[x][x][x]Rules Rules[x][x][x]
1. No god-moding or power playing. God-moding is when you make your character, the strongest, the best, the prettiest, the biggest, or anything that makes you better than anyone else. Godmoding is also saying you always dodge attacks so you never get hurt, or saying nothing can hurt you. God-moding is only allowed if you are a ghost, and more of that will be explained later. Power playing is when you attack someone and say it hit or killed them. It is always up to the other person to decide if your attack hit or not. For example,
Powerplay:
She jumped at her opponent and bit his neck hard enough so he couldn't get away and felt his jugular break in her mouth.
Not Powerplay:
She jumped at her opponent and hoped to bite his neck as she opened her mouth...
Also
Godmoding:
He dodged all the attacks with ease, and when he was bit it didn't hurt him, so it was like nothing had happened and killed his opponent with one fell swoop of his paw..
Not Godmoding:
He dodged one attack, but she was too fast, it hit him. He cried out in pain anf felt that he was bleeding but snapped at the other wolf's side, hoping to fend her off.
God-moding and power-playing are both very unfair and mostly ridiculous. And it can spread to things that don't have to do with fighting. Like saying you're wolf is the king of all wolves, or any kind or royalty or deity. You cannot sy your character is prettier than all the others, and you cannot control who is mate's with who. Just remember you are a small part of this world. Not the center of it.
So remember, they can hit you, you can hit them. Keep things fair. Post your fighting in the Dark Clearing if you want an admin to judge the winner.
2. No killing other members without their permission. This is also power-play. You will have to get permission from the person you want to die and the Azriel before you actually go kill them.
3. Please post with your character in THIRD person. The means he, she, they, and use PAST tense.
4. Create a character according to the character template, if you do not use the template, you will not be accepted until you do.
5. Do not post anywhere on the site until you've been accepted, except for the general boards and cbox. *bloodypaws*
6. Have a separate account for each character. I expect all accounts to be active. If you cannot keep them active then let me know and I will delete them or you can put the character up for adoption on the Character Adoption board. Post the character's profile there and see if anyone wants to play them. If you are looking for a character on the adoption board and find one you want. You must pm the person to ask them if there if you can have that character (that person may have standards for people applying for their character), once that person has approved it. Pm me and it will give the account over to you via email.
7. Packs:You must have a least three characters in a group before applying to make them a pack. If a character should die or leave a pack and the number after is less then three then it is still acceptable as a pack. Please tell me about your pack so I can create a board for it. Also, if you are joining a pack that has already been made you must submit to the alpha and be accepted by them before you can be considered a member of that pack, then pm Azriel so I can add your name to that pack's members board.
Also, you cannot join with an npc pack. If your character was part of a pack, then you must explain why they are not with that pack anymore in their history before your character arrives in the valley. If you wish to be part of a pack from the start without roleplaying it out, then pm that packs alpha and Azriel to see if you can be a part of that pack. Make sure you have already created your profile so that the alpha knows what kind of wolf they are accepting.
8. When creating a character it must be a wolf or a human. Though there are two forms for the wolf because the humans in the city don't really accept them as animals. So they have a human form too. The character if a wolf has only the two forms, full wolf and full human. A human is obviously just that. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
9. Fighting: If it's a fight between members please take to to pm. That includes the cbox. Either the character's fight will decided among themselves the winner, or you may pm one of the admins to judge the fight and see who wins. Do your fighting in Bloody Pool Ridge for the In Character fighting.
10. Mating: No XXX or rated R stuff here, keep it simple. If you must go through all the perverted details, take it to pm.
11. Pups: Now I know the facts, but for the purposes of this rp, no one may have more than three children. You made breed in human or animal form. When you are having pups, pm one of the admins and they will decide how many pups you get, what gender, and if they have any illness. (blindness, deafness, ect.)
12. Death: if a character dies, you may apply to become a ghost. Either someone can ask for you (and I will check to see if that's what you want) or you may apply. You may not join as a ghost. When you are a ghost, you cannot harm other characters and they cannot harm you. You no longer have a rank in any pack, nor can you mate or have pups.
13. This rp is set in modern times. So in the city, you may talk about anything modern, sports, anime, music, whatever. Keep in mind that those from the forest would not know about these things.
14. Mates and pups: any mates you have must be a member of this forum. Do not create a character with an npc mate. If your character has a mate that died in the past, and now doesn't have one then please make that clear in the "mate" section of your profile. You may not start out with pups.
15. Please, only one character at a time, don't create an entire horde of wolves that you intend to play all in the same post. One post, one wolf. Unless you have no more than two characters that never leave each other's side, just keep it simple.
16. No mass posting on the character registration board.
In other words, no posting comments on every single character on the site. It isn't fair to the new members who get overlooked due to mass posting, and it's also annoying. So please, it you feel the absolute desire to post on every single one then wait a few days between your mass posting to that the system has a chance to tell me who is new and who is not. It gives members a better chance of being accepted sooner, and it's less of a headache for me.
17. No one line posts. Try to make them at least five sentences or 50 words. I understand low muse and how it's hard to put that much in a post when you're just talking to someone, but be courtieous and put in the effort of writing a post that is decent in length. The only excection to the five sentence rule is in the OOC posts.
18.Aging. You may join as one of four ages: pup, teen, adult, or elder. You may stay at that age as long as you want, but you can only age your character if they have been at one age for at least a month. If you like you can follow the season's listed on the title bar on the right side. If your character is an elder, and you want him or her to die of natural causes, you may still apply to play a ghost. Ghosts can appear as any age.
19. And most importantly have fun! If I catch someone breaking the rules you will be warned, but careful, too many offenses and you will be banned.
20. Now, highlight this post to find the password. You must put it next to your name in your character profile or you will not be accepted. Look hard.
