Please do not join if you know you won't be on at least once a week. It is very frustrating waiting a week for others to reply to your posts when you've made a thread with them. And absolutely do not make a high rank character if you are not going to be on at least twice a week; I need my high ranks to be active members.
OOC
1. I don't mind swearing, just not every other word, you know? And also, no swearing at other people, ever. Swearing every now and then is fine, for emphasis purposes or, w/e.
2. Please only talk ooc in the ooc boards, that is why I made them! If you must use it in IC boards, keep it short and use ((this)) or [[this]] or SOMETHING to indicate that it is ooc.
3. Absolutely no fighting with another user. It's perfectly fine for your characters to fight, but not you as an actual person. If you must 'debate aggressively' shall we say, over a topic, please go to PMs. If you have conflicts with someone who won't leave you alone, just tell me and I'll deal with it. If you're problem is with me, then tell me and I'll try to fix it, however, if I can't, then I guess you'll have to deal with it or leave, sorry.
4. Only one account per person, please. If I find out you have more than one account, I will delete it. There's really no need to have more than one account since you can have as many characters as you want.
5. For your display name, choose your main character that you're going to be playing and call yourself that just to make it simpler, if you don't really have a main character, then just use the first one you made. I just think it's really annoying on some sites where people have display names that have absolutely nothing to do with anything, like ZacFanGurl or something stupid like that, so if you'd follow this rule, you will keep from annoying me I guess. ^.^ Thank You.
6. If you plan on making more than one character, please assign each character a color and put their name in your signature. Keep putting names with different colors in your signature until you can't fit anymore, then post in the Too Many Characters! board following the form I posted there.
Characters
1. You can have as many characters as you want. HOWEVER, if you cannot keep up with them all, I will ask you to put one or more up for adoption or just delete them. By 'keeping up with them' I mean at least one post a week with EVERY character. One a week is not much to ask.
2. This might be confusing, so pay attention. I'll try my best to explain it clearly:You may have either a Faction Leader, Second in Command, Capital Healer, or Teller or Apprentice, but not one of each or two of these, ONLY ONE
You can have one other Healer, either Apprentice, Village Healer, or FreeHealer, but if you play a Capital Healer, your other Healer must be from a different faction
You can have ONE Advisor, but if you have a Faction Leader, Second in Command, or Teller or Apprentice, your Advisor MUST be in a different faction
You can have ONE Village Leader, but if you have a Faction Leader, Second in Command, Advisor, or Teller or Apprentice, they must be in a seperate faction
You can have TWO Senior Warriors, but they must be from seperate villages. Also, if you play a Village Leader, neither of them can be from the same village as the Village Leader either. However, they CAN be from the same faction.
You can have as many Elders, Warriors, Apprentices, and Children as you want.
3. Your characters can break the Faction Laws as much as they want, this doesn't mean that they won't get punished for it by their leaders.
4. On to the matter of mothers and children and mates and what not. No character should have more than about 3 children at a time, and really, the norm is usually one, with twins being a fairly common occurance among them. As to fur/feather/scale colors, the mother gets to decide what all of her children look like and they do not have to have any resemblance what-so-ever to their parents if you really don't want them to, but they should probably have at least one similar trait. The mother also gets to name them all without input from the father unless she asks for it. Unless the father wants to play one, then the father can decide the name and what it looks like. The mother gets to decide for the majority though. Also, if there are children that neither the mother nor the father wants to play, then it is the mother's job to put them up for adoption in the adoption boards and choose who gets to play them. There will be NO, nd I repeat, NO breeding between Factions... it just isn't genetically possible. Your characters can have mates from other Factions but under no circumstances will they ever be able to have children if that it the case. This is yet another thing that is looked down upon.
5. Sorry, but at least for the time being, no one will be allowed to play a deceased character. I will allow it at a later point, once we have more members, but not right now.
6. Age Guide:
Children: 0-15 years
Apprentices: 16-about 21 years (for Tellers, 16-until the previous Teller retires or dies)
Warriors: no less than 21 years
Senior Warriors and Advisors: about 84 years and up
Elders: over 150 years
Leaders and second in commands should be no less than 22 years old, but should probably be older.
Keep age in mind when deciding if your characters should have already had children. Mothers should probably be no younger than 21 or 22, after they have already finished their apprenticeship and can focus on raising a family. Zarionites look down on those mothers who have given birth before finishing their apprenticeship and also upon the fathers of the children they bear. No character should be older than about 200, that's about the age limit for Zarionites, give or take a couple years, maybe up to a decade or so.
7. Magical powers, wings, 'unnatural' fur/feather/scale colors:
Considering the fact that this is an ELEMENTAL ANTHRO roleplaying site, yes, you cn have magic powers. HOWEVER, no character can have more than ONE elemental power, meaning Fire, Water, Air, or Earth, ONLY ONE AND NOTHING ELSE. At least not yet *evil grin* Also, each of the four Factions has its own element and can not have power over any other element. The Draconian are ONLY able to control Fire, the Leonine are ONLY able to control Earth, the Falco are ONLY able to control Air, and the Wolvhen are ONLY able to control Water. Meaning, if you still don't get it, no Wolvhen can control Fire, no Draconian can control Air, etc. etc. DO NOT try to make a character that can control an element that is not it's designated Faction element because I'm warning you right now I'm just going to delete any bios I see like that.
Wings are allowed, but ONLY for Falco and dragon-type Draconian. Also, I am limiting the amount of dragon-type Draconian because I do not want to the whole Draconian race to be made up of dragon-types, there can be snake and lizard types too, alligators, crocodiles, komodo dragons, geckos, anoles, cobras, vipers, constrictors, even turtles and frogs(yeah, I know their amphibeans, but I don't care, they're still part of the Draconian). No one will be allowed to have more than ONE dragon-type Draconian. ABSOLUTELY NO Wolvhen or Leonine are allowed to have wings, but ALL Falco have wings.
Your character can be pink with purple polka dots for all I care, ANY COLOR IS POSSIBLE for fur/feathers/scales.
IC
1. Swearing in character is perfectly fine with me, your characters can swear at other people's characters all they want as long as they don't go overboard or I might limit swearing IC A LOT.
2. Zarionites (the characters you will be playing) DO NOT talk like this: "OMG, dude! I like, can't like, believe it!" I call this ValleyGirl Speak, and your characters will NEVER do this or I will delete any and all posts in which they do. I don't want to see any characters speaking even relatively close to that....
3. Guns and other modern weaponry, as well as cars, computers, TV, radio, and what not, do not exist on Zarion. Small bombs like hand granades and slightly larger are possible through majik and also through primitive bomb making arts, but they are not usually used by any but the Draconian, sometimes the Falco and very rarely the Leonine, NEVER by Wolvhen as it is considered extremely dishonorable.
4. Posts must be at LEAST 200 words long, which is about one paragraph with SEVEN WELL WRITTEN sentences. I have added the word count code to the site, it is below the submit post, preview, spell check, and reset buttons, so there should be no excuses for not reaching 200 words. Seven well written sentences is NOT that hard. I usually get at least three of four paragraphs of them on some of the sites I'm on. And don't think I won't check if it doesn't look quite long enough because I will and you, my friend, will get a warning each time you fall below the mark. When your warning meter reaches full, I shall ban you for three days. If you continue after that, the banning will get longer until I just ban you forever at a certain point:
1st-3 days
2nd-5 days
3rd-7 days/1 week
4th-2 weeks
5th-1 month
6th-Forever
