CHARACTER RULES

[tails//]

CHARACTER LIMITS

01. You may have infinitely many characters, so long as they stay active.

02. If you miss a member activity check, then your character will be removed. If you miss a high position activity check for the 3rd time, your high position character will be removed and considered "dead". If you return and would like your character to be roleplayed, please repost your bio as the appropriate non-high position rank with an updated history. Please PM me or another admin if you have questions.

03. Adopted characters don't require bios, but you must post in the appropriate character tracking thread (the allegiances for the clan/the roster)

04. You may have two Leader/Deputy/Medicine Cat (Apprentice) positions, but only one in each area like leader/medicine cat, or deputy/medicine cat apprentice ect. No two positions can be apart of the same grouping ex, leader and deputy. Also, you cannot hold two high positions in the same clan.

05. As for naming rules, please generally adhere to this site. Generally speaking we are pretty lenient when it comes to naming, but we will not hesitate to ask you to change a character's name if we find it inappropriate.

06. Kit litters, and special traits (mental/physical disabilities, and other abnormalities), must be purchased from the site store.

These rules are subject to change at any time.

IN CHARACTER RULES

01. The minimum word count for each post is 100 words. This is to give others something to post off of in a reply.

02. Roleplay in the third person. Also, chatspeak is not allowed in character.

03. To be able to roleplay a character, you must finish a completed bio, get it accepted, and post in the Taken Names/Clan Roster thread located here.

03. No powerplaying or godmodding. This means that you character can't be invincible in battle (godmodding) and also that you can't control/play any characters besides your own (this includes specifying your attacks landing in battle.)

04. No other animals besides cats can be played outside of the predator's account without special circumstances in play.

05. Cats don't know about dragons and that sort of thing, and only kittypets and loners will know about some twoleg things - so keep your names and terminology within their knowledge.

06. Liquid time is allowed. This means if you are in one thread and want that character to be in another thread, you can, and if they got injured in one and you wish to have the cat have that injury in the other thread you may so long as it's in the future since the first thread.

07. You cannot join as a pregnant queen - however, joining as a kit with NPC parents is acceptable.

08. If you create an apprentice character, you should post in the mentor and apprentice section requesting a mentor and talk to members in the cbox. Most of the time members will have cats willing to mentor, worse case pm and admin and we will sort it out. Once you find a mentor, either the roleplayer or the apprentice or the roleplayer of the mentor must post here so that we know the apprentice is being properly trained.

09. For an apprentice to become a warrior, you must have one training thread with your mentor, and must be at least 12 moons.

10. Leaders, Medicine Cats and Medicine Cat Apprentices are the only ones with contact to StarClan except in special circumstances. Currently no one as per the plot is able to reach Starclan.

11. Only you can kill your characters, not another member. You may plot out deaths but you cannot kill another person's cat.

12. Unless part of an admin-approved plot, reincarnation cannot occur.

13. Graphic mating or battle is not allowed.

14. Cross-clan mating is not allowed unless it has been purchased from the site shop.

15. Rogues/Loners/Kittypets cannot join the Clans unless under special circumstances. Pm an admin.

16. Blind and deaf cats will absolutely not be permitted to assume warrior status unless part of a plot or other special situation. Pm an admin.

17. Changing Clans is completely forbidden unless under special circumstances, such as banishment. The leader of said clan must accept the clan cat into the clan in OOC [out-of-character] Changing clans must also be purchased from the site shop.

18. Roleplayers of a couple expecting cannot choose appearances, genders, or any dysfunctions their kittens may be born with. Kittens are to be purchased from the site shop and the RPers pool their points together to purchase a certain number of kittens from the shop -- from 1-5. This does not assure the parents that their kittens are born alive, however. In the animal world, the tragedies of stillborns are common realities. See "General Rules/Cbox Rules/ Site Store Rules" for further information.

19. No cat can have the same name, and only two cats per clan can have the same prefix. Only 3 cats in the site's entirety can have the same prefix.

20. One month real time = 2 moons added to a character's age. A small MPM will be sent out and the taken names roster will be updated once this happens.

These rules are subject to change at any time.
