Breeding

On DC, there will be a form that needs to be filled out in the Claims section of the site. To make sure that everything is fair, anything related to Breeding will be based on dice rolls made by the Staff member who will post their dice rolls (range = 1-100) as proof of what was rolled. There are a lot of components that will be considered to determine if a breeding is successful or not; these which will include:

• Willing:
• 95% chance of success if both partners are of opposing genders and are part of the same Kingdom or Empire and are of similar species/same grouping.
• Examples: Lion/Tiger, Zebra/Deer, Raven/Magpie, Frog/Toad

[li]90% chance of success if both partners are opposing genders and are NOT part of the same Kingdom or Empire but both are still part of a Kingdom or Empire and are of similar species/same grouping

[/li]
[li]85% chance of success if both partners are of opposing genders and only one partner is part of a Kingdom or Empire and of similar species/same grouping.[/li]
[li]70% chance of success if both partners are of opposing genders and neither partner is part of a Kingdom or Empire and are of similar species/same grouping.[/li]
[li]75% chance of success if both partners are of opposing genders and are part of the same Kingdom or Empire but are NOT similar species/same grouping.[/li]

• Examples: Lion/Horse, Dolphin/Sea Turtle, Snake/Rabbit

[li]45% chance of success if both partners are of opposing genders and only one partner is part of a Kingdom or Empire and of similar species/same grouping.[/li]
[li]40% chance of success if both partners are of opposing genders and neither partner is part of a Kingdom or Empire and are of similar species/same grouping.[/li]
[li]35% chance of success if both partners are of opposing genders and are part of the same Kingdom or Empire but are NOT similar species/same grouping.[/li]

• Examples: Lion/Horse, Dolphin/Sea Turtle, Snake/Rabbit

[li]30% chance of success if both partners are opposing genders and are NOT part of the same Kingdom or Empire but both are still part of a Kingdom or Empire and are NOT similar species/same grouping[/li]

[li]20% chance of success if both partners are of opposing genders and neither partner is part of a Kingdom or Empire and are NOT similar species/same grouping.[/li][/ul]
[li]Infertile: (Because there are many ways and reasons why some couples are infertile, this is included. Just because one states that they are infertile does not mean that do not have any chances at all.)[/li]

• If one partner is infertile, there will be an automatic 20% deduction from the success rates stated in the above categories
• If both partners are infertile, this is doubled to a 40% automatic deduction from the success rates stated in the above categories
• If a couple wishes to stop trying because of hardship, they can also try to plead for a successful breeding to either the Goddesses of Love, Life, or Peace. (Buy a breeding pass)
• Infertile couples can also adopt other babies and children if desired.

[li]Same Sex Couples: (Because of the logistics that need to be in consideration, there are only 3 ways for a Same Sex Couple to have children.)[/li]

• Have a surrogate; which will then turn into a Willing breeding attempt.
• They can also try to plead for a successful breeding to either the Goddesses of Life or Peace. Buy a breeding pass)
• Or the couple can adopt other babies and children if desired.

[/ul]

If a Breeding was successful, then the Staff will then make another series of dice rolls (range = 1-100) to determine the result of the breeding such as how many babies are to be expected, the species, any deformities, ect.

• Number of Babies:
• The range of the number of babies that a couple might have is largely impacted by the species of the parents.
• If both parents' are of a species that has multiple babies born in a single litter:
• Roll = 0-25 ~ 1 baby
• Roll = 26-50 ~ 2 babies
• Roll = 51-75 ~ 3 babies
• Roll = 76-90 ~ 4 babies
• Roll = 91-100 ~ 5 babies

[li]If one or both of the parents are a species that has only one baby born at a time; then the litter size will always be a max of two.[/li]

• Roll = 0-90 ~ 1 baby
• Roll = 91-100 ~ 2 babies

[/ul]
[li]Species of Babies:[/li]

• If RPers want the offspring to be merged (like ligers for example):
• 75% chance of success if parents are of similar species
• 25% chance of success if parents are NOT of similar species

[li]If RPers do not want offspring to be merged OR there are failed merging attempts:[/li]

• 50% chance of offspring being either the mother's species or the father's species

[/ul]
[li]Gender:[/li]

• 50% chance of offspring being either male or female (The adopter of the baby can decide freely if their new character is anything else.)

[li]Disabilities or Defects:[/li]

• If parents have no genetic mental or physical disabilities:
• Roll = 0-10 ~ Born with Major mental or physical disability
• Roll = 11-20 ~ Born with Minor mental or physical disability
• Roll = 21-100 ~ Born normally

[li]If one parent has a genetic mental or physical disability:[/li]

• Roll = 0-35 ~ Born with genetic mental or physical disability:
• Roll = 36-100 ~ Born normally

[li]If both parents have a genetic mental or physical disability:[/li]

• Roll = 0-45 ~ Born with genetic mental or physical disability
• Roll = 46-100 ~ Born normally

[/ul]
[li]Stillborn:[/li]

• Remember, if any baby does not get adopted by a member/RPer by the time the birth happens; the baby or babies will be considered stillborn.
