１. Creation Requirements
Note: We have no character limit!
The following will not be allowed in any character's backstory: Extreme abuse, homophobia, transphobia, self harm, mutilation, or s/icide.
All personalities and backstories must be at least 80 words long. Keep in mind that this is a literate server and we expect bios to reflect this.
You will need to check the allegiances before creating a character. This is because there are some limited ranks (such as royalty, animi, and healers) and the name you want to use may be taken!
Disabilities and mental illnesses must be applied for in #disability-submissions. This is to minimize the risk of members misrepresenting or harmfully depicting any of them! Abusing or misrepresenting will result in consequences.
Character designs and coloration will need to be at least semi-accurate to their tribe’s canon description unless they have the mutation item applied. (Due to cultural appropriation issues, listed in the FAQ, feathers are not allowed to be worn behind ears, in headbands, or on crowns).
Hybrid dragons will require a hybrid item if they are genetically at least 25% a second tribe. In order for hybrid dragons to have the mutations associated with their non-dominant tribe, they must be at least 25%. If they are to have severe cases of some mutations (ex. feathers, frost/firescales, etc.) they must be at least 50% a part of each tribe. They also must be dominant for the tribe that this mutation is originally from.
２. The Shop
The shop can be found by doing !shop over in #bot-commands. Some of the things you may find on there are mutations, hybrids, tribrids, and other special abilities. Items that are in the shop can not be applied to a character without the item.
2.5. Mutation cap
You are allowed to have 3 mutations with one item, and on top of that you can have one shop item and/or a giveaway item.
３. Changes to Characters
After a character is accepted, you may not do the following:
Drastically change their image, personality, or any other key factors. Personalities may only be changed if they are developed in roleplay over multiple interactions.
After 2+ weeks: Mutations can not be added or taken away, a characters age can not suddenly jump up or down (ex: you can change a character from 1 to 3, but not from 20 to 5). Any other changes must be logged in #character-updates.
4. Adoptions
When posting an adopt, please follow the format that is pinned in #character-adoptions.
When a character is posted for adoption, they may not be utilized in roleplay by the person who posted them in any way (ex. through the pov of a different character who is/isn't related to them in some way). This is because the way that they are played by the original poster may conflict with how the adopter will play them. If one is found playing a character that they have posted for adoption, the rp they are involved in may be voided.
１. Activity
Royalty and animus dragons will undergo activity checks. Every high ranking character will be expected to be apart of an active thread monthly. Failure to do so will result in the character being removed on the third activity check. They will be per character, so do not make any more than you will be able to handle.
NOTE: If you are on a hiatus for less than 14 days, you will NOT be excluded from that month's activity check. Accordingly, anything 14 days and over WILL be excused for the month's check.
２. Limitations + Permissions
The limitations for high ranks are as followed: (note, these may not always be open so please make sure to check allegiances-and-trackers)
1 Queen/King/Monarch
3 Princesses/Princes/Royals (no more than 2 per tribe)
3 High Ranks
Royalty will need to check with staff before making any big decisions such as declarations of war, exile, and other events that may have a big impact on roleplay.
You need the permission of a tribe's ruler to make a high rank (examples of high ranks are SeaWing council, advisor, princess, prince, etc.)
If you are submitting a potential ruler who is not related to the previous ruler, the character cannot have challenged the previous ruler without being related to them. We allow alternatives that result in the ruler's death, such as (but not limited to) the character being appointed after the previous ruler's assassination, and coup d'etats. Be aware the ability to make up your own reason for the ruler's death is only available if there is not already an established reason for the previous ruler's death.
The average age at time of death in this server is 150 years old. Any dragons older than 150 may be disallowed if they are submitted.
３. Animi Powers and Limitations
Items enchanted by an animus may not be given to another character or destroyed unless given Mod approval.
Immortality enchants, immediate death/ harming of another character enchants, and enchanting another character to be an animus will not be allowed unless for plot purposes.
４. Grace Period
After a new Ruler is appointed, they can not be challenged for at least one in real life month. After that, any eligible dragon may challenge them. However, this can only be done with staff approval.
