Creating a character? Have you read the Site Rules? Well, you came to the right place! Start a new topic using the name of your character and fill out this form. Then, sit back and wait for a mod or Admin to either accept it, or tell you to make changes... If you need some ideas or help with writing an application, check here!

Species Allowed
Not sure what you want to play? Here's some quick information about the possible species here! When creating a character, please keep within reasonable range of the sizes listed for each species. A few larger than normal will be accepted now and then, but it will NOT be common. If you are asked to change your character's size because there are too many over-sized characters, please do so. No more over-sized characters will be accepted for a while.

NOTE: The "Length" stat on all species is measured from head to tail-tip for conformity. Outside sources may list lengths shorter than those shown here as generally the head/body length is displayed separate from the tail length whereas they are combined on this site. If you wish to elaborate into separate lengths for head/body and tail in your appy, it's your choice, but you must at least include the combined length if you choose to submit a length.

If none of those strike you, be sure to check out the Special Characters thread and the Adoptions Forum to see if there are other species up for adoption!

For characters starting under two years of age: Because under two years of age is below the youngest possible maturity for most of the animals here, you have the option of aging double-time (one year every six months) until your character reaches two years of age. Please inform us admin if you wish to age double-time so we can make note and track it! However, if your character is from a litter born on the site, then the whole litter must age either normal-time or double-time. If you can't decide it amongst yourselves, it will be double-time.
