Amongst Ashes Arose

General

.No copying any character designs.

.Swearing is allowed on the site and discord, just don't be rude ooc.

.All characters made by a player on this site belong to the player themselves, therefore if you ever chose to leave the site you can always retract your characters with you without fear they'll be continued on against your wishes.

.Character limit on this site is set to 25, name claims do not count towards that character limit.

.No god-modding/powerplaying (exception is trespassing ; see Packs for more)

.This is a semi-realistic Lion rpg, there will not be any magic.

Prides

.All prides are open for claiming unless already claimed, if you want said pride you must challenge for it.

.Challenging a prides will be done on the pridelands page, and fought out at the borders.

.Challenging a pride does NOT give you permission to enter the pridelands if you're not already a member of it.

.All players are allowed two Royal adults at a time.

.Once you join a pack, you're sworn to that King or Queen.

.The only ways to disband from a pride is to either be banished for a crime, released by the King/Queen on neutral terms, or be forcefully removed by the King/Queen or ranked member.

.Trespassing can result in warning by the King/Queen or ranked members and be forced back to the borders. In cases of challenging the King/Queen for their title, this is still trespassing. You may wait outside the border and call for the King/Queen. Only in the sense of trespassing is power playing allowed, and if the trespasser has already been warned once any ranked Lion has full permission to take the trespassers life.

.Only Kings/Queens can grant rankings to their pridemates.

.Kings/Queens can take prisoners from other prides during a raid/war or even outsiders.

.Kings/Queens can establish laws and warents among the pride, bringing in a wanted lion could grant you a higher ranking depending on the Kings/Queens wishes.

.A challenge cannot be refused.

.To win a pride challenge you must beat the King in combat once, and Queen in combat once.

.To keep a pride active, one post a month should be made by any member.

.Only teens and up may take rankings.

.Kings/Queens can set down laws for their packlands and make alliances with other prides.

Combat

.When you post any sort of non-training combat, inform administration to moderate and judge.

.If a pride was challenged for and the thread has not been replied to by a player for a week from the last post, the other last to post wins.

Full Dodges :: {0/1}

No Dodge :: {0/1}

Full Hit :: {0/1}

Half Hit :: {0/2}

Raids

.Raids can only take place once a month by each pride.

.Raiding a pride creates an enemy pack, and therefore can spark war.

.Raids allow you to take other lions, food, or any special items you wish - Get in and get out to succeed.

Raids are excluded from trespassing and allowance of powerplaying, but the pack being raided can still fight back and potentially fight off the raiding pack.

.Only adults and teens may raid.

War

.Wars do not always have to mean battling until the last side alive wins, that's up to the players. Be sure to discuss it with your friends OOC before rushing into battle so there is no confusion.

.Wars can take place on either fighting pridelands page.

.Wars can be started over almost anything, but it must be announced at a pride meeting held in your packlands.

.Only adults may fight in a war.

Hunting

.Hunting can only take place anywhere on no mans lands.

.Ask anyone to play the prey for you if you need it.

.Prides can hunt together, but must have someone play the role of the prey.

Mating

.Mating and being someones mate is not for life, you can call it off or add drama and cheat.

.Mating can happen all year with the chance of producing cubs any time mating takes place.

.Please note, conception is a 60% chance in any mating session, unhealthy pups can be produced (stillborn, blind, deaf, etc.), and the mothers health may be effected from birth with the rolling.

.Let Metalhead know to roll for you if your characters are mating so she can roll for cubs!

.cubs cannot be produced on the site without rolling from Metalhead, but cubs can be joined in their own separate litter born off-site.

.If you have cubs that were rolled for and no one to play them then ask around if anyone would adopt one as a character!

.All cubs must be joined and accepted before they can be born.

.Your characters mate does not have to reside in the same pride as you if they do not wish to.

.Be sure to let us know on the Updates board if your lion has a new mate so we can add it to the members board.

.When mating, you have the choice to play out the scene or skip over, but you must put [M] in the subject of any sexual scenes. If skipped over then simply imply with a "fade in, fade out" kind of deal.

.Any non consensual mating (implying forced mating) must also have [M] and if in Winter can still have a chance of reproducing.

Joining
