CARP Rules

Instructions

Yes, rules. Every RP should have rules. Let's start before I start yapping away - DA RULES - 1. NO, and I mean NO DISCRIMNATION OF ANY, ANY KIND. THIS WILL RESULT IN A BAN IN THE RP IF CONTINUED TWO TIMES 2. No detailed g0r3 OR sv!c!d3 OR s31f-h@7m, everything must be PG or PG-13, PG preferred 3. Hate the character, not the RPer 4. Don't mention the word 'clan' in the roleplay, outside yes. But Clans haven't existed yet, so cats don't know about them. 5. Slowly, a 'code' or what Phoenix's group calls them, rules, will come together. The RPer of Phoenix, Umber, and Song (whom I'm RPing as) will discuss what and what won't be in the 'code'. So other RPers can put suggestions, but not make them a reality. 6. There will be certain events that will happen that could possibly k!11 your cat. Certain cats will be immune to this for a period time. Cats who are to be kept alive for lore reasons are immune to the d3@th chance of these events. Kits will be immune to the d3@th chance as well of these events until they become apprentices. But if you want your kit to have the chance of well dy!n9 for whatever reason, you'll fill out a small form and send it to me, and I might or might not accept it. Same goes for the other cats who are meant to be kept alive. So, say there's a greencough event, all cats will have a chance of catching it (unless excused) including kits and those lore cats, but kits and lore cats won't have the chance to d!3 from it, unless you filled out a form and I've accepted it. 7. This RP is a little different in case you haven't noticed, try to follow the whole thing as much as possible? 8. You cannot make your own rouge group (or Clan once the RP reaches that stage) without serious reasoning and experience of creating a different group or Clan. 9. NO POWERPLAYING, every cat has a chance of losing, okay? No one is all-powerful, it's not really fun if you play that way. 10. Prophecies happen in this RP, even in the early stage. If you want your character to receive a prophecy, give me the reasoning and what the prophecy is about, including what the prophecy actually says. 11. There is an afterlife, some believe in an afterlife, some don't. It's your decision if you want your cat to believe or not. But certain cats, like the lore ones have too, unless you also give some reasoning. Speaking of afterlife... 12. There are three afterlives, one for rouges (not including the ones in a group), loners, and softclaws (kittypets), one for bad cats that are in a group, and another one for good cats who are in a group. It doesn't matter if you're a non-believer or not, you'll still go to the necessary afterlife. We will vote on a name for the good afterlife and the other afterlife, but the bad one is called The Dark Lands. 13. There is currently only a one-character slot, due to how little there is for different allegiances. But this will soon change. 14. Your cat can only live up to 180 moons (15 years), once they reach that age, they d3, no expectation. Cats are considered a senior Phoenix member at 96 (8 years) moons but can retire at 120 moons (10 years), which is the age when the cat is considered an elder. 15. In case your confused, every cat in Phoenix's group are called Phoenix members. Warriors are called hunters until I change it to the original name for lore reasons. Kits are just called kits, of course that will stay the same. Medicine cats are called healers, a permanent term. Leader is obvious, no need to every change the term. Elders the same always. Deputies are called seconds-in-commands, which could be permanent. And queens, I'm unsure...but for now, the same. 16. The place where the cats connect to their ancestors will be voted on, but it won't be founded until Phoenix...d!e5 17. Kits cannot have a crush, NOR mate like why? Apprentices can have a crush, but NO mate. Adults can have a mate ofc. A cat cannot like anyone more than 3 moons older that is under 16 moons. When between 17 and 27 moons can like someone 4 moons older, between 28 moons and 30 can like another that's 6 moons above their age. 30 and above, 10 moons are the limit. 18. Anyone under 16 moons can NOT have kits. If 16 or 17 moons and you have kits, you'll d!3. At 18 moons you can be safe having kits, but until you'll 24 moons, you'll have to have a lot of reasoning for the litter. Same for a single-parented litter, but lightened once 24 moons, just a little bit. If there's two or more parenting, reasoning is a whole lot lessened but is still needed. 19. If you didn't notice, yes polyamorous relationships are allowed. But both sides have to agree to this, before a polyamorous relationship is started, you must send proof to either me or a moderator of the RP, if we see that the proof is true, you can start the relationship.
