the background story/abilities/behavior/lore for StormCats and perhaps yours doesn't quite fit in with those either. Please visit the Guidelines page and the Species page to review and make the necessary changes.
If you need assistance editing your image or information to fit these guidelines or have questions, please contact the Creator.
