Wolf Rules

[/size]

Characters:

- Make your Characters name's fit them, don't have like a dark evil wolf named Sunny, it just dosn't work.
- No wierd colors, please keep it in the range of greys, blacks, whites, tans, brown, and maybe some shades of golds (not like metalic)
- Please keep your charrie to its element, don't have a dark going off and making friends with lights and then having them frolic through the fields. Your wolf may change alignemts, thou this will not happen very often, and if you are interested in you wolf changing, PM me.
- NO wings, elements, jewelry, metal limbs. Note: It is possiable that your wolf has had human contact in the past, but please don't have some beloved house pet prancing through the wilderness, the only things that are ok are small ear tags or a tracking collar, but please don't get carried away.
-New characters MUST be mature wolves ( 3 years at least).

Ranks:

King - The top of each alignment, they control EVERYTHING that goes on in the lands of their alignment.

Queens - The chosen mate of the king. They are the second highest ranking in their pack and must be chosen by the King. Females may not claim land.

Alpha Male - Leader of one of the lower packs or second in command of the King's pack.

Alpha Female - The chosen mate of the Alpha Male.

Beta Male - The second in command of an Alpha led pack or third in command in the King's pack.

Beta Female - Chosen as the Mate of the Beta Male.

Gamma Male - Third in command of an Alpha led pack and fourth in command of the King's land.

Gamma Female - The Gamma Male's chosen mate.

Females - Regular female members of the pack, lower ranked than the normal males.

Males - Regular male members of the pack, higher ranked than the regular female members but lower than the Gamma Male and Female.

Pups - The youth of the pack, any wolf under the age of two.

Omega - The lowest ranked, even lower than pups. They either did something to make the King or Alpha angry or is of the rivaling alignment.

Rankings 2:

- The King has rule over every one on his lands, and gets to deside who can breed and who can not. . He claims the faes for the terra, and can do as he pleases with them.
- The Queen that is chosen by the King has the highest rank of all the faes and brutes her King has claimed.
- The only position that can be fought for is King or Alpha. Once a King is chosen, they can deside who they wish to be their mate, and so on.
- Omegas are the lowest possible rank, and are often just kept to gain power.
-The King or Alpha, can kill any member of his harem, though it results in a loss of power
- If the King or Alpha thinks that a fae of his harem had bred with another male, he has the right to kill the pups, or any pups in the pack
- Beta or Alpha are usually the grown offspring of the King, but if there is none or they are too young he is free to pick any male he pleases.

Village:

- There are three villages, one for each alignment
- The king has control of the village of his alignment
- The alpha has control of his terra

Breedings:

- Wolves mature at 3 years
- Must be done in the breeding grounds
- Can be graphic or none graphic depending on what you want
- The Lord has breeding rights to ALL faes on his terra and in the village of his alignment

Birthing:

- Must be done in the birthing grounds
- Post this for both parents, not for the child.

Name:
Gender:
Eye Color:
Coat Color(s):
Alignment:

NOTE: POST IT IN THE BIRTHING THREAD!, and I (only me) will deside and post the colors, genders, and number of pups. I could also be mean and give them disablities. Muhaha
- Once the pups are birthed, you must post the descriptions I gave you in the 'Puppies' board. You also need to give them a name, alignment, and personality NOTE: ALL new pups MUST have an alignment! If the person who ends up roleplaying that pup doesn't like its current alignment, they can change it later in the pup's life.
- Once they reach 3 years, they are no longer considered pups. Then you will need to make a new account depending on how many pups you wish to roleplay, or post them in Unwanted Characters, and maybe someone will take them.

Fighting:

- Fights can be for faes, ranks, or just that they are angry with each other.
- Just to make sure you read, I made it hard for you to find the code phrase. So here it is: 'And her heart is weeping because happiness is killing here.'
- Everyone must fight in the Fighting Grounds
~If on member of the fight does not reply in over 3 days, they lose.
~The first post by each wolf will have no fighting in it. After that, each wolf will have 5 more posts each to fight.

Seasons:

- Every two weeks is a season
- Every spring, your character ages one year (I will be keeping track of this)
- Breedings can occur in Fall and Spring
- Birthings can occur year round.

Heirs:

If you are a King, and have a male pup, you can make him your heir. No female pups!

- You can have more then one heir
- Once your character dies, your heir gets to be lead
- List them in order of which pup you want to be first in line
- The heir does not have to be related to the lord.

Human Rules[/size]

Ages:

Your human male or female has to be in the range of ages 10-70. I will permit humans to skip time, but they must ask me permission first because I know how long it takes for a human character to age unless you skip some, so yes, pm me for permission.

Houses:

If you wish for your human character to have a house, fill out the application form in the 'Houses' board. And if you wish to move in with someone, please pm me and update me on your characters living arangements.

Capturing Wolves:

The only place you go to capture a wolf is the 'Luonto Forest' board. Your human may not venture on the packs of the wolves, well, unless they want to die, use common sense people.

To capture a wolf, you must either wait for a member with a wolf character to post in the Luonto Forest bored saying that they give permission for their wolf to be captured. But, of course, you need to pm them making sure that they will accept you to capture their wolf. If not, then you might be just making a worthless post.

Other:
