CHARACTER RULES

Creation

Species -- Most big cat species are accepted into TRD. Small cat species, however, will be denied. Examples of these include domestic cats, sand cats, and others. A list of accepted and denied species will be provided at a later date. None feline species, such as canines, equines, humans, etc, are not allowed.

Mutations -- There will be a limited amount of mutations allowed in the Ferox, Solus, Hunters, and Olum. These limits can be found at the top of each groups’ character lists.

Hybrids -- There will not be a limit on hybrids (Unless there is a limit on a specific species in one group. Example: Ferox has put a limit on tigers during this opening, so you cannot submit a liger, because it is part tiger). However, hybrids must be kept within the breeding groups found in the Rules. You cannot start off a hybrid character with more than two species. For example, you cannot submit a character that is a mix between a serval, caracal, and lynx. You must pick two of them, unless your character is a cub of existing characters that causes him/her to have more than two species in his or her bloodline. (More information on breeding limits can be found in our Rules journal.)

Armor -- The Bounty Hunters are armored and may often get armor updates and revisions. However, the Defectors do not create their own armor. They will not own armor unless they have armor they brought with them from the city of Rome when they escaped or stole armor from somewhere after they escaped, which must be mentioned somewhere in their description. Defectors who do not have armor usually pack their fur with thick mud to protect themselves in battle.

Naming Your Character -- Most characters will have Roman or Greek names, or names that represent items such as "Leaf" or "Jewel". Characters in the Olum who originated from Homeland might have names from other languages, such as Russian, Turkish, Scandinavian, and more. Characters originating from the Roman area may also have these names, but it may be less common. Most names will be allowed, but please try to stay away from "Warriors" type names. If a name is offensive or inappropriate, the admins might ask you to change the name of your character.

Creating Your Application -- Please put your character's design and all of their correct information on the application sheet that you want your character to go into.

If you are not an artist, you may commission or request someone to draw your character application, or you can submit a text deviation with all the above information on it, plus a detailed description of what your character looks like in the "Physical Description" section. We will let you know if there is not enough information on your character's appearance.
