HORSE RULES
- the living
ages:::
0. Horses age 1 year every two real life months. (all horses age at the same time)
1. The exception is for foals. after birth they can age as fast as you want them two in the first month of them being born (only up to a year.)
2.After the first month, they will age when every other horse is supposed to.
3.If you want your horse to speed age, feel free to ask me and I will think about it.
4.Horses die at the age of 21 (this young because of the wilderness.)
5.They can breed all the way up to this age with some health risks to themselves.
6. As soon as a horse dies, they go live with the ghost horses, or just disappear.
general::
1. Mares may breed at the age of 3. The can choose to reject a breeding, but can also accept a forcebreeding attempt.
2.Please follow the character form when making a character
3. The password ghosts belongs in the character form.
4. Players may have a max of 2 'dead' horses and 5 'live' horses
5. Only mares/stallions 3+ years may breed
6. You must have a breeding post to have a foal. Please no graphic posts either, this is site is E for everyone. Ok.
7. After a breeding, you have to PM Kallie with the stats of the mother and father. Name, Age, and Color.
- I then will use a coat color generator and figure out the foals color. Judging by the age of your horses and if it was a forcebreeding or not I will tell you the health of your foal. I will also tell you the gender of the foal using a randomizer type deal.
8. The foal can be born anytime after that. A foal can age up to a year in real months time. Remember, as the foal ages, so do the parents.
THE RANKS
Lead Stallion: Leads the herd.
Lead Mare: Leads the herd.
The Respected:: also known as the trusted are the oldest horses in the herd. They have been there the longest then the others and help out the leading pair.
The messenger:: The one horse that is chosen to meet with the other messenger about certain things that are important. This job is important and they are not to speak of it.
The Informed:: These very few horses know about the dead living nearby
The Mares:: The mares are ranked by age, by time in the herd and trust. Their foals will follow there steps and rank with them.
The Stallions:: It is the same as the mares.
The Outcasts:: these guys are kind of a bit different, they like to be alone.
Foals:: Those who are born in the herd.
The Rejected:: This is for the lowest ranking horse, they screwed up big time to be put here, the next punishment is exile. They only stay in this position temporarily, but have to fight hard and suck up to the lead's to get a higher ranking.
- the dead
0. The ghost horses do not age.
1. Horses that have died cannot breed with each other, or give birth. If they were pregnate at the time of death then the foal can either be unexistant or rp'ed with the mare.
2.'Dead' horses are not superior to the living equines.
3. The 'dead' horses do not need to eat, sleep, etc.
4. The 'dead' horses can talk to the living but it is supposed to be forbidden so don't get caught.
5. These ghost horses don't have the ability to fly, change colors, read minds, etc. They are just ghosts. The only thing they may do is reveal themselves to the living (they look like a transparant horse) or disappear and remain unseen.
the spirits need order too. (same as living besides adopted ranking instead of informed ranking because they know about the living.)
THE RANKS
Lead Stallion: Leads the herd.
Lead Mare: Leads the herd.
The Respected:: also known as the trusted are the oldest horses in the herd. They have been there the longest then the others and help out the leading pair.
The messenger:: The one horse that is chosen to meet with the other messenger about certain things that are important. This job is important and they are not to speak of it.
The Adopted:: If a mare gives birth to a stillborn foal, it resides with the dead and is claimed as adopted. (it will look as if it is a weanling)
The Mares:: The mares are ranked by age, by time in the herd and trust. Their foals will follow there steps and rank with them.
The Stallions:: It is the same as the mares.
The Outcasts:: these guys are kind of a bit different, they like to be alone.
Foals:: Those who are born in the herd.
The Rejected:: This is for the lowest ranking horse, they screwed up big time to be put here, the next punishment is exile. They only stay in this position temporarily, but have to fight hard and suck up to the lead's to get a higher ranking.
Special Horses
There are a few 'special horse' selections. You can ask to be one of these, but don't feel bad if you cannot take on this trait.
- Ability to see the ghost horses whether they like it or not.
- Ability for a ghost horse to appear alive for an hour at a time.
(Rasheeka has the power to make a mare foal a filly or a colt. She is available only at certain times, sometimes even appears right after a breeding.)
(Colateral has the power to see the ghost horses whenever he likes to.)
DO NOT HAVE YOUR HORSE 'COMMIT SUICIDE' THIS IS WRONG IN ALL WAYS. IF YOU HAVE A LIVING CHARACTER AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT 'DIE' THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO PLAY OUT A DEATH. (WESTNILE OR SOMETHING) I WILL NOT TOLERATE A POST LIKE THIS.
Ex:: Joyce was fed up, she had taken enough yelling in her life. She raced towards the steep cliff and lept of, soaring to her death.
THAT IS SUICIDE. NOT ACCEPTABLE.
