Birth

- For almost all newborns, they will be the result of a coupling in the game, rather than created from scratch.

- Characters may join together in the hopes of getting pregnant.

- Although a majority of births will be the result of the traditional biological coupling - male and female - it is possible to have any variety of creatures birth young. Certain items and plots in the game will give you the chance to have an unnatural conception like this, each with their own stipulations.

- The chances of a pregnancy forming to term with the result of a successful birth has many factors. When trying to get pregnant, keep these in mind, as there will be times when the pregnancy is unsuccessful.

- Factors that may determine the success or failure of a pregnancy: - If you would like to attempt a pregnancy, the potential parents must have at least one full IC thread together. (Obviously, they'll need to have met.)
 * Physical stats and condition of the potential parents (age, health, etc.)
 * Prior pregnancies
 * Number of recent attempts
 * Other factors in the game (if either parent has had a curse laid on them, etc.)

- When you are ready to try for a pregnancy, FILL OUT THE FORM IN THIS BOARD and you will find out the results soon.

- If you would like to have a choice on what the offspring of a coupling is like, you have a couple options. DESCRIBE METHODS OF ATTAINING

+ APPEARANCE - design part or all of the physical appearance of the newborn + GENDER - choose the sex of the newborn + NUMBER - choose to have the pregnancy result in twins or even triplets + TRAIT - any other trait you would like them to have

- All newborns will have their appearance designed by NAME OF WHOEVER IT IS. If you have a design or input you'd like to have applied to a newborn, you will need to provide them with MONEY OR CUSTOMIZATION ITEM.

- Certain traits can be passed down to offspring. Whether they are appearance based or MAGIC based, it is possible for offspring to inherit attributes that belong to their parents. However, unless you provide certain items or go through certain processes, these will be determined at random by staff.

- If both parents have a certain trait - whether it's appearance or MAGIC attributed - the offspring will have a greater likelihood of inheriting that trait. It is not guaranteed, but it is more likely.

- Using certain items will allow you to guarantee certain aspects of the pregnancy. How you acquire these and use them will vary, especially to make sure certain attributes aren't overused (such as immortality).
