THE STRIKE SYSTEM

Here at SC, we have the "three strikes system", meaning that once you reach three strikes you will be removed from the roleplay. However, this can be easily avoided by remaining familiar with the rules! The first time you break a rule, you will receive a warning, however after that is when you gain strikes. Anything that a staff member says goes, so please be mindful.

This roleplay was created to bring enjoyment to it's members, not to bring frustration over bickering about one thing or another. If you have an issue with another member, whether it be staff or not, take it to a staff member such as myself and it will be handled accordingly; however, make sure you are able to provide screenshots as proof! I'm afraid nothing can be done unless there's hard facts to prove validity.

NAMES

To make sure things remain nice and organized, please sign up with your FH username. Any accounts that do not follow this will be deleted to avoid confusion/and or clutter! However, don't fret, you will be able to make a new account with the proper name after.

CHARACTER SWAPPING

We highly encourage you to not replace your character(s) shortly after creating them, especially if you've already planned relations with other characters or already roleplayed as them. We are very willing to offer suggestions and ideas to make them more interesting to you! We ask that you decide on a character's fate one week within creating them, which will give you plenty of time. After that, you may not replace them.

DEATH AND CONSEQUENCES

For realism, expect your character(s) to face the music of their actions, positive or not. If your cat breaks the Code or is caught in a forbidden relationship, they will be punished. Some punishments are more serve than other's, such as banishment or even death; these types of situations will be brought up with you beforehand, and if you don't want this to fall upon your character, you may back out of doing it. If you wish to kill another member's character, and they have given you consent and fall within the set time-frame, than you may. The time-frame for killing off a character is two weeks of roleplaying as them, this is to prevent people from mass-slaughtering their and other people's characters.

ROMANCE AND RELATIONS

Bonds take time to grow and strength, they don't happen overnight, you know. We ask that you have some background roleplaying together before making something official, as simply saying "they're friends/lovers now" is awfully stale. Forbidden romances are allowed (aka a romantic relationship between two cats of different Clans), however those will be monitored by staff and your characters will get in trouble if caught. There is also a cap on how many can happen at a time, as these types of relationships are to be kept uncommon. Currently, 2/2 slots are open for this. Apprentices cannot have romantic relationships until they are made warriors, as at that stage they're still a tad young and basically teenagers.

AGING AND SIZING

One IRL week is equal to a moon in the roleplay, so on every Sunday your character(s) will age up a moon. However, if you're on an official hiatus, your character(s) will be "frozen in time", meaning they will not age until you return. There is a set height guide for the Clans for the sake of keeping things realistic, so make sure your character(s) fall within it! A 6 moon old cat is almost at their adult height, and a kit is not as large as a warrior.

 PREGNANCY AND CLUTCH  SIZES

Once your queen has conceived, it'll take four IRL days for her to start showing signs of pregnancy (such as a swelling belly). It will take two weeks for the kits to be born. Motherless kits are not allowed in the roleplay, so members must wait for a expecting queen in order to bring in a kit character; however, the mother and father of the litter may decide on the names and general appearance of the kits, though you may offer suggestions if you are wanting to bring in said character, and have permission from the mother and father to play as one of their children. They have full right to deny you for whatever reason. The max size for a litter is four.

To make sure the roleplay isn't overrun with characters collecting dust, there is a cap to how many characters you may have, and that is three. If you'd like to take on more than one character, you must be able to spend the time being generally active on all of them!

RARE GENETICS AND MUTATIONS

Rare genetics and mutations will be kept what they are, rare. If there are slots open for rare genetics/mutations, you may ask staff beforehand to add a mutation to a character; be aware that some mutations are not allowed. Currently, 4/4 slots for rare genetics are open and 4/4 slots are open for mutations. Please keep in mind that some genetics and mutations can and will affect your character, for better or for worse. Such as albinism, your character will not be able to dwell outside during the day, as they can easily go blind or get sunburned.

INAPPROPRIATE

NSFW is not allowed on the site, as we'd like to keep this a generally clean and welcoming place. However, the roleplay can and does take on some mature themes, so don't say we didn't warn you. Sensitive topics such as suicide, homophobia, self-harm, extreme abuse and etc is not allowed, whether it be in idle chatter or in character backstories. Please keep this mind when creating a new character.
