this is a roleplaying site so please register with a characters name. please make your username your character's first name, middle initial, and last name in PROPER CAPITALIZATION. yes of course, it is fixable by the admins, but why make them change it if you can get it right in the first place. if you do want to change it just pm an admin and they will do it for you.

this site does have an application! this is not meant to terrorize our members, but to inspire. so yes, it is a pain, but once you're done you know your character better than you know yourself. please do not roleplay until you have completely filled it out. also remember to post in the face claim. it's pretty simple and keeps the forum nice and clean. sounds easy enough.

this is a literate site, meaning a few paragraphs is the bare minimum here. when it comes to what a reply looks like we follow one rule. it's the rule of RECIPROCATION! meaning, if someone spends two hours writing a 1700 word response, don't reply with one paragraph with no dialogue. now this does pose a problem with open threads. the simple answer? make it medium length. for an open post do something along the lines of 400-600 words. not too long, not to short. then if you want to lengthen it or shorten it you have a nice starter. problem solved!

please no "net-speak" or "chat-speak". you don't speak it, rosetta stone doesn't offer it, so i don't consider it a language. please make sure your posts are written in the third person, past tense. seems silly that i have to mention it, but there it is. as admins, we reserve the right to deny a post or request that you repost if it is offensive.

no god-moding. God-moding is taking control of another players character without consent and doing ANYTHING with them. It also includes making your character unbelievably untouchable, overpowering them etc. This will not be tolerated at all. Myself and my admins hold the right to correct the problem in response to you violating this rule. If we get a complaint about this, you will be warned. Three strikes and you're out, folks. Don't tempt fate on this one.

You cannot kill or permanently damage another character without the character AND all Admins permission. You may not have your character get pregnant without all Admins permission.

for additional information on posting, please see the "guide to rping". it's a great guide on the basics of RPing.

we don't have a limit on how many characters you have, but we'd rather you have 1 or 2 great ones, as opposed to 5 or 6 barely active and under developed ones. get the picture? only take what you can handle. also, if you do have multiple characters, please make some of them boys. yes, we all know how fun it is roleplaying as girls, but we do have guys in this world! be reasonable. if you have 5 characters and only make one of them a guy? yeah that's not reasonable. however, 2 or 3 out of 5 is reasonable.

no one is perfect, and neither are your characters. they can't all be the popular, partying, guy getting girl. everyone has faults, and let those show! also it's really frustrating when people won't stretch beyond their playby's boundaries. yes, i know there are tons of cute pictures of kristen stewart and robert pattinson together which makes graphics ever so easy, but come on! that gets so old! who says kstew can't go out with chase crawford eh? maybe robert really has a thing for selena gomez? mix it up! don't let show/movie/networks separate the roleplaying gold you may have there! nobody likes anything predictable!

so what happens if, let's say, you really want to be leighton meester but oh noes! she's taken. what do you do? well A) you can pm the person with your desired play by and ask if you can be twins. if they say not then pick someone else! just because you can't be leighton doesn't mean it's the end of the world. maybe sophia bush is calling your name but you can't hear it. you never know until you try. you could even find a new favorite playby. now how sweet would that be?

please stay active! i know we all have lives so we don't expect you to come on every single day, but please try to be on and roleplaying! if you are going to be gone for for longer than 3-4 days, please post in the going away section. that way you don't just go MIA on us here. if you do need to leave the admins can then put your play by/character up for grabs for someone who will use it. also, if you have 5 characters, but you only roleplay with 2 of them we will delete unused characters. it's not fair for you to hog characters other people can use. so please, please, PLEASE stay active!

this site is rated M, because in life you never know what's gonna happen. this does NOT mean excessive violence, swearing or sex. if there's gonna be sex, mark the thread with a [M] or [mature] just so those reading responses are expecting. if you want to fade to #000000, sure do that. it's not mandatory, but don't make it so graphic that this becomes a porn site. If you have read this far, the secret phrase is dracula.

please keep all graphics tasteful. there will be NO NUDITY tolerated in banners or avatars. if it is seen, it will be removed and you will only get one freebie before you're banned.

signatures can be no larger than 500x350 and all avatars are limited to 160x250.

have fun! roleplaying is an awesome possum activity so just have fun. and as long as you follow these rules, i see no reason why you won't have fun! enjoy!
