Britorias Pup Adopts
Artorias and Briar are continuing to grow their family with their second litter! These pups will be joining the prestigious family of the Hallows and already have a lot of siblings and extended family eager to meet them. Our intention is to have this be a fun, engaging, and exciting opportunity for anyone to join the Carpathius family. This means an extraordinary amount to both Shelby and I, as we are both working hard to make this bloodline a prominent and permanent one in Ardent history. Now you can also join in on the legacy!
ACTIVITY - As these pups will be a part of a large and highly active family, we ask that players be as equally enthusiastic about playing them as we are to play with them. Shelby and I would like to avoid reclaiming pups as much as we can. We very much want these pups to feel like they're your characters and belong to you, and we hope that you feel as invested in their character growth as we are in them. Ultimately, these pups are very important to us, and we want to set some clear guidelines for what we would like to see in terms of minimum activity for them. PERSONALITY/ALIGNMENT - We encourage players to create exciting, unique, and colorful personalities for their pups! Artorias and Briar are going to be very nurturing and loving parents, encouraging their children to pursue their passions, so any combination of skills, interests, hobbies, etc. is allowed. As these pups will be raised in the benevolent Hallows by Good aligned parents, character alignment can range anywhere in the Good and Neutral categories. Neutral and Chaotic Evil characters will not be accepted. Artorias and Briar would not tolerate this type of behavior and would simply send the child off for rehabilitation or put the pup down if they were a danger, and that doesn't make for good RP. I will, however, consider a Lawful Evil alignment if you can clearly, effectively, and convincingly tell me in your application how the pup would come to have this alignment given their upbringing. INHERITED TRAITS - Artorias' father remains unknown, and his mother Tamsyn consists of simple blacks and whites. Artorias has a black, gray, and dark blue coat. Briar, being a Fatalis, comes from a line of browns, blues, blacks, and silvers. Artorias' eyes are amber orange with gold flecks and Briar's are turquoise. Artorias is a full dire at 45" and Briar is large at 38". We encourage designs to call back to these heritages as much as possible, but we encourage everyone to be creative with what you create! We will be offering some premade designs to pick from, but you are also welcome to create your own! MUTATIONS - These pups are going to be spoiled for choice when it comes to genetic gifts! Inheritance mutations include stronger jaws and teeth, denser fur, enhanced eyesight, small antlers, cat claws, and longer tail fur. Other mutations found in their bloodlines include an assortment of horns, bear paws, saber fangs, longer fur, and bone spurs. Outside of the family, there are dozens of mutations you could pick from! While mutations are a benefit to the characters, not having any mutations will not hurt your chances for approval! FAMILY AND PACK The Carpathians are a highly family-oriented and affectionate family, and they will definitely be doted on by their largely present family. Artorias and Briar are going to be very hands-on parents, wanting to be involved in every aspect of their children's lives. Although they are not brand new parents this time around, expect them to still be highly vigilant and present with their precious little loaves. They will be surrounded by their siblings, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. The Fatalises, while living far away, will also want to be highly involved in their lives. In short, these kids are gonna have a LOT of characters wanting to be in their lives! Expect many family threads! The pups will be growing up in the Hallows and will be required to remain in the pack until they turn two years old. Once they turn two, while Artorias and Briar would love for their children to stay and help strengthen the pack, they will be free to leave and seek their own paths if they choose. While in the pack, they will be free to choose what paths they wish to take, whether they want to be warriors like their father, diplomats like their mother, or something else entirely! Ambition is highly encouraged by Artorias and Briar who want nothing but the best for their little loves.
TERRITORY PERMISSIONS - Shelby and I understand that the core of RPing is interacting with other players. Since we know you'll want to play with other characters outside of the Hallows or go to other lands for skill threads, we are allowing some liberties to the pups to roam with a few caveats. The pups are required to stay within Hallows lands until they are 2 seasons old unless accompanied by Artorias or Briar or one of their family members within that thread. After that, the pups will be permitted to roam to and thread in any neighboring territories so long as it is assumed that they are being supervised either by their parents, an extended family member, or one of their parents' companions. Artorias and Briar must be permitted to enter the pups’ threads at any point while they are under 1 year old. Artorias has two ravens and a silver cross fox and Briar has a gold cross fox and a prairie falcon that can accompany the pups on adventures. If you have any doubts or questions, please don't hesitate to hit us up and ask us for anything! CARPATHIUS LORE - Just like their elder siblings, the pups will all be expected to learn about their heritage and adopt the Carpathian family culture/customs. This includes being able to speak and understand Carpathian (Romanian). You are free to use Romanian inspiration in their backgrounds and interests, as well as use Romanian names for them if you're so inclined. They are also welcome to learn and adopt Fatalis family culture and traditions as taught by Briar. PLOTS - I strongly believe in unrestricted creative writing and freedom in character development. Therefore we will not be imposing restrictions on your characters for anything you would like to plot so long as it makes sense IC. The only hard restrictions we'll be placing is a bar on any sexual threads or plots until these characters turn a year and half old. This is for the pups' and players' benefits from lessons we've both learned. As the pups' father, I would prefer if they didn't get involved in a bunch of maims, but I'm not going to penalize anyone for what they want to plot. Have fun with your babies! SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND REPRODUCTION - Artorias and Briar will love their children and support them, no matter who they love. Attempts for incestuous breeding or reckless breeding with strangers will be severely frowned upon. Artorias will not tolerate reproducing with impunity and will punish his own children according to Hallows law if they break these tenets. INHERITANCE BENEFITS - As the children of Artorias and Briar, the pups are entitled to: DEADLINE - The important part. The pups are due June 8th and playable June 22nd. Applications for pups will be closed on June 3rd.We already have three adoptions handled privately, so we may or may not take any additional applications depending on if any really strike us. We will be looking for AT MOST two applicants to play Artorias and Briar's newest children. All extra pup passes will be paid for by myself, so all you have to cover is what's required for the pups themselves. If there's any more pertinent information that needs to be added, I'll edit this post and notify all applicants! If you have any questions or if something is unclear, please don't hesitate to reach out to us on Discord, we'd be happy to give you some help! Thank you, and best of luck!
