RULE BOOK

THE RULEBOOK

The general rules for the entire site

01. BE RESPECTFUL
Drama is bad, even if it's sometimes entertaining to read. If you have a serious problem with someone, please take it elsewhere and don't bring it up on the site or in the cbox. We're not going to tell you that you have to love everyone in the site, but at least be courteous to them while you're here. That said, you don't have to be all puppies and rainbows.

02. BE ACTIVE
While we don't expect you to post everyday, at least logging on occasionally shouldn't be a problem. It helps us keep track of who's active and around between activity checks. As for actually posting, we'd like once a week. That said, nobody is going to be keeping track. Just try not to keep people waiting.

03. BE ATTENTIVE
More specifically, towards your own writing, profile, and character. While we're certainly not hardcore on getting all your grammar correct, we at least expect to see correct spelling. Or at the very least good attempts. Rereading your own posts and writing is not only a good habit, but it will also help you catch mistakes.

04. BE APPROPRIATE
The board is rated pg-13. Moderate swearing and violence is fine. If you want to go really far into romantic physical contact, fade to black and take it somewhere that isn't proboards. They don't like that.

05. BE REALISTIC
Yes, this is a roleplay. It does require you to suspend disbelief, however that doesn't mean your character is invincible. This also means we strong discourage god-modding, metagaming, and similar things. And by strongly discourage we mean we'll throw you in a pit of venomous snakes, light you on fire, and chop your limbs off. Or just warn you, that works too.

06. BE CREATIVE
Not so much a rule as a suggestion. While there will be site arcs and events, you're going to have to find things to do yourself. Especially when creating your character, consider what his or her goals might be and then actively pursue them.

07. BE SOCIAL
Drop into the cbox and say "hi" sometimes. It can get pretty lonely in there.


THE GUIDELINES

more specifics for everything else

01. ACCOUNTS
We require that you have a separate account for each character you create. Your character details must be linked in your signature.

02. CHARACTERS
All characters must have face claim from an anime, manga, or game. You're allowed to have as many characters as you like so long as you can keep them all sufficiently active. As stated above, have a separate account for each character.

03. POSTING
We have no specific word count requirement, but please try and post enough that the people you're threading with have something to work off of. A good number seems to be 250. As stated above, try to keep your grammar and spelling correct. Posting templates are by no means required, though you're free to use them if you like. Liquid time is in effect, so you can be in as many threads as you can keep track of.

04. CHAT BOX
The chat box is a place of fun and happiness! Only a few rules other than what's in the rulebook: don't advertise, don't IC, and don't spam. You're free to ask questions, chat about silly things, and do whatever you people do.
