I'm pretty sure there's actually a rather huge difference between fully sapient hybrid and mindless animal, but oh well.

Then I don't see any point why you would even want to comment here, since you admited you haven't read anything. If you don't want any interactions, your choice. I neither would cry about it nor care.
I read the first stuff of that Jir So Kin. I figured you switched accounts again. So I wondered if I could actually experience the way you rp first hand. But apparently you have that "I don't care" attitude now.

Could be this. It's more I see no reason in forcing people into interactions if they do not want it in the first place. It's their own decision and I have full obligation to respect that. I'm sorry if I sounded a bit harsh before.
Looking forward to possible interactions though. C:
Well, if it's not interesting to you, or you do not like it, don't even comment. Nobody wants you to interact with something that you don't like, just ignore it and let people do their own stuff they like.
As far as I know, and it was mentioned, there is huge difference between hybrid and mindless animal.
Let me remind you that RP Stories Feedback Forum as well as Faction Feedback threads are made for only constructive criticism and feedback, not for nonsense.
edit: let me mention that this guy is doing more RP and ingame related interraction (which is what everyone should do) than 90% of community, who go for nonsense characters, to chill infront of New York and nothing else.

I do not, at all, understand why you think it's necessary to RP a furry in Discovery. There's literally no lore evidence that such a thing exists
...because no one takes them seriously.

say there's a big meeting
you come to that big meeting and starts talking
one of the people in that big meeting acknowledges your existence while the others don't
it's awkward of that person says something related to you while the other didn't even know you were there inrp
obviously they'll be forced by roleplay to acknowledge your existence even if they don't want to
basically as skorak said i'd rather not rp with an animal but i don't want to be a massive cock and "not see" you if you ever stumble upon a group of people i'm rping with and they start talking to you or whatever
tl;dr pls no furries
sorry for the lack of grammar/spellchecking/punctuation but i woke up 5 minutes ago i'm ill and this whole thing is ridiculous to me because furries
Solution to all those, since I'm purely amused people like to point obvious thing:
It's a Gaul, nonetheless. You may point out the sort of difference - or completely ignore it and treat it as a normal Gaul - very easy to do so from my point of view. You want me to change Red? Very little chance given roleplay is already rolling for some time and retconning him into so-called "human being" would require erasing roleplay with other people (as if nothing happened), which were brought up and interested by something relatively new and unique. Not to mention completely rewriting background from the scratch, making entire character development pointless.
As I said before, show me in lore anything about experiments with making hybrids - because there are no such things, but then nothing forbids us to do so, making it a quite open topic. If you don't care or find it ridiculous - simply don't put any feedback and move along.

I personally dislike roleplaying with characters that I know are furries since, as others have said, I don't consider them part of the Discovery universe. So basically your character - as far as I'm concerned - can't really exist. The only real way to make this work during interactions is to pretend that your character is a complete lunatic that likes to dress up like some form of humanoid animal. That in turn makes most serious roleplay pretty difficult, I mean, if there were peace negotiations or something and the other party was represented by a dude in an animal suit, my character would find it difficult to believe that they wanted the negotiations to lead to anything.
I also don't see the need to import other universes' characters into Freelancer. There are plenty of oddities within Disco (AI, Nomads, Infectees) that you could go for instead. If your ingame roleplay is indistinguishable from human roleplay, exactly what does "being a furry" mean in practice other than a wonky character pic?

So what you're saying is that every criticism is unwelcome? What is the point of a feedback thread then, if you don't want to hear people's opinions? You have to be aware of the fact that making a furry character will cause dislike and negative feedback, yet you not only decided to RP one, like other people before you have (and just got ignored/caught flak for it), you also created a feedback thread, notifying people of the characters existence even further - rubbing it in their faces if you will. Now you claim that negative feedback concerning the character is unwelcome. See the problem?
Also, what @Haste said. If your character might as well be a human being, why not just make him a human being instead of shoehorning in something to import a character from a different universe, that happens to be a furry from a universe where Furries are indeed part of the canon? What is so hard about just sticking with what we have?

Or literally have a character with genetic deformities, or too much plastic surgery or something. That'd make way more sense than being a walking, talking dog.
Hell there are people who are entirely hairy, even on their face. You can literally look up things from the freak show (people with crab claws, 3 fingers, people looking like weird creatures from way too much surgery)
As far as experimentation and merging go, it might probably fail.

Well, this thread was created after literally few days of rp on this char. Implying Toris didn't knew that absolute majority of the community which does serious roleplay on the server do not accept furry rolepaly. So consequences of creating this char and this thread were more than obvious. I don't know why he enjoying to swim in the sea of negative feedback, but oh well, it's his choice. According to whole discovery lore this char is pure nonsense. It is funny how you trying to call opinion of all of those people nonsense instead.
