Monthly Feat Entry Requirements

• Wild Rukaan only. 

• Entry must be fullbody colored with complex background or 800+ words (1200+ for 2 Rukaan)

• Collaborations are allowed in classes which allow more than one Rukaan per piece, please list who did what portions of the image/literature

• "Sheets" are not permitted, each Rukaan may only be entered into one class per submission

• Many classes are set in Lore Locations.

• Leasing is not allowed.

Treetop Run (speed bonus) 

The elven houses, built in trees, are connected by wooden bridges and walkways of surprising strength. Race across these trails as fast as you dare. Up to two entrants per submission. 

Setting: Suspended bridges between the giant redwood trees of the Twilight Forest.

Wilderness Cross Country (strength bonus) 

Near to the village there is a naturally formed, challenging trail full of jumps, cliffs, streams, bristly bushes, and all sorts of other obstacles - but nothing built or made. The elves and local Rukaan use it to practice their forest running. Now its your turn. Follow the narrow trail and try to best the difficult obstacles as quickly as possible. Those confident in their abilities may choose to carry extra weight. Only one entrant per submission.

Setting: Forested valley with natural obstacles.

Balancing Act  (stamina bonus) 

The slender structures of the elves were not designed with Rukaan in mind. A series of simple, decorated but small poles elevated a few feet off the ground are used by elven children to practice their balance. For a Rukaan, they pose a great challenge. How long can you stand completely still without falling off?  Up to two entrants per submission. 

Setting: Shaded forest floor with narrow balancing poles.

Elven-Style Wrestling (defense bonus) 

In this contest, each Rukaan is given a wooden slab or beam to balance in their antlers. They will then face another Rukaan in a match using only the strength of their bodies, not their antlers. One may win either by making their opponent drop their wooden piece, or by getting them to admit defeat. This competition will rely more on balance, flexibility and inginuity than brute strength.   Up to two entrants per submission. NPCs may be used as opponents, if desired.

Setting:  Shaded forest floor covered in shed tree needles. The edges of the field are marked with low carved wood.

Maze of Mists (intelligence bonus) 

The forest around the settlement has been altered by generations of elven magic, forming a magical maze. The constant mist adds to the challenge. Rukaan must use their wits, and senses beyond eyesight, to succesfully navigate this forest realm in the fastest time.  Up to two entrants per submission. 

Setting: A confusing maze of mist obscures anything too far away. (Complex background requirements still apply!)

  • Favored - +5 to a wild Rukaan’s group feat entry score if a sympathetic god or spirit is significantly featured in the art or story. Art: Must be fullbody. Lit: Must have additional 400 words over required wordcount. 

• Class Experience: For each time the Rukaan has previously entered the same class within the same feat setting/theme and not won 1st place, they will get a +2 bonus in following months that they enter. This will cap at 5 entries (+10 total bonus) and will refresh with each new setting/theme. To claim, link the previous non-winning class results in the bonus field of the entering Rukaan's form. Junior classes count towards experience. Fun classes do not count towards experience.

• Loki’s Meddling (non-hereditary trait)- Chance to receive a Trickster’s Token in monthly show/feat classes (including Fun and Junior classes) when the Rukaan or their handler is depicted cheating, regardless of placement. They will not lose ‘Class Depiction’ points in their score for being depicted cheating. 

In addition to the monthly feat classes, there are two "practice classes" to allow beginning Rukaan to compete on a level playing field. These are also held monthly, but work a bit differently from the monthly classes.

The Junior Class is a “junior” version of one of the main stat classes being held that month with the same class description and stat but limited to Rukaan with 5 points or fewer in the class stat. These will rotate through the various classes over the course of the theme, one per month. Rukaan do not have to be depicted as young to enter this class; junior refers to less experience and not less age. 

A Fun Class is a seperate class following the same setting and theme as the monthly feat classes. This will be a stat-less class.

Please include this information block for each Rukaan to be rolled.

Entries should be submitted to the Feats gallery folder.
