General
- Respect. I can't stress this enough. Follow the rules, listen to staff, and be mindful of others. Certain topics may not appeal to certain people. If someone asks for a certain topic to cease discussion, do so. Briefly mentioning something is fine; having an in-depth conversation about it is not.
- There will be specific topics that are not allowed. Although this site is meant to be open to realistic battles, it is strictly for roleplaying. Discussion of extensive gore and violence, addictions, and other sensitive topics will not be allowed. You will get one warning before a temporary cBox ban. Two strikes results in a temporary ban from the site. Three strikes results in a permanent ban from the site.
- Power playing and godmodding are not allowed. You cannot use OOC knowledge, never get hit, control other characters, etc, unless you get permission to do so beforehand.
- Eventually, there will be activity checks. They will be open for two weeks. If you do not contact me, whether on here or via Skype, about why you aren't active/can't post, then assume your account will be purged.
- If there is an issue, don't let it fester or think it'll fix itself. I am guilty of doing this on numerous occasions, and it has never ended well. If you bring a problem to my attention, I can at least be aware of it, and therefore, try to come up with a solution for it.
- In regards to the cBox: Try not to swear too much. Don't discriminate against anyone or anything. Try to be friendly and helpful, especially to potential new members. GIF icons are fine, as long as they are not obnoxious / seizure-inducing.
Account
- When you join, create your account with your character's first name, last name, or nickname. There will be a one account per character rule in place. Creating an account that relates to the character will help when people tag, for future reference.
- Signatures are fine; just don't make them too large and obnoxious.
- Use PG-13 and under icons, avatars, etc only. No suggestive pictures.
In Character
- Do not carry over hostility from OOC to IC between characters.
- You can start off with two characters without having to wait. After that, you will need to wait a couple of weeks and have been posting actively on both other characters before you can create another one. This may change in the future.
- For Varosha, the minimum character age is going to be 14. Even that is a bit young, considering the setting. There may be exceptions, if given admin approval beforehand, however. The age requirement for specific groups may vary.
- When creating a character, you will have seven days to finish the profile before it gets benched.
- Animanga art is preferred. In other words, face claims must come from an anime, manga, or video game. No real life photos.*
