1. Read The Vampire Rules or The Werewolf Rules they explain what kills, hurts and how the races are. If your character goes outside of those types then it will not be approved or it will get a warning to your account.
2. Swearing is allowed but be realistic. If you don't swear like that in real life then don't make your character swear like it. We don't all need to see hell and donkeys and mother-bleepies everywhere.
3. Absolutely no God-Modding. If I see this done you will get a warning (everyone can see warnings you've gotten).
4. When you are posting In-Character, use proper symbols and typing. No *, or ~, or + signs are allowed. Do people talk like that? No. Then should you RP like that? No.
5. Do not RP or post anywhere but the Character Profiles board until you are accepted. I will delete it and send you a warning if it happens at least three times. Only staff members have the power to approve profiles. The staff is listed in the Welcome Box on the main page. Don't rush your profile either. Take your time since a rushed and five minute profile won't get approved.
6. If you feel the need to argue with another member, alright. But please, keep it to PM's. I don't want to see a bunch of Out-Of-Character nonsense going on. If your character happens to be fighting with someone, go you. That is perfectly fine, but keep it realistic.
7. Realistic, realistic, realistic. You have no idea the wonders of some peoples' minds. Their characters can get pregnant, have an affair, get an abortion, set their hair on fire, fall in love and break up, but NOT all in the same day. Also, no falling in love five post after your character meets someone. Does that happen in real life? No. Your character can get a crush but please wait at least a week or two in RP time with the character before saying it's love. Crushes come and go all the time.
8. Make your character real. I hate Mary-Sues/Gary-Stus. They are annoying, and unrealistic. You won't be accepted if you try to apply with one, so please, give your character some flaws!
9. I don't care how many characters you want to have, as long as you are able to manage them. But still, three characters per account. If you wish to have more characters make another account. You still, however, must wait until your character is accepted to role-play.
10. Do not carry on Out-of-Character (OOC) conversations in RP areas. If you feel it is absolutely necessary to make an OOC comment, do it with ((this)).
11. I hate when people don't read the rules, so please to prove you read the rules b putting these at the bottom of your profile:
12.Please change your display name to your character's first and last name. You can do this in your account's profile.
13.Please try to keep things UNDER PG in the RPs. If a thread has mature content, it will be deleted. No warning, nothing; it will just be deleted. Anything over PG will end up with the people RPing most likely getting banned from the site or their account disabled.
Also, DO NOT RP Mature content (sexual RPs, detailed torture scenes, or anything like that) outside of the Mature content section. You will get a warning for this if not get your account disabled.
Only certain people have the password. I have a list of all who can post in the board and if anyone but them are posting in the Mature Content board, then the person who does post will get their account disabled for two days.
If you don't have the password DO NOT role-play it on a normal board for others to see. Please do not role-play it in PM's either. If you would like to you can request for the password to be given to you. But to get iT you must prove that you can handle role-playing such things.
14. This is a Semi-Literate and up role-play. I know nobody is perfect with spelling and grammar but there is a spell check button, please use it if you aren't sure of the spelling of a word.
15. Fire, blood loss, drug OD and beheading kills all. I don't care what your character is, but these things will kill it. Same goes for getting hit in the heart or lungs. Unless its a vampire... read The Vampire Rules for more information.
16. Try to keep your character in only one place at once, please. So your character can only be in one RP thread at a time. However if you are usually an active member, you can be in up to three threads at a time.
17. No one liners please. This isn't really a rule, more of a suggestion. But please try to not use one liners. Include thoughts, actions, describe where the characters are or things they notice. Remember, it makes it easier for others to reply to a post if it had enough information to make a strong reply from.
18. Our moderators and admins will never ask for your password or other personal information, as any website will tell you. If someone claims to be of authority on the site and tries to get you to tell them something fishy then please contact the site creator.
19. The most important rule of all: have fun!
