IMPORTANT: You must create an account for each of your characters. Your name must be the name of your character. This keeps things much more organized.

If you are reading this and are already a member, go back and make a new name. Then send a message to Shadow with the name of your old account, the one that now needs to be deleted.

All members must be respectful to staff members. Disobeying rules will get you a warning, another warning, and a third. But after that you will be banned.

Posting
Posts must be at least 10 sentences. NO LESS. Make sure spelling, etc. is correct. You don't have to be perfect, but put effort into your posts.

Characters
These are wolves. Spiritual beings sure, but supernatural they are not.
The biggest a wolf can be is 175 lbs.

Claiming
If the land is unmarked, and does not have a listed Alpha Male and Queen you can claim simply by posting in that terra. However if it has a King or Queen Alpha you must RP to rule with them or battle.

Fighting
Battles will last 10 posts from each side. Once that has taken place message the Admins to judge your match. You will be scored on your ability to write eloquently, your character speed, stamina, etc, and the amount of hits you make.
There is no "God-playing" or "Power-playing"
You cannot say:
He struck out wildly ripping a gapping hole in his opponents flesh.
You can say:
He struck out wildly, hoping to rip a gapping hole in his opponents flesh.
It is up to the player being attack how they are wounded. They must be realistically effected however. You cannot dodge every blow.

Joining a Pack
Go post at the outskirts in their terra, and humbly ask admittance, hoping they won't kill you.
Or... wander in the wandering lands until someone claims you and takes you to their pack.

Breeding
It can be fully acted out. You should be relatively mature to join this site.
Forcebreeding is also allowed, but some packs do not allow it. So it is up to you how much trouble you want to cause with in the pack.
Breeding takes place within the den, cave, or quiet place in the pack's terra.

Code Word: nightshade

Once your female is pregnant you must wait 1 real week until the pups are born.
Once a week has past rp the birth in the den, and message the Admin.
The admin will then post a reply something like this...

"Congradulations! You've had 3 pups!
Two males, and a female. Pitch black little balls of fluff.
Keep them close for this winter will be harsh."

Then you must respond with what you want done with the pups.
Will they go to be adopted or will you be playing their character?

Cursing
Expletives are allowed as long as they are in context, and not ment to hurt the other members.
"Damn you, you fucking cunt!" = Bad
"Damn this world and all the wolves in it" = Good
