general ooc
Proboards ToS states that all members must be 13 years or older
We request that cursing is kept moderately toned down.
Please respect and be nice to everyone, whether you want to or not.
Bring all problems to the attention of a staff member.
Do not bring ic into ooc, its not taken well.
This is a realistic wild wolf rpg, therefore only wolves and only of the natural sort. Therefore, no magical powers or exotic colors.
We do not tolerate racism, sexism, or religious talk. Feel free to use such devices in character to spark plot ideas or create texture between characters. But serious ooc talk on such subjects is prohibited.
general ic
Please respect our minimum requirement of 500 words.
I'll repeat the above, "do not bring ic into ooc" and vica versa.
Do not under any circumstance power-play or god-mod.
Do not make your character into a super hero or mary/gary sue.
We prefer if you have each character on their own seperate accounts. This makes packs easier to manage. You're first account can/will be considered your main account and while we prefer otherwise, your welcome to rp your characters off that one. Again, each character should have its own account, and we prefer if you rp them off their own account, but you don't have to.
pack information
Packs are formed when two or more wolves form an alliance. Usually this is when a lone male and female meet, become a breeding pair, and find available land. Occasionally, two of the same gender create a pack out of a mutual need for help bringing down big game. (aka: any two wolves can form a pack and claim land)
On Daemonic Presence we will start with three packlands open for inhabiting. Other wolves are welcome to form their own packs and be roamers or force an existing pack out of on the three packlands. Once the original three are thriving well, the gods will discuss the possibility of adding more. (aka: after the first three lands are taken, lone wolves can still create packs)
In a pack there are an alpha pair, but one usually dominates the other at least partially. Most likely males are the more dominant due to size and testosterone, but many females have been the main leader of a pack. (aka: any gender can lead a pack)
A wolf does not gain alpha-ship through a personal relationship with another wolf. The alpha female is the strongest and most dominat female while the alpha male is the strongest and most dominant male. (aka: a wolf fights for its own rank, its not given freely)
Fights within a pack will be judged by the alpha pair. Fights concerning the alpha rank will be judged by a shaman or god. You are welcome to a second opinion if you feel your fight was misjudged.
A wolf must be at least two years to fight for an adult ranking in a pack. S/he must be three years of age to fight for an alpha position. Its suggested that a lone wolf become aquainted with fellow pack members before fighting their way up.
reproduction
Usually only the alpha pair in a pack will breed, ostracizing any subordinate male or females that seem interested in breeding. This is for the survival of the pack. (aka: only the alpha pair may breed unless the pack is unusually large and prey is very plentiful)
Wolves breed during the winter months. Hormones tend to make the wolves more high strung and anxious, with subordinates (especially females) being picked on to keep them from breeding. Here at DP, we suggest you wait to breed till mid to late winter; and graphic breeding is not allowed.
About 10 to 15 days later, a staff member will post the stats of the pups produced. Do not beg for them to be posted, nor ask for certain genders, numbers, or colors. The breeding pair praying in character is acceptable and might be rewarded.
