Conduct Rules
I. You must comply to all Proboard rules. All players must be at least 13 years old.
II. No god-modding, power-playing, OP characters, mary sues, etc. Have common sense and courtesy when creating characters and roleplaying.
III. Always be kind to other players out of character. Any conflicts between players should be handled privately. If you can't diffuse a situation on your own, please contact TheSeaWolf.
IV. Please do not discuss politics or religion on the site or in the Discord server. Any harassment over someone's religion, sexuality, or gender identity will not be tolerated. Please use people's preferred pronouns. We want everyone to be comfortable here!
V. Be literate! During on-site roleplay, 100+ words per post is preferred. Literate means good grammar, NOT overly flowery vocabulary. Keep the setting and audience in mind. A semi-realistic wolf RP isn't the place for words like fae, oculars, audits, etc.
VI. Try to be active and check in monthly. The more active you are, the more opportunities you'll have to obtain higher ranks. We will also have monthly activity checks, which will come with prizes!
VII. Please don't use art as profile pictures unless you drew it yourself or can prove you have permission (such as screenshots of you being granted permission by the artist). I would also prefer if players found photos that are licensed for reuse. You can just use google advanced image search to look for free to use photos, as well as sites like PixleBay. I won't enforce this but I do prefer it, since I have personally known amazing wolf photographers who completely stopped sharing their work due to people using their photos in RPs without permission.
VIII. This is a PG-13 roleplay. You can use some profanity, but try to keep things to a minimum. In-character cursing doesn't always make sense because wolves wouldn't use words like "bastard." There will obviously be some violence as wolves may fight or attack other animals, but don't use excessive gory descriptions. Any sexual content is not allowed! Don't post anything suggestive or explicit on threads, and even doing so in PMs is against Proboard's ToS. Don't talk about inappropriate or illegal things and don't roleplay them.

Game Rules
I. Players can start with two adult wolves. After that, they can adopt pups to get more characters or buy adult characters in the shop.
II. This is a semi-realistic roleplay. Please try to stick to the setting and some amounts of realistic wolf behavior.
III. Wolves can be mates, but no sexual roleplay will be allowed. Mates can be affectionate and have a good relationship, but they can't do anything suggestive or explicit. Any relationship roleplaying should be purely romantic and affectionate with no suggestiveness.
IV. Each player should have one main player account and individual accounts for each of their characters. For example, the admin's main account is TheSeaWolf and her character's account is Kaira. It is extremely easy to do this on Proboards! Just click the "switch accounts" button in the lower left corner and make a new account on this forum. You won't have to make a new password, you can just use the same main Proboards account and easily switch between your characters and your main.
V. To roleplay, individual threads will be made for each small plotline. Make sure your threads are in the right location board. Once a thread's plot is done, lock the thread. If a plotline moves to a new location, lock the thread and make a new thread in the new location to continue the plot. For example, if your characters decide to go hunting in the forest on Askja, make a thread in Askja's Forest called "Hunting Party" or whatever plot-relevant title you think of. Once the hunt is done and all the wolves eat, lock the thread.
Character Creation
If you have read and understood all of these rules as well as the wolf rules, it's time to create your character! Go to the character application board and make a new thread for each character application.
