Map Rules and Guidelines

Abide All The FeralHeart Rules In Public Maps
When a public map is being used, all of the FeralHeart rules apply. Please keep your language and behavior appropriate. 

Behave In The Chat
Keep the language appropriate in public chats. Please keep topics that can be found triggering or offensive in private chats, such as Party or Whisper. Discrimination, disrespect, and overall poor behavior will not be tolerated. If you are caught bullying or mistreating members, punishement will be in order. Keep cursing to a miniumum.
.
Inappropriate Behavior
Do not buttswing over other characters. We realize some users may find it innocent or harmless, but it can appear sexual in nature to parents, guardians, or other users. You will be banned from the group upon notice if you're caught breaking this rule.
.
Sharing The Download
Do not give out the private map download to anyone. If a friend of yours wishes to join the role-play, have them whisper an Administrator of the group. Do not upload the map download to third party websites.
.
Respect The Staff
Respect the staff members and their actions. They work hard to keep the role-play going, and do their best to serve as role-models. If you suspect a staff member is abusing their powers, please private message an Administrator with proof and the situation will be looked into.  Do not mini-mod. There is a fine line between being helpful and impersonating a staff member. .

Role-Play Rules

Appearance
Keep your lion looking realistic. I do not wish to see midget lion/nesses running about in the pride. Also keep your markings decent looking, and do not have neon, jet black, or pure white markings. They are unrealistic, and highly annoying. Also we can have maned lionesses, but please refrain from using a full mane. Only a half mane please and thank you. Also keep your eyes realistic. The only eyes types allowed in this role-play are normal, slits, black, black slits, whole, whole slits, contracted, contracted slits, blind, and blind slits. 

Injuries
Do not go out, and randomly hurt yourself for no reason. It gets rather annoying. When you do obtain an injury though please keep the injury realistic we don't want it to be a really dumb one that a lion/ess wouldn't really get out int he wild. Also once injured you can not poof heal you must live out the injury until it is fully healed in the role-play. Especially if you fight the injury must be sure to be included through the role-play. If you obtain an injury in a fight do not ignore it or pretend it did not happen. 

.
Heat Season
Keep all inapproriate things about your heat out of this role-play. We do not need to know the amount of blood gushing from there or you rubbing your toosh in a nearby males face. This role-play is a mature role-play, but do keep in mind of members who might possibly be young of age. Keep in mind your heat will start when the females reach teens years.
.
Mates and Mating
First off do not mate-beg/claim it is highly annoying for everyone! Also keep in mind you CAN NOT make both of YOUR characters be mates or produce fake mates that do not exist. We need to be able to see them or just say they died in a previous time in your character's life. Teens do keep in mind you can't have mates until adult age nor can you have sex. I know it might not be very realistic, but we do not promote the behavior of young sex. Puppy love is just fine though. There will also be no raping in this role-play. It can be a trigger for some, and honestly it is not needed in the role-play. Keep your smexy moments in private chat, No one wishes to read your porno. Also keep in mind incest is alright to possibly happen in this lion role-play. It may not be smiled upon, but it is allowed.
.
Pregnancy and Birthing
All pregnant females are to stay within the territory, and avoid fighting at all times. Also the females will be pregnant for four real life days. Unless you discuss with one of the Staff about having a premature cub. Then it will be a two real life day pregnancy. Also a female must begin having contractions within the first Feral Heart day. Also the female must be alone when birthing or at least take two females with her to help birth, and care for the cub.
.
NewBorns and Aging
Newborns are to drink milk only. Do not forget or allow your mother to forget either or you might possibly die. Also once you are born you immediately imprint on your mother. Do not attempt to imprint on a rock that was annoying to deal with once. Also you will not be allowed to wander or see your father until your mother takes you to him. Also we do not want for people to poof to an age randomly within a few hours. We wish for you to wait a few weeks before aging from a teen to an adult and etc.
.
Battling
Keep your battles realistic. When you challenge someone to a fight you had to have spoken to them and a Staff member OOC to approve the fight. Once the fight begins please focus on the fight, and nothing else. Do not focus or participate too much in the Group Chat. Keep in mind you will not have a bank of stamina or be able to do unlimitied dodges. Once you are injured please incorperate it into the role-play. Do not shrug off the injury like it is nothing. Also be sure to read one another's posts. We do not wish for anything to be misunderstood or missed or it might create a quarrel OOC. If you suddenly wish to back out of the fight it is too late you signed up or agreed to it. You must continue through with it. If you signed up for a sparring match with anyone in the pride be sure to not use your claws during the match. It is not a to-the-death match it is just fun play fighting. So refrain from causing injuries to your partner.
