{IC Rules}
The basics
Fantasy wolves post-by-post
There is a 300 word minimum!
Please be literate! Spelling and Grammer counts.
Dictionary.com is an amazing tool.
We are not a beginners RP!
There is Liquid time but please, no more than 4 threads per character unless you are SURE you can keep up and keep them active.
Language
Do not swear every second word. Or it will be banned
Powerplay and God Moding
This is forbidden. Not allowed at all! Do not assume your charrie has the upper hand and control only your characters and noone else's.
Aka, in battle you cannot SAY that your wolf bit down on the shoulder of another. You can say that the wolf lunged for the shoulder, snapping towards the flesh in hopes to catch it in a bite.
Killing
It is allowed in certain situations. During battle when it's obvious a wolf would die it is allowed.
'Rules' with the penalty of death is also allowed. Do not follow the rules? Your charrie will pay the consequences.
In other situations...you can NOT just go up to a random character and kill it without the player's permission!
Challenging
The King may NOT be challenged. Light Pack members can only challenge the Lead Guard or the High Alchemist.
'The Darkness' may not be challenged, but individual Dark Pack leaders may.
The Resistance is a leaderless gang. However there can be fights to prove dominance and superiority within the pack. Seek out the strongest and fight them to gain the title as 'strongest of the Resistance'
There can only be one challenger facing the male leader. (Read 'Females' section below)
There is a 3 day limit throughout the challenge. If the thread sits for 3 days without a valid excuse then the one who posted last would get the rank.
Power play will disqualify either player, and the remaining wolf will be victor and win the title/rank. You will have 1 warning for Power Play, if it is not changed or it happens again, the player who power plays will be disqualified.
Seasons/Moon Phases
There are no 'seasons' in Arkava.
There are 3 moons.
-The Silver Moon circles the planet every day, like our moon.
-The Red Moon goes around once a month! YAY! <3
-The Gold Moon goes around the planet once a year!
When all 3 moons are aligned it's called a 'Turn' or a year! This will be the week of New Years in the Site
The Sun only rises once every 4 months (an earth solstace) and stays risen for 1 week!
Magic makes Night and Day, so no matter if there are moons or the sun in the sky, Night and Day will still be the same as Real Life night and day <3
1 year IC = 4 months OOC
Aging
1 year IC = 4 months OOC
Pups will age every month untill they are two.
1 month OOC = Up to a year IC
2 months OOC = 1 year IC
3 months OOC = 2 years IC
After that they will age on the normal aging track of 4 months ooc = 1 year IC
Offspring
Wolves on Arkava have children like humans. One at a time. Twins/Triples/Quadruplets, ect.... are rare BUT can occur! They can also be bought from the store.
Females will carry their pups for a month and a half OOC time.
Base Colors will be decided by moi with the help of a dice!
All markings/other colors will be the player's choosing.
Dark Pups/Wolves
Any wolves with a dark colored pelt is considered a Dark Wolf. They are considered the spawn of the devil and are watched very carefully by the King.
They can be taken away by a Guard if the King decides.
If you wish for a wolf to be taken away pm me.
But any wolf that the King has eyes on can be taken away.
They will first be collected by a Guard (who can crash any thread of their choosing to take a dark wolf away) and then tried by the king (an open thread for all + the Dark Wolf and the King)
Then the Guard will take them to the Dark Camps.
The Dark Wolf is able to fight against the Guard for their freedom, though that does not save them from being taken away again. (Basically, if you are free...hide 0-o)
The King will only have eyes on your wolf through IC interactions. Basically through Kotza or himself or word of mouth.
None of this has to do with OOC emotions. If you think it does, then bite your tongue because that is so untrue.
Any pup born 'Dark' will be watched. Any sign of aggression (Including playful) will give them a 1 way ticket to the camps.
Females
Pregnant mothers MUST have a male mate during and after their pregnancy until the pup is a yearling.
If the male were to walk out/die the pup, once it is born, will be taken away and given to a 'capable' couple or adopted into the Guard.
The Resistance, however, holds females with the same regard as males
The Dark Pack....varies.
Winged Wolves
They are considered 'Chosen Ones' You may ONLY give your wolf feathery bird wings IF and only if, I, Risa, Admin, gives you specific permission. They are also sold in the store with one quantity for a VERY high price!
Anyone who creates a winged wolf with not have their character accepted until the matter is fixed.
