[ SITE RULES ]

.01 Make sure that you read all of the basic information on the site before creating your character. By this, we mean, read the plot, the factions, familiarize yourself with the universe and read the rules.
.02 You can start posting as soon as you have completed a quick profile. The only time that this is not acceptable is when you are applying for a canon. The full profile is something that you can fill out for money to purchase on board items.
.03 You cannot post without making your account name your character name! And make sure to entitle your application, "LASTNAME, firstname."
.04 If you've finished a full profile, you can tell a moderator or administrator that you've completed it. However, one reminder is all we need. The more you harass us, the less inclined we will be to view your profile.
.05 Make sure you use the appropriate application for the appropriate faction.
.06 Before you start posting, make sure that you have an avatar! Posting without one will result in an account freeze until you have an icon up! If you post an application, and then request an icon in the graphics thread, that is a different story. Our avatar limits are 200 pixels in width and 350 pixels in height.
.07 We do not require a signature; however, if you wish to create one, please make sure that it is less than 450 pixels in width and 350 pixels in height.
.08 Vulgarity! Go for it! We fully condone it! However, no racial slurs, no demeaning others in any shape or form will be tolerated. We have a zero tolerance policy. We understand for the sake of good RP there needs to be tension; obviously some tension will be based on sexuality, religious affiliations and of course race. In the RP, we will tolerate some more tame slang terms. However, if a member takes personal offense to it, we will ask you to apologize to them personally.
.09 Abide by the general rules of the RP realm. No God Moding, God Modding, no Mary Sues or Gary Stues. There will be more listed in the FAQ section if you have any questions about what these terms mean.
.10 No unnecessary drama! We understand that there might be some OOC issues, but please, keep it off of the site's CBox. If you have an issue, and require mod assistance, we will be more than happy to help you. Above all else, if someone bothers you that much, just ignore them! This is supposed to be fun! Let's not make it dramatic, eh?
.11 No necromancy! Do not role-play the same thing over and over again. Do not do the same thread repeatedly. Thank you.
.12 Multiple accounts are acceptable! However, make sure that you can spend an equal amount of time on each character.
.13 Post minimum is 200 words. However, this does not apply in short RP sections.
.14 While we understand that not everyone's primary language is English, we do ask that you use proper English. No 1337 speak or anything of the sort.
.15 Do not use copyrighted names like, "Harry Dresden," or "Malcolm Reynolds." Be original, and keep our asses from getting sued.
.16 You have free reign over what kind of PB you would like to use, but please, make it a legitimate actor/actress. We don't use Anime PBs, cartoon PBs, pictures of yourself/friends or rendered PBs. Acceptable PBs include Musicians, Models and Actors/Actresses. You can use someone from deviantArt provided you have written consent that can be forwarded to an admin, stating that it is fine that you borrow their face for the RP. We have our reasons for using RL PBs. If you're curious as to why, feel free to message an admin. Do not argue with us on this. These are our rules.
.17 Please read the powers/talents rules before completing the powers/talents section of your application.
.18 We, as admins, reserve the right to tell you even after Reservation, and the act of applying as a canon character that we do not want you playing the canon. If you wish for clarification, we will be more than happy to tell you why. However, you will more than likely not like the responses you get. Reasons for us not wanting you to take the canon may include: 1) You will not uphold the standards that we have set for our canon characters. 2) Your grammar leaves a great deal to be desired and is reminiscent of Tara Gilesbie. 3) Your activity leaves a great deal to be desired. 4) We feel that you do not truly grasp the nature of the canon in question.

[/i] and as such, we wish to see them portrayed to the best of yours and our ability. If you do not fulfill our requirements for the Canon, we will respectfully ask you to forfeit the character. If you do not forfeit the character, then we will be forced to IP ban you from the site. We are very reasonable moderators, and are willing to negotiate. We are never going to strip you of your canon unfairly. However, DO NOT APPLY FOR A CANON POSITION IF YOU CANNOT PLAY AS WELL AS THE OTHER CANONS CAN! We don't have incredibly high standards. We just ask that you use proper grammar and understand the character.[/ul]
.19 The last and most important rule? Have fun!
