• Generally, no swearing or coarse language unless in an [R] RP. Be aware that everyone else on this forum is a real person too, and don't forget to respect them.
  
• IC (In Character) posts should always be in the Roleplaying category. OOC (Out of Character) posts everywhere else.
  
• Don't post porn or otherwise inappropriate stuff. Ever. It'll be deleted, and you'll be banned temporarily.
  
• If you choose to have a signature other than a Character Sig, the dimensions must not be greater than 150x500.
  

• When creating a character, use the character creation form! Remember to read the Character guidelines as well.
  
• You can create a total of FIVE (5) characters for now. Five character slots is plenty!
  
• Though you may have 5 characters, only 3 of these 5 can be in one RP at a time. If you want to be part of 5 different RPs, each character can join an RP. If you want 2 characters in one RP, and 3 in 3 seperate RPs, you can do that too.
  
• Regarding [OF] RPs, any characters currently involved in one cannot take part in other RPs. If your Character is in an [OF]RP, they will have to leave it if they want to join another one. However, a character outside an [OF]RP can join as many regular RPs as they want.
  
• Each RP takes place in its own kind of dimensional pocket. Unless its an [OF] RP, nothing you do in that RP will effect the rest of the world. If you burn down a forest in one RP, don't expect it to still be there in the next.
  
• All characters must be original. So no, you can't be Naruto or Sephiroth, sorry. Creativity and imagination is an important part of roleplaying~
  
• If you decide to post art to represent your character, please write who made the picture. If you don't know, CLEARLY state that it is not by you.
  
• No Mary-Sues, please. A Mary-Sue is a character who is perfect in everyway and perfectly flawless. Try to make your characters as believable and real as possible! ^^

• Please READ the first post in every RP. This should be pretty basic, since the first post will always have the introduction/specifics about the RP, and it is mandatory.
  
• No one-liner posts. Try to add some detail to your post and really paint a picture with it.
  
• You control YOUR character(s), that's it. Don't try and control other peoples' characters, they aren't yours.
  
• Try not to doublepost, which means posting twice in a row in the same topic.
  
• Good grammar is always appreciated! There is a spell check button, too, if you need it. Typos or misspellings aren't against the rules, but IM-chat is. (ex: u r so kewl lol plz dont keel me u sux lawl)
  
• Posts should be in third person most of the time. (ex: Kuro walked through the town as he steadily ate an apple. NOT: I walked through the town while steadily eating an apple.)
  
• When entering an RP, try to be pretty good about it - read up on what's happening and what's happened in the past, and try to join serenely, not by disrupting the entire RP. If you don't want to read pages and pages of an RP, ask one of its members to summarize it for you, or simply join RPs early on.
  
• Immaturity is looked down upon. If your character gets hit by a monster, don't whine about it.
  
• Similarly, don't make your character invincible (See Mary-Sue rule). Your character can't always dodge attacks!
  
• Read this guide on Roleplaying NPCs & Support characters if that is something you plan to do.
  
• Try to have fun and make it enjoyable for everyone. A long, well-written RP can be a really fun adventure, so try to stick to the rules and enjoy roleplaying with others! ^__^
