General:
- If you have a question, please ask it in the appropriate place. Sending the head admin a PM is the quickest and best way to ask about something! Spamming won't get your question answered any quicker.
-Please, have one OOC account and the rest of the accounts are your IC accounts for each of your characters.
- Drama: don't start it! Keep RP (aka in character) related drama where it should be and non-EBC related drama out of the group.
- Members that advertise on any role playing threads or by PMs will receive a warning.
- Members will receive a warning for breaking rules. Multiple warnings will result in a ban.

- Be kind to your fellow Empire mates!
- Like all roleplay related sites, NO god-modding! God-modding is giving your character traits or abilities that are unnatural and often make them invincible or much stronger than other characters. They make roleplays unfair and no fun for everyone else. :C Please keep your character's realistic and only give them abilities that are within their bounds! You can always message the admins to look over your character if you are unsure!
- God-modding can also mean you are trying to take control of another person's character and force them (whether intentional or not) to react like you would want them to. Remember, you are only allow to control characters you own and no one else's!
- Roleplays here are played by an action / reaction method, meaning you must give the other person time to post a reaction before you may act again.
Example:
Player 1: Talon quickly darted across the field and pounced at Marcellus, claws extended for a vicious blow.
Player 2: Marcellus dropped to the ground, desperately trying to dodge Talon's strike!
Player 1: Talon's claws met nothing but empty air and the tiger leaped gracefully over the young cub. Not wasting a moment, Talon quickly spun around and swung a paw aimed for his opponent's head.
Player 2: Marcellus shut his eyes tightly and hugged the ground as he heard Talon jump over him. The caracal quickly tried to locate his attacker after successfully dodging his first attack, but he was met with a pawful of claws before he could react, sending the young cub tumbling across the clearing!
In battles, for every two attacks that miss, one attack MUST hit! Roleplay fights are no fun when your character can't be hit. Remember, keep things realistic! No character can evade every attack ever thrown at him/her, not even leaders!
- Please keep foul language to a minimum! It's okay to have your character say a few select words every now and again, but if it's every other post, then it can get a bit annoying to some people. Be courteous!
- Enemies other than Empire Cats or Bounty Hunters (such as eagles, foxes, or other predators) can only be roleplayed by admins! They cost some EP(Empire Points) to be able to have one.
- Keep roleplay IN CHARACTER. If you must talk out of character, please be sure to mark your OOC with brackets to prevent confusion.
- If someone's character reacts to your character in a negative way, don't take it personal! The personal playing the character isn't attacking you and is simply staying in character.
Character Guidelines:
- No unnatural felines exists in the EBC world! This means characters such as neon colored tigers, winged lions, or horned leopards are not allowed. Hair tufts can be added to your characters, but please try to keep them toned down and somewhat realistic. Eye color is the only exception to this rule and can be unnaturally colored!
- Please keep characters somewhat realistic to their species! This kinda goes with the above mentioned rule. Markings should stay within norms found in a species.
- You may have one(1) character per empire! Any more than this and you may be stretching yourself too far. The exception to this rule is if you have cubs, but you may only roleplay ONE.
- Only leaders wear helmets! If your character is not an Empire leader, then please do NOT give them a helmet!
Here, a 'helmet' is defined as any object that covers the head, whether that be fully or partially; metal or some other material. To be safe, if your character isn't a Leader, don't give them anything that fits on their head!
- Keep armor designs simple!
- Characters may NOT have weapons! Primary weapons such as swords, knives, daggers, spears, etc are not allowed and make battles unfair. Secondary 'weapons', however, such as armor spikes and simple claw reinforcements are still allowed in certain cases as long as it doesn't give your cat an overwhelming advantage in battle. Remember, claws and teeth are a cat's natural 'weapons' and that's what they'll mostly use!
- Only wild species of felines are allowed in this group. Character species can include but aren't limited to: Lions, Tigers, Snow Leopards, Jaguars, Leopards, Bobcats/Lynx, Cheetahs, Servals, Caracals, Ocelots, Cougars, etc. NO domesticated breeds of felines are allowed! If your unsure about whether or not your character's species is allowed, ask an admin! We'll be glad to help!
- Characters can not have names similar to those found in Warriors! EBC names are normally one worded names with Roman/Greek decent. "Sparticus", "Benga", "Avita", "Cladius", and "Icarus" are all examples of good names. Object names like "Ash", "Sky", and "Feather" are okay names too.
- Please remember that age matters! If your character is a young character such as a cub, they shouldn't be gallivanting around with big suits of armor and such! Keep them realistically aged.
-Your character must age one month every three weeks.
