Site & RP Rules
1. Everyone should be respectful to each other. Treat others as you would like to be treated.
2. No causing unnecessary drama, both in and out of character!
3. Swearing is allowed, but don't overdue it--be polite. If certain words offend someone, kindly don't use them. Also, because anyone can see your in-game bio, please keep it free of swears!
4. This is a literate roleplay, so posts are expected to exceed the maximum chat limit in FH. Correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization is required. Writer's block is of course understood, as long as it is not always used as an excuse.
5. Power-playing, god-modding and mary-sue/gary-sue characters are not permitted. Everyone has their strengths, and their flaws.
6. Mate-begging, or any sort of begging for relationships or other, is frowned upon. Also, do not instantly start out with a crush on someone's character. Let things develop in the roleplay. Cubs do not have serious romance, either.
7. Do not kill or seriously maim others' characters without their direct permission.
8. Discrimination against others of different sexuality, etc. is not allowed.
9. Activity is a must. It is exceedingly important especially for those of higher ranks. We understand real life can get in the way! If you must be gone for awhile be sure to post a reason in the Absences section. Be online as best you can, otherwise.
10. High ranks are required to appear at least once every two days.
11. Five is the maximum amount of characters any one person can play. This includes lions in the pride and rogues.
12. To kill off a character you must have had it for a week--in real life time.
13. Lionesses can not bear more than five cubs. To find players for cubs, post in the Adoptions section. The parents have full rights to their offspring and can design them themselves, or let the adopters design the cubs.
14. If you want to roleplay out mating, use whisper or party chat--something that keeps it between only the beings involved in intercourse.
15. Rape, being a very sensitive topic, is not permitted whatsoever.
16. Please respect all everyone else and do not bring things up that would offend people! Particularly things such as religion, politics, etc.
17. You cannot create a second character unless you have been in the RP for more than a week in real life.
18. Post-cutting is not considered against the rules, but please try to avoid doing it!
Character Rules
1. Powers and magic are not allowed whatsoever. Your character cannot have wings, scales, horns, antlers, etc.
2. We do have a limit on how many male lions we can have in the pride, as this is a semi-realistic group. The ratio is 5:1, meaning for every 5 lioness', there is 1 male.
3. Behave as a lion would behave. No swimming like a fish, climbing like a leopard. While we are semi-realistic, we expect characters to still act feline.
4. Characters should have realistic markings and colors (no neons). ANy natural color; tan, brown, reddish, cream, grey, black, is permitted. Markings should not be specific designs (such as heart or dragon).
5. We'd prefer not to have gender tags (F or M) in the name.
6. Tags are preferred, but if you cannot fit it or really don't want to put it in your name, that's fine. In that case, include your rank in your bio. Map password is puppieskittens.
7. Please try to veer away from stereotypes and commonalities! For example, tiny lionesses are overused. (For the record, dwarfism has not been recorded in lions ever, so we do not accept that!)
8. Lionesses will be pregnant for at least three IRL days (more if you wish). Also, it won't be something that they notice right away!
9. When fighting, please be aware of your character's flaws and strengths. Big, bulky lions aren't as agile as small, swift ones. Which, in turn, aren't as strong as the bigger ones. Do not auto-hit! Use verbs such as 'tried' or 'attempted'.
10. We accept lions, leopards, cheetahs, and realistic hybrids. At the moment, we will take in a few hyenas as well, but felines are preferred! There will be a limit on non-big-cats.
Aging Rules
1. No insta-aging, please.
Newborn Cub: One FH week.
Other age is variable and up to the player. However, make it realistic! We don't need cubs that stay cubs for generations. Also, time will pass. If the RP lasts, your character may reach elder age and pass away! Be forewarned. (We don't make time go very fast though, so don't worry.)
