The Character Select Screen

The Character Select Screen is a simple yet important part of the Game. Here, you will choose what species to play. Many choices will be made before you ultimately reach your desired build. This will feature most animals and not others like plants and fungi. View the character select screen here (that green box thingy) [1]

## Domain

### Eukarya

These contain those who have a cell nucleus enclosed with a cell membrane. These have the best & most complex gameplay

## Notes

* Some builds are locked off and are achievable in various ways. These builds are typically called Cryptids. Many Cryptids are actually just rumors (Solo Simians, Thunderbird), some are banned (Mokele-mbembe, Loch Ness Monster), and some are accessed by selecting a certain character and applying a status effect.
* These factions only includes present day animals that are neither extinct nor banned such as the non-avian Dinosaurs.
* This only includes animals, for other kingdoms and domains, go to the character select screen updated.Some guilds contain clans with no playable relatives and which do not typically have all the features of the true guild. These are called quasi-guilds and include builds like Archaeopteryx, Basiliosaurus, Leedsichthys and Dimetrodon
