Welcome to the first-ever Spring Festival on A Falling Star! We are hosting a multitude of events over the course of the next month to finish off Spring and bring us into Summer. Contests, drawings, races, you name it - we’ve got it! We are starting off the event with the introduction of our first ever site-wide plot - Omen in the Sky. Each of the Kingdom’s Corvidae have been given a message from the Kingdom of Stars - the Kingdoms must bring about peace or face certain doom, but the War has been raging for generations. Will the Corvidae be able to talk sense into their Alphas, or will the Kingdoms have to face the doom that the Stars predict alone. We can’t wait to find out! Below is a list of just a few of the bonuses and events that we will be having over the course of the next month.
First to WIN or LOSE a spar using our dice-rolling system will receive a prize!
Character Acceptance Bonus - Be entered in a drawing to win a FREE companion!
Run for High Ranks and get free bones!
&& more!
We are a fantasy wolf roleplay centered around three warring Kingdoms and the wolves that call them home. The wolf's ancestors; the Kingdom of Stars, are directly linked to the living wolves. They give Alphas the strength to lead for moons past what would have been their prime, and the Corvidae the ability to heal their fellow packmates through prayer. We are semi-literate, only requiring 150 words per post at a minimum! Please check out our Laws of the Land board for more information, and join us on DISCORD to get to know us better!
3.25.2019 UPDATE HERE! It's officially been a week since opening! We have added a Pup Prediction System, a Fighting System, as well as a huge update to our Shop! Congratulations to Rosa on Global Moderator, and Tali on Pup Predictor!

3.15.2019 - The flowers are blooming, and the prey is running plentiful. Afternoon showers are a frequent occurance across the land, and many newborns are being welcomed into the world after a particularly harsh winter. Major storms seem to be holding back until the Summer, yet the river still runs swiftly.
plot updates
3.22.2019 - The Corvidae for the Kingdom of Astralridge passed away without a Greenhorn to take his place. How will they cope?

DICE ROLLING SYSTEM & REQUEST FORM
Our system is based on a d20, or a twenty-sided dice (1-20). For the purposes of this system, the higher the number, the better! We will be using something called Difficulty Classes (DCs) - which are numbers that you have to either meet (roll exactly, including your bonus) or beat (get higher than) to be considered a success. A naturally rolled 1 will be a failure regardless of bonus, and a naturally rolled 20 will be a success regardless of bonus. Once you roll your 1d20, you will add your bonus to it, and that will be your final result.
For the purposes of AFS, spars are considered fights where there is no damage taken, battles are considered fights between 2-3 wolves, and skirmishes involve several wolves on each side (usually at the borders).
Battles / Spars / Skirmishes (Collectively called fights from here on out.) can be decided upon mid thread, or you can have a thread started using one. Either way, when a fight is about to begin, or intends to begin, a request to fight form must be filled out, so that a moderator can be assigned to judge the spar. Please fill out the form listed below this post, and create a new thread in this board with it, before you begin your fight. Once a moderator has been assigned, you will be allowed to begin the fight. The moderator that is assigned will judge the fight as it is going on to ensure that everything is happening fairly, and to interject if needed. At the end of the fight, they will post a summary of what has happened, and what lasting injuries the fighting wolves need to heal from.
The fight will take place in turn order, meaning that each user will get to go once in a turn, and then it will start from the top again. During each post, each user gets to make one attack, selecting one of the difficulty classes (Shove, Claws & Teeth, Jaws, Scar-worthy Attack, or Maim) to determine what kind of hit they want to attempt. Then, they will write up their post as an ATTEMPT. This attempt needs to be clearly defined, including the LOCATION of the intended injury, the TYPE of injury intended, and exactly HOW they are making the attack. This means no wording that you use can be final in any way shape or form. We do not allow god-moding or power-playing here at AFS.
In your post, please include the official name of the type of attack you are trying to make, the dice roll and your bonus, and your character’s current health. These can be in the notes, in brackets, anywhere is fine so long as they are included.
Each attack will have an amount of damage associated with it. If the attack hits, this damage amount is reduced from the attacked wolf’s overall health. If a wolf’s health reaches 0 or below it, they must forfeit the fight, or die. After a fight is completed, the amount of health lost will indicate the amount of time it will take for the wolf to heal. Please review the Healing After Battle portion of this thread for further reference.
You will use the code below in your post for the dice roll. Remove the ! before roll to use.

→ difficulty classes ←
DC 10 ― SHOVE:
Health Lost: 1 Any kind of shoving, bumping, or otherwise trying to knock a wolf off it’s paws is covered under this. However, the extent of how much a wolf is knocked off their paws is determined by the wolf who is attacked - yet at the very least, they are mildly winded if an attack like this hits. This can include knocking a wolf off of you who has successfully landed a ‘Jaws’ attack.
DC 12 ― CLAWS & TEETH:
Health Lost: 2 This includes any type of scratch that breaks skin (Be reasonable, wolf claws aren’t long.) or mild bite. Mild bites may break skin, but will not penetrate muscle or cause any lasting harm or cause harm to any organs. This type of attack cannot cause damage to an artery.
DC 15 ― JAWS:
Health Lost: 4 This type of attack is specific to biting. A wolf’s jaws are their greatest weapon. With sharp teeth and a biting force that can crack bone, this type of attack is one that allows you to bite into the flesh of your opponent. If a wolf successfully lands this attack, they will have bitten into the flesh of the opponent (excluding any major arteries or organs) and can hang on for a single turn. This means that when the attacked wolf posts, they must take into consideration that the wolf who attacked them is hanging on with their jaws. They may only hang on until their next post, and must let go afterward or make another attempt at continuing to hang on, at the same difficulty class.
DC 20 ― SCAR-WORTHY ATTACK:
Health Lost: 6 This attack can include a bite, a scratch, or a mixture of the two - but the resulting attack if successful will always result in a scar. The bite from this attack has the same strength as one from a ‘Jaws’ attack does, and the wolf attacking can also choose to either hang on, or let go after making the attack. Please make sure your intentions are clear in the post, using something like: “Fawn attempts to -detailed description of bite here-, intending to jump away after causing harm, if the other wolf didn’t stop her.” This allows the wolf who is attacked to make an attack on your wolf as they are stepping away, yet also allows for your intentions of moving to be clear if not interrupted.
DC 25 ― MAIMING:
Health Lost: 8 If this attack is successful, your character can remove or seriously injure part of a wolf’s body. This includes things such as biting off tips of ears, clawing eyes and damaging them (removal will be up to the wolf in question, but this attack will cause permanent damage) and even seriously damaging a limb to the point of it being unusable. However, you cannot remove a limb, or break a bone. These attacks will be reviewed on a case by case basis - please tag a staff member when making this attack.

→ HEALING AFTER BATTLE ←
To obtain a prayer or treatment from a Corvidae or a Corvidae Greenhorn, the wolf in question must have a thread with the Corvidae, or the Corvidae must enter the sparing thread to treat the wolf. At a minimum, two posts are required by the Corvidae for treatment. One to assess the damage, and the next to administer care. For wolves that will take longer to heal, it is preferred that a thread is started with the Corvidae, but it is not required. Health is not regained until all requirements have been met for the healing.
HEALTH LOST: 1-2 points ―Minor Scrape:
Healed within a few days, no treatment needed.
3-5 points ―Minor Injury:
Healed within a week, mild treatment needed, most likely does not require a prayer.
6-10 points ―Serious Injury:
Healed within two weeks. Treatment needed, may need a prayer. If a prayer is given, will be in good enough shape to resume duties after one week, fully healed in two weeks.
11-15 points ―Minor Injury:
Healed within two and a half weeks. Treatment required, without a prayer, add a week onto time required to heal. If a prayer is given, will be in good enough shape to resume duties after a week and a half, fully healed in two and a half weeks.
16-20 points ―Life-risking Injury:
Healed within a month. Treatment required, without a prayer, add two weeks onto required time to heal. With a prayer, will be in good enough shape to resume duties in two weeks, fully healed in a month. Any further sparing at this time could result in death.
20+ points ―Life-Altering Injury:
Healed within a month. Treatment required, without a prayer, add two weeks onto required time to heal. With a prayer, will be in good enough shape to resume duties in two weeks, fully healed in a month. Any further sparing at this time could result in death. These injuries will be felt for moons to come and will scar.
