How do traits of domesticated breeds like the Akita end up manifesting in dilute faraden?
>>In a similar fashion to how even people from the same continent can look different based on the specific country of origin. Faradens are a highly-variable race even between the two main strains. Some interesting traits resulting in a "domesticated animal" look are the result of seclusion of an ethnic group from others of the same race.
>>Through a similarity of culture and tradition, as well as different conditions and preferences, that secluded group can eventually look much different over time. They are still of the same race, but inside and outside factors given the time to act has designated this group distinct from others. Most places are no longer a strict monoculture given advancing trade and economies over time, but one can still find several places of a dominant ethnic group over other groups.
>>Faradens in general have two distinct strains: Pure and Dilute (though Dilutes may prefer "New" instead).
>>Pure faradens include the orders of: rodentia, chiroptera, lagomorpha, primates, erinaceomorpha, pilosa, cingulata, and macroscelidea.
>>Dilute faradens include the orders of: carnivora, soricomorpha, dermoptera, scandentia, hyracoidea, tubulidentata, afrosoricida, didelphimorphia, paucituberculata, dasyuromorphia, peramelemorphia, and diprotodontia.
>>Note that any hooved, horned, or egg-laying mammal you may be familiar with are not included, nor are the members of notoryctemorphia. Those with hooves and horns remained as they are on this continent, but developed into ramiotrans across the ocean.
>>Some members of a few groups, including carnivora's felids and canids, rodentia's murids, or lagomorpha's leporids were known to cluster in some locations in their personal histories, resulting in different looks. Only a few of the more "basal" breeds of any "domestic" group exist, however.
>>"Dogs" include a few spitz-line breeds while "cats" include some breeds like the mau, forest cat, korat, and siamese. There are by no means the same extensive list of breeds here as over there!
>>What is important to note is that these faradens only look different, they are still functionally the same as where they came from: a domestic dog faraden like Xhias is still functionally the same as a wolf faraden despite looking a little different.
