TFFrp's Relationship Guide Please read carefully! IMPORTANT REMINDERS 1. Characters cannot develop crushes before reaching 6 moons old (or before officially becoming apprentices for clan cats). 2. Characters may only become mates at warrior age (not fresh warriors, must be at least 16+ moons). 3. Romantic pairings involving kits/kits, kits/apprentices apprentices/warriors, kits/warriors, are not allowed under any circumstance. 4. If apprentices are involved in a romance and one becomes a warrior before the other, the plans must be paused until both are warriors. 5. Always check the family trees before shipping characters to avoid bad things :sob: SAME-CLAN RELATIONSHIPS Relationship Progression: * Relationships within the same clan generally follow this guideline for the minimum number of threads: 1. Meeting/Crushing 2. Crushing/Dating 3. Dating 4. Becoming Mates > These are minimum requirements, not limits. You may use more threads to develop the relationship naturally. > At least 1 thread is required before a confession, and at least 3 threads before becoming mates. FBL RELATIONSHIPS Permission requests and reasoning for FBL relationships are not required. Roleplayers only need to present the appropriate number of threads to admins for FBL tracking purposes. FBL limits depend on the clan leader: consequences for violations vary depending on leadership and alliances. Admins will notify leaders of any updates to FBL relationship lists. 1.
