Laws of Pern

These are the laws that all Pernese must follow during their stay at TalonRidge.

Rule #1 ~ Follow all of Zetapets' rules. This includes no swearing, spamming, excessive romance, advertizing other sites, etc. If you need to refresh your memory of the Zetapets rules, here they are. Remember, your actions can get our whole club in trouble.

Rule #2 ~ Respect all members OOC (out of character). IC (in character) fights may occur, but please, don't make these happen too often. There are children of young ages roaming the site so keep the blood and gore to a minimum.

Rule #3 ~ No swearing. Besides, Pernese people don't even know Earthen cuss words. Using Pernese oaths is fine. Some of the more popular curses are "Shards!" and "By the Egg!"

Rule #4 ~ Romance. Now, this may pose a problem. In order to get dragonriders we need clutches and in order to get clutches we need mating flights. Now, since Zetapets does not allow romance I will be very strick about the subject. The furthest romance can go is hugging, holding hands, and maybe a quick kiss. Nothing more. Period. For mating flights, they will still happen but when they end, nothing more. Just *fade to black*. If anyone, anyone at all, roleplays the aftermath of a flight I will ban you from the club. No exceptions. Again, this site has young children roaming around and I do not want them stumbling across something dirty.

Rule #5 ~ Character names. Character or pet names may not end in -th or -sk. The only names that may end in -th are Dragons and the only names that may end in -sk are Whers. Also, do not name your characters after any of Ann McCaffrey's characters or make your characters have any relations to them (ex: M'ka is the son of Jaxom). Be creative, it makes the roleplay more enjoyable. When a male Impresses a dragon he must shorten his name. Changing Gary to G'ary isn't acceptable. At least one letter of the name must be removed in order to count as shortening. All dragon names must end in -th. All Wher names must end in -sk.

Rule #6 ~ Try and stay active. If you know you are going to be gone for a long period of time please tell me through Zmail. If you are inactive for about a month I will conside you dead and will put your characters up for adoption. If no one adopts your characters they will become NPCs. NPCs can be roleplayed and killed at will by anyone, anytime. If you do return and want your characters back on three conditions: 1) if whomever has adopted them is willing to give them back to you, 2) if they are an NPC, or 3) if they have not yet been killed or are not taking part in a major plot.

Rule #7 ~ I am only accepting four HADs (hear all dragons), two males and two females. You may only own one HAD. HADs are hard to roleplay. You must ask permission before creating a HAD character.

Rule #8 ~ If you are leaving the Club, do not be ashamed to tell us. It would be nice if you would let us know before hand so we can decide what to do with your characters.

Rule #9 ~ No Godmoding, powerplaying, etc. Your character is not invincible and you cannot take control of anyone elses characters without their permission. If you do give someone permission to roleplay your character(s) please Zmail me to tell me first. The person who owns the characters should be the one to tell me.

Rule #10 ~ Whomever controls the mother of the clutch/litter decides who Impresses what and the names of the dragon/pet. Unless they want me to or unless they specifically say "name your pet yourself." Please confirm your clutch/litter size and colors with me over Zmail. Ask for rare dragons or new mutations

Rule #11 ~ You may only have four characters so please take time when creating them. If you want a new character but you already have four characters you can kill off one of your old characters to make room.

Rule #12 ~ Character appearance. All characters must be human. No strange eye, hair, or skin colors. No wings, tails, or other extra apendages either. Later on I might allow people to have weird things going on but not now. Sorry all.

Rule #13 ~ Starting with a DragonRider. This is called Transfering and the Rider is called a Transfer Rider. Your dragon must be one of the colors listed on our Colors page. If you want to start with pets you must ask. Our creatures are listed here.

Rule #14 ~ If you have a plot idea, new creature idea, new color idea, or anything else just ask me through Zmail. I am accepting any plots, big or small.
