| In order for you - and everyone else - to fully enjoy this forum, there are certain rules which we must all abide by.
GENERAL
- Please be courteous and respectful towards the other Role-Players. Any OOC hate speech, slander, etc. will be censored out of posts by the admins.
- Cursing is allowed, but use it in moderation in OOC posts.
- OOC posts in the Role-Playing threads must be enclosed in either double parentheses { ((...)) } or double brackets
{ [[...]] } so that other RPers know that you are speaking and not the character.
CHARACTER CREATION
- To post your characters, Create a Topic that says "[your username]'s Characters" and post the completed application there.
- Any and all characters must be Accepted by an administrator before the user may RP with him/her.
- There is a limit of seven characters per user.
- On the character application, anything with an asterisk { * } next to it requires at least four sentences of elaboration. More than four is wonderful, but an entire paragraph is the bare minimum.
- Once your character is Accepted, the admin who accepted him/her will assign him/her a Colour Code that corresponds with the chosen element (or lack thereof), which will be the colour that the character role-plays in. (For example,
- Code:
-
[color=#99CCFF]"This is the colour you will use."[/color] makes "This is the colour you will use.".
- Once a member has reached 100 posts, he/she may make an Ancient Character (see THE CONTINENT - Hiteria for a description of what these are).
NO MARY-SUES. I cannot explain my utter hate for Mary-Sues. (For those of you who don't know, Mary-Sues are characters who have unlimited power, are pretty and popular, etc. They're picture perfect, unrealistic, and no fun to RP with.) ***Keep in mind that this is an Anime Role-Play. Therefore, your characters are allowed to have odd hair and/or eye colours that aren't found in nature.ROLE-PLAY- This is a literate role-play. That means that your posts should be written as if you are writing a book. Therefore, THIS
- Spoiler:
"It's time to go," she called to her brother as she slipped her feet into her black shoes, shouldering her leather school bag. is acceptable while THIS
- Spoiler:
It's time to go. *puts on her shoes and grabs her backpack* is not.
- If you are starting the topic, you should write a few paragraphs to introduce the setting, time, and what your character is doing/thinking/feeling. When responding to a topic, you should reply with what your character is doing/thinking/feeling, along with a bit of dialogue (if the character isn't mute or something). No one-liners are allowed.
- Do not start forum wars unless it is a role-play event. If one such event is going on, it will be posted right below the page title.
- No godmod/power play. Power Play is when you control another person's character without their consent:
- Spoiler:
Mike punched Lizzy in the face, breaking her nose and sending her flying halfway across the room. Instead, post like this: - Spoiler:
Mike aimed a glancing punch at Lizzy's face, hoping to break her nose with the force behind the blow. Godmodding is when your character can do anything and/or is invincible/impervious to attacks: - Spoiler:
Lizzy ducked away from Mike's fist, easily dodging the next twenty attacks before kicking out his legs and pinning him to the floor.
- Spoiler:
Mike's fist connected with Lizzy's face, but it did absolutely nothing. No matter how hard Mike tried, he couldn't injure her at all. (I don't think I need to point out the obvious Godmodding in both of these examples.) You can see why these aren't acceptable, nor are they fun for both parties. So no Godmod/Power Play.
That is all I can think of, for now. If I think of any more, I'll add them. | |
