It is vital that you read all of these rules and follow them!
Before you start:
1. After reading these rules the most important thing are the topics in the 'Must Read' board, as the title implies you should take time to read all of those topics, most importantly the plot.
2.Before you begin roleplaying you must create a character. Head over to the character creation board, the topic titled character creation will help you with submitting your first character. You must wait until his character is accepted before you are allowed to begin roleplaying.
3. This is a semi-literate+ site so you are required to write a minimum of 200 words per post, if you can't do this please do not join! Grammar and spellings must be near to perfect. If you are literate enough to join will be judged by your character form however if you wish you can include a roleplay sample instead.
4. Don't expect to be handed high ranks, unless I have personally RP'd with you before and can trust you will be active and that your posts will of of a high standard you will not be given a high rank with your very first character here. You have to prove that you are worthy of playing a high ranking character by being active. Also do not rank hog, you can't have more than two high ranking characters preferably just one per person.
5. Cursing is fine on this site, being rude and disrespectful to other members is not. Curse as much as you want in and out of character just be polite when talking to or about other members of this site.
6. Please don't use chat speak, by this I mean that its not ok to tlk lyk dis, u r able 2 do btr but saying things like atm,brb or afk are fine.
7. There is an advertising section for a reason, if you want to advertise something then only there, nowhere else on this site please. Ads outside of the advertising section are considered spam and we don't want that here.
Character Rules:
1. There are a few limits on how many characters you can have you will find these in the character creation topic.
2. You may only create wolves unless you have read the topic on getting other species and have the amount of posts required.
3. Please be realistic with your characters, they are not allowed to have any special powers or unrealistic colours! Perfect characters are also unrealistic so make sure to include some flaws when creating your character form.
4. Try to keep genders even, of course they won't always be perfectly even and they don't have to be but having 3 males and 20 females just won't work so if you see that there are too many characters of one gender try to make one of the opposite gender next time you create a character.
5. Please don't have two of your characters be mates with each other, they can be exes if you like though.
Roleplaying Rules:
1. Use word count to make sure your posts are over the 200 word minimum.
2. No power playing or god mod!
3. While it would be fine by me, mature content such as mating and graphic violence is not allowed by proboards so if you want to RP it just take it to PMs.
4. While you don't have to I would prefer if you RP in third character.
5. I strongly encourage romance so its great if your character starts off with a crush. Forbidden love may be against the pack rules but it sure isn't against the site rules!
6. If your characters are having a physical fight get a moderator or admin to judge it for you unless of course you have already decided on the outcome. Remember not to power play! Don't forget while your character can dodge attacks dodging every single attack isn't fair and it is a form of god mod. There are a few exceptions where you may be able to walk out of a fight without a scratch but usually you should leave with at least a few minor wounds. If an experienced full grown wolf is fighting a pup then of course due to the fight being extremely unfair there is a high chance of them inflicting major wounds on the pup while getting away without a scratch.
7. Don't kill anyone else's character without their permission or mine if they have been inactive for a long time.
8. Make sure to mark your thread are 'Open', 'Private' or 'Closed'
9. Liquid time so your character can be in as many threads as you like at once.
Pack rules:
1. While each pack has rules they are not site rules, I would actually encourage you to break them from time to time to keep things interesting.
2. Try to keep things even with the ranks, if there are 8 hunters and only 2 fighters make a fighter.
3. You can start off in a pack or you can join ,its your choice.
4. For now there are only two packs but if at some point both packs have plenty of members you are welcome to start a third. You must gather at least three other people(not three characters) to be in your pack otherwise you will not be allowed to create it.
