Rules
★ Rules
You have probably heard most of these before, but it is always good to set them out.
★ 1 Be kind and courteous to your fellow RPers. That’s common sense, right? No rude insults, slurs, bitching, etc. Be welcoming to all players. Also, this goes for respecting the characters. No character bashing. It's uncool.
★ 2 Stay IC. Another easy one, right? No worries, character development is great and awesome and encouraged but keep it within the character’s personality. It’s doubtful that someone dark, evil and heartless will suddenly be picking flowers for sickly orphans and crying at Lifetime channel movies.
★ 3 No godmoding. In other words, don’t control other people’s characters. If you have an idea for that character, then obviously get in contact with that mun and talk it over. But never do something with a character without that character’s mun’s permission. However, it’s okay if you and another player have a close bond where you trust each other with your characters. Just make sure that bond is there and you’re still keeping things IC.
★ 4 In connection to that, no coercing particular events. Suggesting plots and such is quite fine, but saying that "Z should do this" puts Z-mun on the spot and coerces them to do something they may not want to, or may not feel is natural for Z character. You just have to let things happened. (As my mother once said to me, "Whatever will be, will be.")
★ 5 Try to stay active. If you’re picking up a character, then we want to see them around. Feel free to take hiatuses as needed (RL happens and takes priority) and obviously characters won’t always have something to say but at least get them out commenting whenever you can. Otherwise what’s the point in having the character?
★ 6 This RP is heterosexual/homosexual/bisexual/'I reject your societal definitions of sexuality!' friendly. Explicit content should go under cuts and be flocked, though (remember, LJ is a whore about adult content. Ironically.)
★ 7 The character limit is currently at five characters and a player can only have three characters per fandom. The fandom limit can be discussed with a mod, however, depending on expansive canons and such. Also, if your five characters are active and you'd like to play another, chances are we'll allow it. We’re pretty flexible on this sort of thing They’re more like guidelines really… There is no limit on the number of OCs a player may have, but at this point, they must be non-fandom OCs. On that note, you can only play one version of a character. Meaning if you’re already playing Deviance 1 Haseo, you can’t play any other type of Haseo. So choose your character wisely.
★ 8 If you’re not sure on something - a rule, a plot you want to do, something about the setting - then please ask a mod. We don’t bite unless you want us to and communication between mods and players is important.
★ 9 Keep any IC drama IC and OOC drama out of the RP. Meaning that, naturally, characters will fight and bicker and backstab each other but don’t take it personally. Conversely, don’t use characters as an excuse to take out OOC frustrations on someone. If you’re having OOC drama issues, try to resolve them privately and maturely or if need be, contact a mod. This goes for the chat room, as well.
★ 10 The very most important one of all: Have fun! It’s a game; it’s supposed to be fun. So just relax and play.
