This is an Idea I've had festering for a while, but not got it into action yet. Until now... ;)
Well, basically, the Point of this is a Rewards System for long standing members and Common Posters to do with gaining new animals as Characters - or more specifically, one character.
So, long story short, when you reach the Alpha Stage(as in the stars and level just above your name on previous posts), or are upgraded to Admin/Co-Admin, you can apply below to receive ONE species of animal, as ONE character and use them almost normally.
The Rules:
#All characters must be on the Species List. New animals MAY POSSIBLY be added to the Species list below at a later date if we find necessary.
#Non Canine Characters may not join Packs, but they can create them within their own species. For example, a Fox may join a Dog/Wolf Pack, but a Hawk cannot. The same goes, that an Eagle cannot join a Hawk's Flock.
#Canine and Feline Characters' bios are the same as Dog's, but all others are not(the bio will be sent to you by PM on request).
#Only Dogs and Wolves may have Mutations - if you read the story correctly you will see that the Scientists only took in Dogs and Wolves for experimentation.
#You may apply for one character, of one species ONLY. Members found with several accounts will ALL be banned - this is a rule you cannot escape. We will find you, if not immediately.
#Other Species Characters may not be put up for Adoption. You get bored of it, kill it off.
#As we apply to(if not complete) realism here at Diamond Ridge, Battles are within reason. For instance, if someone's Bear starts Hunting your Rabbit, run. Because if you fight, you will die. Admins will decide the Outcomes of Equal Battles(Fox vs. Cat, Eagle vs. Small Dog etc.).
#Going back to the Adopting thing, you may only have one Animal Character. Ever. This Site's focus is Dogs and Wolves, so we don't want to become over-run with other Creatures. Choose your Animal Wisely; there's only one.
#And finally, SPAM Poster's simply aiming to get to the Alpha position faster will be caught and their Application denied. Carry on and you will be banned. Any post under 10 words, or posted more than once, counts as SPAM. Also off-topic posts.
