Breeding Rules & Genetics

[Toloka]

rules

001. No graphic breeding at all. Period.

002. In fact, you don't even have to roleplay this at all. Just fill out the form and post, that keeps everything simple.

003. But just so that we're clear, do not graphicly breed anywhere on this site. I will ban you and delete the threads as well as hold an incredibly bad grudge.

004. Forced breeding is allowed, but it has to be plotted out with the other player and you must have their consent. And you both must post in the appropriate form.

005. Overall, you and the player that are attempting to breed must post in the proper form here.

006. Just because you posted your forms does not mean that your horse is automatically pregnant, it has to be approved by the Staff first.

007. You may or may not have had a successful breed (e.g. the coin-flip said no or the season is not permitting breeding at this time)

008. However, you may buy a certain yes for your breeding in the Shop. That must be presented when you post the forms.

form

Name: Pretty simple, just post your character's name.
Gender: Is your character a stallion or a mare?
Council: Again, simple. Tell me which council your character is from (Zephyrus', Notus', Eurus', Boreas', or Loner/Rouge)
Rank: Deity, Imperial, Royal, Herd Leader, Heir, Council Member, or Loner/Rouge.

That's it. Pretty easy, right? Once you and your partner are accepted, after waiting the two real day time period, go and fill out the next form in "Where Foals Come From"

[blockquote][b]Name:[/b]

form

Name: Self explanatory; your character's name goes here.
Gender: Character gender goes here.
Breed: Your character's breed goes here.
Elemental Skill and Level: Your character's Elemental Power and it's Level goes here (e.g. Advanced level Sight Elemental)
Eye Color: Self explanatory.
Coat Color: Self explanatory.
Markings and Colors: Describe your character's markings and marking colors here.
Mane and Tail Colors: Pretty simple. Just put your character's mane and tail color here.
Council: Put your character's council here. This is very important because each council character has their own strengths and disabilities.
Extra: Anything extra goes here.

There you go!

In order to keep the site as realistic as possible and to "remove the human factor" we've devised a epically evil plan.

May I introduce you to...THE RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR!

Using real-life ratios of successful equine foaling, twinning and stillbirths this generator will help us to decide on your newborn foal's information. We enter our magical (but true) ratios into the random number generator & then show you the results! Please don't generate for yourself (that's cheating!).

We start by entering a 1 to 125 ratio into the generator, then we hit the button. Depending on what number it tells us, your foal's outcome is determined!

If you roll...

1 = healthy identical twins
13 or 14 = stillborn foal
25 or 26 = health damage to mare (staff will determine)
66 = unhealthy or deformed foal
100 = healthy twins
101 - 104 = one healthy twin, one stillborn twin

Any other number is a normal healthy birth

A 1 to 2 randomization (or coin flip) will determine the gender of the foal(s).

OMG! I have another website to introduce you to!
Meet THE EQUINE COLOUR CALCULATOR!

This calculator is slightly more complicated that the Random Number Generator, but still very helpful. You'll even be using them together!

Again, this will be used by a staff member to determine the coat colour of your foal(s).

First, fill-in the parent's stats. The drop-down list shows the colour of their coat. The check box that says "Grey" should only be checked if the horse carries the grey gene (this will only apply for second generation characters) or their coat is grey. When in doubt, don't check it off. After you're done, click continue.

The next screen is the Advanced Options. These are sometimes helpful, but not necessary to use. Click calculate.

Now you'll have a screen very similar to this. The percentages circled in blue show the possibility of that coat colour occuring from a foaling of the two horses listed at the top of the screen. As long as all of these percentages are equal (they should be), count up the number of possible results. Put 1 to (the number of possible results) into the Random Number Generator then see which coat is chosen.

This all seems very complicated, but don't worry; I know our fantastic staff members will all be able to handle it!

If you have any questions, feel free to pm me!

Staff ---
I'll probably be taking over most of the foal-stat duties for the site but if you do hand-out information for a birth please be sure to take a screenshot of both your random number generations and your colour calculation results to host & post with the foaling thread they correspond with. Thanks!
