Character Creation
Refer to Getting Started for more context as to what these next steps are! The following will guide you through creating an entirely new species that does not exist on the AnE HUD.
Creating a Species
If a species you type in does not exist you can click on CREATE to start the process of adding it.
You'll need to confirm this is what you are wanting to do before moving forward.
Is the species you are wanting to add a Purebred or a Hybrid?
Hybrid meaning a mix of two or more species. (Example: Sergal and Dragon giving you a “Dragal”)
In this example going forward we will be selecting Purebred
Taxonomic Classification
In this step you will be given a warning on the taxonomic classification process. What you place within the following menus will determine your compatibilities with other species. So please choose wisely, and do a bit of research.
See this website here for a bit of insight as to how this classification process is done. The chart below will be referenced during the following dialogs…the most common selections will always be the FIRST button within every dialog, but not every classification will exist for every species so bare that in mind; some research may be required.
Following examples will be referencing the Common Dog, what ever you choose you can use this as the example.
Following the chart above the Common Dog would fall under the Eukarya Domain, your species may fall under this or you may have to research what domain your custom species falls under.

This is the last chance you can make any changes to the pyramid.
Species Stats
The following dialogs will walk you through setting up ovulation, ovulation period, ovum, gestation, growth period, uterus size, embryo size, live birth or egg birth... Please put thought into these values as it will determine the length of most conception's and the chances of it occurring.
