For your characters to have cubs, both parents must be Gladiators! It's also preferred that both characters be the same (or close to) the same species! No 'servals x tigers' or 'bobcats x lions' cubs please! Below is a reference list for which species may have cubs together. Group 1 felines may choose mates from Group 1 only and vice versa.
Group 1 | Group 2
Lions | Servals
Tigers | Bobcats
Cheetahs | Fishing Cats
Cougars | Caracals
------------- | Lynxes
Leopards, Jaguars, Snow Leopards may pick mates from either Group 1 or 2
If your character species isn't listed here and you're uncertain of it's breeding group, don't hesitate to send the staff a PM! We'll be glad to answer!
Once you've decided your female gladiator is pregnant, her player must note the group with the names of both parents and their Empires. One of the admins (most likely the leader of your empire) will use the coin and dice method for determining the gender and number of kits your female will have
~~~
Example
- Talon of Air Empire x --- of _____ Empire
Dice role will determine number of cubs
Rolled number was 3
Talon and --- will have 3 cubs
Coin flip will determine the gender of the cubs:
(male = heads / female = tails)
H / T / H
Talon and --- will have 2 males and 1 female
Note: If your characters have more than 1 cub(s) in a litter, then the remaining cubs will be adopted out to new players. These character must remain within the group and the player adopting these cubs may not remove them from the EBC world.
~~~
Span of pregnancy: Females will stay pregnant for 2 weeks.
The parents of the cubs have this 2 week time span to fill out an application sheet for their future cubs! Please make sure you make the cub's rank as "cub" or "kit"! Once your two week wait period is over, the cubs are "born" and you may submit your application sheets for them.
New cubs have another wait period of 1 week before you may start RPing them to promote their rank!
Note! Your character must have successfully completed at least 2 of the mandatory monthly assignments before they may have cubs!

Armor
Armor designs are a very important part of the Empires. Not only does it help protect the cat in battle but they're also used as a symbol of rank and past achievements. Those of a higher rank would naturally have their armor made out of metals that were more valuable and made with a finer quality than those of lower rank.
~~
First Class materials/gems:
Gold, Silver, Platinum, Silk, Satan
Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds, Diamonds
Second Class materials/gems:
Iron, Copper, Steel, Bronze, Pewter, Leather
Topaz, Amethyst, Tigers-eye, Ivory, Obsidian
Third Class materials/gems:
Zinc, Iron, Nickel, Lead, Brass, Titanium, Leather, ordinary cloth
Quartz occasionally but gems for Third classes are rare
~~
Classes:
First Class
Leader, Silver Gladiator, Healer, Blacksmith
Second Class:
Experienced Gladiators, Young Gladiators whom earn recognition from their leader for a brave act
Third Class:
Newly promoted Gladiators, Apprentices, Cubs
~~
Healer/Healer Apprentice armor:
Because Healers and their apprentices rarely see the heat of battle, they can choose whether or not they have armor made for them. Many choose to just because it promotes their rank, but it's not uncommon to see a Healer or Healer's Apprentice without any armor at all.
Bounty Hunter armor:
Bounty Hunters are fitted with armor on behalf of the humans but the quality of the armor's metal and gems still follow the "Class" system above.

Bounty Hunters: Hunting Empire cats
- Hunts are mainly roleplay based. Bounty Hunters may challenge 'wanted' cats if they are actively taking part on their Empire's roleplay. (Active = within the last week). Only wanted cats may be challenged.
- To challenge an Empire cat, the bounty hunter must join in on that Empire's roleplay and roleplay a scenario where they challenge the cat. Empire cats can't deny Bounty hunter challenges.
- The Bounty Hunter must then send the Empire leader saying they've challenged a wanted cat. An admin will then make a special challenge thread for the two characters to roleplay a fight on. The two cats have one week to finish their roleplay then all the admins will review the thread to decide a winner. If an admin's character was taking part in the challenge, then they won't be able to vote.
- The looser of the battle must give up a small amount of EP to the winner. If the Empire cat is determined to be the looser, then they are "captured" by the Bounty Hunter.
- "Captured" Empire cats stay captured until they build up 10EP from roleplaying. While Empire cats are captured, they're only allowed to roleplay in the Captured Ones board, they can't take part in assignment missions, and all EP they earn from their their caputurement during this time isn't added to their Character's/Empire's total.
- Bounty hunters must wait 1 week after they've finished a challenge before they can challenge another wanted cat.
- Bounty Hunters may not kill Empire cats during challenge matches
Group 1 | Group 2
Lions | Servals
Tigers | Bobcats
Cheetahs | Fishing Cats
Cougars | Caracals
