Guide to Mates & Pups

Mates and pups are an important factor of a pack. Characters "fall in love" and have a litter of pups. This usually only happens with the dominant pair in the pack, but this is not the case in Alpine Spirits Pack.

There are quite a few rules to having mates/pups, so please do follow them.

Mates
➊ The most important rule is to notify the leaders (or founders) of the pack that you and your mate have decided to become mates. Without notifying a leader could get you in serious trouble.
➋ Absolutely no inappropriate roleplaying of mating.
➌ To "divorce", you and your mate need to contact me (both of you need to PM me) saying that you and your mate want to break up. Give me 4 reasons why, and I'll think about it.
➍ If you have pups and want to divorce, it will be a lot harder to convince me.
➎ Don't be dramatic about mate problems.
➏ Have fun! Having a mate is a privilege.

Pups

➊ You must PM me that you and your mate have decided to have pups. (I will post a topic about mates deciding to have pups and people can sign up to be your pup.)
➋ RPing the birthing (too realistically) may get you warned. This is a "kid friendly" website. It's for everyone, not just older users. If you've got a problem with that, feel free to contact me.
➌ You and your mate must be together for at least three weeks before having pups.
➍ Regular user mates may only have a limit of five pups.
➎ Be a little bit realistic about time - pups aren't going to be born the day after the mother is pregnant.
➏ Having pups is a big responsibility and it takes a bit of work. I'll help you with making the den, getting pups for you, etc. but you have to handle things mostly on your own.
➐ Pups will be born inside of the female's (personal) den.

If you have any questions or concerns, I encourage you to contact me. Hope this helped!
