Animals in Gantz

• In order to be an animal a forum member must have at least participated in 1 mission from any project prior to attempting to make one.
  
  
• There is a limit of 2 animals in each Role-Play. Mods are alloted a free mascot animal that does not effect this limit.
  
  
• Only primates can use gantz weaponry. If not of the primate species they cannot use weapons, but can hold them for others by via mouth, claws or talons.
  
  
• The available animals for use are Canines (wolves & dogs), Felines (cats, tigers, cheetahs, lions etc etc),Bears (panda, polar bear etc etc), Birds (Crows, chickens, eagles, hawks, ravens etc etc...), Primates (chimps, gorillas, monkeys etc etc...), Horses.
  
  
• Amphibians, reptiles, bugs, elephants, hippos, rhinos, giraffes, microscopic organisms, fish and extinct animals will not be allowed for role play.
  
  
• Their suits are made to cover their torso rather than their paws, claws, wings, tails & talons; for these are their weapons.
  
  
• Attacks by animals not wearing a suit will depend on the type of animal issuing the attack. A bear may be strong enough to inflict an attack that lowers suit health, but an animal such as a cat, cannot do this without a suit.
  
  
• Attacks by large animals wearing a suit do the same amount of damage as a X-gun or X-rifle and bites & scratches penetrate as would a katana. Smaller animals can only inflict a max of half damage of an X-gun/rifle shot.
  
  
• With the suit most animals can jump and run faster then the average gantzer who is wearing one as well. Allowing them higher chances of dodging an attack done by a human or alien. If both are not wearing a suit the animal will still be faster and able to jump higher. If a human is wearing a suit and an animal is not then the human will be faster and able to jump higher. The speed and reflexes of an animal wearing a suit should reflect the difference between what the speed/reflex difference is between the animal and human without wearing a suit.
  
  
• Regardless of wearing a suit Animals will be able to navigate without use of a controller and are aware of their surroundings and sense danger. Not as effective as stealth w/ a controller, but decent enough, Animals will usually be avoided by aliens unless provoked. Animals can also smell and sense those who are nearby and attempting to use stealth.
  
  
• The option of gantz allowing animals to talk is optional, but they are always allowed to have thoughts.
  
  
• Animals cannot be turned into vampires.
  
  
• There is a 3 animal limit per project.
