RULES & GUIDELINES
RULES & GUIDELINES
1. No power-playing (doing things to another character without permission IC and/or OOC)
2. No metagaming (your character can not know things they have not found out IC)
3. Your character can not be mates with another one of your characters.
4. All breeding must be approved by administration and done during the breading seasons only.
5. Interspecies breeding is not allowed unless otherwise noted or given special permission.
6. All species sexually mature at different ages, but for simplicities sake characters must be 1 year old to breed.
7. All species age differently, some live much longer than others. For simplicities sake, all characters will cap at age 10.
8. IC years are the same as OOC years. Ex. it is May 16, 2017 today OOC which means it is May 16, 2017 IC as well.
9. Seasons run the same as the seasons in real life (in North America) and it will be noted when seasons change.
10. All new born animals will age more rapidly so you can play them as adults without waiting a full year.
Once the new animal is born, it will age at 2x normal speed so every OOC month will be two IC months.
Once they reach 1 year old IC (6 months OOC) they will begin to age normally.
11. One character per account, accounts must be created before the application is posted for that account's character.
12. All characters must fit the species description provided in the guide so they are accurate to their species standards.
