| Marosia has a family system that is an integral part of the game. Characters that are at least 18 years old have the ability to have children and begin families. This guide has been made to answer certain questions that someone interested in this system may have. | Marosia has a family system that is an integral part of the game.

| Once a character is 20 years old, they will be begin to see a "mate" button on the character card of other characters of the same race who are also 20 or older and of the opposite sex. In Marosia the lore states that any act of passion can create a child, and though the term "pregnancy" is used in this guide, Marosian birth is not like childbirth in real life. For all intents and purposes childbirth is magic in Marosia, and characters do <b>not</b> need to engage in sexual intercourse in order to create a child. | Once a character is 20 years old, they will begin to see a "mate" button on the character card of other characters of the same race who are also 20 or older.

| When you press the mate button you can roleplay the mating process in just about any way you want, and if you're feeling particularly creative you can integrate the way child of your character's race arrive into the world in the process. | When you press the mate button two options will pop up, both of which will determine who ‘carries’ the child. By pressing “They bear the child”, the other character will be the one to become pregnant and vice versa. You can roleplay the mating process in just about any way you want, and if you're feeling particularly creative you can integrate the way child of your character's race arrive into the world in the process. |

| Lastly, although sexual intercourse is not a requirement to create a child in Marosia, if a character engages in excessive ERP (Sexual Roleplay, referenced as Adult in the rules), there is a script in place that could potentially initiate a pregnancy and cause a child to be created despite the mate button not having been pressed. While a character needs to be at least 20 years old to mechanically mate, a character only needs to be 18 to create a child through ERP. | Pressing the mate button is not the only way to bring a child into the world. In-game, you have the alternative option of turning to deities and <I>attempting</i> to earn their favour. Earning god favour is an avenue you can take if you are not able to meet the mating criteria or if there is another in-character reason for doing so. Earning god favour is not a guarantee, similar to using the mating mechanic. Even in the face of god favours, children will always spawn as stated above unless stated otherwise. |

| After a character has mated, there is a dice roll behind the scenes. If the roll is successful, the mechanically female character will become pregnant and will begin to start "expecting life". | After a character has mated, there is a dice roll behind the scenes. If the roll is successful, the character that will bear the child will become 'pregnant' and will begin to start "sensing the possibility of life" within 36 hours of successfully mating. |
| </p> | </p> |
| <p> | <p> |
| Note: Due to god events it is possible for a mechanically male character to end up expecting life, however a successful pregnancy caused by pressing the mate button will only cause a mechanically female character to expect life. | Note: Pregnancy in the terms of a growing stomach does <b>not</b> exist within Marosia. The bearer may exhibit symptoms like nausea, cravings or things related to their race spawn i.e. a folk digging for clay senselessly. |

| In Marosia a pregnancy will last a random amount of time between 3-6 days. The pregnant character will get a message alerting them that they are expecting life a quarter into the pregnancy. Along with the message telling them that they're expecting life, there will be a timer telling them how long until the kids will arrive. The kids will arrive at the beginning of the hour regardless of what time the character mated. | In Marosia the gestation of a child/ren will last a random amount of time between 3-6 days. The bearer will see a pink message at the top of their UI with a countdown should they begin to 'sense the possibility of life'. The child/ren will arrive at the beginning of the hour regardless of what time the character mated. |

| During the pregnancy, feel free to roleplay out the experience, be creative and take full advantage of the tools at your disposal. What "expecting life" means can be interpreted in many different ways, and it's up to the player to come up with their own unique way to roleplay it in game. | At the time of conception, the game determines how many children the character will have, though this information is hidden until the actual arrival. If there are too few players in the queue for the number of children a character is going to have, an announcement will be made in-game letting eligible people know that there is a demand for child characters of that race. |

If there are too few players in the queue for the number of children a character is going to have, an announcement will be made ingame letting eligible people know that there is a demand for child characters of that race.

This is due to the fact that a pregnancy is considered an ongoing event. | |

If the formerly pregnant character is inside of a vehicle and there's space in the vehicle, the kid(s) will arrive in the vehicle. If the formerly pregnant character is on the road traveling, the kid(s) will arrive on the road with them. Long story short the kid(s) will arrive wherever the formerly pregnant character is. The kid(s) will inherit an average of their parents' skills, but not their attributes. If the kid(s) has one magic parent then they have a 50% chance at inheriting magic, if the kid(s) has two magic parents then they have a 100% chance at inheriting magic, and if neither parent has magic they have a 10% chance of having magic. Inbred characters will have one of their skills and one of their attributes permanently capped at level one, and regardless of whether their parents have magic or not, they will always have a 10% chance of having magic themselves. | Once the timer runs down and the awaited hour arrives, the child/ren will spawn.

| Once the child is born, the formerly pregnant character will be their guardian, and will be able to move them wherever and whenever they please along with being able to turn them around on the road when traveling.

Keep in mind that after they assign guardian status they cannot remove it from whoever they gave it to or give it to anyone else, and if the formerly pregnant character dies without setting up an additional guardian then the child will be mechanically guardianless permanently. | Once the child has arrived, the formerly bearing character will be their guardian and will be able to move them wherever and whenever they please along with being able to turn them around on the road when travelling.
