FORUM RULES
I. You must comply to all Proboard rules. Players of all ages are allowed, but we generally prefer 13+.
II. No god-modding, power-playing, OP characters, mary sues, etc. Have common sense and courtesy when creating characters and roleplaying.
III. Always be kind to other players OOC. Any conflicts between players should be handled privately. If you can't handle a situation on your own, please contact Burn .
IV. Please do not discuss politics or religion on the site or in the Discord server. Any harassment over someone's religion, sexuality, or gender identity will not be tolerated. Please use people's preferred pronouns. We want everyone to be comfortable here!
V. Be literate! During on-site roleplay, 100+ words per post is preferred. Literate means good grammar, NOT overly flowery vocabulary. Keep the setting and audience in mind. A semi-realistic wolf RP isn't the place for words like fae, oculars, audits, etc.
VI. Try to be active and check in monthly. The more active you are, the more likely you'll be to get plots and character development. We will also have monthly activity checks.
VII. Please don't use art as profile pictures unless you drew it yourself or can prove you have permission (such as screenshots of you being granted permission by the artist). We would also prefer if players found photos that are licensed for free use. You can just use google advanced image search to look for free to use photos, as well as sites like DawnThieves. We won't enforce this but we do prefer it, since there has been amazing wolf photographers who completely stopped sharing their work due to people using their photos in RPs without permission.
VIII. This is a PG-13 roleplay. You can use profanity, but try to keep things to a minimum or put a warning in your post if you're using hard words. There will obviously be some violence as wolves may fight or attack other animals, but don't use excessive gory descriptions. Any sexual content is not allowed! Don't post anything suggestive or explicit on threads, and even doing so in PMs is against Proboard's ToS. Don't talk about inappropriate or illegal things and don't roleplay them.
ROLEPLAY RULES
I. Players can start with up to 10 adult wolves, pups will only be born in spring IC, and then roleplayed however long you like. Pups will grow up and eventually become adults at 2 years of age, but until then they will act like pups and then teenagers.
II. This is a semi-realistic roleplay. Please try to stick to the setting and some amounts of realistic wolf behavior.
III. Wolves can be mates, but no sexual roleplay will be allowed. Mates can be affectionate and have a good relationship, but they can't do anything suggestive or explicit. Any relationship roleplaying should be purely romantic and affectionate with no suggestiveness.
IV. Each player should only have one account. If your account was deleted or disabled due to inactivity, you may create a new one and rejoin the pack.
V. To roleplay, individual threads will be made for each small plotline. This is called Liquid Roleplay. Make sure your threads are in the right location board. Once a thread's plot is done, request a staff member to lock the thread. If a plotline moves to a new location, request the thread to be locked and make a new thread in the new location to continue the plot. For example, if your characters decide to go hunting in the forest on Rimfire Ridge, make a thread in Rimfire Forest called "Hunting Party" or whatever title you think of. Once the hunt is done and all the wolves eat, have a staff lock the thread. (Note: You may be in multiple threads at once.)
CHARACTER CREATION
I. No unrealistic fur colors, like neons, blues, purples, ect.
II. No Mary Sue's or Gary Sue's, in other words perfect characters or characters no one can defeat.
III. All characters must be under 3 foot 8 inch at shoulder, and cannot weigh above 200 pounds.
IV. All characters must physically look like wolves and move like wolves.
V. Please keep unrealistic eye colors to a minimum, we do allow blue, green, and red eyes, along with the carried realistic wolf colors, but colors like pink and purple and such should generally be avoided.
If you have read and understood all of these rules as well as the wolf rules, it's time to create your character! Go to the character application board and post there for each character application.
