Proper Fight Roleplaying
As some of you know, fights In Character break out into roleplay sometimes, or a lot of the time depending on where you position your character this little guide is to help you figure out how exactly to roleplay a fight realistically, and fairly. If following this guide, make sure that you know that you don't have to stick strictly to this guide, but it is here for reference on what would be fair in roleplay.
How and Why Wolves Fight
Wolves often only fight for dominance, or for the simple killing of anyone that stands in their way. Since TPR has packs and such, and is only semi-realistic, we also have wolves that mock fight and spar with each other. Mock fights don't often happen in the wild, but its a form of training that we have on TPR, which also allows members to become accustomed to fighting with wolves. Of course, if you don't own a pack character, you'll often not encounter mock fights, instead you'll be encountering real fights, for whatever reason. Either over territory, dominance over another, or just for a kill, or even for cannibalistic reasons.
Wolves do not often fight with their claws, as their claws are often dull from running, and would only create incisions upon scratching hard enough, or scratching at a specific area more than once. Often times it would take four to five strokes for there to be any sort of deep laceration from claws. However, the wolf's teeth is its best asset. These are often used in battle to create all sort of puncture, laceration, incision and can also result within avulsions in some cases (having a limb completely taken off).
Battling & Dodging
Battling results from striking up a fight with another wolf. Through dominance, verbal or physical actions, your wolf may very well be subjected to a fight given whom they try to upset, or control. When Battling, following site rules is always needed. Which means no powerplaying, no killing off other characters without permission, and dodging should be used wisely. However, here's a small system for those that don't know when dodging is acceptable within battle.
Usually within a fight, they're rather fast paced, so there's only a limited amount of actions that can be performed within one post. Here's the guide that I use when posting:
Reacting: Reacting to the previous persons post, by either dodging their attack or taking their attack and having the wolf react to it. Depending on what happens, it would then lead into a counterattack from my wolf.
Dodging: Usually one dodge per post is enough to keep your wolf from being too beat up, more than one is just excessive, and dodging all attacks would mean you're powerplaying, so try and keep dodging as minimal as possible. Also take into note who your opponent is, and how you can dodge them.
Attacking: Often wolves will not be able to land consecutive hits, as you'll need to
