Welcome

OOC Rules

  • You must be 18+ to register.
  • You must join our Discord.
    • Our Discord functions as a central hub for all events, activities, notifications, and announcements.
  • You must use (and respect) content warnings.
    • To ensure the comfort and safety of all our members, we encourage you to use your judgment and use content warnings in your posts or thread titles as necessary.
      • To place a content warning in a post, you can type <cw>CW: BODY HORROR</cw> either at the start of the post or immediately before the content requiring a warning. The site will automatically format this text to be centered, red, and bold.
      • To place a content warning tag in a title, include the warning in brackets after your title. For example, your thread could be named Fun Thread Title [gore]. The site will automatically append a red content tag to the title using whatever terms you indicate.
    • On each member's profile, there is an "About the Author" section where it can be useful to indicate any hard limits or trigger warnings you may have concerning roleplay. Additionally, you can place requests for content warnings in the #cw-request channel on Discord.
  • You must be respectful.
    • [explain? - respect + kindness towards other members! we want people to feel safe here. you can privately let staff know if another member's conduct is making you uncomfortable]
  • We have a zero-tolerance AI policy.
    • Generative AI (such as ChatGPT) may not be used in any capacity on the website, including (but not limited to) generating writing, editing writing and generating artwork.

IC Rules

  • You must respect our site rating.
    • Our site follows a 3-3-3 [1] RPG rating, meaning that:
      • Swearing and mature language are permitted.
      • Sexual content is permitted.
      • Explicit violence is permitted.
      • Content warnings are always required for explicit violence, sexual content and potentially triggering content.
  • You must write 150 words per post.
    • There is no minimum wordcount for events such as clan meetings. Exceptions may also be made for tasks and expeditions.

Bio Rules

  • We require 200 words minimum for biographies.
    • This is 200 words combined for the history and personality sections. You may split up the minimum words as you desire (i.e. 150 words for history, 50 words for personality.) There is no minimum word count for characters under 6 moons.
  • We do not allow characters with backgrounds that primarily focus on overt sexism and homophobia.
    • Systematic sexism, homophobia and transphobia is not present in our world and is not something we are interested in exploring.
    • Abusive relationships that are focused on sexism/homophobia/transphobia are allowed, but some plots may not work with certain leaderships in play. For example, Skuastar of RiverClan would not notice or care if someone's parent is being emotionally or physically abusive towards them, but Yarrowstar of ThunderClan would. If you have any doubts, reach out to your clan's leadership to discuss possibilities and potential alternatives.
    • An example of what would be not allowed: your character is biologically female and is treated like a meek, baby-birthing machine throughout her history. This would not pass the vibe check as it implies that our world has systematic misogyny.
    • An example of what would be allowed: an event where your character is outed as gay. This would pass the vibe check as it is a unique instance in your character's history with a single bad actor.
    • Abusive relationships that are focused on sexism/homophobia/transphobia are allowed, but
    • The only exception we are currently allowing is the history of matriarchal leadership in RiverClan.
  • Please review our site history.
    • We do not expect you to follow the existing timeline exactly, but we ask that you take the site's history and historical figures into consideration when you're creating your character. This includes major events, the existing politics and the characterization of historical high ranks.
