Seasons & aging
Seasons will change once every two real life months. I'll start with Spring then move to Summer then to Autumn then to Winter and repeat. The seasons will be used in role playing (I hope) and especially during battles and other missions. Seasons will also be used during things like pup stats. While appearances and genders are chosen randomly, numbers will depend on the season. For example, a female giving birth during spring will most likely be able to birth healthier pups rather than giving birth in Winter. She is also more likely to survive.
Aging for fully grown characters is your choice. But all pups MUST be aged to three years old (see below for details. If you choose to age your character, they age one year every time their season of birth comes around. Characters can die whenever their creators choose, but for a character to die of old age, they must be at least ten years old.
Pups on the site under the age of 3 can only be born, not created. A pregnant mother will give birth after she has posted in five threads with her being pregnant. She must have also posted in each thread five times. After this requirement has been completed, she can give birth.
Newborn pups will have aged once they have posted in ten threads and made at least three posts in each thread. They can then rewrite their bio for an older dog or wolf or halfbreed. After that, they can be apprenticed by the alphas of their pack according to skill. They become full members after posting in three training threads and after they participate in one battle.
