The Group system isn't too complex. There is a Dominant Male and a Dominant Female. In Meerkat society the Dominant Female leads the group and the Dominant Male keeps watch for predators and rival gangs. Each Dominant of a group is allowed to make their own groups and requirements. When you want to join a group you must make sure that your character fits the requirements that the Dominant posted. You are required in every group to write at least 1 Paragraph, you can write more than one if you would like to.
The Posting rule will apply to a majority of groups. (If you are the dominant of a group you must contact Flower to change the requirements) On every post that you write it must be at least 2 paragraphs. 2 Paragraphs means 5 sentences at least. No Choppy Sentances allowed.
Creating your character is quite simple. You must create a Character sheet for your Character. The Charrie sheet must include:
Name:
Gender:
Age:
Personality:
Backstory (optional or you can tell your backstory during rp):
Reference/Description (Please use an actual picture of your Character):
You should check to make sure that your character name isn't taken. Check in the Character Directory and search under the appropriate letter.
Mating is reserved for the Dominant Female. The reason it isn't reserved for the Dominant Male is because any male in a group can leave to find a mate or rove. The male can come back if they wish to. If any other female mates it is up to the Dominant Female of the group to decide her punishment. (This rule can be broken because in the rules it says no perfect little angel Meerkats allowed but be warned that if you do mate you will most likely be punished)
How trading works is fairly simple. A person offers characters in the appropriate section, and they have their own mini-rules. Once a character is won or given away, the new owner (a) if it is already an accepted character has to re-post the character's profile in the file with (Re-Post) in the title.
