In 2035, all seemed lost for the United States wolf population. They'd attempted to save them, but every try was a failure. On the brink of extinction, everyone simply gave up. Everyone except for the city of Lindore, that is. The small eastern city still believed in them, and didn't want to let the misunderstood species die. So, they created what they called Wolves Unlimited. Completely man-made and pack with every landform in the U.S., the reserve was a wolf's paradise. They introduced several wolves, as well as other common species that the wolves would naturally interact with. Amazingly, their effort paid off. The wolves established 4 packs, and with a break in the fence, wolves from the rest of the country traveled to live inside the sanctuary. Everyone went well, until conflict broke out. Some wolves wanted too much power and caused a war. A war that killed every wolf but one.
:::
Now, several years later, the packs are alive again. The people of Lindore introduced another set of wolves, and the packs were reborn. The wolves began to thrive again. Now, the packs are filling up and the population is growing again. However, it looks as if the wolves are floating to the dark side once more. Consumed by a lust for power, one pack is constructing a secret army. Rumors of war are spreading, and the wolves are alarmed. Afraid of losing all of the wolves again, the animal gods are interfering way too much. Wolves are being murdered, females raped, wolves are stealing and lying! The once perfect sanctuary has become frightening and chaotic. In the midst of war, nothing is clear. Will you live through the war, or fall like so many wolves before you? Welcome, to Wolves Unlimited.
* Plot characters have been placed up for adoption and need to be adopted ASAP. Pups Coreto of Lumination, and Nessa of Lightning are both up for the taking by anyone who doesn't already have a character involved in the plot.
* The gods also need to be claimed to continue the plot. Anyone who doesn't have 2 gods already should go and apply for one. :]
* The literacy for new profiles has been changed; you now have to write more about personality and history to get a wolf approved. Be sure to read over the form in the TBA board before making a new character.
* The following users have been deleted due to inactivity:

The Rules « Thread Started on Jun 4, 2009, 2:02pm »
** Hello, and welcome to Wolves Unlimited! Before you get to reading the rules, I'll warn you that there are quite a few. It's not that I'm trying to be overly strict, but without guidelines there is no way a forum could function properly. The rules here are pretty easy to follow, seeing that I've never really had a problem with them since the creation of v1, so don't let the length intimidate you!
TIME SYSTEM
Every six months is a year, and the seasons will play like this:
New rules will have a different color than the other text. This will most always be Red
Swearing is allowed. We're PG-13, so as long as you don't cuss to an extent that you would be labeled R, it's fine.
Respect. It is vital in the site's survival. Respect the admins, respect the moderators, and most importantly, respect the rules.
No fighting in OOC. AT ALL.
Don't bring your personal problems on here, you're not going to receive a pity party. It messes up the roleplays and no one wants to hear it.
What I say, goes. Do you see six stars next to your name? No. :]
If Kanae tells you to do something, do it! She's Co-Admin for a reason!
If you are going away, please post on the absent board. It makes it easier on all of us. If you haven't logged on in 30 days without notice of absence, you will be deleted without warning.
NO STEALING AVATARS! That bugs me BIG TIME. If someone has a pretty avatar, they took the time to search the internet to find it. You can do the same.
Here is a list of all the animals you can have in the Non-Wolf land and their life-spans: Cat 25 Cow 22 Deer 35 Dog 14 Fox 14 Goat 15 Hare 10 Horse 40 Grizzly Bear 32 Bison 30 Elk 22 Mountain Lion 20 Beaver 19 Squirrel 16 Ox 20 Lynx 19 Bobcat 15 Coyote 6 Caribou 15 Moose 12 Wolverine 15 Musx Ox 23 Pig, wild 25 Rabbit 9 Sheep 15 Wolf 14 Bird(Average of all kinds) 22 Chicken 15
If there is another you think should be added, send me a pm with the animal and its life span.
Alphas and alphesses are allowed to use liquid time. If I notice anyone else using it, they will be punished.
Posting
Posts must be at least 5 sentences long. That's a PARAGRAPH people! Dialog does not count. If you're not at least that literate, you don't need to be here.
You may post in either 3rd person(He, she, his, her), or in 1st person(I, me, my, mine). I won't be picky on it, but try and pick a style and stick with it. I don't want you to roleplay the same character in first and third person in the same thread, it gets confusing.
Everytime you use chatspeak in character, a kitten develops a malignant tumor and dies. [ths is cht spek. how r u? lyke omg! luvs ya, ttyl, byes!] So, don't use chatspeak. It's annoying and kills kittens.
Try to be descriptive. Details, well, we love details. Yay details!
Use correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling. We have a spell check button, use it!
Post often, post long, post happily. We are here to post, not to sit on our lazy arses.
Joining
Post in the correct registration board with your character's profile as soon as possible.
Post as soon as possible. If you have not got at least one character up in two weeks, you will be deleted without warning.
Fighting
Fighting MUST take place on the appropriate board.
If two wolves develop a deep hatred for the other, fighting is the answer. This isn't the best reason to fight, so try to avoid it.
Here we use a system where you have 5 posts(This # is subjective to change, so check this rule before fighting). You will have no more than two moves per post, a dodge and an attack, or just an attack.
You cannot dodge more than three times during a fight.
Be reasonable. If your wolf's attack is dodged, it is open to an attack, and shouldn't be able to dodge.
ONE ATTACK PER POST! And leave your attack open...example:(Blackie threw his head forward, his teeth open and aimed at the jugular.)This way, the attacked has a chance to dodge it.
Me or Kanae will decide the outcome of the fight. One of us will come in and give our decision based on your wolf's bio, hierarchy status, the extent of your wolf's injuries, and how fair and detailed you post. After our decision is posted you will be free to end the fight according to our decision.
Do not complain about a decision. It is fair and final, so do NOT try and cause trouble.
Characters
--General--
Be realistic. No wings or anything like that. Jewelry is allowed to an extent. Wolves aren't going to be able to obtain things like diamond bracelets or fancy earings and such, so be reasonable.
No elements or powers. Occasionally these will be used in a plot with the gods, but unless I tell you your wolf can have a specific power, I don't want to see any of it. Odd colors are allowed to an extent. I don't want a pink and green wolf walking around, it's ridiculous.
Odd eye colors are allowed. You can have any color on the rainbow, except for the three below. The conditions in which they are acceptable is next to them. :] Silver(only blind unless it's silver with a gold/brown/green rim) White(only blind) Black(only blind) Colors can be mixed, such as orange with a blue rim. All eyes must have pupils(the black in the center) and an iris(the color between the black and the white) unless the wolf is blind.(black, white, silver.)
You can have four wolves, and four non-wolves that must be active. Each character after that will cost 100 points.
Your first four characters can have odd eye colors and odd pelt colors for free. Anything else, jewelry, extra tails, etc. must be paid for. Each extra character cannot have special eye colors, jewelry, special markings, or pretty much anything that wouldn't be found on your average wolf without paying for it.
If one of your four characters has pups, you can keep the pups free of charge. I'm not saying keep all of them, be reasonable. Keep one or two for yourself and put the rest up for adoption.
You must wait for your character to be approved before you roleplay. If I'm gone, I will have another admin approve it.
Your charrie can die, be it from injuries, disease or old age.
Wolves live to be 13 years old. If you have questions on another animal age, PM me.
Wolves that are 10 years old are automatically considered elders.
Please use the correct term when referring to your wolf, be it male, female, or pup.
No wolves can have any special powers because the 'gods' said so. VERY rarely is an animal blessed, and either way only I can bless, considering I own both Liam and Dhaval. Do NOT put that your character is blessed in it's bio, no animals come here like that.
Adoption
You can adopt as many characters as you want as long as you can pay for them. Putting a wolf up for adoption is free. It costs 50 points to adopt any adult wolf (unless marked otherwise). It costs 20 points to adopt a pup.
Mating/Birthing
[list] Breed in the Spring and Fall.
DO NOT BREED UNLESS YOU ASK ME!!!
Avoid descriptiveness in mating. Wolves have only 1 way of getting it done...there's really nothing to be detailed about. But, if you must, put a R in the title.
Give birth in the Summer and Winter.
There is no certain gestation period in the roleplays, as long as the pups are born in the correct season.
When you ask me to have pups I will tell you how many to have.
Owning A Pack
Only males can own a pack. Females can share with their mate, but it is the male that owns it. The only circumstance in which a female may own a pack, is if her mate is killed or leaves.
You cannot own all of the packs. You can try, as part of a plot, but it won't happen. :]
You must keep one thread in your terra locked, and it must have a list of all of the: Alpha Alphess Beta Male Beta Female Males Females Pups This way I will know which wolves belong to which packs.
You may also adds things such as 'Elders' and 'Lead Hunters' if you wish to set your pack up like that, or be that detailed. It's not manditory, completely optional.
You must keep me updated on any important events that happen within your pack.
Owning a God
The gods used on the proboards are strictly fictional, so do not refer to them as anything else.
To claim a god, PM me a completed form referring to the god of your choice. The form can be found on the gods board.
I rarely decline god request, but if I do, please do not question or contradict my decision.
Gods are not creatures that show theirselves to the mortal very often, remember that.
If your god does make an appearance before a creature, and decides for whatever reason to grant it a wish or bless it, that is fine. But, your god must have a meeting with Liam in the Den of Decision. He will decide whether or not it is right to bless the creature.
You can NOT use your god to kill another animal just because you don't like it, or to aid your own characters. If this happens, your god will be taken from you.
Gods may use liquid time.
The Store
The store board will have a post listing all of the things that you may purchase for yourself or your character.
To buy something, create a new thread with your name in the title. Put a detailed description of what you want in the message. If you are buying a graphic, an admin will reply that your points have been subtracted, and tell you to go to the board of the designer of your choice and put in an application with them. The designer will get to you asap. If you are buying a character, or something for your character, an admin will reply that your points have been subtracted and that you can create the character or use whatever you purchased.
If you know you don't have enough points for something, don't bother trying to buy it.
