General Rules:

Follow the standard roleplaying rules. This includes no godmodding, no power-playing, and no general n00bishness.

You can have as many characters as you want. However, you must be active on all of them, and they must all be approved individually. If you cannot keep up with a character, he/she will be put in the Orphanage.

No extreme powers for your characters. Please refer to the Side Effects section for specific restrictions. If you’re not sure if your power is “extreme” or not, just ask me.

Don’t have your Morph injected with too many kinds of DNA. My general limit is two or three, but exceptional RPers can have more if done correctly.

Please keep everything at a PG-13 level or lower. I don’t mind if you swear, but don’t go overboard.

Please at least attempt to be literate. Everybody makes mistakes, but everybody also knows how to use spell-check software.

Morph Side Effects:

This section is dedicated to listing known side effects that occur when a human is injected with animal DNA. This list can be very useful when trying to build your character. These are listed by rarity, from the most common to the rarest of all side effects. Of course, you’re free to add your own side effects if they’re reasonable, and this list will be updated as needed.

Effect: Death
Rarity: Varies
Description: The Morph’s body completely rejects the animal’s DNA and tries to expel it until death. This can happen instantaneously or gradually and depends on the body type of the test subject as well as the DNA used in testing.

Effect: Change in appearance
Rarity: Extremely common
Description: The most common side effect. The human’s body morphs and begins to take the shape of the animal that they have been fused with. However, it is very rare for a full transformation to occur.

Effect: Adaptation
Rarity: Common
Description: The Morph begins to adapt to the animal’s style of life. This can include change in diet, a desire for a new habitat, and even beginning to take on the behavior of the animal.

Effect: Communication
Rarity: Somewhat common
Description: The Morph has the ability to communicate with the animal that it has been fused with.

Effect: Transformation
Rarity: Rare
Description: The Morph has the ability to transform between human and animal form. This can range from a full transformation into the animal to morphing into what the average Morph looks like and even “Morph form” into the full animal. This becomes even rarer if a Morph has been injected with two or more kinds of DNA.

Effect: Full change in appearance
Rarity: Very rare
Description: The Morph’s human appearance is completely lost, and it takes on the appearance of the animal it has been injected with. The chances of this happening to a Morph with more than one kind of DNA in them are rarer than rare.
