[Forest Hearted ||An ARPG || Founders open!]

Welcome to Forest Hearted, a warriors based ARPG. You can adopt cats and build your clans, or choose another path which your group will go down!

Clans, tribes, and other groups all used to walk the same paths as you do now. They would make alliances with one another, or fight with their neighboring groups. One thing is common among all, however- They fought to survive and thrive. Something happened to the lands to make them empty and barren of the previous residents... Many moons later, cats are now coming back to reclaim the forests that were once the places their ancestors called home. Will you join them in the fight to survive?


NEWS:
-1/23/20: The thread is still getting set up... Please be patient! A discord is set up and is ready to be used as soon as marking begins
-1/24/20: Artist search is open!

-There is currently a limit of ONE group/clan per person. You may have NPC clans, but please note they may not be used for leveling
-When you claim a founder, you have 1 month to make your thread before they are readopted out. Talk to me if this may be a potential problem
-Please be patient when claiming a founder. Artists have lives too!
-If you're banned from Forest Hearted, you can keep your cats, but you will be unable to participate in Forest Hearted or any events (They will be marked as deceased)
-A competition is to be judged in a timely manner. If it has been over a month, please tell me or one of the mods
-You get one free founder, and you cannot claim another after you have gotten one.
-NPCs can be used, but not as the primary subject for leveling/challenges/etc.
-If you take the ref of a cat to a site such as Toyhouse, please credit the original designer.
-If you run out of space, you must level up ASAP!
-If you wish to kill off a cat, post to the archives so I can mark them as deceased
-If doing art for a prompt, please put effort into it and make it recognizable

Please read founder guidelines regarding what is and isn't allowed to be requested

Staff rules:

(Will add more here?)

Artist rules:
-Mutations/major line edits/disabilities (missing limbs/blindness/etc.) should be saved for milestones
-Cat designs will mostly be realistic. You may use unusual white markings as long as they look natural and are not based on something such as vitiligo, albinism or the topaz mutation
-Eye colors can be very flexible as well as long as they are semi-realistic (So no pink, but dark blue that looks closer to dark violet is ok, aqua eyes, etc.)
-Artists should take payment for customs (not including paypal), but should take breedings for free
-Please be active to the best of your ability
-Artists can open customs for 5 slots twice a month for whatever currency (besides money of course)
-Please finish customs ASAP before opening any others
-Try to judge prompts asap (let me know if you can't judge within the month).
-Whenever you make a cat, just put a basic description where you can!

(Will add as I see fit)

Getting started:
So you've decided to join! There's a few things to know about claiming a founder first:
RULES FOR FOUNDERS:
-You may only claim ONE free founder. You will not be allowed another if it is readopted due to not meeting the one month requirement, or for any reason in which it is no longer in your possession
-You may not request specific breeds, mutations, disabilities, or major lineart changes (missing limbs, vitiligo, items, major scars)
-THIS INCLUDES GENETICALLY MALE TORTOISESHELLS OR CALICOS!
-You may, however, request a small lineart modification (such as tufted ears or a small overbite for example), and small scars. You must choose the modification carefully- you may only get one (Unless you get the proper item for another one), and it cannot be changed later.
-Designs must be mostly realistic! look up photos of cats if you must, but pelts will not have stars and hearts or bright neon green fur!
-Eyes should be somewhat-realistic (Aqua colored eyes and Dark blue/borderline indigo eyes would be ok, but bright pink would not be ok)
-White markings should at least look natural though does not have to be completely realistic, and should not imitate mutations (such as vitiligo or the topaz mutation)

Please wait until founders are open!

Use this forum to claim a founder:
Code: Select all
I would like to claim a founder!
Username:
Cat's gender:
Appearance:
Anything else?:


Levels and leveling up:
levels will be created and posted in the upcoming days as the archive is created.

To level, the prompt requirements must be met. NPCs, Deceased, and other players' cats may be used (with permission), but your own living cats must be the focus. After you have completed the given tasks, be sure to post to the archive! c:

You won't have to wait to start leveling up more, but if the response doesn't fit the prompt somehow, or meet a requirement, I'll message you and let you know.

There will be no set limit or requirements for high ranks.
Writing, if not explicitly stated, must be 100+ words, and drawings must be at minimum flat colored drawings with a background
You will earn 5 points every time you level, and up to 10 depending on time and effort

QUESTS LIST:
Quests are prompts that you can pick and choose to use when you are leveling up, or just to develop your clan further for points to put towards rewards. Be sure to read up on whether you can choose quests for your level!

please note that if you are using a quest to level up, you will not receive the points for them. You may only earn points from here if you use these prompts outside of levels. You also may not use a prompt from here twice in a row for leveling (So if you use a quest for level 3, you must use a different one for level 4 but you may use it for level 6 and so on)

All quests must be at least 200+ words and/or a flat color with a background. Please show effort!

Completing quests outside of leveling will grant you 5 points minimum and can get up to 10 depending on time and effort

-Write or draw about a patrol
-Write about an encounter with a loner. What happened after?
-Describe a clan tradition
-Write about your group's code
-Write a brief history about your clan (You can stack on paragraphs and therefore points!)
-Write about the relationship between one of your cats and either another user's cat or another one of your own
-Write about or draw about one of your cats exploring the territory for the first time
-Write about or draw a conflict your group or one of your cats encounter
-Draw two pieces of gift art for other users
