Could I use an animal in RP? Like, a Falcon. Just in conversations and forums. Not in battle or anything. I would think you could, but you never know...
I mean like, naturally colored gold. But it does not matter really. I doubt many people will remember that its a gold winged Falcon, and it saves me from typing more words in my emotes.
Sure, if it's animals or things like that, that give you no real advantage you can roleplay them. Check here for that rule: it's the 3rd rule from below. Also, there are many animals in the Implemented World Lore section of the forums, if you want to read about many more.
