RULES
1. There is not limit to the number of characters a person can have. However, you must make a new account for every character. There cannot be two characters per account unless due to special circumstances. Also, when applying for your character, be sure to have your display name as your character's full name, first, middle, and last name. The only exception are gods, angels, and demons.
2. No Mary Sues. No character is perfect. Not even God. So don't even try.
3. No god-modding. Your character is not all powerful or all knowing. We're not allowing anyone to play a Higher Power so your character should not be unstoppable. If they seem to become consistently powerful without just cause (such as the approved Ultimate Evil of the plot) then your character will be suspended after three warnings.
4. No harrassment, racial comments, hate speech, or any other offensive comments on the C-box or in the RP. If you feel like you're being harrassed in the above manners by someone, including via pm, then please contact a staff member immediately so we can sort things out.
5. Respect both the staff and other members.
6. Mature Themes. This site will deal with mature themes such as drugs, sex, violence, ect. Therefore this site is PG-13. We ask that if you are posting a sex thread to please fade to black or not be graphic. We also ask that the thread have (Mature) in it to prevent any accidental reading.
7. Activity is Great! We know that everyone has a life outside of roleplaying. It's just a fact. However, we do ask that people stay active. Being active means two posts per week. Being inactive would be no posts within a month. We will have monthly activity checks to make sure activity is up.
Any member who joins and does not make an app will be deleted. Any member who joins, makes an app, and does not post will have their character archieved and have to try again.
8. Away and Goodbye. We have an away thread. If you'll be gone for more than a week please post in the away thread. If you will be leaving us for good, we have a goodbye thread where you can put your parting words.
9. Continuity. Your character is allowed to be in more than one thread at the same time. However we ask that you keep in mind with continuity. If your character is in Florida on July 3rd, then they cannot be in San Jose on July 3rd. See what we're getting at?
10. Realism and Relationship. We love creativity. In fact we even nourish it. However we ask that you be realisitc about it. Meaning, even though this site has magic and the supernatural in it, does not mean it is not about the people. People have lives, jobs, families, and issues. Don't make anything over the top, like someone breaking up with your character and he/she decides to end their life by jumping off a building. Make your character act like you would in these types of situations.
In addition to that, we come to relationships. We embrace all types of relationships. Heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, even human/supernatural creature relationship. However, we want to state that THIS IS NOT A TWILIGHT site!! Please refrain from having your character fall instantly in love with someone just because they're a vampire or because they're dangerous. Relationships take time and that's why this is part of the realism rule. Be real about your relationships and don't get knocked up just because the guy has fangs and pale skin.
11. You're not your character so please don't get offended by what happens to your character. Also, you cannot kill another person's character without their permission first. The same can be said for any rape of theft. You must get permission from the other to do serious things like rape, killing, kidnapping, ect. You don't need their permission to get into a fight. This can be done through plots.
12. We work on a 3 strikes your out system. If you've recieved three warnings for rule violation, than we will suspend your account. If you return and persist with violating the rules, you will be banned without warning.
13. Did you read the rules? Hell to the yeah to the bitches
