Hah, yes, it'll probably still be a little "furryfied" but yes there is a reason why the species are what they are.
Thank you for pointing out typos as well, I will see to getting them sorted in the new release. And don't think too much about the fur tattoo, it's just a stylistic option to add to a character's design and to add a character's feeling. It's just another little knob to turn design-wise to try and convey what sort of character they are.
Thank you very much for giving the game a go and I'm glad you're enjoying it so far!
