SLARPG lore question: In a world where both beastfolk and traditional animals exist, how would one in-universe differentiate between them in regular conversation? For example, let's say someone in Greenridge saw a regular fox strolling in a forest. Is there a usual way they can say "I saw this pretty fox strolling in the forest!" without someone potentially thinking they saw a fox beastfolk? Would they say "regular fox", "animal fox", or something else?

I mean, this can definitely be a source of confusion for them in-universe. I imagine people might say something like that and then have to clarify like "oh I meant a regular fox" or "feral fox" or whatever

I think the actual practical answer for me in my writing is that I just don't tend to have the characters refer to each other by species much. This is partially because the animal stuff is very mundane to them, and partially because I think the dialogue sounds way more natural if I leave out stuff like having characters call Melody a "vixen" or whatever instead of just calling her a woman. If I was to write a prose story, i would probably not be tagging many Jodie lines with "said the tiger"

(If you were to scrub through the entire script you'd find that it's actually somewhat rare for the beast folk characters to even acknowledge that they're animals. It's something that they don't tend to dwell on. It's the non-beast folk characters who tend to find it more worth remarking upon.)

Anyway, if, for example, Allison needed to point to a feline beast person on the street, she would be way more likely to just point and go "that guy over there" rather than "that cat over there." If she pointed out a cat, her friends would probably assume that she was talking about a literal cat, not a person. If someone does need to specify a beast folk character's species like that, they would probably be more likely to say something like "dog girl" or "bird dude" or "cat person" to make it clear that they're talking about a person

How does Ipsy have those cool sharp chompers compared to the other undead? Is she of another species (undead status aside), did she go get sharp teeth, or is there no explanation and she has them because it looks cool (which if so, valid, honestly)?

Ipsy is just an elf. I would have just said that it's a random quirk she was born with. No rule saying we can't give sharp teeth to an elf, or any other species for that matter.

However, I asked Anthony (who designed her), and he decided that it's a modification she made after her revival so that she could bite through things like wires while doing her tinkering. I like that, so that's the answer now
