The Staff
Colten is the sites creator, head staff, founder and does most of the technical work. Colten, also known as JeansHowl off WolfQuest, is here to help you become active and literate role players as well as let everyone enjoy RPGing on this site and everywhere else! Since creating Ricochet was Colten's idea, he has more knowledge of what direction the site should go in however that does not mean you should leave out any other staff. It is best to contact Colten first and if unavailable, contact Joyce. Contact:{e-mail} jeansjeans54@gmail.com [WQ] JeansHowl [Ricochet] Colten
Joyce is the sites helper, co-founder and helps out with organising the site, the members as well as plans some creative ideas. Joyce is known as Beta Head on WolfQuest, and she is extremely good to talk to if you have any ideas for the pack as she can discuss it with you and the rest of the staff. Joyce is also very helpful with Character creation so if you can't make a good character, have a chat with her. Contact:[WQ] Beta Head [Ricochet] Joyce

After Joining Once you have handed in a form for Ricochet and a staff member has accepted, go ahead and register! A Staff will accept the account and you can then sign in. If you have troubles signing into the account, message a staff and they can find the problem. After you have signed in, check out the History & News area, the biographies and the Guidelines & Laws area to get a good idea of what to do and where to start. After that, post your biography in the Biographies area, then you can jump straight into role play! Since you are a new comer when you join, you will only be allowed in the Outlands. There will usually be an Elite, Dominant, Full Member, Loner(pack friend) or another New Comer there for you to chat with and get to know. The Outlands is the area that is all around the Territory and the High Tier Grounds. This area is open to you and you can have as much fun as you like here. Go hunting, exploring or just lazy around for a bit. After you have gained 30+ posts, you will then be able to perform the Ordinance which is the packs invitation for the New Comers. You will be given a mentor who will ask you the questions at the Ordinance and then help with your training for your desired rank. Once the Ordinance is complete, you Mentor will take you into the Territory to check out some of the main places and then they will take you through the 8 tasks in order for you to complete your training. Once your training is complete, you will then have your full rank and be able to work freely in the Territory... or head back over to the Outlands if you wish.
Species, Breeding, Pups, Mates etc. Since the pack is based in Russia, there are more European or Eurasian mixed wolves then anything. This is not to say that you cannot have an Arctic wolf, it is just to classify that you should try focus on these two sub-species as they are what is commonly found in Russia. There are 4 seasons like anywhere else; Autumn, Spring, Winter and Summer. Summer is the time when pups usually go through their training before Winter starts. Winter is usually when the pups are learning to become adults. Autumn is the time for breeding and breeding should only take place at this time unless otherwise stated by a Dominant in the pack. Spring is when the pups are born; they are to week to move far and are unable to see first up! After a while in Ricochet you may start allowing your character to have feelings for another members character. Mates are accepted however they should not be all lovey-dovey and cause a big scene every thread they appear on. If you have a mate, keep it PG-13 or at least child friendly. Also, if someone in the pack has a litter of pups, and you have shown you can be an active member, you may be given the chance to role play as one of the pups (counts as second character).
Are You Ready? If you have read through and understood everything, then you are ready. But before you go and hand in a joining form, make sure that you are going to be active or at least semi-active and remember to read through and understand the laws... Now head over to the Join Us area and fill out the form and we can get started with this role playing business!
