Rules
General Rules

Roleplaying Rules
1. No perfect characters, like mary sues or gary stu's! Characters should have different and interesting personality traits that make them unique!

3. Do not control other peoples' characters! Control only your character!
4. Cursing is allowed in this group, but please do not go overboard with it! If we catch you being immature, we can give you a warning. Three warnings and you get kicked out of the group.

FAQ
What is this group about?
This group is three Packs of African Wild Dogs who live in, or try to live in, harmony. They worship their own God: the Moon, the Sun, or the Stars. They also have certain abilities that help them protect their God and must use them in times of uncertainty.

Can I join?!
Of course you can! We admins just ask you to read all important journal blogs before clicking that join request button! You also have to fill out your Application sheet!

How many characters can I join with?
Normal members get to join with 1 character while admins can join with 2. However, you can earn a character slot with the Point System (see 'Point System' journal blog for more information).

Can Shamans have pups/mates?
Yes, we wouldn't deprive them of one of the biggest joys of life! However, female Shamans must have a Tenderfoot to help Pack members while they are expecting pups or have the pups. Male Shamans don't have to have a Tenderfoot when having an expecting mate, but must make sure that they don't get distracted in their duties!

Can my character have accessories?
Yes your character can have accessories. However, they must be natural accessories, made of natural materials such as bark, stone, leaves, grass, vines, etc. Also, please do not overdo the accessories on your character! Your character can have up to 3 accessories (pairs of something, such as earrings, count as 1).

Can my character have more than one ability?
No, you must choose only one ability for your character.

Can my character and another character have Pups?
Of course! Just make sure that the other RP of your character's mate is ok with it. Also, make sure that you have roleplayed enough to have Pups! We admins ask for you to roleplay with the mate's RPer at least 7 times to have Pups. It goes down like this:

To become mates --> you must RP at least 5 times
To have Pups --> you must RP at least 7 times

Once you decide and are able to have Pups, please note the group with the links to your RPs and parent application sheets. We will reply whether or note you can have the Pups. We will then roll a die to tell you how many Pups the litter will have (1-6) and what genders they are.

Can my character be half-Pack (born with parents from different packs)?
Yes, of course! However, your character might have some trouble fitting into their Pack! They might well be forced to become a Slave!

I've already submitted my character for the group but I was wondering about your policy on colour mutations, ie albinism, malanism, strawberry(red), chinchilla etc.
