SOCIAL BONDS
SOCIAL BONDING is very common among Tsiuris, while they may travel most of their days in solitary, they highly prefer coming together with others of the same species to spend their leisure time with. However, there are some packs of Tsiuris found around Khivine who have decided to stay together for safety and friends; some of these packs even include humans who have proven to be sweet and caring to the species itself. Players may create their own packs for small pack bonuses and for the sake of roleplaying and building a small community of friends.
♦ For a pack to be recognized there must be at least four (4) players (including the owner) within the group; the group must be visible as a deviantART group or a journal housing rules/policies for members to follow a well as a member list. Packs may be as large as they choose so long as they can keep track of all official members. Packs must choose a location in which they’re commonly found, this will be known as their ‘home’ and they must also have an identifier, such as a flag, symbol, or branding on the Tsiuri and human members that shows who they are. Once a pack has these items in place they may register with the group to be officially recognized and advertised by the group; yes a pack may change their symbols later if they so choose but may not change their symbol more than three (3) times total.
♦ Pack symbols may be applied in the upper right or left corner of import sheets of official members in lowered opacity; brands are the only non-purchasable item that may be applied somewhere on the import’s physical body (taking up no more than 10% of an area); flags/bands/other markers are also allowed on items without purchase of an accessory pack. Members of a pack MUST be officially registered within that pack group to use their symbols, and the pack must be official within the main group.
♦ Pack benefits are small and scattered around the group, as packs are meant as more of a community building exercise, however they do exist. Due to this, users may only choose one (1) pack to be apart of, a user’s Tsiruis must all be apart of one pack only and may not jump around to multiple packs for multiple bonuses. Users may switch packs as they please, however they may not use the benefits of their previous pack when transferring to their new pack.
​
[!] It goes without saying that while the group itself may have whatever themes and age ratings it wants, any images/symbols/names officially associated or passed to the group should be rated PG-13.
EARNING PACK BENEFITS
PACK BENEFITS are benefits users may receive when they are apart of an official pack. Pack Benefits (PBs) occur in what’s known as TIERS; only the owner may register which benefits the pack gets officially though we highly encourage owners to speak to their members about what would likely be the best next benefit for everyone, either by taking votes or having discussions. There are currently three specialty tiers, staying in one consecutive tier will unlock more powerful rewards in your specialty, however packs are more than welcome to jump around. To unlock Pack Benefits, the pack as a whole must acquire Pack Benefit Points (PBP), think of them like experience points but for pack specific activities, earned as a whole by the group.
[!] PBP EARNED is per user, not per Tsiuri the user owns
(yes, each user may register the same image if they/their Tsiuri were part of it)
PACK BENEFIT POINTS TO EARN
✦Pack Member in Image/writing: +2 PBP for the entire image | +2 PBP for collaborations
✦Participation in a Pack-Only Activity (Nothing but pack members): +5 PBP
✦Breeding between two pack members: +2 PBP /per breeding
[!] Packs must in some way keep a paper trail of their PBP submitted and keep it all in a tracker or excel.
Moving to the next level [or hopping to a different tier] will need however much PBP you have in addition to new PBP.
For example moving from a Level 1 benefit (100PBP) to a Level 2 benefit (+250PBP) would require a grand total of 350PBP. Another example would be jumping from a Tier 1 Level 1 (100PBP) to a Tier 2 Level 1 (100PBP) which would require a grand total of 200 PBP.
