⧏Welcoming⧐

 You ran through the forest blindly, howls echoing behind you. You glanced back with your (Eye Color) optics, straining to see the streaks of colors that blended into the shadows. A wolf muzzle popped out right behind your tail, almost catching the fluffy end. You released a yelp, trying to urge your muscles to carry you faster. Soon, you tripped over a root from a tree. Some of the wolves ran right past you, then circled back, their tongues lolling inside their mouths. Some of the dogs began to pad up, their audits tipped forward. A feline padded over, towering over most of the wolves. His muscles bunched and relaxed all over his body. Soon, his whole body lost tension as he sat down to clean the streaks of mud off his pelt. You guessed he might have fallen.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">Why were they acting as if this were all normal? Do they chase animals through the forest like this, tormenting them, every day?

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">"You may have Questions," a voice boomed, silencing the animals in the rough, ragid circle formed around you.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">"But, instead of asking what those Questions are, I'd like to ask you why your on our Territory."

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">A Doberman Pincher casually strided over, his head slightly tilted.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">You began to stammer, "B-but I di- what?"

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">You looked around in confusion. You'd come here for most of your life and hadn't been caught before. What's different now?

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">"Creatures of the Shadows have always lived here, your not amongst the group of Canis, Felis, nor Panthera that are lying in wait in the Shadows. So you must not be one of us," he murmured, casting a look at the African Serval.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">"We all banded together, for survival, many moons ago. Recently, we've been attacked by many rogue predators. They want the territory to themselves, so now we've claimed it recently. Since most of us are Nocternal we patrol at night, which is why your caught in this mess now." He looked at the starry sky and turned his head back to you.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">"You have three options, you can run in hopes of us not catching you and ripping out that tiny windpipe concealed inside your flesh and bone, you can die right here-" the feline gave a pause and his tone grew solemn, "or, perhaps, join our ranks."

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">You didn't hesitate, fear driving you to answer, "Join! I'll join!"

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">The African Serval dipped his head, "Welcome, young one, to the Shadows."

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">The Doberman Pincher let his tongue loll out for a moment then quickly gathered himself.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">"Back to camp, before they wonder what's happened," he growled, rising to his paws and leading the ranks towards the southern end of the forest.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">The African Serval nudged you, smiling, and you thought you'd enjoy being in here, despite how dark it may seem.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">The Creatures of the Shadows are only Surviving Animals.

<p style="text-align:center;"><span class="" style="background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,White), color-stop(100%,White)); background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, black 0%,#870f00 100%); -webkit-background-clip: text; -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;font-family:newtimesroman;font-size:65pt;font-weight:normal;line-height:40px;">Conduct

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">I. Drama

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">Please, I shouldnt have to explain this one. We don't need Unnecessary drama which means, no walking into camp with Blood on you just because you wanna seem cool. Don't fight a Fake Animal or fake anything, we only allow that during plots so please don't start senseless things, doesn't matter if you were 'bored' thats not an excuse.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">II. Double Grouping

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">Like any other group, Creatures of the Shadows does not allow you to be in another group it doesn't matter what kind of Oc you'd use in the other group, If you double group often we might not be the group for you. (This only applies if this is a real Group, but this is a Side-Group)

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">III. Powerplaying

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">I understand some people aren't as advanced as others but powerplaying is not an option you must roleplay reasonably, we dont need a person ignoring an attack during a spar or during a fight, it's unfair, and please be semi-realistic.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">IV. Ocs

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">Creatures of the Shadows allows 3 Ocs, but if you are already currently an Alpha, Sovereign, Admiral, Ranger, Mercenary, or Shaman/Shaman Novice then you are not allowed to become that rank again with a different Oc.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">V. Disrespect

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">Do not disrespect each other, I could care less for the reason, this is a MAJOR rule if it's broken serious punishments will be immediently handed out to both parties.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">VI. Obey The Alpha

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">The Alpha is the Leader, who has been placed there by Blood or by Challenge. But to become an Alpha means also going through a Mental Test as well as a Strength Test, so this means their usually wise. If you disagree with their decree, then you can challenge the Alpha or Submit to his/her authority. Obey the Alpha.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">VII. Partners/Mates

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">You are only allowed to have Two Ocs with Partners, but make sure you keep track of your Main and Secondary characters who have Partners. if you get another Partner with your Third Oc, then a major punishment will be cast. We don't prefer to have you cheating, you should be fine with only Two and glad we even permit Two instead of One.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">VIII. Departure

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">When you leave you are only allowed to come back two times, we are not a hotel, we are not a group that you can come to when ever you wish to. We don't welcome Group-Jumpers, which are people who jump from group to group. If you leave the first time for Activity or for another reasonable reason then you aren't a Group-Jumper. To be honest, to us, Group-Jumpers can also come by when someone wants to be in one group but their friend tells them to come join theirs and they leave before even joining any Roleplays. We prefer it if you don't come in and never attend a Roleplay.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">IX. Oc Names

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">We allow Appropriate Names. Your allowed to have only one Word, a prefix & suffix, or a Tribe Styled Name. If you do have a Tribe Styled Name, we'd prefer if you attached a Nickname so we won't have to spell out an entire name. Since we're a group of Several Species, it'd be rude to only use one type of name form.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">X. Attire

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">Follow the Dress Code please, we don't want you being all purple and saying you're a realistic feline. We don't really have an actual Dress Code set up on our page or any of them, but I bet most of you that have Roleplayed before know how you basically dress in a roleplay. Like Spikes, Elf Armor, Elf Tail, Elf Bracelets, Leaf Bands, Worns, Pirate Swords, etc.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">XI. Combat

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">When you've taken place in an actual fight against a roleplay and if you end, please accept it, Don't complain about it either, what's done is done. If the person powerplayed then alright, but if you just make up that they did just to save yourself, please don't.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">XII. Territory

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">Please only go on our Server and Aldan (Not during Clan time for Aldan) Don't wonder onto another groups territory just because, and please don't prevork fights with other groups either. If you do so a Punishment will be handed out or even Exile.

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">XII. Goofing Off

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">When more than 3 Members are on (or 3 members) it's classified as Roleplay time and we expect you to roleplay as well, now if everyone is goofing off and not roleplaying then it's acceptable, but if a few or all wish to roleplay seriously we expect you to roleplay as well. The Alpha or Sovereign isn't on, you are still able to Roleplay so please don't use it as an excuse or feel uncomfortable about it, but when the Alpha or Sovereign is on, it's automatically roleplay time.

<p style="text-align:center;"><span class="" style="background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,White), color-stop(100%,White)); background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, black 0%,#870f00 100%); -webkit-background-clip: text; -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;font-family:newtimesroman;font-size:65pt;font-weight:normal;line-height:40px;">⧏Penalties⧐

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">(The Punishments are Assigned by the Admiral & Mercenaries, then approved by Alpha)

<p style="text-align:center;"> <font size="6.5pt">The Sovereign is allowed to object punishments if they are too cruel or too gentle.
