what is Wild Reign?
Wild Reign is a mature, active community bound by common interests of art, roleplaying, and writing with animals as the main characters.
The goal of the forum is to serve as a platform for the members' creativity and social interactions.
At Wild Reign, member experience is priority. We strive to create a friendly, fun and supportive environment within which members can feel safe developing and expressing their creativity in both visual art and writing, as well as meeting like-minded people.
At Wild Reign, every member has a voice, and every member is welcomed like family by staff and other members alike.

what kind of roleplay goes on at Wild Reign?
Wild Reign is a beginner to advanced roleplay. We accept all levels of roleplayers, from someone who hasn't ever roleplayed to those that have spent years doing it. We have a training grounds for those that don't have much experience or want to learn to better your posts. But as long as you can write at least 8 sentences you are welcome! Though most members write several paragraphs.
As for the actual roleplaying theme, Wild Reign is an animal, primarily wolf/canine, site. Most members play wolves, wild dogs or some form of Canines, though you are welcome to play any species you wish, including humans. The forum is based in the aftermath of the Ice Age, before other civilizations. Humans live in villages, both nomadic and permanent, have sleds and sled dogs, can make basic cages, jewelry and some small amounts of armor.
There are several different packs in the Wild Reign universe, each with their own different theme, belief system and rankings. They are all separated but connected in the forum, allowing packs to coexist, or try to, with each other and interact with the world around them. Leaders are allowed to make plots for their packs individually, and plot with other leaders to create new and interesting roleplay possibilities. You can also request your own private plots with other members both in and out of your pack, whatever risks there may be, and are encouraged to use your creativity in these situations.
But, you aren't required to join a pack, you can always keep your character as a loner in one of our many neutral territories, and plot with other loners.
Unlike most roleplay forums, Wild Reign has an "open-plot" forum, which means there is no set plotline that the entire forum has to follow, to save from copying, or the forum dying when the story is over. Members are allowed to plot with other members and do as they wish, and packs often make pack plots or leaders will make plans with each other for pack battles, alliances and etc. We prefer to let the members drive the decisions regarding their characters and the roleplay environment themselves.
Occasionally the staff creates a forum-wide plot to boost activity and throw some randomness into the everyday going. Currently we do have a forum-wide plot enacted, a volcano has erupted in Wild Reign.

what sets Wild Reign apart?
Wild Reign, while keeping up with it's semi-realistic tag, is pretty lax and allows members to take several liberties in creating and playing their characters. Creativity is always welcome, and as long as your character isn't too far out of our genre, we are willing to allow you to have a chance playing them.

Other fun features!
;;characters
There is no limit on the number of characters you can create. You can have a character or two in each pack, a wolf, four birds and a hippo, and who knows what else. We do have sizing standards on the forum (as obviously we don't need 7 foot tall kittens running around), and we will make you keep to them, there is rarely an exception, and if there is, it would would be a handful of inches. Wild Reign does not hinder your choice in color of your character, and depending on the accessory, will not stop you from having those as well.
Members can also create characters or designs for others to adopt, this is quite common, and we even have some 'special' characters available for adoption right now.
;;packs
There are several different packs on Wild Reign, each with their own theme. Just to name one, a medieval pack with Knights, and a Sovereign King. Packs are fun, welcoming and compared to most roleplay sites, they are incredibly individual.
Currently we cut a bunch of packs from Wild Reign, and will be allowing members to submit ideas for their own packs!
;;pack colors and secret boards
As a fun bonus for pack leaders and members, when a character joins a pack, they are accepted into that pack's member group, they may receive a pretty colored name, and if the pack has hidden boards they gain access to those. It's a fun way to plot with your pack members, and maybe give the rest of the forum a super surprise!
;;kay characters
How many of you know that our forum admin and creator is Kay Fedewa?! For those of you that aren't sure who that is, that is the creator of "The Blackblood Alliance" graphic novel/comic. After gaining permission, Kay allowed us to place up her characters from the comic (like Swiftkill and Rapier) to be adopted and roleplayed by members on the forum! All you have to do is send in a tryout and have the best tryout!
;;alternate universe
Because every now and then we don't always want to play the same boring thing over and over, Wild Reign has an alternative universe, that being separate from the actual roleplay realm. Here you create a character, and can post in any of the many different AU boards (Supernatural, Space, Wild West and more) for a chance to go all out. You want to play a dragon here? Have at it! It's kind of a fun way for members to unwind and play around with other genres they like without having to search the world wide web for a site they can join to do so.
