Mates will be of different genders. I have nothing against those of the same, but it has never happened before in the wild, at least here, and thus should not here now—unless it’s for some bizarre plot, or has a very good explanation/build-up and proof of possibility.
The mates may be from different territories, but your leader may choose to punish you.
Please, don't just have you character go up to another of the opposite gender and say, "Let's be mates." Especially if they've never met before. They need to talk for a while before they are mates. They must say "I love you" at least 3 times. It has to be real and don’t make your female go ‘Ooh I love him!’ over any male that steps into the role-play.
Young
1. PM your leader to ask if your character can have young.
2. Your leader will pick the genders of the newborns and the number of them. You get to do the rest, lucky for you!
3. There can be NO MORE than 4 young at a time. Most will however, will have 2-3 kits/pups/hatchings/whatever in them. On very special occasions I may allow and extra one or two.
4. In the event that the parents are from 2 different territories, the MOTHER decides what to do with them. Ex. Half will go with father, half stay will mother, or all go with father, or all stay with mother. If the mother dies, then the father chooses.
5. If your mate dies before your character got pregnant, and if it is okay with your leader, she can be pregnant and say her mate died before he knew. This has happened a few times on other sites, but it isn't very common.
6. I don't think it is unfair that female leaders and deputies do not get to have kits, I find it slightly sexist although I can sort of understand. On this site, I am allowing each female leader and deputy to have young 2 times while in those positions. This may change.
7. If you have female leader/deputy have -shudder- babies, they will do their territory duties until they give birth. They will care for their young for one moon and after that they go back to their duties. (Another cat will take their job while they are busy with young until they resume it. Leaders/Deputies may visit their young as much as they please.)
