Restrictions and Exotics

Below are the current restricted traits, banned traits, and a list of available exotic breeds. Please make sure to read all of the information regarding these within the Rules and FAQ before applying for one.

Be aware when creating your first character that you don’t accidentally use a trait or breed listed below, as this will get your application declined and you will have to wait until the next opening to re-apply.

Restricted Traits
In order to acquire a restricted trait you must receive admin approval. If the trait you want is closed, then you have to buy a Restriced Access Pass from the General Store to open it.
 * Starting characters cannot have any of the restricted traits listed below unless obtained through a Character Adoption.
 * When your character is given a Restricted Trait, it has to be clearly listed within the description under a “Trait” label.
 * Restricted traits are on a first come first serve bases — they cannot be reserved.

Bans
There aren’t currently any bans. If a trait becomes excessive within the group, then it will be placed here and members will no longer be able to access it, even with the Restricted Access Pass. Once the population is increased, then the trait may become accessible again if the Admins decide to make it available.

Exotics
In BGL a feline classified as “Exotic” is one that exists within the wild cat breeds of the world. Obtaining access to a full blood character of one of the breeds below is rare, and can only be obtained through special opportunities, or Character Adoptions within the group.
 * Unlike Restricted traits, Exotic breeds cannot be freely created through Admin permission. They have to be obtained through special means.
 * Bengals, Savannahs, Pixie Bobs and Chausies are all allowed to be freely created, as they are recognized as their own breed, and most don’t necessarily have wild cat genetic markers anymore. As long as your character is really far down the generational line from when the original pair mated to create the hybrid breed (i.e. character can’t be an F1 Bengal), you will be fine.
 * When creating an Exotic, please make sure not to go below or exceed the given shoulder heights.
