Hello, and welcome to Forever Young! We are an AU, forest territory beginner-advanced Warriors roleplay forum with an aim toward more mature members. Based on ProBoards' Terms of Service, I ask that if you are under the age of 13, you save the URL to this forum and then exit until you are 13 years old. If you are found to be under the age of 13, you will be banned. However cruel this may seem (as I know there are a lot of very mature kids under the age of 13), we prefer not being shut down.
If you're still here, I'm going to hope that you're at least 13 years old. In that case, wonderful! Please read on.
1. Respect is necessary at all times. If you are disrespectful to anyone, staff or not, you will face consequences depending on the severity of your actions.
2. This is an account-per-character forum. Please create one out-of-character account before your first character account. This out-of-character account will be used for activity checks, the tracking boards, and whatever else may require a lot of editing for various characters.
3. Advertisements belong only in their proper boards. If you are found to be messaging advertisements to other people, you will be banned. We also do not take plagiarism lightly here. If you copy something from us, you are subject to be banned.
1. Your Clan's leader will choose your cat's warrior name. You may request a warrior name, but that does not mean you will get it. Please note that this rule is only for kits and apprentices aging up to warriors.
2. Only canon prefixes and suffixes are allowed within the Clans. If your cat is a loner, rogue, or kittypet and you wish for them to have a Clan-like name (prefix + suffix-based), then they must follow this as well. It may sound odd, but it's to avoid people creating outside cats with non-Clan names and having them join a Clan in-character with the name.
3. Only realistic eye colors and pelt colors/markings will be accepted. This does mean that your silver cat cannot have blue eyes, as if you look into cat genetics, it's very rare for a cat without a mostly-white pelt to have blue eyes. There will also be a limit on other rarities, such as male tortoiseshells/calicoes, albinos, and half-wild cats.
1. No godmoding (playing a cat as invincible) or powerplaying (playing another member's cat without permission).
2. Mary Sues and Gary Stus will not be accepted. These are perfect characters, and they can be perfect on the good side of the spectrum (having very few flaws, no flaws, or flaws that aren't very prominent) or on the bad side (having little to no good traits). We ask that you keep a good balance on character traits.
3. Cats may not commit suicide or do anything self-harming (unless it is to save their life). A cat's instinct is to survive.
4. We do not have a word count, but please be courteous to the member/s you're roleplaying with and try to match their post lengths if you can.
1. You may join with a pregnant queen (or several) and fathers can be NPCs. In roleplay, cats do not have to be mates to have kittens. Litters will have a roll of 1-5 (unless a special event dictates otherwise) and the kits' health will vary based on the season. Female cats may have up to 3 litters in their lifetime (if the female is a surrogate for a same-sex couple, this does not count towards one of her litters).
2. Forbidden relationships, as of right now, are allowed. This rule is subject to change if they become too frequent. Please make sure to PM me so I am aware of the forbidden relationship and can keep a count on how many there are.
3. Female leaders and female deputies may have kittens. Leaders will be temporarily replaced by their deputies to do Clan duties and deputies will be temporarily replaced by another warrior. Medicine cats will face in-character consequences if found to have kittens.
4. Non-binary and non-heterosexual cats can have kittens. The roleplayers involved must either find a male donor (for a couple with female organs) or a female to carry the kittens (for a couple with male organs). The genetics used will be from the donor/surrogate and from one of the two cats in the couple, decided out of character by the roleplayers.
5. Any sexual content found in roleplaying will result in deleted posts and potentially a ban. Please, be appropriate and fade to black. Characters raping one another is also unacceptable, regardless of whether or not both roleplayers are okay with it.
If you're still here, I'm going to hope that you're at least 13 years old. In that case, wonderful! Please read on.
