Rules | Children of Wolves

General

.Any fighting/bullying OOC will not be tolerated ; Multiple warnings will result in punishments such as suspension and in extreme cases banning.

Current administration :: Metalhead

.No copying anyones unique 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.

.We currently have a character cap of 30 characters per player. If you have exceeded your character limit, you will have to delete one off the site for every new one you wish to join.

.All characters wolf forms are giant wolves, not wolf-beast humanoids.

.No god-modding/power-playing (exception is trespassing ; see Herds for more)

.Seasons are realistic and pass in real time.

Bloodlines

.Every werewolf has a specific Bloodline if born from imprinted parents. If you're not sure of something, please ask!

.Hybrids can only be born.

.Hybrids cannot produce children with more than two bloodlines.

Packs

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

.To have a pack up and running and a claim finished, at least three adult werewolves must be allowed into the lands.

.Challenging a pack will be done on the pack page, and that is where the fight will undergo.

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

.All players are allowed three Alphas at a time.

.Once you join a pack, you're sworn to that Alpha or Alphas.

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

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

.Only Alphas can grant rankings to their pack members.

.Alphas can take prisoners from other packs during a raid/war or even outsiders.

.Alphas can establish laws and warrants among the pack, bringing in a wanted pack could grant you a higher ranking depending on the Alphas wishes.

.A challenge cannot be refused.

.To win a pack challenge you must beat the Alpha in combat twice.

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

.Only adults may take rankings.

.Alphas can set down laws for their pack lands and make alliances with other packs.

Combat

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

.If a pack was challenged for and the thread has not been replied to by a player for a week from the last post, the other player becomes the winner.
.Any combat can undergo anywhere, but combat still must be judged for unless it's for training purposes.

.To keep it fair, apply these sheets to your posts and fill them out as you go in combat, keep it fair and remember no power playing ::

Half Dodges :: {0/2}

Full Dodges :: {0/1}

No Dodge :: {0/1}

Full Hit :: {0/1}

Half Hit :: {0/2}

Missed Hit :: {0/1}

Damage ::

Raids

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

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

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

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

.Only adults may raid.

Wars

.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.

.Like challenges, wars can be held anywhere.

.Wars can be started over almost anything, but it must be announced at a pack meeting held in your packs lands.

.Only adults may fight in a war.

Mating
.Mates are different from Imprints.

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

.Mating can take place all year, and any mating will result in a chance of offspring!

.Let Administration know to roll for you if your characters are trying for offspring!

.Offspring cannot be produced on the site without rolling from Administration, but offspring can be joined in their own separate "litter" born off-site.

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

.Any offspring must be joined and accepted before they can be birthed.

.Birthing of offspring can be posted a month after conceived.

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

.Be sure to let us know on the Updates board if your werewolf 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 can still have a chance of reproducing.
.Mating between an Imprinted pair will guarantee offspring with Bloodlines.

Imprinting
.When your character is involved in a thread with a character of their desired gender a rolling is done to see if they're imprinted onto your character.
.Imprinting cannot be done on your own characters together unless you ask for it to be for a set to be rolled.
.Imprinting is not applicable for characters blood related to your characters.
.The difference between Imprints and Mates is that Imprints are a more "destined" path, most packs chose to honor the fate over the will or want of being mates with someone else. When Imprinted, it becomes known to everyone - A scent will change with the character.
.Mating between an Imprinted pair will guarantee offspring with Bloodlines.
.Imprinting cannot be declined (unless bought) and will forever be present, but it does not have to be honored by either Imprinted character.
.Characters cannot be joined already Imprinted unless confirmed by Administration.
