[/style][style=text-align: right; font-family: georgia; color: #551033; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 12pt;]welcome. This should be your first step, I'm both proud and happy to invite you to The Final Sunrise. A warrior RPG based off the wonderful series written by Erin Hunter. A big thank you to her for her great imagination that has set many young people on the idea to write. This is the fourth version of TFS, which just means we've been around for awhile and like to change with the times. I hope you enjoy your stay ! You're on your way to becoming one of the The Final Sunrise's family members. Here are our rules, we ask that you obey them, and treat us as a family. We all know tufts will occur, but please this is a fun environment! Please be aware we take our rules very seriously. If you fail to read them due to ignorance or stupidity that's your own fault. It's expected with all sites to read the rules given. We expect the same, without rules where would we find ourselves? Chaos that's where. basics. Activity checks will be done monthly. If you are not active you may lose positions or characters. Don't overstretch. Remember this site is based off a family, I want all to get along but it's okay if you don't just avoid confrontation. Nobody's perfect and I wouldn't expect that from anyone! Please respect each others background, and lifestyle. No one is here to judge only to help and have fun correct? There to is be no mention of hate in the form of race or religion. I will not tolerate foolish arguments either. (we) Be mature. CONFLICT! Please if you get into an argument with someone save the contents. If you see someone arguing in the c-box or thread please save the contents and inform the staff. The staff will then decide the punishments for both members. Do not beg for anything. It will be seen as cowardice in my eyes. I don't agree with such means. If you want something work for it. Don't try to impersonate staff. We will find you. Hunt you down, and ban you from this forum. It's easy to find your IP sweetheart. As far as posting goes, we don't have a double posting rule. We do ask that you use that handy 'edit' button in the top right corner. We all know when someone edits a post, so don't try to get away with trying to twist threads that way. It's confusing, even if members know what you said before you changed it. One more thing? Please don't delete your posts. That's what an admin is for, and if you'd like to delete a thread or post you need to ask a staffer first. *Notice, please do not use strong foul language on the c-box, there are children on this site o.o creation. Here at TFS, we have a very useful system called 'one character per account'. For every character you make, you must make a new TFS account. Make sure that you can tell who's character it is from the profile. For instance, Siren has her letters mixed. Also, be sure to post in the 'Member Listings' thread. (<--Click to go) At this time, we allow three free characters per new member. More can be bought with prints or as prizes. •PLEASE FOLLOW OUR FORM. Our form is a nice form and it's called a from so that you may use it. If we see any changes other than color changes to our form, you will be asked to change it back. (all) Otherwise, it's hard to add you to graphs, charts, and alliances. • NO KIT OR QUEEN CREATION unless you ask a staffer or if the queen/kit is part of an adoption program or plot line. It's very hard to say how a kit's parents died or are otherwise not played, and how a queen got pregnant when there is no tom that helped her along. Kittens must be rolled by staff. There will be no kits just randomly created. ;] IC. POWERPLAYING; This is an annoying way people roleplay sometimes. It's basically taking control of the other persons cat and writing what it does. EXAMPLE: Amberpaw ran toward Snakefoot with a happy grin on her plush white furred cheeks. Tackling into the tom's body, she squealed with delight. Snakefoot then whipped around and bit her foot. Making her cry out in fear. -She cannot post Snakefoot making an action, Snakefoot's rper only can. • No godmodding. This means your character is invincible. You cannot dodge every attack and not get hurt. You must also give the other character the opportunity to dodge your attack. Fair battling must occur if you feel the person you are rping with is not battling fair then PM a staff member for ruling. • Perfect cats are boring. As human we even have flaws. No cat can be perfect. They have to have some sort of flaw. Whether it be physical or mental. Personality flaws are ideal for those who don't want severe defective cats. All cats should have at least one personality flaw. • Killing other characters off. In order to do this you MUST have permission from the person who plays the character that you are killing. I would perfer you PM this proof to one of the staff. BREEDING/MATING: Forcebreeding is only allowed if it's part of a plot. As for normal breeding please do not be too graphic. o.o We do have young roleplayers here. KITS. We have a neat little system where we roll the kits, a mother and father will have their thread or discuss having kits then the mother will post in that thread with all the information needed and a staff will roll your kits. You may buy items for the roll and finished kits. REMEMBER. In the books that not all she-cats loved the cats who gave them kits. So feel free to ask a tom to have kits with your she-cat even if your cats aren’t mates. You can't just make your own kits and put them up for adoption, you also can’t just come in and make a kits bio. Playing a cat; let’s be playful but serious, no one likes a newborn kit talking like a warrior. Apprentices aren’t the best hunters or fighters. Cats don’t always catch every kill. Cats don’t run at the speed of light. (fall) And claws hurt. Play your cats as they would be in a warriors book. If they get hurt they can’t be perfectly healed by their next thread, if a kit is newborn they can’t talk or walk perfectly. We have a minimum of 150 words for a post so be sure to follow this battle. • Please see STAT INTRO post below this post! It's VERY important. •Post accordingly, the opponent has the right to ignore an attack if it seems to far-fetched or out of line. If you start floating or flaming, then your post can very well be counted as void. • Killing your opponent is only allowed if the role-player of that cat gives you permission. If you kill the cat then your post will be deleted/void. I've mentioned this atleast once before in the other rules. It's quite simple. Do NOT kill without PERMISSION. • Fatal wounds are allowed, you may injure your opponent based on skill and stats. While the wounds you leave will be fatal you cannot kill the cat, but if the cat is wounded enough a staff member will ask the defeated cat to seek medical attention. The attacker MUST stop attacking and allow the wounded cat to escape when staff demands it. • High positions. It is EXTREMELY rare for a warrior/apprentice to defeat a high position in battle. Because one, the stats will be programmed higher than those of an apprentice or warrior. That does not mean that a high position cannot be defeated. Those who roleplay often will see their stats raise. It is quite possible if you post enough as that low position cat that you can defeat those higher then you. stats. • ATTACK ! The ability to cause harm to another cat. If your cat's attack is high it has a better chance of causing injury against another cat in battle. If that cat's defense is low that is also a good chance for the attack to cause a higher amount of damage. • DEFENSE ! A high defense means that a cat doesn't take an attack as hard as someone with low defense would. A higher number also means this cat handles injuries differently taking less damage than most. It's wise to keep this number higher or near your attack rate. • SPEED ! Speed is an amazing stat to have. This also boosts your ability to catch faster prey. Great for retreating or unleashing a speedy attack on an enemy. If you are fast you have a better chance of dodging an enemy's attack or danger anywhere. •STEALTH ! Being stealthy is more than being able to crawl about undetected. It's the ability to slip up behind a cat and claw their belly before they even think to blink. Being able to sneak into an enemy camp and snatch a kit from it's mother's stomach. • HUNTING ! Speaks for it's self really, but we shall go into details anyway shouldn't we. Your cat's ability to catch food. How effective they are in trapping and killing their prey. You can be good at hunting and still have a low number of prey, it's a game of chance. Every time a warrior hunts he/she will not always catch something. •INTELLIGENCE ! A smart cat can get themselves out of trouble by talking. A smart cat normally doesn't get into that situation as is. In the case they are dragged into one they can get out of it. Smart cats are quick to think up plans for attack or defense. The ones who always have a way of saving the day. •ENDURANCE ! The figure head of all stats. To endure is to survive. If you have a high attack but no endurance you can't attack forever you'll get tired and you'll be exhausted. Who will defend you then? It's important to have a high endurance for speeding, hunting, and attacking. • WISDOM ! All cats have to be wise to survive the forest. This will affect how well your cat is respected among other clan-mates. It will also keep them safe when patrolling and keeping sight of swift enemies. OMG, how do we get STATS? • You get them when making your application • When you complete threads • During activity checks • Winning OTMS or Contests • Doing something rewarding for the site pms. Let's be frank. I don't want to hear about people receiving personal messages about joining a site. If I do. You are banned. Gone. For Good. You want members WORK FOR THEM like us. Kthnxs.
