GUIDELINES

* NOTE: Items can be purchased in the shop to bypass these rules, such as unrealistic coat markings, mixed species, etc. but will have to be bought BEFORE creating the character.

// 01. Your app title should be a follows: [ CHARACTER NAME ] sex - starting age - rank. If you don't submit your app this way, expect it to be edited by a mod upon acceptance.

// 02. You may have as many characters as you wish, so long as you can stay active with all of them. If you try to submit a new character for review with activity strikes on at least half of your other characters, you will be told to wait until your other characters have passed the next activity check.

// 03. You may only role play purebred wolves of the gray wolf subspecies. This means no dogs, coyotes, maned wolves, hybrids, etc. The species you have to choose from are timber, arctic/polar, and European/Eurasian.

// 04. Wolf ages are in increments of 7. So 1 human year = 7 wolf years, 2 years = 14, etc. Your character must be at least 1 year old upon joining. Our wolves will age in real time (1 OOC year = 1 IC) based on the seasons, meaning that if you wolf joins in fall of year 1, they will age another year in the fall of year 2. You are expected to keep track of this in your profile. Read here to learn more about aging/time progression.

// 05. All sexualities are welcome.

// 06. In your app, use pictures of wolves only. You may use drawn pictures (provided you're allowed to use them) in your avatar/profile, but your app pic must be a real wolf. If you're having a hard time finding some good pics, Dawnthieves offers a very wide variety of high quality, free to use images! Just be sure to credit the photographer.

//07. Pelt colors/markings and wolf sizes must be realistic. Eye colors can vary. No pink, purple, blue, cherry red, etc. wolves with lightning bolt markings and polka dots. They can be any shade of cream, russet brown ("red"), brown, black, gray, pure white, and tri-color. Eye colors don't have to be realistic though; eyes can be any shade of any color. In terms of sizes, wolf shoulder heights should range from 26-32 in. and weight should range from 60-120 lbs.

// 08. Under physical appearance, you must list at least one major weakness for your wolf. Size and body build typically dictates this. A larger wolf will be stronger than a smaller wolf, but also slower. Vice versa, a smaller wolf will be faster than a larger wolf, but typically weaker. Larger wolves may also have less stamina due to lugging large bodies around, and smaller wolves will have more stamina due to their light weight frame. A larger wolf will be harder to pin/topple than a smaller wolf. The list goes on.

// 09. No Mary Sues/Gary Stues. Meaning, no perfect characters. Your character should have a pretty balanced list of good and bad trait, and these traits should actually have an impact on the character as well, so flaws shouldn't be things like "afraid of bees". This list is pretty helpful for coming up with flaws.

// 10. You must write at least 250 words for the personality. This can be written in post format (i.e. several paragraphs) or a bulleted list of traits with explanations next to them.

// 11. You have to write your character's history. This is a very big part of who your character is, where they come from, why they are where they are today, and why they are who they are today. There is no word minimum so long as you write enough to include the circumstances of their birth and their life up to this point. This can be done in paragraph format or a bulleted list of important events.
