Wolf Guide
This will explain everything you need to know about making your wolf (character).
Acceptable Pelt Colors
These are the pelt colors that we allow you to have on Caelestis.
Thank you to Naya for kindly making this magnificent color chart for us. Naya at Deviantart.
Acceptable Eye Colors
Thank you, again to the wonderful Naya for making this color chart. Naya at Deviantart.
These are the eye colors that we allow, so basically all of them, but we generally leave the white and black eye colors for blind or vision impaired characters. If you would like to have a character with either black or white eye please contact Monster (me)
Measures
When making your wolf, please add in the different conversions for the weight height and length.
The conversion we would like you to use:
Weight - Kilograms, and Pounds
Height - Centimeters, and Inches
Length - Centimeters, and Inches
I highly recommend this website, to help you with the conversions LINK because this is the one I use, and I find it very handy to have in your bookmarks! and it is also very helpful, because I am hopeless at conversions!
If you use or would like to use other measures, feel free. Just please if you do add these in too.
All wolves come in different shapes and sizes, but one thing we like to keep realistic here at Caelestis, is the look of our wolves.
Although this is a fantasy wolf RP, that is regarding to the use of powers and talking etc.
Things like the way a wolf looks, and the size and shape of them we like to keep more on the real side of things. So basically what I am getting at is that you can't have a wolf that is strange looking (a triangular prism with trees for legs, and no head).
Okay so if you are wondering what size your wolf should be we have a size range and we ask kindly of you to use it. So it is pretty basic it is just ages and size, so if you want you wolf to be short and thin you would stick to numbers in between the small size. But if you want something more medium or large you would find a number that fits your wolf right inside that range.

Life Cycle
Through Caelestis the wolf lifetime is quite long. Here at Caelestis you can't create a wolf under the age of 1 year. If you would like to have an Infant, or a Pup they only place you can receive them is the shelter.
They start of as an Infant.
--------------------------------
Infant: Newborn - 2 months
----------------------------------
The the next stage is a Pup.
----------------------------------
Pup: 2 months - 1 Year
----------------------------
Once they become a Yearling they begin to mature.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Yearling: 1 Year - 3 Years
------------------------------
Then they get older and form a well grown adult.
----------------------------------------------------------
Adult: 3 Years - 8 Years
----------------------------
Now they have reached their full growth they are an elder.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Elder: 8 Years +
-------------------
Accepted Species
For the time being I will allow you to own any wolf species, but if one species becomes to popular and before we know it everyone just owns the same, then I will consider banning the species and once it settles again I will most likely bring it back.
