- No Godmoding. This means that your character cannot control other characters or know things automatically. You cannot kill another character without the player's explicit permission.
- No Powerplaying. This means that your character cannot be invincible during a fight. They cannot dodge every move and be accurate with every punch, kick, or throw. Be realistic.
- Also be realistic about a character's position and power. Although godmodding is not allowed, your character cannot taunt a character simply because you think there will be no reprocussions. If you do this, there WILL be consequences and the taunted character has full permission to put your character in their proper place.
- That said, a character in or with power cannot pick a fight with someone just in order to tear them down. The consequences rule only applies when a character blatantly disrespects a character in a powerful position.
- Please roleplay in past tense and third person.
- Please make each post a minimum of 150 words. There is a word count installed on the site so you don't have to worry about having to count your words as you go or using microsoft word.
- Please check for grammar errors and use spell check. Nobody is perfect, but we'd like to understand what you're trying say in your post. Also, do not use chatspeak in your post.
- There is a seven-eight character limit for each player. There will be opportunities to win more slots.
- This application is very short and very straight forward. If it sits there unfinished for seven days, we will assume that you've lost muse for the character or won't be joining our site.
- You are allowed to sign up with any account name when you first join, but after you're accepted you must change your display name to the first and last name of your character {middle name is optional}, please make sure the name is in caps!
- For your character's face please use real life models or celebrities (cosplayers DO count), not drawings or anime pictures. Also, please do not use yourself. For their animal forms also please use real photos, we don't want paintings or drawing or animations of any sort.
- Please use the template we have provided for you in the application section. If you do not use this template, you will not be accepted. You may add to the offered application, but please do not make it any shorter than it is.
- Be creative. We don't want a million Barbie and Ken clones running around on here, and we don't want a bunch of "emo" kids, either. Try to make your character different and unique. On that note, no Mary-Gary Sues. As in, do not make your character perfect.
- For signatures, please don't make them wider than 500 px and no taller than 400 px. We don't want to stretch the board. You are permitted to have icons that are either 100 x 100 px or 100 x 150 pixels.
- No out of character drama. We all have real life drama. I don't know about you but most of us come here to have fun. I do not have the patience for petty arguments. Highlight the space between the title of this thread and the very first rule in order to find the codeword.
- Be respectful to everyone on this site. If you have a problem with somebody, then PM the admin. Do NOT start a fight in the cbox or in a public thread. This will make us look bad to those who might consider joining the site, and it causes stress for members.
- If things get out of hand, you will be temporarily banned. If you continue to misbehave, you will be permanently banned . 3 strikes and you're out. {There may be some exceptions. if what you've done is bad enough, you may get only one warning.}
- Don't steal anybody else's characters or ideas. If you do, we'll ban you and report you to the proboards administration for plagiarism so you won't be able to join any other proboards forums.
- Pregnancy MUST be approved by both players involved (the "father" and "mother") as well as BOTH admins. Keep in mind that if you choose to make your character pregnant, you will have to EXPLAIN to the admins how you plan to raise and protect a baby in the harsh island environment in order to get approval.
- There are no medical supplies on the island. Be realistic if your character chooses not to seek the witch's help-- infection is very possible during and after birth. Male pregnancies require c-section-- to have a "safe" birth they will have to seek Lilith's help and make a payment to him.
- Cross-breeding isn't allowed. Shifters cannot get humans pregnant and vice versa. Therefore, no character can ever be a "halfbreed". The closest thing you can get are the experiments which are limited in number. See more about them in the "fact sheet" topic.
- Please deal with sensitive subjects that may arise in a character's history or direct rp such as rape in a very concious manner. Some people are touchy about this, and there are subjects that need to be treated with respect, not as a cheap plot device ploy.
- You may choose to have your character killed off, just alert the admins and let us know.
- And the last but most important rule....HAVE FUN!!
