RULES;;

[Shiloh]

These are the site rules, read them, know them, follow them. Our moderators and admins are on the lookout for people. There are consequences and our mods are left to decide what is appropriate for the severity of the action.

• We'd prefer you to refrain from cussing in each sentence. It is allowed both in and out of character, but only minimally. For those whose parents are strict about swearing then you have the option of modifying your own censored words. You'll find this by going to your own profile; it'll be at the end of the list where you can modify your profile.
  
• Be respectful to those around you; IE. regular members, guests, and staff.
  
• No roleplaying OOC [out of character], that's just missing the point of OOC. However, there is a board for random roleplaying in the OOC boards.
  
• Nothing inappropriate, and by that, you should know what we mean. We shouldn't have to explain this.
  
• Part one of the pass. is 'ik'.
  
• No talk of religion or beliefs, it's okay if it's mentioned like once in a blue moon, but we'd prefer no whole chats about it, because it can and most likely will, lead to conflict.
  

- In Character -

• You may roleplay in either 1st or 3rd person at any time with any character. You can switch back and forth, however, if you switch to and from within a roleplay please be courteous and say that you are so as not to confuse the other people.
  
• We go by liquid time, which means you may play a character in more than one place at a time^^
  
• Cursing is quite allowed in character. If you wish to be courteous to other members, put an Astrix, '*', in the way of the content. Again, that is optional.
  
• Second part of the password is 'un'.
  
• OOC chats are allowed as long as it isn't JUST OOC.
  
• No roleplaying until your character is approved.
  
• Please write some form of 'ooc' before going out of character or use parenthesis before hand.
  
• You may own to as many characters as you wish^^ <333
  
• If you loose muse for a character, just don't throw him or her out, please put him or her up for adoption for another chance^^
  
• We allow People, Wolves, & Were's on this site only. We now allow vampires but only by way of being bitten by one of the few we're starting out with.
  
• Post in size 1 font, please.
  

- Claiming -

• Alphas and betas are the only ones to be able to claim a wolf to a territory.
  
• Alphas may not just give away a part to a wolf immediately. Please let them be in the pack for a day real time before saying anything about that.
  
• You don't have to be immediately claimed into a pack, you can go ahead and roleplay anywhere in the free lands.
  
• Best way to get accepted: Go into a pack with UTMOST respect, and be cautious. Leaders like loyal obedient wolves. Those wolves will probably most likely be given a higher rank than others.
  

- Breeding -

• Mates are not always mates for life. Males have the right to leave as well as Females.
  
• Forcing is allowed, if your wolf goes into the Force Breeding lands, then you are not allowed to ask for them not to. If you didn't want it, then next time don't walk into the forcing lands.
  
• We prefer no descriptive breeding. If you do, you may, but be courteous, and put like an indicator or something...
  
• The next part of the password is 'ma'.
  
• Pups can die easily: This is the mothers choice. She feeds them and takes care of them. Their death is a HUGE deal in a pack. All will mourn.
  
• Pups and newly mates are a huge deal in the pack as well, it's a miracle.
  
• No entering the mother's cave or approaching her pups without given permission, or you are the alpha of the wolf's pack, who may choose to even kill one or more of the pups if they do not approve or feel they may have vices.
  
• Characters of the same person may not mate with each other. It's just that it's kind of defeating the whole purpose of wolves falling in love with each other. And it'll be kind of lonely roleplaying on your own between the both. If you want them to be because you don't want to have a graphic relationship, a very minimal description, then just tell the other player be as least descriptive as possible if they want puppies.
  
• Parents are welcome to create their pup's stats if they'd like, but there is also the option to have one of the staff make them too. If you'd like us to make them then create a thread in the general board saying so.
  
• Parents can choose to put the pups up for adoption or keep any number of them.
  
• Humans can't have children, please. People may fall in love, but this is a were-wolf based RPG, and most people will end up were's. Only wolves & were's may have children.
  
• Wolves & were's may fall in love, but were's must be wolves to mate.
  
• Were's must be wolves at the time of mating.
  

- Fighting -

• Last part of the password: 'ko'.
  
• No powerplaying. Example of not powerplaying: They grabbed at the wolf's fur. Example of powerplaying: They grabbed the wolf's fur and ripped off it's throat.
  
• No Godmoding, IE. controlling the surroundings.
  
• Any kind of fighting, just obey the rules.
  
• You may dodge as many times as you want in a fight, but be realistic: Do not make your wolf super strong and amazing at fighting, when they've never fought before, this may result in a warning.
  
• It's considered to be Godmoding when the person says they they were preparing to give a hard bite, and you saying it barely hurt.
  
• Seriously, if a wolf locked jaws on another's neck, then consider yourself dead.
  
• Your wolf cannot just "pull away" if the other person writes it's jaws are "locked." If they don't write they locked, feel free to pull away.
  
• Broken bone in a body part is serious damage. Consider the fight over, but it's still possible for you to win- 2 breaks, I suggest you be on your knees and beg.
  
• Fights may get as graphic as the player wants, unless the other person asks for little description.

Vampires:

• Not everyone can be a vampire. There are only seven main vampires, three males and four females. The feed only on animals, and no animal is too great for a vampire to take down. They have heightened sight, strength, speed, smell, etc.
  
• The small coven of vampires are allowed anywhere except the Were territories. Newborns, or freshly bitten vampires, must stay in their designated territory.
  
• Vampires cannot have children. When a human is bitten, they are stuck that way. They don't age, example, if you were bitten when you were 35, then you would forever look thirty five.
  
• Vampires do have mates; usually relationships are formed with one another inside a coven, but there have been instances where a vampire has had a human mate. Needless to say, that didn't end very well.
  
• A vampire may not associate with a Were.
