Zee and Sirius
Our most beloved characters are now having their final litter. We intend to be relaxed and easy with the pups we choose in the end, but this does not reflect on how much this litter means to us. What we are creating with this bloodline is one of the most important things to both of us, and we hope to see this family running amok on the site for many, many years to come.



ACTIVITY - As a general rule we don’t want to reclaim any puppies, we only want to ensure that the pups fall into the right hands. We want the pups to feel like they belong to you rather than to us. With that said, the Fatalis family as a whole is very active and we’d like it to stay that way. I cannot stress how important it is to us that these pups see play and do not become abandoned. This pairing had a high level of interest last go around, and we know there are still players out there who have been auditioning for a Fatalis pup without success. Choosing players is already hard enough, please do not apply if you are not excited about (and feel like you can remain active with) your potential puppy, as that could keep a very wanted puppy out of someone else's hands. We will only look to reclaim a pup if we feel the pup has been abandoned or if you leave the site or vanish without letting us know what's going on, and in that scenario we reserve the right to give an IC reason for your pup being gone.

Because OOCly on Ardent, pup applications are required to have clear guidelines on when a pup will and will not be reclaimed for activity, we are putting down some loose ‘rules’ for clarity. We would like to see every mandatory thread attended (barring exemptions given by Sea and RK for IRL things) while your pup is still young, and hope to see a pup reach somewhere around 50 posts in their first year on-site. If we have to give a number of consecutive months without play (and without warning / discussing it with us) to reclaim, I think it is fair to say we reserve the right after 3 months without posts. This is mostly legal jargon to protect us and our pups should a player vanish off the face of the earth, and RK would like to stress that we will not be picking through pups with a fine tooth comb waiting for the moment we can reclaim, nor will we reclaim without warning. We’re pretty reasonable, just talk to us and let us know if you’re going to be going through a slow period, we all have ‘em.


ALIGNMENT - So far the Fatalis family is fairly spread out around the alignments, and while any alignment will be accepted, they will not be risking raising an uncontrollable child who may shame the name and it's likely that as soon as any psychopathic/bloodthirsty/overly cruel characteristics began to show, that the pup would be simply put down. It's for that reason that we won't be accepting a pup who falls really far on the Chaotic Evil alignment. If this sort of thing develops naturally ICly we will understand, but players should be aware that while Zee and Sirius love each and every one of their children, they are not above culling a potential problem.


COLOURS - Blues and browns are common from Zee, and purple from her mother. Sirius himself has muted colors like blacks and silvers, but the tones of his parents are unknown. We are pretty open on what colours can be picked for this litter If you can not afford colors/markings you like, feel free to talk to us. We may hand out some passes

MUTATIONS - As we are rolling a cursed litter pass, there is a possibility of themed mutations or disabilities in this litter. In the scenario that we roll more then one positive mutation we may place them up for grabs. This might be rolled, or decided upon on the apps we like the most. (Purchasing your own mutation will not affect this either way) Mutations are common in this line, but not having them won’t hurt your chances, we know most people can't afford them. For anyone with an inheritance pass, you can choose between cat claws, saber fangs, thicker fur, kudu horns (small) or Zee’s newest halloween-themed mutation, crystalline fur. Outside of that there is a wide variety of mutations within the Fatalis family, we are pretty open about them. Dire height is another thing commonly seen so far in their pups, but feel free to go as big or as small as you’d like.

DISABILITIES - As we are rolling a cursed litter pass, there is the possibility of disabilities in this litter. In the event we roll more than two there is a chance one might be up for grabs, or that we might be forced to ask a player to accept a disability. This is a Halloween themed disability, and there could be some fun to be had with it. Please keep in mind that while OOCly we have nothing against disabilities, ICly your character may (or may not!) get a lot of flak from the family for being visibly disabled. We can’t say for certain, but it’s definitely a possibility. If it will bother you to have family members who may look down on your character as lesser or broken in some way, you may want to apply for a healthy pup over a cursed-disabled one. (This also heavily depends upon the disability in question.)



FAMILY RELATIONS - Sirius and Zee will be integral in the puppy stages of their lives. You can assume they will be there at night, in the morning, and frequently throughout the day, once they are old enough to have periods without their parents there. This is also Zee’s first litter since being kidnapped/enslaved and suffering the trauma surrounding that. She missed a good portion of her second litter’s lives to this event, and not all of her children have forgiven her / are currently on speaking terms with her. It is very likely she will be a bit of a helicopter parent this time around, as well as being exceedingly doting on these children to make up for her being absent from the last litter’s formative year. We are always happy to work things out ooc, if you want to check with us how much or what you want your pup to know about what's going on in the family around them. We want everyone to feel included and a part of any ongoing plots. If you feel your character needs more IC interactions feel free to hit us up. We are both always open to work on character development IC whenever you need.



BORDER ALLOWANCES - We really encourage threads/skill grinding, and we also understand that there are times you would like to write with a character that does not live in the Armada. Because of this, for all of our litters we have permitted our pups to thread outside pack lands under the assumption that they are supervised. This could be supervision from one of the many Fatalis family companions, or PPing that mom or dad agreed to come along and stay in the background (for something like The Battlefield.) Please do not abuse this privilege and make us regret it. It is not realistic to think that they could travel 5 territories away, nor that they could sneak out unnoticed by the many critters belonging to the Fatalis family who patrol. Try to be reasonable with it, Zee and Sirius will not hesitate to restrict the movements of a pup who is crossing Boreas a week after it's playable, but a trip to a neighbouring territory for a skill thread is acceptable. When in doubt, ask! You may power play that one of Zee or Sirius' companions are watching them in your thread, and assume that should anyone try to harm your pup that said companion would be calling for their parents without hesitation. The companions are as listed: Spotted bear, Vulture, and Snow Leopard via Sirius. Bush Viper, and Toucan Via Zee. Generally just assume that while they're pups there's something sentient stealthily babysitting, but don't feel like you need to let it ruin your threads.


SEXUAL ORIENTATION & INCEST - The orientation of your character does not matter ICly to Zee or Sirius or OOCly to RK or Sea, though a character willing to further the bloodline is a very slight bonus to the application. The Fatalis bloodline is still pretty new, and it's for this reason as well that we will be disallowing any and all incest plots in this litter. Sirius ICly is incredibly against incest of any kind. ICly and OOCly we'd like the Fatalis line to grow, and preferably not into a wreath! I (RK) personally like to read and enjoy the threads of all my puppies when I see them on the recent-threads board, but have suffered personal trauma that makes reading some certain very mature themed threads very difficult. While we cannot reclaim a pup for reasons outside activity (nor would I want to) I’d like to request that players stray away from topics including underage (below 2 years old) sex and rape with these kids, for my sanity. There is as well an IC component to this, as Zee, Sirius, and by extension most of the Armada would absolutely be dragged into retaliation in these sorts of plots.


NAMING - OOCly we do not care what your name is... Zee on the other hand, does. Zeitgeist (Don't call her that) has made it very clear over the years how much she hates her name, and although we'd like you to have all the creativity in the world in your decision please try to avoid the complex / hard to pronounce ones for her sake. (It doesn't need to be Tom, but Glanticablrator is probably going to be a pain in the ass for me to ICly have Zee suggest and if she allowed Sirius to name them they'd all be Zee one, Zee two, and Zee three) (Alternatively, if you did want Sirius to name them, these names would be accepted… I kid! I kid! Don’t kill me Koala. No Zee one and Zee twos please).
