@mynameistillian This is not to say that you must decide on everything before you write anything. Quite the contrary! I do want to illustrate how having *some* idea of some of the basics will likely help you answer the questions you posed at the start of the thread. Otherwise, at best, you're likely to just end up with furry humans largely identical to the humans you're familiar with, with maybe some exaggerated trait; not unlike Star Trek but with people having fur and muzzles. #writing
