____________________________________________________________ | | | Sunrise MUCK's Leonine Policy - Part 1 | |____________________________________________________________| | | | Lionesses | | | | There are no restrictions on the number of Lionesses | | a single player may have, nor are there restrictions on | | what age the Lionesses have to be. If you want all your | | alternate characters to consist of Adult Lionesses, or | | Lioness Cubs, or Adol. Lionesses - have fun! | | | | Lions | | | | The species of Lion, unlike Lionesses, is restricted; | | but only to a degree. You may have as many male leonine | | characters as you like, but after the first four, each | | additional Adult Male Lion requires an application to the | | Wizards. Unlimited additional AMLs may be granted subject | | to your activity with all the others. If your application | | is not successful, you can improve your activity and try | | again a few weeks later. :) | | | | Additionally, a player may request a male leonine at | | any stage in the life cycle - as a Cub, Juvenile, | | Adolescent, Adult or Elder. However, Lions requested at | | any point in the life cycle other than Cub, or those that | | age faster than the life cycle laid out below, ARE NOT | | ELIGIBLE TO BECOME A KING. In other words, you can get an | | Adult Male Lion without having to wait a year, but you can | | never become a King with that character. | | | | Barbaries and White Leonines | | | | These rare subspecies are no longer restricted, but | | please use your discretion and don't get TOO many of | | either. Barbaries and Whites may be restricted again in | | future if their numbers become too high. | | | | The Leonine Life Cycle | | | | This is the life cycle of leonines in 'real time': | | | | Cub: 0-3 months | | Juvenile: 3-6 months | | Adolescent: 6-9 months | | | | Thus, after nine months, your leonine character will | | 'officially' be an Adult. | | | | Characters that reach old age have their own age tag: | | Elder. There is no strict point at which an Adult lion | | becomes an Elder - it is subject to having RPed the | | character reaching old age. Typically, a lion might become | | an Elder after being RPed as an Adult for about a year. | | | ------------------------------------------------------------
