[center][h3][b][color=black]F.A.Q.[/color][/b][/h3] When questions start arising, I will answer them and post both the questions and answers to them here [sup]as FAQ's work...duh.[/sup][/center] 1. [b]When do the wolves change, how often, and for how long?[/b] [indent][color=lightblue]When in human form, most wolves avoid anywhere where it's too cold during the warmer months of the year. Wolves will change when the temp drops below 50 degrees, and it depends on each wolf how long they will stay a wolf. Each change, after the first 5, will result in less and less time allowed for them to be human. As the years pass, eventually, a wolf will no longer return home. They won't change back to their human form ever again, and they will remain wolves. The new/remaining human Alpha will take over care of the pack that can no longer make the change, being sure to help them along if they are running scarce on food or anything else they might need.[/color][/indent] 2. [b]Can the wolves have children?[/b] [indent][color=lightblue]Yes they can, but only in very rare cases. Some have had kids prior to being turned, and are forced to leave them behind. 99% of the pack members opt out of having children all together in the sad fact that they will never get to see them grow up, or be there when a parent is most needed. Some, again, rare cases, make the mistake of having children after they are turned. Those children are forced into the same lifestyle their parents were cursed with, but not till they reach the age of 15. Maturity for the pack must hit at 15, because the all of two cases that this has happened, they turned by halfway through their 15th year.[/color][/indent] 3. [b]How do the wolves get turned in the first place?[/b] [indent][color=lightblue]Being bitten or scratched, even if the wolf is in their human form. Biting or scratching too hard can result in turning their human victims. Rare cases have ever been recorded [sup]as stated above[/sup] who have been born with the curse. It's not something we :airquote Wolfbloods :airquote hear of everyday.[/color][/indent] 4. [b]What are Pack Positions in Shiver described as?[/b] [indent][color=lightblue]There aren't really any specified ranks, but I figured it'd be cool to include ranks as real wolf packs have their own hierarchy. The books don't have said ranks, although they act as if they did. Paul is pack lead [sup]when in wolf form[/sup], Beck is his right hand (beta) and Sam is like Beck's son, and he is a bit of a loner, so he kind of falls in to Omega.[/color][/indent] [center][h3][b]Character Creation Form[/b][/h3] [h3]:: [b]Personal Information[/b] ::[/h3][/center] [b]Full Birth-Given Name:[/b] Give us your whole, real name.
