Because 'Cosplay' (when a Lupine is dressed up as a famous person/fictional character) is so popular, we have been trying to think up a system which will allow owners to 'claim' a character/person cosplay. That way we can avoid more than one of the same 'persona', as that can become confusing in instances such as breeding and roleplay.
Claiming is a privilege of course, and it does cost the owner. Each claim will cost 10,000pg. Please bear this in mind. You may ONLY claim people if you own them already, therefore you cannot say "I plan to get a Spiderman Lupine, so I wish to claim him". You must already OWN the Spiderman Lupine or have paid for it and are waiting for it to arrive.
When a Lupine is claimed, they cannot be made again, unless the person who claimed that idea allows you to. If you see a Lupine on the claims list that you were really hoping to make, you can PM that person and ask nicely if you can have your own version made. Once a character is claimed, they can only be RPed by that person, unless someone else gains permission for their version to be played. All versions may be bred though.
You may only claim THREE characters, no more. You may at any time give up a claim spot for a different character, but you will not be refunded and will be expected to pay another fee.
If a character was already made, and you have them made afterwards, if that character wasn't claimed by the first person, you can still claim yours, that way you will be the one who can RP and no more can be made of its character.
To claim a character, please send a PM to the account 'Lupines' with the title 'Claims'. Bear in mind this DOES take time and it is not one of the main things that we do. We do check is as often as we can - but it will not always be perfectly up to date. I'm very sorry if someone gets a custom of a character you have sent a claim in for while you are waiting - but you still WILL get the claim if you sent the claim in first which will ensure you get first choice of RP/no more will be made. Please do not contact any other team members about this - your PM's and payments won't be lost and we will get around to it ASAP.
