Principles of behavior
With freedom comes certain guidelines to uphold. Without rules, it puts us in jeopardy of dealing with the possibility of chaos. Now chaos through the role playing world can tend to be exciting but it’s not exactly encouraged through the out of character community. So I am placing these guild lines for one and all to follow. Please be sure to read them carefully. Any questions please feel free to question the staff.
General Rules
1. First, the staff here are extremely dedicated to its members. Those who communicate with each other to dispute anything that could or would be harmful towards the site. We are your guardians. Looking out for your benefits and keeping your freedoms alive. Please show us the respect that is due. If only for our ranks and not our personalities. Personal respect must be earned, not given. If you disrespect a staff member who is doing their job correctly. Then you will be facing possible administrative punishment. So please be pleasant and respectful.
2. In order to keep things simple, you are authorized to create one account. Please name this account by the name you go by on this site. Your account can hold multiple characters and please annotate them in your signature so we know who plays each character.
3. You are allowed a total of 7 characters to start with. After that, you must purchase others from the shop. This rule does not apply to adoptions.
4. Please be on your best behavior. If you have gripes, take it to PM. I don’t want any spamming or fighting in the chat box. If a fight occurs you will receive one warning. To take the fight outside the chat box and continue over PM or any other means. If you disregard the warning. You will be temporarily banned from the chat box. One day sentence. No if, and, or buts about it.
5. Please try not to take the role play personally. If one character hates the other, that doesn’t mean the actual role player hates the other. So don’t get all bent out of shape if things become aggressive in the role play. You can’t always control how your character is going to react to certain situations.
6. Most important of all! Have fun! This site is to be an escape from reality! A place you can enjoy and come to get away from all the RL issues.
In Character World:
1. God-moding is in no way authorized. This includes, Power-playing, auto-hitting, meta-gaming. Here are some definitions for you to comprehend exactly what each is.
2. Liquid time is allowed and encouraged. Sometimes our everyday life can get in the way of responding. If you are bored and wish to continue to role play then you may use liquid time. Make sure that if events are going to affect the character personally you either use the liquid time for the after affect or beforehand.
3. Give your characters creative personalities and appearance. Difference is the key here. We want to explore all kinds of personalities’. From shy to aggressive and from evil to somewhat unsure of their sexuality.
4. Your characters sexuality is open for you to decide. We are welcomed to all sexual types.
5. This is a fantasy site; however, I don’t want to see too many extremist here. Appearances may be altered and disfigured but don’t go overboard.
6. Hybrids are welcome. But they must be a wolf hybrid mix. Use subtleties to explain their hybrid nature. Like a change of fur to feathers to give it a bird like appearance but still maintain its wolf charm. Or horns and altered hoofs but nothing crazy please.
7. Odd colors are welcomed. Pink wolves, orange wolves, tiger stripes are all welcome. Wings are allowed however you must you a good reason if they can be used for flight. Example, air elemental. That uses the air to shift its body into a weightless appearance. This would allow the use of the wings. Or hallow bones. That is ONLY if they are used for flight. If they are simply used as a shield then no explanation is necessary.
8. Powers are also welcome to an extent but with all powers come a weakness. Please read the power section of the information board to uncover further rules for these.
9. Force breeding is welcome. If you are going to role play it out, then please place a warning. Both parties must consent to this act. Also, not always does pregnancy happen. It must be during the breeding season for pups to be created and not even then are they a guarantee.
10. Pup napping is also allowed and encouraged for plot purposes.
11. If you wish to challenge an alpha for their rank you must be aware that this could be fatal to your character. The alpha wolves are more powerful than just simple pack wolves. They have gained their rank with experience and fighting expertise. Your fight must be formal and will be judged by staff members. If you feel there is any unfairness to who won the pack, then you will be open to dispute the issue. There will be a site poll for the other members to judge the fight and pick that they see as the winner between skill and moves. Defense isn’t the best way to go and points are deducted. Be aware, if the alpha wins this fight, then your wolf could be subjected to death or exile. Your permission must be granted and death must be decided before the fight occurs. If you lose, your character dies or is exiled. Make sure to specify that before the fight!
12. Please use proper grammar and spelling. We all have our bad days but try to keep everything somewhat correct. We’re not asking for much.
13. We have a posting minimum of 150 words. This isn’t much and I’d recommend making your posts slightly longer but if you cannot muster up more than 150 words we will understand. Writers block has a tendency of hitting even the best of us.
Ranks:
1.If you are a holder of a high rank. you are required to log into the site and post, at least once a week. If you are missing and leave no notice of absence then you will face demotion. So if your home life or school life are affecting your ability to be on then please post in the away thread.
2.You may also only hold two high ranks with in the site. example: One beta rank, One council rank.

In Character World:
1. God-moding is in no way authorized. This includes, Power-playing, auto-hitting, meta-gaming. Here are some definitions for you to comprehend exactly what each is.
- God-moding: This is you saying that your character is like a god. That nothing can harm it or kill it. This is not true. Yes, our characters can survive some things that normal wolves could not but they are not always immortal. And even the ones who are still hold some sort of weakness that either can hinder then in some way or kill them.
- Powerplaying: This is when you create the affects of the other persons character. This often happens in fights were you don’t allow the other opponent to explain their characters reaction to an assault. Do not say any of your hits made it. You must give the person the opportunity to react and defend themselves in their next post or allow said move to hit but it is up to that person, not you.
- Meta-Gaming: Using out-of-game information, or resources, to affect one's in-game decisions. This means your character cannot know all. Yes, they may catch wind of possible plotting but it must be role played out. Not simply said. Oh he knows what’s going on.
2. Liquid time is allowed and encouraged. Sometimes our everyday life can get in the way of responding. If you are bored and wish to continue to role play then you may use liquid time. Make sure that if events are going to affect the character personally you either use the liquid time for the after affect or beforehand.
