Rules - All WolfPlay rules apply.
- You can have up to 2 characters for now. This number may increase if not a lot of people join.
- No perfect characters! Everyone has flaws and weaknesses.
- Try to write at least 2-3 sentences in each reply. I won't be too strict about word count.
- Please write at least 3 sentences for personality and appearance.
- Hate the character, not the player.
- No godmodding (controlling other players' characters).
- Try to join only if you'll be active! If you'll be inactive for some time, please PM me!
- Your own characters can't be mates. This will provide more opportunity for players to roleplay with each other.
- This isn't a hyper-realistic roleplay by any means, but reading the rat info and taking it into account will really help this feel like a rat roleplay!

Plot The city is a big place, and many colonies of rats have carved out homes here. But now the humans want them gone. The colony is threatened by traps, poison, humans hiding food from the rats, and even stray cats and trained dogs as the humans try everything they can to drive rats out of the city-- or kill them all if they have to. Can you and your colony survive, or will you all be wiped out by the humans' efforts? Edited at May 26, 2024 05:47 AM by Starlight Serpent

General Rat Info - A rat colony is run like how people thought wolf packs were: It is led by an Alpha, the most dominant rat with the most confident personality and best leadership qualities, but not necessarily the biggest and strongest. Second in command are 1-4 Betas. The bulk of the colony are Gammas, who may have their own dominance hierarchy but are generally docile and easygoing. Some colonies may have Zetas, which are like omegas in a wolf pack, except Zetas generally don't face cruel treatment, and just avoid the Alpha and Betas.
- Wild rats excavate a burrow system. The rats in the roleplay live in building walls, but could inhabit trees or the ground if necessary. They have special chambers for raising pups (baby rats) and storing food. Nests are lined with newspaper, paper towels, leaves, or any other soft material.
- Wild rats will spend their time digging, foraging, and scanning the area for threats. But rats are also highly playful and social animals! They spend a lot of time grooming each other, and they also cuddle and share food with each other. They also chew a lot to keep their front teeth from growing too long, and play fight with each other.
- Well-travelled foraging routes will have scent trails marking the way.
- Wild rat colonies can get BIG, sometimes having over 150 individuals! This number greatly reduced in the roleplay because of human pest control, but don't be afraid to mention large crowds or use NPCs!
- Though fancy rats (domesticated rats) are different from wild rats, you can use fancy rat varieties in this RP for the sake of the characters not looking too similar. If you're not familiar with fancy rat varieties, I'd highly recommend looking some up! They can be really beautiful and interesting!
- Rats forage for nuts, fruits, seeds, vegetables, and the occasional bit of carrion in the wild. City rats eat lots of garbage and pet food, introducing more meat into their diet. Rats especially love grapes, sourdough bread, and french fries. On occasion they will catch bugs, and in rare cases, mice.
- A pet rat lives to be 3-4 years old, but their lives tend to be on the shorter side in the wild.
