I looked around a bit on this topic, but wanted to be absolutely sure of the answer before acting.
Can we adopt a pet as a placeholder for a free coloration we hope to acquire in the future? In this case, I have a character I'm eager to use, but I have a very specific coloration (blaze) and species (fellox) in mind for him. This coloration doesn't exist for this species yet, but might be added later on. Until then I want to just make this character and get to RPing him.
If or when the coloration I want is made for the species I want this character to be, can I transfer the character over or will he be stuck as the coloration I originally adopted? Also, can I discard the original coloration (since it's a freebie) or will I have to keep it?
