RULES- PLEASE READ!!
Basic
*Be nice, please!
*No godmodding, because nobody likes it. For those who don't know what that means, it's where you control another character's actions. If I were to post, as a cat, "The tabby cat leaped at the huge dog, that dodged the cat just in time" that would be godmodding, since that's saying what the dog is doing when he is not my character. You play as your characters only.
*English please-- nothing personal, I just can't understand anything else. Oh, and refrain from using chatspeak and try to use proper grammar within the actual roleplay. Little typos here and there are acceptable (I'm guilty of them), but don't purposely wrytt lykk diss lol.
*This board is rated R. Extreme gore is allowed, just don't overdo it. But NO GRAPHIC SEX. To realiterate no actual sex or nude touching of gentalia. Nothing you wouldn't see in a R rated movie basically. If you really want to do anymore, do it in a PM. Just not on the public boards.
*Spamming is not allowed.
*Don't flame others if you don't agree with them. You know what they say, all toasters toast toast if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
*No copying other people's work without permission be it art, or their posts. Your posts and artwork should be original.
*Read the rules before applying for characters.
*No spam, please, unless it's a random thought, which may be posted in the Random Thoughts thread.
*Don't force any pairings on people, PLEASE. I don't want any big drama starting here. Please be respectful of other peoples' opinions and realize that not everybody will like the same pairings you do.
*As I stated before, respect the opinion of others and don't flame them for it.
Characters
*Anything is fair game here. Even live action characters are allowed, video game characters, book & graphic novel characters, and anime characters (including Vocaloids). Just be wise about who you choose.
*You may have OC's but make sure that they are not Mary Sues and that you make them be consistent in their chracterzation.
*Each member is allowed a maximum of 10-15 characters. Admins and mods have the privilege of having more, but even they must have reasonable limits.
*Each character must have a separate account, which has the name of the character that account will be roleplaying as.
*Long-time members (anyone posting here for over a month consecutively) can apply for more characters with the admins' permission. You must be a steady roleplayer, and you should be able to handle the responsibility of having several characters.
*Don't claim a bajillion characters and never use them. I would prefer if you didn't have a bunch of characters but only play as one or two of them.
*If you are going to do Second Generation characters (with Canon or OC characters.) Then the mother of the child (children) will be the RPer unless the "parents" work out a system. (i.e. the fathers RPer plays the first born boy, the mothers RPer plays the first born girl ect.)
*Background characters are allowed to be claimed.
*In order to apply for a character you must, after reading these rules and the character guidelines, claim a character in your character claims folder. Once you make your claim you need to fill out an application and post it in Awaiting Approval folder and wait for me/the admins to approve it.
*Approval can take as long as a week to only an hour. Don't PM me or the admins about approving them, or bug us repeatedly about it. If it's taken a while, don't worry, we haven't forgotten about you. If I have a problem with the app, I'll PM you.
*There's no wait time on claiming characters, and you are allowed to post multiple apps, but please be responsible about it.
Play
*Do NOT play as a character who hasn't been approved. Doing so will get you suspended.
*Make your posts longer than shorter. Give people something to work with! NO ONE LINE POSTS!!! At least five lines to a paragraph for each post.
*If you start a new thread, please consult the timeline and tell me what date it is set on at the top of the post.
*Dropped characters can be claimed by another player-- but said player has to stick with the continuities that the previous player has established.
*Try not to make threads go unbelievably fast, since nobody likes catching up with ten pages of posts and not everyone can be online at every hour of the day.
*You can have two or more characters of yours interact in the same post, but don't gratuitously RP with yourself, it starts to get annoying after a while.
Other
*Don't join, claim a character, post a few times, then disappear. TELL ME if you're going to leave this board. Don't worry, I won't be offended.
*Signatures and banners should be at the maximum 200 pixels high, though I'm pretty lenient about this. Just don't make them ridiculously long or huge, and we should be okay.
