Fundamentally, most games are a race of some sort - the goal of the scenario is to reach a target number/space before your opponent, over a series of turns. The issue is that the fun part of a race is the kinetics of the experience. In a real-life race, or a good video game simulation, you have that tactile sense- the feeling of rapid motion, traction, maneuvering, shifting gears, the controller in your sweaty grip, the pain in your feet and the pounding in your chest, the wind in your hair... all things that you can't do in a tabletop game.

It's one reason most games seek engagement in their number-shifting system with a layer of fictional insulation- something as immediate as tactical violence or as broadscope as resource logistics. Because whenever I've sat down to a racing-themed game, I feel like I'm experiencing nothing but the numbers-go-up of the game.

so this system is based on cats coat patterns as cats are my special interest.

i am open to requests for specific genders and specific coat patterns as long as its one or the other :3 this includes multigenders btw!!!

a solid coat color implies that you are cis while a tabby coat implies you are trans, although you may use whichever flag you like best! colorpoint implies you took a long time to accept yourself, or that youve been that identity for a long time. a dilute color mainly implies you feel your presenting your gender in a non conforming manner except for brown/caramel where they are unrelated labels.

this is just part one of many of what im calling the catcoat gender system or CCGS :3

black coat ; any queer person who presents as masculine in a male way

blue coat ; any queer person who presents as masculine in a female or intersex way

grey coat ; any queer person who presents as feminine in a female way

white coat ; any queer person who presents as feminine in a male or intersex way

orange coat ; any queer person who presents as androgynous in a intersex way

cream coat ; any queer person who presents as androgynous in male or female way

brown coat ; any queer person who presents as xenine in any way

caramel coat ; any queer person who presents as aporine in any way
