rules

[attr="class","eleventh"]1. Do not harass or rush people to reply to your threads. Mentioning it once a week would be alright, but don't badger a member every day over the same thread. People have lives outside of the site, and constantly trying to get them to do your bidding is guaranteed to do the opposite and instead drive them away.

2. Liquid time is ALLOWED, as long as you can keep up with all the threads you have thrown at your character (:

3. THE ELEVENTH HOUR is an account per character site.

4. Please be kind, caring and accepting of everyone. We are an LBGT+ friendly space!

5. As per Proboards terms and conditions, we here at THE ELEVENTH HOUR are a PG-13 site. We will not allow any mature threads, even if they are tagged and closed to specific members to play out. This is because all members and guests have access to our role-play boards to view. Like-wise, we will allow some mild realistic injury/fighting description - however please remember there might be a younger audience with us.

Likewise, our discord is also for those age 13+, as per Discord terms and conditions. If you are under the age of 13, do not inform us, or we will sadly have to remove you from the discord and site. On our discord we allow swearing - to a minimum, as well as real life topics as long as they follow our community guidelines.

6. Do not POWERPLAY OR GODMOD. Your character can't read minds and know everyone's deepest secrets, nor can they win every fight. An apprentice is bound to lose a battle to a leader, and a kit probably won't be able to catch a mouse. (Not everyone is a Cloudtail). No one is perfect, and while we don't want your character to be evil, not everyone is a perfect mary-sue, flaws are a part of personality.

7. When creating a character, every NEW member has ONE free shop item to use! This is per your OOC account and not per character account <3 


[attr="class","eleventh"]1. Because of our site plot, we may have staff accounts that may or may not post in your thread and spice things up. This will be along the lines of events, predator appearances, a message from StarClan, and many more! A lot of these encounters will rely on dice roll mechanics to determine the fate of your character; it is for this reason that die rolls for general member threads/activities are not allowed at this stage.

Please note, this account WILL NOT kill off your character unless special permission has been obtained from you.

2. We do NOT have a limit on characters. Just please be sure that you can handle all of them! If we see that you aren't handling them well, we may politely ask you to cut back.

4. Please follow our biography template. It's simple and meant to allow your characters room to grow without the pesky restrictions that sometimes detailed personality sections can place. We've all had a character that turns out NOTHING like we wrote them out to be. Hopefully this can help with that.

5. All applications will be locked upon acceptance; however, we understand that characters have a tendency to grow and change throughout RP. 

6. Cats of all shapes and colors are allowed here AS LONG AS THEY ARE NATURAL. No purple kitties please.

7. Small disabilities are allowed. We don't want to take away from your character's originality. Please don't go overboard on this or we will be putting a restriction on!

8. You may only play TWO high ranks at a time, high ranks being Leader, Deputy, and Medicine Cat/Apprentice. You may not play a leader and a deputy, this is to avoid someone playing two leaders, and may not play your two high ranks in the same clan.

9. HIGH RANKING CHARACTER ACTIVITY! : If you play a high rank you must have ONE post with their account per week, as well as ONE post with another of your accounts during that same week. Aka, TWO posts per week. If you have trouble meeting this, please speak with staff.

10. All characters (regardless of age and status) will age 2 moons per real life month. Every month, the staff will post an "age up announcement" advising everyone that they need to increase their character age by 2 moons. The only exception to this is for character accounts less than a week old at the date of the age up announcement.

11. A queen is pregnant for 2 weeks after rolling for her litter.

12. You are not allowed to make relations to any lore characters without EXPLICIT staff permission and planning. This included siblings, mates, offspring, mentors, apprentices, close friends and the like. If you are uncertain if your plot is breaking this rule, please seek staff guidance BEFORE going ahead with it.


[attr="class","eleventh"]1. In order to play a kit, members must either adopt an available litter kit or request through STAFF to make an abandoned kit. We can't have little kits just running around with no moms.

2. If you would like you cat to have kits you must fill out the form in the kit board and post it in a new thread. Be sure to read the LITTER RULES and tag staff members because we DO roll litters here.

3. There are purchases and additions you may get for your litters if you would like them to have certain qualities/or avoid certain qualities. Please make sure you have these purchased BEFORE filling out your kit form unless they are POST-ROLL LITTER PURCHASES.

4. Your characters MUST have TWO threads together, proving they have some sort of relationship etc.

5. QUEENS MUST BE PREGNANT FOR TWO FULL WEEKS, unless you have talked to staff about this.

6. A queen MUST wait for her previous kits to become APPRENTICE AGE (6 moons) in order to have a new litter. On the chance that the litter is STILLBORN, a queen need only wait until the NEXT AGE UP.


[attr="class","eleventh"]1. Things around here are different. Every cat has a 'Spark' or a small orb of light said to be an ancestor from Starclan coming to guide them.  From the time a Queen knows of her pregnancy, small little orbs of light will join alongside her. These are the 'Sparks' of her kits. Once the kit is born, the spark joins the kit and takes on a specific color. This orb is said to be a cat of old, reincarnated in the form of a guide. The cats call these "Sparks".



2. Sparks are said to speak very rarely as it takes too much energy to do so. However, they can very easily change shape into animals, shapes, etc. They use this as a form of communication, though they do prefer their orb shape when possible. They don't always stay in direct view and can disappear on a whim, only to reappear moments later. Sparks show in a variety of colors except white, and stay with a cat until they pass. After a cat passes, it's brilliant turns a bright white and joins the stars above once more, completing the cats journey to Starclan. 


3. Our cats here are also different, they are granted elemental powers at birth. These are RANDOMIZED when your cat is created and you will be allowed to choose between the THREE that have been picked via randomizer.



4. The current Elemental mutations are Plant, Psychic, Fire, Water, Shadow, Light, Earth, Electricity, Air, and Healing. These abilities are not learned immediately upon birth but rather they ramp up as learned. A more comprehensive guide can be found HERE.
