The Rules
Yes, rules. The bane of every roleplayer's existence. Nobody ever likes to read through 'em, but they are necessary to bring order to chaos - or to prevent chaos from the outset. Please make sure to read all the rules thoroughly! These rules are updated every now and then. There are multiple replies with rules on this page so make sure you are reviewing ALL of this!
GENERAL!
1. This is the most important rule. Respect. Here, respect is a huge thing. Respect everyone; the staff, the members, the guests, everyone.
2. When registering, you can sign up using any name, though we'd prefer it if you kept it simple and similar to your characters name. As soon as you've registered, change your display name to your characters first and last name, such as John Doe. No punctuation in your display name is allowed, and neither are numbers. Just the name, please.
3. From the day you've registered, you have three days to post an application. Once you've posted it, you have fourteen days to complete it. The applications aren't too long or too hard, so it shouldn't take that long to finish. If you're going to be away and won't be able to finish your application within the allotted time, either PM a staff member or post on your app to say so. If you haven't posted your app after three days, your account will be deleted. If you haven't finished your app after fourteen days, it will be moved to the archives and your account will be deleted.
~After your application has been accepted by the staff it will be moved to the Accepted Characters and locked.
~If you need to access your character profile to edit it in any way you must give a reason and have permission from an Administrator.
4. If you're going to be away for more than a week, please post in the absences board so we know. If you just disappear for two weeks without notice, your account will be deleted.
5. Nobody's perfect and neither is your character. When applying, please give your characters flaws and whatnot. If you want to make sure your character isn't a perfect character, or a Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu, then google Mary-Sue and take the tests that come up!
6. This is a PG-13 site and above, as stated by Proboards ToS. We allow swearing, sex scenes, etc. If your thread contains this then please put in the title [MATURE]. If this is not placed in your title you will be warned. If you continue then your thread will be deleted. If you remake the thread and continue not to listen to the rules then you will be banned for 24 hours.
7. There is no character limit. But you MUST create a new account for every character that you create. This way it keeps everything organized
8. When it comes to ranks, every player is allowed THREE high ranks for their entire group of characters that they play. This keeps is fair. This is three high ranks over ALL.
9. If a contest is made rules can only be changed BEFORE anyone posts and it cannot be canceled once one person posts unless the cancellation is approved by a Lead Admin aka Remycune/Night
10. Have fun! This is all supposed to be a good time for everyone. It's what we're here for at the end of the day, right?
CHARACTER CREATION!
1. When creating your account please make sure you make an OOC account and then when you make your wolf's account use their first name. Your welcome to add their last name later if you want.
2. When filling out the application, make sure to fill out everything. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask a staff member.
3. Your powers are completely up to you! As well as how strong you make them. Tho please keep in mind that when you are creating your abilities/powers don't make it to where your wolf is untouchable. You can make them strong but nothing that breaks the rule of power playing or Godmoding.
4. As your wolf ages you can always add more abilities if you only start out with one or even none.
5. Minimum size for a wolf is 3 feet and max size is 8 feet.
FAMILIAR CREATION
1. Familiars are not required here, but you are welcome to have one!
2. No mythical or extinct creatures (dinosaurs, dragons, etc)
3. Familiars can talk to their companion VIA telepathy but they may also speak normally to other wolves.
4. Yes your familiar may go with another wolf. But just remember in your next thread *if they have not been returned* you wont have your companion in your next thread.
5. No creatures larger then 2.5 feet in height. Nothing Longer then 4 feet (snakes, lizards, Etc) (If you have a creature in mind and are unsure please message a staff member)
ROLEPLAYING!
1. When role playing, please keep in mind we have a minimum word count of 200 words. This is an intermediate to advanced site, so please keep that in mind when joining.
2. Liquid time is allowed here. That means you can be in as many threads in as many different times at one that you want to! Please try to keep it in the same in character month though, which can be found under the setting area of the sidebars.
3. Absolutely no god-modding or power-playing. You should all know what this means, so I won't go into depth about them, but basically no controlling the other person's character and no all-powerful characters. unless given permission
4. We do encourage the use of thread templates to make your posts look more attractive, but they're not necessary. However, using blockquotes at the least is very much appreciated. If you would like to get a template, a good site to try is Adoxy, though you do have to make an account to get the coding.
FIGHTING!
1. Fights can happen on their own or be provoked. You can not kill a character unless given permission. If you have been given permission to Power Play you MUST say so at the very beginning of your post.
BIRTHING!
1. The staff members will decide whether or not your pregnancy was successful. They will pick the number and genders of your babies as well as defects or lack thereof. tho the design is up to the parents.
2. Babies will be chosen by the staff. IE Gender and How many
3. The gestation period for Female is one week. Meaning, you cannot mate and then get pregnant in the next post and be ready to pop. You must wait one real life week before giving birth. You must post in the procreate if you are expecting and Staff will fill it out.
OOC!
1. We encourage people to pop in the discord and say hello, even if you aren't joining! We love to talk and if you want to ask a question there, I'm sure someone will be happy to reply!
2. There is to be no bullying on this site. Absolutely no bullying. If anyone gets wind of any bullying going on or you are being bullied, PM a staff member immediately and the situation will be dealt with.
3. We understand that sometimes people simply clash and you don't get on. In such a case, we would advise you to avoid this person as much as possible. If you find yourselves having to roleplay together, keep it polite, people. Arguing will not be tolerated.
GRAPHICS!
1. Everyone must have either a signature or avatar, though both are better! People would like to know what your character looks like while roleplaying with them!
2. Minimum avatar size is 100x100 and the maximum is 250x400. Anywhere in between is good too!
3. Minimum signature is 400x200 and maximum is 600x400. Anywhere in between is fine.
4. If you can't make graphics, Adoxy is a good site to find pre-mades or to request some yourself! We also have a few artists on the site that will be willing to make graphics as well.
EXTRA RULES!
1. Now if you have, lets say, 5 characters thus meaning you have 5 accounts. You MUST get a minimum of 25 IC posts in order to be able to create a new character. This way it keeps the number reasonable.
2. Rules are subject to change at any given time or moment so make sure to check back often.
LOVE,
the staff!
