The Rules:
1. Semi-Literate: Misspellings, Improper Grammar, Etc. is ok, as long as it makes sense.
2. No Spamming!: If you want to create or join a bunch of roleplay threads that is perfectly fine. However do not post the same thing over and over again and specifically this goes for advertising posts.
3. Be Respectful: In character it is fine to fight physically and be mean to other people's characters while roleplaying in threads and in the In-Character CBOX. HOWEVER, out of character threats, insults and slander is not allowed. If someone sends you a message like this, forward the message to me and I will take care of it.
4. Proboards TOS: Because proboards is our forum provider we have to follow their terms of service which requires us to have strictly PG-13 content.
5. God Modding: I realize that some characters are going to be immortal here, however all supernatural creatures have some sort of weakness. Unless you want your character to die it is okay to keep them from being killed off but they have to be able to be injured if they fight with other characters. Also, the other definition of god modding is moving another person's character around or having them say something without some kind of magical/supernatural influence. This is also not allowed. If your character has magic or some kind of mind control type ability than it's ok for that to happen but the other person has to roleplay their character saying or doing whatever it is in their own post.
6. Character Limits: Currently I am not putting a ban on how many characters a person can have but I do require you to roleplay in at least one thread with a character before making a new one. Also, if you start getting too many characters and can not keep them all fairly active I may have to restrict certain people on making new characters.
7. Application: Let us get to know your character, and what exactly they are. Also, change your display name to your character's full name. If they have a nickname you can put it in their signature or on their image or just introduce your character with the nickname. Do not post until you're application has been accepted or a staff member has given you permission. Also, please use the template as the information there is important for other roleplayers and can help you to remember your character's information for roleplay purposes. Also, proboards only goes to about 1900 as far as birthdates go, so use the birth year that is about the age your character looks instead of the year they were supposed to be born if your character looks a different age than what they are. There true age will be put on their mini-profile by a staff member when they accept your application.
8. The Face Claim: It is not required to claim a celeb or face if you choose not to use one. However, if you do want to use one for your signature or icon, please claim it in the "Face Claim" Board, and do not use a celeb/picture that has already been claimed.
Finally...
Rules are made to keep the peace, So we can all just roleplay and have fun. Follow the rules, and everything will be alright! So thanks for joining, and let's all just get along and have some fun!
