1]This is an ADVANCED ROLEPLAY, that means we expect no simple two liners. DETAILS ARE A MUST. It is best to have NO LESS THAN A FOUR LINE POST during roleplay.
2]Don't be afraid to share your opinion. We have a suggestion topic where complaints, questions, and suggestions can all be placed and I expect honesty from everyone. Let's not get off on a bad foot. Let's let everyone know how we feel from the get go and if that is different from someone else's opinion we don't need to preach to one another our beliefs we can be calm and diverse about who we are. I believe in shared opinions and diversity tolerance.
3] Follow all the rules, including the general rules.
4] Anything the mods say also counts as a rule that you have to follow.
5] Do not start roleplaying until the mods approve your character.
6] All Faceclaims must be actual face claims, no unknown face claims AT ALL!!!!! No exceptions!!! UNLESS you are able to provide three pics of the exact same person, no obscure similarities they must be the exact same person.
7] Please follow the format set up for your characters' profiles. NO PERSONAL CHARACTER are ALLOWED.
8] No God-Modding!!! This is when you claim control of another persons character. It happens most often during fight scenes but it should not be seen ever at any point. (E.G.)(view spoiler)[ God-Modding Not Accepted!!! Roleplayer 1: Hans raced toward Alisha with full force prepared to attack with everything he had swinging his blade at her hitting her right arm just below her shoulder.
Roleplayer 2: Alisha slid sideways dodging his attack completely. Hans then was stabbed in the guy with her dagger forcing him to tumble down to hsi knees as he bled out.
Acceptable!!! Fair Fight..take the hits dished out, but don't kill one another without permission from the one you are killing. Roleplayer 1: Hans raced toward Alisha with full force prepared to attack with everything he had swinging his blade at her hard.
Roleplayer 2: Alisha slid sideways in attempt at dodging his attack completely, but the the warm crimson bubbled from her fresh cut on her right arm before she realized it. Alisha tossed her dagger to Hans center.
Roleplayer 1: Hans felt the blade sprout from his gut and fell to his knees. He was too slow to avoid the hit. "How could you." He said before passing out from the shock of seeing his own blood. (hide spoiler)]
9] These rules may be added to or changed, so please check them every now and then.
10] BE ACTIVE. If you are inactive, your character or position will either be deleted or given to somebody else. If you are going on vacation or have another valid reason for absence, please let the mods know beforehand. We expect everyone to be active at least two days each week without notification of absence.
11] Please use proper grammar to the best of your ability. This is actually very important, because otherwise in the roleplay it can be hard to differentiate between what the character is saying and doing. Do not forget to use quotation marks when the character is talking.
12] When you say something other than in the RP aka OC (Out-Of-Character Chat), say it in brackets [Out of character talk] or ((Use double Parentheses)) or (view spoiler)[use a spoiler (hide spoiler)].
13] When moving from one topic to another do so in this format: {End Scene} [Moving to ______]
14] Do not write extremely long paragraphs without giving another person a chance to participate in between, especially in battles. Long detailed post are allowed, but leave reaction room.
14.5] You are probably tired of reading all of these rules but it is appreciated that you are taking the time to do so. Not really a rule, but a thank you.
15] You do not have to ask the person for your character to have a crush on that person's character, but it's better if you do. A crush isn't a relationship. People crush all the time without another's consent, just ensure that you have a plausible way on how the person is crushing and how they know the person. Normally crushes are from afar that way you don't have to ask permission to know the said person your character is crushing on. Note it will be looked for in history should you state your character holds a crush.
16] You do have to ask to be in a relationship with someone's character. It makes no sense to be the boyfriend of someone and no one know how it happened or if the girlfriend even knows her boyfriend. That seems a bit creepy and should be avoided at all times.
17] If you have questions, post in the questions topic. The mods will try to answer as soon as possible.
18] Do not make all girls, because we will end up with too many girls. If you make three characters, try to make at least one boy. After your third character and you do not have any boys should you attempt a fourth it will not become approved until a boy has been made.
19] Repeated breaking of rules even after being warned will result in being deleted from the group.
20] When you are talking with only one character in an area, you should not skip any lines; if you are talking with more than one character in the same area, then you must separate lines by skipping a line after the action and text of the first character, then starting the same thing for the next character. [Note: this only applies if both characters are interacting with the same character(s); if they are in the same topic, but different areas of the topic, they must be posted in different comments.](Note that two different rps in one topic is rude and should not take place at all unless provided with the okay of those there before you. This is why we note when the scene has ended so others may know if the topic is open or closed to rp.
21] More than two people can be posting in a single topic, ONLY if they are all interacting with one another and everyone is in mutual agreement to have more than two people.
22] You cannot declare your character(s) to know someone without permission from the other person(s). (e.g.) Bf, Gf, Brother, Sister, other relatives...etc... Note that crushes must be known to an extent of which knowledge of their existence is available.
23] You cannot declare your character(s) to share history or a background with another character(s) without permission from the other person(s), Unless related. If related to the person the history must be connected, but no relation can be created without a mutual agreement on both sides.
25] You cannot make another person(s) notice something; you have to let them notice it themselves.
26] You CANNOT say where a character(s) got hit, nor how they took damage (E.g.: you cannot say that their head exploded from being struck by a Lightning bolt, they became crippled, they lost a limb, etc...)
27] Your character MUST take damage at some point during fights. Even Immortals get hurt.
28] Stay true to your character. Do not say that a timid character jumped into a conversation to introduce themselves and tell a few jokes before returning to their corner...I'm sorry TIMID does not display that anywhere...maybe eccentric.
29] Always be polite and respectful.
30] There may be exceptions to some of these rules, but first please ask in the Questions topic.
31] All characters must be approved by a MoD, so please be patient until we are able to get to you. If it's been a while then please feel free to message us, just don't become an annoyance people tend to be slower when messages blow up on goodreads. Also, there is no limit on the amount of characters you can create, but don't make more than you can handle.
