Physical Appearance Rules
So, when picking out what you are adding to the base bodies, you have up to 20 points to use. Since this is an open species, there are limitations when it comes to physical traits that are used
When picking what you use for your physical traits, as stated, you have 20 points to choose your traits. This excludes your character's base body type (Laconian Dog, Lion, Eagle, Black Sheep, Boar, or Wolf).
Each tier of traits has a different amount of points. These amounts goes as follows:
Common- 2
Uncommon- 4
Rare- 6
Ultra Rare- 8
Legendary- 10
The other that is not included in the point calculation is the animal that you take the palette from. Do note though: It must be an animal connected to a god/titan/primordial. In which I am fully aware of the overlap of animals.
That goes into a general rule I will reiterate when I go into my general species rules. When posting your character for the first time, tag me and state the animals used and where they were used.
Ex:
Base Body Type- Eagle
Wings- Owl (Nyx, -10)
Legs- Donkey (Dionysis, -6)
Horns- Cretan Bull (Heracles, -4)
Coloration- Crab (Calypso)
You must have some sort of mane on the character when it comes to their appearance. Due to them not seeing gender similarly to other creatures. Their gender assigned at birth can change much like a clown fish or parrot fish, hence the mane length.
Facial shape, hands and tail do not get changed though as those are considered main indicators to what the base species the character is.

Legendary Animal Traits
These traits can be added onto a greepic character. These gods and god-like beings are from greek mythology. Specifically from the primordial gods that have not been mentioned. There are many different options to choose from, but you do not have to have all of them. Whatever seems like it will fit the character, you can choose from. Different parts of the animals can be mashed onto the base body type.
Each animal has been picked due to either being a sacred animal to the god in question, or have been connected to said gods in some way. I personally didn't specify some of the species unless they were specified in case there was a preferred species one wants to go with.
~Eros~
Hare
Rooster
~Gaia~
Serpent
Bull
Pig
Bee
~Nyx~
Owl
~Phanes~
Serpent
~Pontus~
Starfish
~Thalassa~
Coral
Dolphin
Same issue with the. titan deities, not every primordial deity has a sacred animal or an animal they're associated with

Not many for rare animal traits due to these being based on the main Olympians. I was looking through different animals that may be still be connected to these goddesses/god. Kinda like Aeolus (sacred animal is a kingfisher), I was actually surprised that the only animal considered sacred to Persephone was a deer and only the deer

Uncommon Animal Traits
These traits can be added onto a greepic character. These gods and god-like beings are from Homer's The Odyssey. These are additional beings that were not from the musical. There are many different options to choose from, but you do not have to have all of them. Whatever seems like it will fit the character, you can choose from. Different parts of the animals can be mashed onto the base body type.

~Hades~
Screech Owl
Black Ram
Serpent
Cerberus
~Ino~
Dolphin
~Heracles~
Nemean Lion
Lernean Hydra
Cerynitian Hind
Erymanthian Boar
Stymphalian Bird
Cretan Bull
Mare of Diomedes
Cattle of Geryon
Cerberus
There are not as many uncommon ones due to the number of the gods/god-like beings already in the musical by name or insinuated into the musical.

Base Body Creation Guide
There are 5 different animals that one can choose from to make their greepic character. A dog, lion, eagle, black sheep and boar. All of these animals are connected to the greek hero Odysseus. I will explain my reasoning for each and what is on the base body of this species.
Laconian Dog: It was possible this breed of dog was the breed of Odysseus' dog Argos, his faithful companian who stayed home in Ithica awaiting his master's return.
Lion: While lion features are definitely an influence throughout each type, I decided having a more feline appearance may be more appealing to some. As for how this connects to the Greek hero, Odysseus is said on a couple of occasions in The Odyssey that he is lion like.
Eagle: While very much an animal of Zeus, it was also the omen to the suitors that Odysseus was on his way home from his travels.
Black Sheep: This animal is mentioned in The Odyssey as Odysseus' sacrifice for Tiresias, the prophet he met in the underworld. This prophet tried to help guide him home.
Boar: This I also tie to Athena, but Odysseus has a scar on his leg from a boar he took down, gaining Athena's attention
Wolf: This one is more EPIC the Musical inspired, as Odysseus + his crew, and Telemachus, are referred to as wolves. It felt right to add this as it gives a fluffier canine base body type.
Now, for traits that are common throughout these types. They all have a mane that is dominance dimorphic. A more dominant specimen will have a thicker/longer mane that can wrap around the entire neck, though they are considered uncommon. A less dominant specimen will have a smaller/shorter mane, sometimes becoming mohawk like. Mohawks are considered as an uncommon trait though.
Each is different and individual in color. Their skin can be any color under the sun, but their fur/wool/feathers have a more natural coloring to different animals. Most are influenced by reptilian colors, but they can have the colors of any animal connected to one of the chosen gods the creator of the character chooses.
Most Greepics at base either have wings or fins. Though 1/5,000 are known to have neither. These ones are known for having one of many different mutations.

Tumblr media
Made a ref sheet of a furry character I just thought of today. Not my usual art app (used Sketchbook on the Chromebook), but it looks nice in my opinion. It's a species I'm thinking of calling a Greepic (Greek+Epic). I have a generalized idea of the species, but I currently do not have the energy to actually create the concept of everything that comes with it. It'll be an open species, but rules with how to make them. The concept of both character and species are primarily based on EPIC: The Musical, but also the greek pantheon.
Anyway, This is Ody, short for Odysseus. I'll create an introduction sheet eventually for all of my anthro characters (My 2 sonas, and this character). His mash up is a Laconian Dog (the breed that may have been what Odysseus' dog was in The Odyssey), a Lion (a few passages in The Odyssey refer to Odysseus as lion-like, but also a nod to Circe), a Boar (Representative of how Odysseus and Athena met), a Snowy Owl (Sacred animal of Athena from what I was looking into), and a Grass Snake (The snake being a call back to Hermes, who is possibly related to Odysseus if I read correctly).
A lot of pieces and all, but I think I hit a happy medium with Ody when it comes to if I made things crowded or not. I hope y'all didn't mind reading me ramble on about a hyperfixation of mine!

Introduction
Hello, I'm Tyr and this is my side blog where I post official information about my original species called Greepics. This post serves two purposes: A hub where I link official information so no one has to scroll through this page to find the information. The other being a mini intro to me and what the species is about.
I am an autistic 21 year old trans man. My hyperfixation on EPIC: the musical, and my love for deities and mythologies is what made me decide to create a species of my own. This was originally made for an anthro character of mine named Ody(sseus), but I wanted to share this expanding species with others as well.
Now, into the meat and potatoes of this post that will be edited as I post the information on the species. This will be added onto as time goes on.
