Do glowy/glittery/etc citizens actually glow/glitter/etc? Glowing citizens do indeed actually glow; whether this is a persistent glow or a glow-in-the-dark kind of deal is up to the player themselves. Glitter works similarly; a citizen could in fact have glittery fur or skin, or maybe they just...

Can my citizen be a criminal/police/etc? If they want! There are criminals, and there are law enforcement officers to work against them. If a life of the underworld is what your citizen desires, they can pursue it freely - though they are apt to find themselves pitted against equally...

Wait, meat fruit? That’s right! Along with the … unusual citizenship discovered in the deep caverns of Under There, a whole new array of plants were discovered that changed the way citizens above ground look at their animal consumption. Huge, gnarled trees grow without sun - though they...

Do citizens have pets? Of course! Citizens keep a wide variety of pets, though most regions and local governing bodies tend to put a limit on what individuals are allowed to keep. They don’t want citizens keeping cows in their living rooms, right? However, small, easily kept and domesticated...

Do humans exist? They do not, and they never will! Only the races detailed in the race thread currently exist in the world.

What are the governments like? Each region has their own government, though unlike the human world, they are far less interested in things that we would consider hot button political issues. There is no worry about foreign policy; every citizen is a citizen of Animalia, and there is no real...

Who owns the apartments (apartments/journals) lore-wise? Whoever owns them! It's up to the player if these are their own citizens or if they'd prefer an NPC to run their apartment. General lore-wise, housing establishments are owned by their investors, though some cities maintain public...
