Important News
Some changes have been made so if you are a returning member please make sure you have read up on everything, specifically the rules. If your characters have ended up in the 'Inactive' forum then just let an admin know and they will be moved back to the proper place.

Gold Zsalysk was caught by Wild Bronze Thunder. We're expecting eggs soon so keep an eye on the sands.

Benden has been entirely too quiet lately. What could they be up too?

Upon Joining

1) Please brush up on the rules and history BEFORE starting a character.
2) If you have questions please ask! Our admins and mods are always willing to lend a hand.
3) Take a look at the candidate rules [listed below] and get started on your first character. Or if you'd rather make a rider or handler. Following the guidelines will help quicken the process of getting your characters accepted.
4) Please wait until your character is accepted before roleplaying as this is a big no-no.
5) Also please check that the rank you want is available for dragon riders and wher handlers.

Game Rules
Out Of Character


1) Be respectful
2) ANY disrespect toward any admin will not be tolerated. We are a fairly lenient bunch and if you make your case we will listen but otherwise we will not be swayed. Blatant insubordination or disrespect will be dealt with severely. This is your only warning.
3) Please keep the cbox mostly clean. Excessive cussing will not be tolerated nor will pornography.
4)Flaming, threatening, or begging any member is prohibited and will not be tolerated.
5) Heartland is a literate third person roleplay but we do not require 1000 word posts unless you feel like it. One liners are prohibited and we do ask you try to make your posts at least two paragraphs but we are pretty lenient on this.
6) A list or links to your characters must be kept in your signature and it must be kept up to date. The admins will not do this for you but you are more than welcome to ask for help with designs or such.
7) God-moding is expressly forbidden on Heartland.

Game Rules
In Character


1) Stick to correct terminology for Pern. Year=turn, week=sevenday
2) No chatspeak and improper grammar is frowned upon.
3) No randomly killing off characters without warning. Its generally frowned upon in polite society.

Character Rules
Overall


1) Please make sure that your characters are in fact human. No halflings, elves or purple people.
2) There is no character limit but we do ask that you don't make so many you can't keep them all active.
3) Try to stick to what is canon to Pern. Body art and modification [piercings] are still frowned upon and not common. Mary and Gary-sues will be tossed out to the whers.
4) Any character deemed inactive will be moved to the inactive forum for one month then moved to the land of the dead. If the player wishes to reclaim the character they may do so as long as the character hasn't been adopted.

Candidates

1) You are allowed up to three candidates at any one time for any hatching whether its for a dragon or wher.
2) Dragon candidates are between 12 and 22 for non-queen candidates and male candidates, and 18-22 for queen only candidates. Wher candidates have to be at least 12 though there is no age cap within reason.
3) Candidates must be active. While lessons and chores are not mandatory Touchings ARE. Basically the more active a candidate is the better a chance they have of impressing. Plots are also required if they pertain to candidates.
4) Deformed candidates [either physically and/or mentally] are not allowed to stand for dragon clutches though there is some leeway for wher candidates.

Weyr- and Wherlings

1) Weyrling and Wherlings both are primarily gained through hatchings though with adoptables and timeskips there may be exceptions.
2) Attendance is mandatory for weyrlings/wherlings in lessons. Those with a LOA will be able to make up missed lessons.
3) They must remain active outside of lessons as well.

Riders and dragons, handlers and whers

1) Only dragonrider/wherhandler pairs whose rank is available are allowed to be created.
2) Creating your own rank/color is prohibited. Dragons/whers also need to stay within their rank's shade/size
3) Dual handlers are still fairly uncommon and frowned upon. They are not available to be premade however if you have a handler they may stand at a hatching to see if they will be granted another egg but it isn't guaranteed that they will get another one. Queens RARELY allow double bonds as adults and will never allow them as hatchlings. Remember queens are possessive little witches.

Pets

1) The pets available to be created are: Firelizards, runners, birds [must have admin permission], canines, and felines.
2) It will be rare for a weyrling/wherling to gain a pet until their dragons/whers are older as they will not have the time.
3) Characters will be limited as to the number of firelizards they can have. They are only allowed 4 at one time. This is also to keep numbers under control.

Flights and Runs

1) Flights/Runs must be run by an admin before they can start. Simply let an admin know the date you wish your female to Rise and it will be added to the list.
2) No God-moding during Flights/Runs. Injury can be inflicted with permission only.
3) Clutchers will Rise when the admins say so. No exceptions.
4) Females will have a say in what male she deems right for her. If you are stuck for a winner use an online randomizer.
5) Females rising together will be VERY rare. Clutchers will almost never rise in the same IC period.

Hatching, and Impression
1) Hatchings are mandatory for candidates on Heartland to impress
2) Hinting or begging for a specific color or all out stating you want one is highly frowned upon. You will get a warning the first time. Do it more than once and we may very well impress your character to an NPC [non-playable character]
3) We at Heartland take time to make each hatchling to fit a specific candidate from their appearance to their personality. If you simply cannot stand your dragonet than please discuss it with an admin. We don't want you to have a dragon you'll hate.
4) Don't not bug or pester the admins about what time your dragon will hatch or if your character will even impress at all. This is highly frowned upon. The length of our hatchings depend upon the size of the clutch. Larger ones may take up to a week or two smaller ones may take a few days or a week. Be patient and all will be revealed. Several admins will be working on posting to speed up the process.
5) In large clutches we may not impress all of the dragonets to in-play characters. Some will go to NPC's usually to fill out numbers or for Plot positions that need filling.
6)Angelic_Flair also reserves the right to put dragons earned ICly up for adoption if you should leave the site permanently. She will not put human characters up for adoption though unless the roleplayer says she can.

Activity Rules

1) Regular activity checks will occur [usually every couple of months or so]. Posting in these checks are mandatory.
2) Players with ranking characters MUST stay active. That means active posts with those characters.
3) Players are put on suspension after three weeks of inactivity unless they post an absence or LOA.
