Free Markings vs Racial Markings

Free markings are markings that can be used across every race, whereas racial markings are those that are unique to specific races and cannot appear on others. Icewarg have barring and appaloosa, Stonewarg have dun and roan, and Woodwarg have brindle and fawn spots.

• Races cannot express markings that are unique to other races unless also listed on their guide. E.g., Woodwarg cannot have barring, appaloosa, roan, or dun.
• All races can express wolf-like markings as long as they conform to base and accent color rules. White markings based on the patterns found in dogs e.g., Irish spotting, such as the collar on an Australian Shepherd, would not be accepted.
• You can find examples of "wolf-like" markings here, and here.

Minimum and Maximum Ranges

• If a range is provided:
  • Blue areas display the maximum area a marking is allowed.
  • Red areas display the minimum area that a marking must be present in. A marking with a minimum requirement does not need to cover the entire range.

Clothing

• Clothing is limited to five locations: head, chest, body, legs/paws, and tail.
• Clothing should not resemble armor, e.g., leather bracers are considered armor not clothing.
• Cloaks are allowed.
• Everyday clothing can be mixed fabrics, however, should be indicative of race. E.g., Woodwarg wearing soft silks, Icewarg wearing thick, heavy coats, Stonewarg wearing non-restrictive clothing.
• Some colors of clothing are more expensive than others to own and maintain:
  
  
  • CHEAP: Red, Orange
  • MIDDLING: Yellow, White
  • EXPENSIVE: Green, Blue, Purple

Armor

• Armor must follow the appearance of the depicted starter set or shop-purchased armor for your race.
• You’re free to add scratches/damage/rust to the metal.
• You are welcome to customize the color of the fabric or fur that appears on the armor indicative of the colors mentioned above in the CLOTHING section.
• You are able to customize paint symbols/war paint that appears on armor.
• You cannot drastically change the color of the metal and the overall design of the armor must remain the same, e.g., no changing the shape or material. Slight variations in metal color (darker or lighter) are acceptable.

Accessories

• Piercings should be relegated to areas of the head.
• Jewelry is free and unlimited to apply. It can take the form of piercings, bracelets, necklaces, and hair pieces.
• Bracelets can appear on legs or tails.
  Jewelry purchased in-store will have a stat bonus applicable.
• Purchased jewelry must look like the item featured in the store.
• Thralls are identifiable by enchanted leg bands. These bands will have the stamp of their race, the stamp of the clan their master belongs to, and their master’s name engraved upon them. These are immediately recognizable as thrall identification.
• War paint is allowed in one color of your choice when you receive your starter chest. It can appear in multiple locations anywhere on the body, e.g., face, and legs. War paint cannot have a glow effect or appear with more than one color unless these options are bought from the shop. Changes to your War Paint should be requested in our cosmetic changes thread.

Body Mass

All wargs should fall within their specified height range. A warg that is under or overweight may have health issues. Health issues associated with weight will not affect your statistics and are to be used as flavor in roleplays. These are discussed further below.

If your character is under or overweight, this must be included in the character’s bio for as long as they are outside the weight range of their race.

Underweight

The following problems may occur in wargs who are underweight. A warg is considered underweight when their weight falls 15-20% below the normal range for their race.

• Fertility issues
• Stunted growth
• Increased susceptibility to diseases and viruses
• Lethargy
• Physical weakness
• Fragile bones
• Hair loss

Overweight

The following problems may occur in wargs who are overweight. A warg is considered overweight when their weight falls 15-20% above the normal range for their race.

• Sleep apnea
• Increased chance of heart attack/stroke
• Asthma
• Bone malformation
• Skin lesions
• Lethargy
• Osteoarthritis

Physical Disabilities

• A warg can have at maximum two missing limbs.
• Missing limbs can be replaced by a prosthetic to assist with weight distribution. Prosthetics of varying styles, complexity, and materials are available. When creating a character with a prosthetic, take into consideration the wealth of your character and select a prosthetic style reflective of their social standing. 
• Prosthetics should be reminiscent of Viking/early medieval prosthetics blended with high fantasy.
• Most prosthetics would be simplistic in their design but may make use of magical components.
• Missing digits are allowed (including eyes, ears, tail loss, tail kinks, etc.) however please take into account things like decreased sight, hearing, and loss of balance in their bio.
• Major or traumatic injuries that would leave bone or muscle exposed are not allowed.

SCARRING

• Wargs with dark skin will have darker colored scars.
• Wargs with light skin will have lighter colored scars.
• Wargs with mottled skin may have scars with light or dark variations.

Coloring Lineart

• Lineart color must always be darker than the underlying color.

Dropshadows

• Dropshadows or “halos” are acceptable. Must be a dark color. Should be soft-edged and not distracting.
• Light or brightly colored dropshadows will not be accepted.

All character names should be thematically appropriate for the setting, e.g., “Ingvar,” “Morrigan,” “Aldhelm.” Wargs do not have surnames. Nicknames should not appear in the style of titles, e.g., “The Iron Jaw,” “Gladiator,” “The Undying.” Titles must be earned by completing achievements in game.

Further naming conventions can be seen on the individual racial design guides linked above.
