RPing Rules
These are rules for when RPing.
1. All bios must be approved before RPing. So they will be left in the sign up board until a staff member says it is accepted and moves it to the appropriate board.
2. If you start on a bio, but do not finish, please do not post it in the sign up board. It then becomes cluttered with unfinished bios. Please save it somewhere, like in a Word document. If an unfinished bio is saved in the sign up board, a staff member will copy it and send it to you, then delete the thread. They will tell you to finish it before posting.
3. There is no minimum post requirement when RPing. However, it would be nice if you added something more than, "So and so walked down the hall." Maybe describe their surroundings, their thoughts, etc. so others can have something to work with when RPing.
4. Please no god modding. This means no controlling other people's characters, killing another character without the owner's permission, making your character indestructible, or giving them ultimate power over the universe. No one likes that and you will be warned.
5. Please no Mary Sues or Gary Stus. This means making your character perfect, beautiful, and have no flaws. Like Edward Cullen. Hehe, just trying to be funny. ;D No offense to Edward lovers. Anyhow, please none of that. No one in real life is perfect and it would be just plain boring if your character is perfect.
6. There is a limit on characters. Please only one character per person. I don't want anyone to get overwhelmed with keeping track of their characters. If you want your character to have a twin or a baby, PM a staff member. Someone else could possibly have a twin who doesn't have a character yet, or someone could claim your character's child as well. If you want to control the twin or child as well as your own character, something can be arranged.
7. Please do not copy content from someone else's profile unless you are creating a twin. No one likes it.
8. Please PM me if you want a canon (a character from the book). If more than one person wants a canon, I will leave it to whoever wants to decide who gets it. If nothing is decided, a staff member will decide.
9. For whatever you decide as your character's name, please change your screen name to that and vice versa (use screen name as character name) so people don't get confused. Please have your character have a first and last name and use both names as your screen name.
10. If you want to have a magical creature as a character (ghost, etc.), please PM me to ask so we don't have a ton of those types of creatures at once.
I know a few of the things listed are listed in the sign up board and these rules may seem strict, but they are in place to allow fun for everyone. Thank you.
