1. Keep in mind to respect higher ranks IC. You wouldn't see a cub smacking the face of an adult male lion in real life, would you?
2. Characters are required to be realistic. No ultra-small lionesses- your lioness must be almost as big as a male lion or just as big.
-2 Characters per user allowed in the group.
-You must have your character for more than two weeks before they can be killed off.
-NO abnormal eye colors unless permission was received by a staff member.
-NO mutations, unless an admin approved it.
-NO abnormalities whatsoever, unless an admin approved it. ASK before giving your character one.
4. Cubs must stay within the safety of the pride's den. However, cubs may wander off if they are travelling with their mother or other. Remember, though, there are many dangers for cubs.
-Your cub is not Superman, they are not skilled at anything yet. Developing skills takes practice.
5. Once attacking, you must wait for your opponent to reply first before attacking again. One attack at a time. You MAY NOT dodge repeatedly.
-You can only dodge 3 times.
In the case of a minor brawl, each fighting sub-male/lioness may only post 5 times. Whoever has the advantage or isn't pinned by the time both users have posted 5 times, wins.
6. NOBODY except the admins are allowed to give out the password to new members, as well as give out the map. If a new member asks you for the password, redirect them to an admin. If you have a friend wishing to join, have them join the website and PM a admin.
7. You MAY NOT kill another character during combat unless they have given you permission OOC.
Before killing a character, post on the thread "Deceased Characters".
8. Forbidden love relationships are, well, forbidden.
If you wish to have one, you'll need to ask an admin.
REMEMBER, if the dominant male finds a cub in the pride that is not his nor any of the sub-male's, he WILL kill them.
Saying this, if you have a lioness character, you must ask about having a litter of cubs with an outsider. It is recommended that your lioness only have cubs with either the dominant male or a sub-male of the pride.
Though lions have multiple partners, you can choose to have a partner for life.
11. Please, if a staff member asks you to change a detail about your character, do not take offense or lash out. If you don't want to change anything about your character, then politely decline and go find another group.
-About ranting on the forum: please only rant about lesser problems, such as annoying teachers or etc- expressing severe problems such as a family member getting into trouble with police or etc are personal problems. When you talk about these in an online game, you're making others feel uncomfortable, and then when no one says anything you'll complain and bash others for not comforting you. For example, I once witnessed on multiple occasions a user going on in Local in a grave tone about their problems, then lashing out because no one replied. Please, keep this sort of thing to whisper or don't talk about in an MMORPG at all.
-NEVER bring up sensitive topics such as rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment, suicide, or etc. in the group. You will be kicked out.
12. As for aging, everyone but cubs/teens age 1 month per real week. Cubs age 1 month per 1 real day, and teens age 1 month per 2 real days.
-If your lioness is pregnant, she'll be so for 1 real week.
-Lionesses go into heat for two weeks out of each month. To see whether or not it's that two weeks, check the thread labeled "Seasons" in Information>Seasons.
13. Once in awhile, your character may get injured and you'll have to wait awhile for them to become fully healed again. For lesser wounds like cuts, bites, or scratches, it will only take 2 real days. For a little more serious wounds or ailments like sickness or deeper/bigger wounds, it will take 4-5 real days. Severe wounds like deep, large wounds take up to 8 real days. Remember, there are no medics, so wounds like a twisted leg or paw will make your character fall behind in the group, and there is no retirement rank.
14. Do not put items like guns, hats, bubbles, and etc., on your characters. Items are forbidden.
15. If a high rank is offline, you cannot pretend or NPC them during RP.
Speaking of, DO NOT powermod, godmod, or control another person's character. You will be warned, and the second time kicked.
16. Characters with all strengths and no weaknesses are very plain, very boring, and extremely annoying and forbidden. If your character is particularly small and nimble, they will not be particularly good at fighting or brute strength.
ROLE PLAY YOUR CHARACTER'S SIZE REALISTICALLY. That means if you have a lioness or lion that is smaller than most others in the pride, they'll likely not be as strong, nor dominant.
As well, just because your character is large, does not mean they are invincible. They are not ultra strong.
17. If you see someone breaking a rule, do not bestow the responsibility upon yourself of dealing with it. SCREENSHOT it, then send the screenshot to staff.
Redirect members with questions and etc to a Helper or staff member, unless you know the answer for sure, yourself.
18. Slight cursing IC is allowed, but keep it to a strict minimum. Not everyone who plays FeralHeart is above 14 years old.
DO NOT call another member names or curse words. That is bullying, and you will be kicked from the group.
19. If you're a juvenile male, chances are that once you turn 2 years old, you'll be driven from the pride's territory. If this happens, you can always start your own pride by convincing lionesses to join you or challenging the dominant male for their place.
-Lionesses may also choose to leave the pride once they're fully grown. It's rare, but if there are too many active lionesses, a lioness that has just turned 2 may be chased out.
