Rules for signing up and roleplaying in OBAC! Music by @Ym2612 -- ~ Cats can not be gay, bi, lesbian, trans etc. There are no LGBTQ+ cats in real life. No, I'm not homophobic, but cats showing a "gay" personality might just come from sociality, affection, bonding, or just fun, rather than truly being "gay" like people. I'm trying to keep the RP realistic. Please do not tell me to change any LGBTQ+ related rules. Only she/her or he/him pronouns. ~ I'm not sure about this with my research, but birds can be gay. You can use gay, lesbian or trans, but I'm not sure about pan or bi. ~ Once again, I am not homophobic ~ Please no accessories ~ When laying eggs or having kits please don't do this realistically ~ You have a max of 3 cats, 3 birds and 2 free-roaming characters (bird or cat). Don't use an alternate account or some of your characters will be removed. ~ People with an admin role may have an AEC tag (admin: extra characters). They can have 5 cats, 5 birds and 3 free-roaming characters. Not every role will give you an AEC tag. ~ Owner can as many chars as she wants to, to keep the story going ~ Please remember the RP rating is PG, don't say anything too disturbing ~ Codeword is moon ~ If your character is dying: lowranks can be done without notice, but highranks must have a notice 1 week before death. Notice project is below. ~ No inappropriate language. However, you can use cat swears (fox-heart, mouse-dung) ~ This RP is not a Warrior Cats RP, but you can still use terms like kit, twoleg and leafbare. ~ Exclusions to the previous rule are (You cannot use these terms): StarClan (the stars in the sky are different), -Clan (the families are not "clan-like"), Warrior Code (there is a different passage used in this RP) and anything that is very tied to Warrior Cats. If you want to make one of these terms allowed or not allowed, please tell me. ~ No age gaps greater than 6 moons please. ~ Characters that are under 6 moons (kits or chicks) cannot have a crush, and no cat or bird can have a crush on a kit or chick. Mature kits (kits above 6 moons) may have a crush on adults but may not act on them until they are an adult themself. Adults can only have a crush on other adults. ~ A cat can have a crush on a bird, and a bird can have a crush on a cat. Only tricky part is, try not to be eaten, or let the bird run away before you can act. ~ Human days/months/years can be used as well as moons ~ If you are a highrank, please don't abuse your power ~ No powerplaying: you may not achieve what you want (you won't always win battles, you won't always have a comeback or a miracle, etc.) This keeps the RP fair and a bit more realistic. ~ No AI generated stuff or your content won't be accepted ~ Please ask for permission if you want to start a major event or do something that affects more than just your character ~ Characters must be 12 moons to become an adult (cats) or young adult (bird). Young adults must wait 12 more moons to become an adult. Young adults count in the adult category, and while they may have a few restrictions, they can have crushes. ~ If a young adult wishes to mate, please ask for permission. Full adults can mate without permission. ~ You are allowed to be your character's kin, but you cannot let two characters you own become mates. You can only let a character you own and another someone else owns become mates. ~ When signing up, please remember that this isn't Warrior Cats, so don't expect to get a suffix. You also can't give yourself a suffix upon signing up. If your name is a compound word but is not intentionally a warrior cat-like name (like Figtree, Hailstorm or Gumleaf), please tell me that. ~ Please be realistic with your appearance. You can't be a bright pink with green stripes, or be a rainbow colour. ~ If you sign up as a bird, you are required to pick a species from the species list. The list is below. ~ I am not trying to make birds superior. It may look like I'm giving birds more opportunities and privileges, but I'm trying to keep the game realistic. Do not attack me for this. ~ Some birds may skip the young adult stage and become an adult immediately from the apprentice stage. ~ Please be realistic with your names, and pick a name that a cat/bird in the forest would know about (River, Butterfly, but not Sugar or Metal). ~ A free-roamer can join any family, cat or bird, even if the family is a different type (a cat may join birds, etc.) but they have to be careful not to be eaten or to frighten the family. ~ Everyone ages 1 moon every Saturday (Friday for some people in a different timezone) and ceremonies may be started on that day as well. ~ If you start an ORP please use past-tense and third person, and please add your type (bird or cat) in the bio starter/header thing. If you don't know those things just search it up.
