Title: The Rainbow Fox (Read Inside!)
Post by: VineStar12 on May 02, 2011, 08:07:27 pm: Introduction
This is the main topic for a new breed of fox called the Rainbow Fox. If you wish to create a character of this breed then please read all of below, create your character according to the requirements and dimensions, and post it here with the filled out form. If your character was properly put together then I will accept and you will be a member of the Rainbow Fox breed! I only ask that people fill out the form and characters here so that I can keep track of the breed. This is my first breed so if you have any advice then PM me. If you have any questions then PM me. Read on if you're still interested. Sorry, I can currently only do links to images.

This Topic ---- Main Information
1st Post ---- The Males
2nd Post ---- The Females
3rd Post ---- The Pups
4th Post ---- The Current Packs/Clans/Groups

Males
The males are the dominant gender of the breed. They are, on average, larger and stronger than the females and they do not get along with other males well unless they were friends as pups. They show their dominance to females and other males by defending their territory and fighting. Some males travel in groups when they are 1 year old and go their seperate ways eventually. They reach adulthood at the age of 3 years.

Females
The females are the non-dominant gender of the breed. They are, on average, smaller and faster than the males and they tend to travel with other females for company. They show their dominance to other females by marking and defending their own territory. If a female has pups then, usually, her friends will help with babysitting and defending the territory until the pup is old enough to hunt. The females also rely on each other, for example, they will help any other female in need. They reach adulthood at the age of 3 years.

Female Dimensions-

Pup Dimensions-
http://vinestar12.deviantart.com/art/Pup-Dimensions-207912819 (http://vinestar12.deviantart.com/art/Pup-Dimensions-207912819)

Your character's dimensions don't have to be exact to these dimensions, but please make it similar. These are average dimensions for males and females 1 year and older. Please make pups exactly to these dimensions and gradually change them as they grow.

Social
Rainbow Foxes can be very social when they choose to be. Some form groups (usually called a "clan", "pack", or "coven") that only allow its own breed and other breeds of foxes. The males will usually lose their loner traits once they join one of these groups. Sometimes Rainbow Foxes are found traveling with wolves and/or lions, since they aren't so picky about who they travel with.

Breeding
Breeding for Rainbow Foxes isn't that simple but not too complex either. The males cannot just mate with a female just to pass on his genes, thus rape can rarely occur. The female must be willing to become pregnant for pups to be born. This means that the male must establish a bond with the female before they can mate. By then the male might've fallen in love with the female and wants to be her long-term or life-long mate. Most pairs that have mated will usually be together for quite a while but eventually, about half of the pairs will seperate and move on. Males and females can mate as long as they live, thus the breed being plentiful.

But, there is a special time every year that the Rainbow Foxes (that are sexually mature) will have the sudden urge to mate. It is called The Heat. The Heat is usually around November-January. It is given this name because 70% of the female Rainbow Fox population are in such heat that they tend to be careless and let pups be born from any male they mate with. This results in pups being born but being descended from different fathers and looking quite different from its littermates whose genes are from other males. During this time, males with long-term or life-long mates defend their territory and mark it more often to keep other males from mating with his female. Then in the early spring a lot of pups are born.

Rainbow Foxes become sexually mature at 2 years and start their search for a mate. Their first choice is to find a friend from their puppy months and try to find a spark. If this does not work then they keep traveling farther and farther in search of a mate. They mate whenever they are ready after becoming sexually mature.

Homosexual and bisexual foxes are very rare for this breed. If you wish your character to be homosexual or bisexual then ask me first! There will also be NO pups born from a male & male couple or a female & female couple. They can adopt pups though.

Pups
If a male and female have bonded and mated then there is a good chance of pups being birn. If the females was willing, and fertile, then the pups should be born 2-4 months later. The average pups oer lutter is 2-5 but it isnot unusual for it to be lower or higher. When a pup isfirst born, it is born with a thin coat of full colored fur and markings it will have for the rest of its life. Pups usually start growing their manes/tufts at 6 months. When a pup is born it is blind, deaf, and cannot walk. When it is 2 weeks it can hear. At 3 weeks it can see. 1 month it can walk and trot. At 2 months the pup is running, exploring, and getting in lots of trouble. When the pup is 6 months old it will learn how to hunt and other survival skills. When it is 10 months its parent(s) will test how much they've learned. The parent(s) will then abandon the pup at 1 year.
Then it is on its own until it finds friends or a mate.

Rules
Please read the following rules:

1. Make the dimensions similar or equal to that of the gender your character will be.
2. Please do not make a character of this breed if you're not active with it.
3. If you breed your Rainbow Fox and have pups then please post them here (as long as their are part Rainbow Fox).
4. You can NOT breed your fox to any species other than a fox (which means you can breed with any type of fox, that is not part wolf, but you can't breed with any kind of wolf).
5. Please do not breed your fox to foxes that are 1/2 wolf and 1/2 fox, I want this breed to be of only the fox species.
6. You can NOT have pups until both mates are 2 years old.
7. Please don't make your fox too realistic (realistic colors allowed but please add at least 1 unnatural color).
8. If you make a character then please fill out the Form so that I can keep track of this breed.
9. If you are planning to make/have a pack/clan/group of Rainbow Foxes then PM me with info about it so that I can add it to the list!
10. Please make sure that your character follows all of the Requirements.

1. Must have toeless socks (any color).
2. Must have a WHITE tail tip.
3. Must have WHITE underfur.

Could you give me an exact age for Riki please? Anywhere under 1 year is considered a pup. Other than that, you're accepted!

Could you also give me an exact age for Ravensong? She'd have to be younger than 2 years, since she is too young to have a mate. Other than that, you're accepted! :)

There won't be an exact custom made map for this breed since some people cannot access this. No matter how many people create one, there will NEVER be an official map. (Since I'm creator of the breed, I have authority to approve or reject the official map(s). Thanks!)

Sexuality means is your fox gay (homosexual), likes both genders (bisexual), or likes only the opposite gender (heteorsexual)? By "like" i mean the gender your character would mate with. Accepted! She looks so cute!! Like a watermelon or strawberry!
