Welcome to MUSTANG: The New Arrival!

TNA is a literate and mostly realistic wild horse RPG with moderate fantasy elements to spice things up! Join us in developing this open world RPG experience.

This thread serves as a general hub for the sites rules and important information. Feel free to PM a staff member with any questions, concerns or suggestions! We are always looking for things to improve on.

GENERAL RULES & INFORMATION:

---

- One account per member, and wait for characters to be accepted before posting.

- The forum is rated 3-1-3. Because of this, we recommend users being at least 16 years old when joining due to heavy topics that will be found around the site.

- At this time, 6 months is equivalent to 1 in game year. This is subject to change as staff flesh out the site, overall plot and timeline better. The season changes every 48 days.

- Mortals and Otherworldlies can live up to 50 years. We allow members to choose how they age their own characters.

- When posting potentially triggering content, proper warning is necessary in the title OR first line of your post, preferably before your posting table.

- Swearing is allowed in posts. Please keep thread titles clean, however. Excessive use of foul language should be tagged under a trigger warning.

- We do not allow graphic sexual content or posting. Breeding on site is on a fade to black basis. Threading the before and after are okay, just keep it tasteful.

- 100 word minimum. We encourage rapid fire posting as well as more in depth multi paragraph style writing.

- Any artwork used on site should have appropriate credits. Make sure you read your artists TOS! Staff will be checking regularly to ensure proper crediting is happening for any and all parties.

- If table images and application references are not artwork made by or for you, they must be sourced from free to use stock providers and appropriately credited if applicable. Make sure images are allowed to be posted without alterations first. Images taken from Google are not allowed anywhere except as linked references only.

- Members are allowed to buy, sell and trade amongst each other.

- No power-playing or “God-moding” is allowed unless it is discussed and approved between role players. Make sure you’re communicating with your threading partners before making decisions for their characters that go beyond the standard touching, minor attacks and actions.

- English based; please make sure you have translations at the bottom of your posts if using different languages for dialogue.

- This is meant to be a safe, inclusive environment for all. There’s a strict anti-bullying policy here. Everyone’s allowed grace but the site runs on a one warning and done if it happens a second time to protect all involved.

- All members and staff are required to keep an up to date character log with link to original application included.

- Please make sure you’re in contact with staff when issues arise vs handling it yourself — retaliation is not tolerated, either. Discord and PM’s are the best way to contact us. Use our individual accounts instead of the Lorekeeper for faster response time!

DESIGNS !:

---

We do not have strict design rules, but do ask that everyone keeps in mind that we are moderate fantasy with mostly realistic aspects. The only characters able to cross into a more full fantasy are the Immortals. We highly encourage diversity in designs, and are always available to discuss one you’re thinking about joining if you’re unsure! We ask that all character designs be able to be loosely translated into actual horse colors, genetics and markings in some way. 

- No exposed skeletal parts. The only exceptions to this is Immortals, or purchasing a store item for it for an Otherworldly character.
- No fully translucent coats.
- Neon colorations within the design are okay, but full costs need to be able to be as loosely translated to real horse colors for genetic purposes during breeding. Staff will assign genetics if you are not able to provide them, just let us know that you will be needing them done.
- We only accept equine characters at this time.
- We accept most mythological equine species as long as they fit design rules and we do not ask for specification outside of Mortal or Otherworldly.
- Characters are allowed clothing and accessory items without purchase. Clothing cannot cover more than half of the body, so no pants or shirts. Cloaks are totally okay!
