IN CHARACTER RULES
- Whatever the administrator, clan leader, or other high position holding member says, goes. If you feel as if you have been treated unfairly, contact the staff team! There is a thread posted of our current staff team and how to contact them.
- We expect all characters to have some sort of realism about them, at least as much as you can with feral house cats. Please know some about your character's breed, appearance, and their limitations as much as you can.
- Should you have any history with any non-Clan cats, please ask your leader if this is ok. In the books, it was rare to have a half breed relative or to have a half breed character. When they were half breeds, they were discriminated against and often treated unfairly. Now, everyone has a half breed character because it's the new fad. This will not be the case in this role-play.
- Forbidden romances and border meet ups must be cleared by your Clan leaders first. This is so that the leaders know what's going on in their Clans. If they're not online, that's not an automatic yes. PM them on Discord and I'm sure they'll get back to you as soon as possible.
- Genetic and rare mutations will remain exactly that... rare. Uncommon genetic mutations such as folded ears, missing limbs, missing tail (ASIDE FROM the breed itself) or mental illnesses such as gender dysphoria, depression, etc. must be approved by Tannabelle, rottie, or Celtia first. Please have some background knowledge on your mutation prior to making your character.
- Also regarding mutations: You may only have one mutated cat at a time! Also, mutations and disabilities may not stack up either, meaning that your character cannot have everything wrong with it.
- We allow items here, but only the "natural" ones, such as beards, twigs, and ear feathers. We do not allow the edgy manes, though. Sorry.
- Motherless kits here are not allowed. Not only would this create havoc in the nursery, but it would also fill up the Clans with NPCs and eventually turn into a scenario where there's more apprentices than warriors available.
- To add on to mothers and nursing queens, we have decided that we will be allowing a maximum of three surviving kits per litter. Meaning, you can have four kits in your litter if you so choose, but one will be dead. This is to ensure that we do not overflow Clans with possibly mentorless apprentices. We also require that she-cats have a minimum of twenty IRL days before getting pregnant again.
- Since we have noticed an issue with this, we are now putting our foot down on this. Characters do not know each other two days and become mates. At a minimum, PLEASE roleplay your character's courting session for a minimum of seven IRL days. Give them some time to get to know each other - maybe you'll even see that they're not meant to be after all.
- Once again we have noticed an issue with this, apprentices may NOT have sexual relationships or mates until they are of warrior age. Of course simple crushes are allowed though! Apprentices are still technically kits, you don't see apprentices getting into serious or sexual relationships in the books do you? Please refrain from this, it's very inappropriate and disturbing and is nearly equivalent to pedophilia.
- Also regarding mutations: Mutations, disabilities, or otherwise definiting traits MAY NOT stack up! Meaning, Hollythorn in CoveClan may not have heterochromia, be deaf, or have a severely mangled face. She needs to have one or the other in this case. This is to avoid having many "Woe is me, my character is so crippled and special!" or Mary Sues within the RP.
OUT OF CHARACTER RULES
- We go by a three strike system. Three strikes and you're out. However, should you commit some sort of ungodly sin, you may be permabanned without even reaching three strikes.
- Treat others how you'd like to be treated! No forms of disrespect are tolerated here. At the end of the day, we're all human beings with feelings behind a computer screen trying to enjoy ourselves.
- We allow FOUR character slots at one time. You can have only one loner or rogue per player to keep the ratio even. In a nutshell, you can have four clan cats and no rogue or three clan cats and a rogue or loner
- Sensitive and mature topics may be roleplayed (gore, birth, etc) but if it makes a member uncomfortable, please take it to another chat. It's best to discuss how gore-filled and detailed your posts may be with your RP partners can handle. However, in OOC chatter, please keep discussions of abuse, rape, etc. out of any conversation that is not NSFW. This makes many members uncomfortable, and may only be discussed in our 18+ channel.
- Swearing is allowed to an extent, however, we may have a younger audiences who aren't accustomed to such a language. If somebody is not comfortable with such foul language and they ask you to stop, then please respect their request and stop.
- This roleplay is supposed to be a getaway from real life - we understand that. However, we want to keep ranks and positions open to those who are active enough to maintain them. With this being said, the staff reserve the right to kick you after not seeing or hearing anything from you after 10 days or whenever they see fit.
- Advertising other roleplays in our roleplay's discord channel, site, group chat, etc. will not be taken lightly of. Not only does it show how tasteless you are, it shows how desperate you are to fill your ranks with people who might not even be suited for the job. Such advertising will result in an automatic kick from our roleplay and forum.
- While we appreciate anyone who would try to recruit for us, we do not allow this. Feel free to suggest them to our roleplay, but we will not be accepting any roleplay samples from people who did not post them in our member audition thread, or were recruited on FeralHeart by people who do not have access to the recruiter. This puts the staff team between a rock and a hard place when we are trying to close off public memberships to certain groups, especially when some Clans have more active members than another.
- Members are only allowed ONE high rank within the role play. This means you cannot have one character that is a leader and one character that is a deputy or vice versa. It is unfair for one person to hoard all the high ranks.
