Character Limit: You are allowed up to 4 "official" characters.
- You are allowed to have a maximum of 4 characters added to the group in-game at one time. These are "official" pack members and may hold ranks.
- You are allowed to have more than 4 characters in the group, but they will be "unofficial" pack members. They may not hold ranks.
Character Species: This group accepts only canines. We do allow any sort of canine and even accept some custom species if they gain staff permission for use. We no not accept demons, vampires, witches, wizards, wings, powers, or anything of that nature.
Character Size: You can make your character any size you wish, but do follow realistic characteristics that come with the size of your character.
- Smaller characters are usually on the quicker side and tend to be more agile. Though, they tend to lack in muscular strength. They are usually weaker against larger opponents and prey. Small characters are at high risk for complications during birth.
- Larger characters are usually on the slower side and tend to be less agile. Though, they tend to have a lot of muscular strength. Often, if they are abnormally large, they suffer from medical conditions regarding the joints.
Young Characters: Characters that are younger than 3 months OOC (6 IC) are considered pups in this pack.
- We do not accept orphan pups. The only exception is if the player can arrange and gain permission OOC from another adult character within the group to adopt the younger character. At 3 months OOC (6 IC) or older, you become a Division III rank or lower.
