Humans

Humans are smarter than your average animal. Because of this, I suppose they have to have a few special rules.

First off, humans can not talk to animals. Animals can talk to each other, but likewise not to humans. Not without divine intervention, anyway. The ones that do get permission to talk to animals can choose to join any group of animals, they don't have to stick with humans.

However, humans can be stolen from their settlements and bred by other animals, so they aren't that special.

Humans may capture or steal an animal and train it. It's all role played out, though, and the other player doesn't necessarily have to obey your orders, just like in real life. You have to actually train them, you can't just jump on a horse's back and expect it to carry you across the Isle all happy-go-lucky.

Because normally humans and animals can't talk to each other, if stolen by either they likewise do not ask for their freedom. Animals can not escape by themselves from a human. Though an unarmed human can't fight off an animal to get away either. After two days, human's animals may be stolen or fought for (if the animal can get around any enclosure the humans have erected to get to the animal they're fighting for or stealing, of course). Likewise, a human may be stolen or fought for by another after two days are up.

Now, about how humans come to the Isle. Modern humans are shipwrecked or carried out to sea in some way to reach Wild Life Isle. They may carry with them only a few items, such as a broken clock or the clothes on their back or maybe a small pocketknife. They must then live off the land. There is no making ships to sail away and no rescue, no matter how they may try.

Humans can carry with them any knowledge they want, so I suggest you reasearch stone age humans and how they surived and still do today. Stone age meaning you don't have metal, you have stone. Flint knives, grass huts, simple bows and arrows, run around naked or in hides and the like, you get the picture.

Basically, it's just humans can't talk. Consider them the exact same as animals otherwise. 

 

While I'm at it, I'm going to tell you that there is no such thing as a white Siberan tiger. All white tigers are Bengals or crossbreeds. Black panthers are either black jaguars or leopards. There IS more than one species and race or breed of wolf. Pure Arabians can't come in palomino or dun. You'll have to watch me, cause I do know about horse and small cat genetics and I might just jump into your character posts and suggest a realistic color for your babies.

Yes, so anyway, there's lots of information on animals. Be realistic, even with your crossbreeds. You can suspend some habits, like tigers living with lions, but you should continue to play by the animal's basic nature.
