the ROLEPLAY guide @ 'SOULS

Appearance

Wolves and other canines' coats can have a wide variety of colors. There aren't just black, white, and grey wolves. While those colors obviously exist, there are also golden wolves, red wolves, patchwork wolves, and so on. Any number of coat colors and combinations can be made, as long as they are natural-colored. 'Souls is fairly lenient when it comes to colors, but completely unrealistic colors are not allowed. For example, a dark red or rust-colored wolf would be okay, but a stop sign red wolf would not be allowed. Keep in mind though that the rule only applies for a wolf's natural color. Your character is free to dye his or her coat whatever crazy color you want, so as long as they aren't naturally that color.

In the wild, wolves' eyes are usually yellow, though blue and brown eyed wolves can also be found. At 'Souls though, we let you go all out and just about anything goes -- chartreuse, ice blue, green, orange. Whatever floats your boat! Bi-colored eyes are acceptable, as are multi-colored eyes.

Some wolves choose to have piercings, tattoos, and other body modifications. Some also choose to wear jewelry or other accessories. These are all perfectly fine, but keep in mind that piercing and tattooing are skills that must be learned and usually must be performed by someone else. Also, wearables such as dangly earrings and bracelets may clink and make noise, which is the last thing a hunting wolf wants. You're pretty much free to do whatever you want, but try to keep realism in mind!

Although 'Souls is generally pretty lenient when it comes to most character modifactions, there are certain things we absolutely do not allow. We do not allow winged wolves at 'Souls, nor do we allow extra limbs. Puppies with extra legs or tails would likely be killed at birth. (Please note that polydactyl animals, animals with six or more toes, are allowed, as well as other minor genetic mutations). Inter-species hybrids involving non-canine species are not allowed. Were-cats, were-ferrets, and were-anything-that-isn't-a-canine are also not allowed.
