HYBRIDS AVAILABLE TO PLAY

Check out the Research break through and Creating a Hybrid!
WoLF: Creating A HybridCreating A HybridAs one might expect, a hybrid bends the rules of character design! Though, there are still limits and boundaries to how extreme and how adventurous one can get. Here, we will break down the hybrid method for you.Non-Wolf Hybrids Availability: These can be made freely by current members and require a Level 3 application! These are not available to new players. Unless it is a CoyDog, that requires an item. App: Non-wolf hybrids will go on the Other Creatures Application. Genetics: Must be species that can feasibly combine! Black bears and brown bears, not ravens and mountain lions. Sizes: Do your research! Reference IRL hybrid stats if possible, if not aim for reasonable averages. Avoid hybrid gigantism (like what happens with ligers), if they are too drastically large you might be corrected. Age: Can enter at any age, however if they include Dog and are born in the Sanctuary, they should not be older than 5.Additional App Traits: You cannot add things like dwarfism/gigantism, albino etc. What’s Allowed: Injury based or Level 1 traits (blindness, missing limb, deafness), Heterochromia.Dog Traits (CoyDogs): Can express traits that the Dog in question has. Should not take details that aren’t already prevalent.Generational Decay: As/If a character has kids, over the generations, unless bred with another hybrid, 1 half will become less prevalent until it drops off completely. Visually this will matter, if an animal loses the other in them, they will likely only show the dominant visuals. Markings/Colors: Reference the species! Combine as necessary, due to the variety of animals this will be reviewed case by case. But basic saturation and design rules apply. Histories: No key specifics here! Unless it is a coydog, see Wolf/Dog.Wolf/CoyoteThese can be made freely by current members and require a Level 3 application! These are not available to new players. App: Wolf Hybrids will go and the Wolf Hybrid Application and cannot start in a pack unless born in-game to one. Genetics: Reference the bloodline or character and the coyote. Size: Do your research! Reference IRL hybrid stats if possible, if not aim for reasonable averages. Avoid hybrid gigantism (like what happens with ligers), if they are too drastically large you might be corrected. Age: Can enter at any age!Additional App Traits: You cannot add things like dwarfism/gigantism, albino etc. What’s Allowed: Injury based or Level 1 traits (blindness, missing limb, deafness), Heterochromia.Generational Decay: As/If a character has kids, over the generations, the other half will become less prevalent until it drops off completely. Visually this will matter, if a pup loses the cpy in them, they will likely only show wolf visuals. Markings/Colors: A Coywolf is still fairly wolf-like in appearance, most design rules will still apply.Wolf/Dog + Coy/Dog Hybrids Availability: These can be made by current members if they have an item that allows it and requires a Level 3 application! These are not available to new players. App: Wolf Hybrids will go and the Wolf Hybrid Application and cannot start in a pack unless born in-game to one. Coydogs go on Other Creature Genetics: When randomized, these details will be provided! Reference the Dog in question and the bloodline limits. If pre-determined, reference the bloodline or character and the dog. Sex of the parents when chosen are not relevant to the character Disclaimer: Keep in mind, these dogs are NOT your character's parents directly. Simply a catalyst of genetics for your hybrid. You will not list them as family.Size: Reference the Dog and the bloodline chosen, or the size of your character. They should be within an average of the 2. Size should not exceed into gigantism numbers. Age: Can enter at any age, however if they include Dog and are born in the Sanctuary, they should not be older than 5.Additional App Traits: You cannot add things like dwarfism/gigantism, albino etc. It is likely these traits will be negated due to the nature of the Dog’s pelt. What’s Allowed: Injury based or Level 1 traits (blindness, missing limb, deafness), Heterochromia. Dog Traits: Can express traits that the Dog in question has. Should not take details that aren’t already prevalent. Generational Decay: As/If a character has kids, over the generations, the Dog half will become less prevalent until it drops off completely. Visually this will matter, if a pup loses the dog in them, they will likely only show wolf visuals. Markings/Colors: A Wolfdog may have unique markings that would normally be illegal if the dog in question has them. Be sure it is not designed like a chimera! It should not look like you glued a wolf and a dog together. As mentioned with generation decay, this applies to marks as well, the dog marks may be less obvious the less dog is present.-----The Potential Dogs SSS Event Dogs - No Longer interactable[Link/Image]Special Visual Traits: Post - Event Dogs - Interactable in Ranger situations + at Ranger Station.  WoLF: Research Breakthrough - Hybrid HypeTHE BREAK THROUGHWith great focus on the task at hand, the local rangers and researchers spent the summer months gathering data and talking out what they could possibly do about the Dog problem. This rooted all the way back to that tourist event they had. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t stop all rule breakers.Then some ideas started to brew between the park stuff, but unfortunately these discussions had to go higher than themselves if they wanted to get anywhere. Between talks of permits and research, as well as the potential impact on the wildlife there would be. Thorough inspection of the hybrids that were taken into custody began. Most seemed healthy, and appeared to have thrived thus far in the harsh wilds. By a sheer miracle, it was granted that these hybrids could stay, but only in the circumstance the dog contamination in the Sanctuary could be controlled. Since the lands were large, but rather cut off from other critical wildlife, the Lunar Sanctuary was allowed to proceed with hybrid studies and rescue and rehabilitation.For now, some were released once again, while others would be brought in from outside the Park, but before this project can go any further. The Rangers had some construction to do..., HYBRID RULESSimilar to Loners and Other Creatures, Hybrids are not available as your first character, (some adopts/litters may differ)Hybrids are available as an option after the first 3 months as a member + showing activity.Hybrid is a Tier 2 trait, so requires a minimum of 700+ word personalities and 1000+ word pre-group historiesDog hybrids can NOT be made freely. These can only be achieved via special adopts, litters, or special items you by from the shop or win in the roulette (spins earned by monthly average activity)Hybrids must be a species that can legitimately hybridize. No deer/wolves, no bird/bobcat. (Interspecies relations are a-okay tho! Just not children hybrids)Adding other traits on top of hybridization will be case by case, taking in consideration the natural traits of the animals themselves, WILD ANIMAL HYBRIDSAny combo that does not include dogs!Blood line should look like:Bloodline: Animal 1 + Animal 2 Ex. Bobcat + LynxEx. Wolf (Bayou/Mountain) + CoyoteHybrids can only be created as a 2 animal hybrid.No CoyWolfDog out the gate More mixes can only result from breeding.ex . Lynx/Bob x Ocelot lynx would become Lynx/Bob + Ocelot. If this breeds to a lynx it will become Dom Lynx with Recessive Bob/Ocelot, DOG HYBRIDSWolfdog or CoydogsBlood line should look like for example: Wolf (Bayou/Mountain) + DogCoyote + Dog MixShould only say DOG or DOG Mix - put the breed or Mix breed of dog in Physical DescriptionDog will always become recessive in a litter, even if both parents have dog Dog will not pass to grand puppies unless there was dog present in both parents in breedingWhen generating a hybrid. It is NOT required to be a pup. However when looking at history, if they are from within the sanctuary, they are unlikely to be more that 5 years old as the first event The Human Invasion, is when the risk of Dogs first became most severe, WHEN “BREEDING” DOG HYBRIDSWhen using these items reply to the following threads- if you use this item only you can make this character. You cannot generate a character and let another member use it! If you wanna give these items away, visit Siren. These resulting characters will not be truly related to the NPCs or any of the existing characters. Chosen/randomized characters would strictly be catalysts for appearance and bloodlines.Using Vial of Dog Blood - Must be in your inventory to use. Coyote is also a possible randomization. Since this is entirely random there is no specific form. When an admin replies, use this comment proof when purchasing your character! (Sex of parents do not matter)Using Vial of Dog SpitWolf/Coyote of Choice: Can be a specific Pure bloodline, or one of your own characters. Link if active characterChoice of Dog NPC: Link the NPCAdmin will confirm this generation, use this as proof when purchasing your character.COMMENT HERE TO USE DOG BLOOD -> NOT OPEN YETCOMMENT HERE TO USE DOG SPIT -> NOT OPEN YETAVAILABLE DOGS NPCS -Will Be Added After Event!, OBTAINABLE HYBRIDS -Vial of Dog Blood: Bucks Human Oddities - 150 AntlersVial of Dog Spit: Seasonal Activity Roulette Available Group-made adoptsAvailable Litter Adopts

These are Level 3 traits and are only available to current members. Meaning they cannot be the character
you join with, but they can be the second!
Important: WOLFDOGS and COYWOLVES will be getting their own applications. They will not start in a
pack unless born in game. But since they are not solely other creatures a unique app is on the way.
Any other hybrid will go on OTHER CREATURES
