-Bluefire Dragonz's Breeding Thread-
Applying for a Breeding:
-> When the thread is open for breeding slots and you're ready for your SoA to have cubs/pups, post here with the form below filled out. If you don't include all this information, I will ignore the breeding. Coloring from cert images sucks a**. Please include a large uncerted image of each parent! If you allow throwbacks, uncerted images for ancestors helps too. Small, composite or cert pictures give me a headache.
-> Each time the thread opens for breedings, rules specific to that opening will be posted and dated. Please read them before entering! They may have changed since the last time.
-> About the 'pride' section: The SoA must already be part of the pride and/or have the pride cert. If you do not yet have the pride cert, but you already have the joining RP, you may post the joining RP. If your SoA has not been approved to join the pride or does not have the joining rp finished, the cubs will be considered rogues.
-> You must send a log (or links to threads in the guild) of at least five roleplays done by each parent in the breeding. These must be completed roleplays, not uncompleted ones. If there are two parents (a mother and a father), at least one of these roleplays must be with the two characters together, so we at least know they've met ICly.
*As a note: Blue considers a full rp to be 15 posts long (the length of a one 'page' thread), at least. A post should be at least four 'lines' long, or a small paragraph. She'll be lenient though, as long as the page has at least 7 posts by each owner.
A Good Example:
Quote:
Ebere laughed softly, " Oh you just try and be rid of me! My Aunt once said I am like one of those little pet things. Once found, I never go away again." She teased gently, glad that she could comfort her new friend. Taking a more serious tone, she nuzzled Hippy's shoulder again, "I will travel with you and when the time comes I will stay by your side. Everyone needs a healer around." She winked faintly, finally moving away to get the dark lioness a bit of space.
-> Each parent must send 15K to Blue (though its preferred that one parent send the whole 30k) to pay for the breeding after the roll. Cubs will not be colored until the payment arrives. If there is only one cub in the litter, only one owner needs to send 15K. If this is a rogue breeding, the single parent still pays just 15K. Familiar breeding are 5K per parent.
-> Each time you breed your SoA, you need entirely new roleplays. You can't use the roleplay(s) from the breeding before.
-> As an incentive for roleplaying, anyone who sends in ten roleplays for each parent will be getting an extra cub besides the one(s) rolled.
-> I will roll in this thread for the number of cubs/pups you'll be having. Please check back to see. You can then assume that the female is pregnant, and RP accordingly.
Special Terms
-> Throwbacks: If you say 'yes,' there's a possibility you'll get throwbacks to an actual SoA somewhere in the cub's heritage. Please post all images that you can/want of your SoA's ancestors (grandparents, great-grandparents, great-grandparents, etc.; aunts and uncles are also fine). Saying 'yes' does not guarantee a throwback, however. At no time will an SoA look exactly like his/her ancestor; this is only possible through customs, and you must get the colorist's and owner's permission to do this.
-> Randoms: In a rogue breeding, this is not a 'no' option; you will automatically get the random option whether you want it or not, since we get to decide what the father looks like. However, in any other non-rogue breeding, if you put 'yes' for random, the colorist has the option of throwing in markings/colors/traits that may not appear in the lineage, sometimes even a completely different-looking SoA.
Blue will very rarely make a cub look totally different from its parents. Unless you mention in your breeding form that you wouldn't mind a crack!random, the random option just frees me to add small touches I think will make the cub look better.
-> New! Blue now has the option to rate how much liberty you want her to take with the litter! A rating of 1 means it'll stay looking just like the parents, while a rating of 5 means they may look nothing like the parents. This is just to express your wishes on the matter, its up to Blue how much randoming she does, up to your rating.
-> New! Blue now has an option to let her know if you would like twins in your litter or not! This does not guarantee twins in the litter, but opens the option for her when she's coloring. Also, if you love twins and really want them, showing proof of twins in one or both parent's family makes it more likely for them to appear in your litter. The more twins in the family, the more likely the trait is to be passed on. Having a parent who's a twin makes it even more likely.
-> Customs: You can now custom cubs in a litter without having to go get a custom slot first; you still pay full price of a cub to do this. (500k) However, you may only get one custom every month this way (if you get one in January, you need to wait until February to custom another cub into a litter like this). This once-a-month counts whether the cub is a regular SoA or a familiar. You may only have up to two customs in a litter, though custom slots/pet trades do not apply to this rule. The only exception to this is if a parent is a fertile hybrid. In that case, you will only have one custom slot.
This option only remains open for 24 hours after you receive the litter. In lieu of a custom, you may also pay 500k to keep one of the cubs already in the litter if you've already kept a cub from that SoA. This still takes up your breeding custom slot for the month.
-> Customing into a hybrid litter condition:
1. There is only one custom slot per hybrid litter.
2. If you custom into a hybrid litter, you must wait three months before you can custom into any breeding.
3. The custom hybrid has an equal chance of being fertile/infertile. It will have a fertility roll done the same way as its littermates.
Getting the Cubs:
-> You'll be PMed the cubs when they arrive. When you get the information gathered, have one person post in Blue's Certing Thread with each of the cubs' names and owners. Then you're free to say that the cubs/pups have been born, or you can wait until a set date to RP the birth, if you'd like.
-> If you own an SoA, and you breed him/her, you may only ever have one of their offspring to keep. If you breed two of your SoA together, this means you may only have one of their cubs, and if either of them breed again, you may not have anymore of their cubs. The only way around this is to pay 500k to use one of the breeding's custom slots; keeping one of the premade cubs or customizing another one.
-> You may not sell any of the cubs/pups, nor do 'pet trades' for them. You may, however, give them away to friends or newbies. If that option doesn't appeal to you, however, you may always give the cubs/pups back to the thread (please inform Blue of this) and we'll run a free event for them within the thread itself. Also, your last option is to pretend that the cub/pup died at birth...mortality rates in Africa are very high, particularly among predators.
Related information:
-> Gods and mortals can mix and have offspring. The children of such a pairing will always be mortal, but will have seer-like qualities.
-> Males can breed at any time! Unlike females, who have to wait until their litter reaches adolescence to breed again, males can have offspring with multiple females. But you still need five different RPs every time you breed!
-> If you have a female and you don't have any male to breed with, you can say that she mated with a random rogue. In this case, you'll get a surprise with the color and patterns of the offspring (as you won't know what the father looks like). However, in this case, you can only have 1/2 of the total number of cubs/pups at the maximum...for example, a normal lion-lioness pairing can have up to six cubs maximum, but if that lioness bred with a rogue, she could only have up to three cubs maximum.
-> Adolescents can breed and have offspring, but since they've not reached maturity, they can only have 1/2 the maximum number of offpring for their species. If they've also mated with a random rogue, they can only have 1/4 the maximum number of offspring for their species.
-> Hybrids are available! Leopard x lion, lion x cheetah, and cheetah x leopard crosses are all possible. These cubs have a 1/10 chance of being fertile; the rest will be sterile and may not produce any offspring. Hybrid breedings are also allowed only one custom slot, and it takes up your breeding customs for three months.
-> If something on the species list below is crossed out, I cannot currently do breedings for it, because they need templating.
-> I do not do god x god breedings - you must go to a god colorist for those.
Special Pridal Considerations
