<center>..:: Roleplay ::..</center>
First off, I would like to state that ROLEPLAY IS NOT REQUIRED. Yes, that's right. It is not required. We may have the statistics bar but you are not required to roleplay your Behemoths.
Now for a lovely frequently asked questions about roleplaying.
<center>
Overworld Map (X is our Location)
Nesting Grounds</center>
..:: The Setting
The Behemoth Ranch, as it's temporarily called, consists of three major buildings. One is the main building where people can come and inquire about owning a Behemoth and renting out a stable to house theirs in, as well as any other information. This is also a major assocation place for owners and their infants. The second building is about two hundred yards northeast, and this is where all the current Behemoths are housed in. This is also a major association place for owners and their pets. The final building is another two hundred yards northwest of the main building, and it has a corral. This is the breeding stable where mothers and fathers to be can have their own private time together. The corral is protected with a magical bubble so that the parents cannot fly away and other Behemoths cannot get in to destroy the eggs.
The surrounding area is mostly grassland with woods to the east, mountains to the north and west, and the ocean to the south. To reach any of these places would take two to five days travel, though with a full grown Behemoth, it could take either longer or shorter. A few trails lead out in each direction, as well as signs that point out the names. A line of fencing, about four feet high at the poles, each pole four and a half feet away from one another with two thick rungs between them, about half a foot between them.
..:: Communication Amongst Behemoths
Each breed has their own language. While to humans each language sounds the same, every pitch, every click has a different meaning, and some noises we can't even hear because they're so low. There is an overall language though that they can speak with one another.
At first, infants are incapable of actual common communication with humans, meaning english. As they gain more knowledge, however, they will soon be able to speak with their owners and with others. They may slur on certain letters, words, or pronunications because of their teeth and tongue. Overall, though, they can learn the language quickly and easily.
In roleplay, when communicating with fellow Behemoths of the same breed, you should use italics.
"Good morning!"
When communicating with the entire species, you should bold your speech.
"Good morning!"
Of course, when you are talking in the normal human language, you can type in regular quotations. Like this:
"Good morning!"
We only suggest this method because then it becomes easier to understand who you're talking to and in what languages. Some Behemoths are capable of learning the language of other breeds, but the chances are extremely slim that they'll understand, and even slimmer that they'll be able to actually speak it.
..:: Choosing Friendships and Relationships
Unlike dragons, which are of one pure allignment, Behemoths have the free will to choose their own. This can cause problems as many of their territorities impede upon one another and they all have unique personalities that don't always fit in with the general stereotypes (IE, a Mountainous may actually attack a human on sight).
This isn't saying, however, that a Shadowling will not befriend an Sky Dancer. It has been known to happen but such a case is rare. It's even more rare for the two of them to mate as they will need to find a place not only to bare and raise their eggs, there is the issue of the separate breeds coming in to intercede.
The concepts of homosexuality and bisexuality do not exist in the Behemoth culture. It is strictly male and female relationships and there isn't even a notion to be homosexual or bisexual. Such a thing is unheard of and has never happened.
** Please note that this last paragraph is included because I do not want this to happen to my creations. I am not a homophobe (I'm dating another female for goodness' sakes!) but again, these creatures are predominantly from an age older than humans, older than time itself, and they live in the old ways. The idea of seeing two creatures of the same sex mating or doing anything sexual is too difficult to comprehend.
This does not mean they cannot be affectionate with one another as a female will nuzzle and bathe another female, but nothing sexual will ever come as a result, and neither will the idea of wanting to be with them in that way.
I apologize if this may interfere with the plans of others but I do not want it on my thread.

Now for a lovely frequently asked questions about roleplaying.
Quote:
Why should we roleplay?
- Well, for starters, the more you roleplay with your Behemoth, the more its happiness bar will go up, and you qualify to boost your other stats as well as get special things.
What sort of special things?
- Familiars, items, ectera. Your Behemoth may also grow faster than normal.
If we do choose to roleplay, how often do we have to?
- That's entirely up to you. I can't say "Roleplay this many times a week!" when there's no guarantee that I'll be able to roleplay that many times a week.
Can we set up a journal for our Behemoth(s)?
- Sure! Of course, I would like to have a guild where we can do that instead so that we don't have to worry about miscellaneous persons trying to be jerks.
Do we have to roleplay on the thread?
- If you'd like me to be able to follow up on you, yes. You can roleplay in outside places, but if you have a journal, please post the log in your journal so I can be sure to upgrade your stats accordingly.
Is there any special format we should roleplay in?
- No, but I prefer that roleplayers use third person roleplay rather than first person. It just sounds so much better. You don't have to though.
What time era is this?
- It is strictly medieval-fantasy with some steam punk (airships, boats, primitive guns) mixed in. TV does not exist. Radio does not exist. Phones do not exist.

<center>..:: Statistic Bars ::..
</center>
This is an image of the certificate, or at least a part of it. This is where all the statistics go, as well as the regular information regarding your Behemoth.
Each certificate is color coded (the word 'Behemoth' and the Elemental Circle at the upper right corner).
Black - Shadow Behemoth
Blue - Water Behemoth
Gray - Air Behemoth
Green - Swamp Behemoth
Red - Fire Behemoth
Yellow - Mountain Behemoth
In the initial information box are the general information, which is all pretty much explainable on its own.
Name - This is the name that you give your Behemoth and what you will call it. The other Behemoths do not use this name when trying to stay in contact with one another.
Title - The name that the Eldest Behemoth (in this case, Colossus) will give to all of the younger ones. This is the name to which all Behemoths must refer to one another; it is a regal title, often times having to do with their looks or their own behavior.
Gender - The gender of your Behemoth.
Summoner - This is your name. While you are more like a Kin to the Behemoth, you are referred to them by the title of Summoner. There is special reason for this.
Type - The type of Behemoth that yours is. It will be one of the six listed, or it will be a Hybrid.
Beneath the information box are the statistics. There are five bars and at birth, your Behemoth will have some of them filled while others (generally Happiness and Knowledge) will be empty. You improve these statistics with roleplaying, purchasing items, and events.
HP - These are your health points. The more you have the longer you'll be able to stand in battle. HP stats are improved only through special item purchases (which will be rare) and events.
HPN - Your Behemoth's happiness. As a child, when this becomes full, it will allow them to turn into an adult. You can improve the Happiness of your Behemoth by roleplaying, item purchases, and events. This is normally always empty at birth and you can also lose your Happiness with the lack of interaction, as well as bad things happening (like your Behemoth loses a fight.)
KNL - How much Knowledge your Behemoth retains. This is knowledge of the human world, not their own. The memories of Behemoths are actually passed down but they only inherit what retains to their species, not others. Generally this is always empty upon hatching, but in some cases, with special owner care, they may have some knowledge of the human world. You can improve this with books and scrolls, occassionally through roleplay, and events.
STR - Your Behemoth's strength. Generally the males of all breeds will have better strength. The more strength they have, the longer they can do things and they can move heavier objects. This is improved through item purchases and events, rarely ever through roleplay.
SPD - Females tend to normally have the upper hand in speed. Depending on how much speed is retained, this determines also how well of a hunter your Behemoth is because they can catch their prey faster and far more reasily. Their speed also acts as stamina and the more they have, the longer they can also run. This couples with strength so generally having an even bar total with both of them is good. This improves with events, items, and occassionally with roleplay.
