Avarice is set roughly in the mid-1300's, during the Middle Ages. This must be kept in mind while in character as there are many things that haven't happened or been invented yet. The characters here are wolves who can shift into humans, not the other way around, and all but the Eastern packs have trouble retaining their human form for extended periods of time - this means too that some things humans use or need are not present here in Ilisthmira.
- Technology is very limited, and since humans have been gone for a long time there are many things that were never invented. Primitive clocks, eyeglasses, and compasses were used by this time in history, but keep in mind "what use would a wolf have for a compass?"
- Some weapons are allowed, such as knives and swords, but no guns. Try not to make them too much of a focus either. They are wolves with powers; you shouldn't have to give your character a weapon.
- Drugs and alcohol are allowed, as long as it doesn't get out of hand.
- You are given some freedom in choosing clothing; modern styles and clothes are allowed.
- Even though not everyone can read, the Silvers and Cloudhoppers have extensive libraries filled with books both ancient and new. As the oldest and most intelligent of the packs, they have been able to translate many human writings into the common language, but the wolves that are able to understand the original writings are few and far between.
If you are ever in doubt of what is or is not allowed, remember the date and try to imagine (or look up) what the world was like back then. Ask a staff member if you have any questions.
