Birthing, Breeding and Kit Rules

How does breeding happen? Well, when a tom loves a ladyfriend, or...not. Really, honestly - the first thing you need to know is that breeding will NOT be described on this site. We have young'uns on here. Before things get explicit, please fade to black.

Breeding requires having a non neutered/spayed male and female character. When the female becomes pregnant, she will make a mark of what exact calendar date she became pregnant on her character profile. Down to the Hour.

Example: Mistwind became pregnant on 01/01/01!



Gestation lasts seven in-game hours (1 week), but can take up to 8 hours if desired. When you give birth, do not be ill, hungry or exhausted or else you may have complications and your kits WILL suffer for it!

Upon giving birth, or becoming pregnant if you wish, you will roll a die with the amount of sides your fertility is. Minimum fertility is 2, so in that scenario you would click the DICE button (next to the SHH and </> button above) and type: 1d2. Change the 2 to whatever your fertility equals if it is more than 2. This decides your litter size. If you are an apprentice, please divide the total by 50%. Even apprentice litters, however, cannot be less than 1.

To determine gender, you roll a two-sided die for each kit. 1= male kit and 2=female kit. So if you litter size is 4 total, then you would be putting the number is 4d2. If at risk for having stillborns, then roll a 3-sided die (ex. 4d3). If 3, the kit is born dead.

What the kits look like is decided by the mother. She can choose to decided with the father or leave everything up to the adopters of her kits. The only restriction is, thye should genetically take after parents (or grandparents).

Kits will inherit stats of their parents - the only sure thing is that fertility will reflect their father's. HP is decided by the mother's choice in kit weight, but if she only gives a general description of weight, then staff will take over. Stat inheritance is always picked by the staff.

You can have more than one sire per litter, but only if the queen mates with two or more toms within a 3 in-roleplay hour period (3 days). Pregnancy begins, in this case, at the final mating's time, not the first.

Do I Have to Have My Full Litter?

As we are starting fresh, you might have characters roll for a big litter, but have noone to play them. In this case, if you wish to give up some of your kits for the sake of increasing you're clan's size, this is perfectly alright. We only want there to be as many characters as can be roleplayed on site, after all. In this case, it will simply seem that, while you might have rolled a high number, that only the kits whom you have roleplayers for will have been born.
