-Welcome to the Roleplay- -This is a small, community-oriented roleplay. Because of this, members are accepted into the community by invitation or application only. If you have been invited to join this roleplay, we ask that you please read and review these rules carefully before officially joining. These rules are important, and each member will be held accountable for any of them that happen to be broken.
-Joining & Character Creation- -In order to join, you must have been invited or suggested to a staff member. We would like to keep this roleplay small (but not too small) in order to develop complex and intricate storylines. If you have not been invited by the staff or recommended by another existing member, please contact myself (Jess) either on here or Habboon to see if you are eligible to be part of the roleplay.
-Biographies are a required part of the roleplay. You must create one and have it approved in order to go in-character.
-You may use most mythical species for your character, and humans are allowed. If the species is one that is not very well known by most people, staff will ask you include some kind of information about the species within your bio. Straight-up angels and demons are NOT allowed as playable characters in order to prevent over-powered characters. Angelic hybrids (nephilim) are allowed. Hybrid species are NOT allowed, unless approved by staff.
-Please first create your bio under the "Character Creation" topic of the forums. A template has been provided for your convienience, however, we invite members to get as creative as you'd like with your biography. While you don't need to follow the exact outline of the template, we do ask that you include the information that the template asks for. You may add to the template as much as you'd like, and code it however you'd like as well.
-There is a one-character per-member rule. You may only have one active character at a time. In order to switch to a different character, your current character must be killed off or have an IC reason to be unavailable for scenes and this must be for an extended period of time, and be approved by staff.
-In-Character Rules- -Please remain in-character while in rooms where scenes are in progress. If you continually go OOC while a scene is occurring, you will be warned once and asked to remain IC. If you continue to remain OOC or disrupt the scene with OOC comments, you will be kicked from the room and excluded from the scene for a short period of time. It's perfectly fine to remain OOC in a room where others are all OOC, however, if OOC comments become disruptive to sceneing, there will be some consequences to ensure sceneing can continue for other members.
-Lines must be 5+ words in order to be considered valid. This is a descriptive roleplay, and so we ask members to get as creative as you'd like with lines. Please avoid using fillers ("As I, This Is True, Etc.) as they are frowned upon, however, a few every now and then are acceptable.
-The roleplay is intended to be driven by character development and plot. While combat and fight-based roleplay is permitted, it is not the roleplay's soul purpose. Combat and IC physical disputes must have a purpose or some reason behind them. Combat is emotive-style; this means that lines must be descriptive and realistic. Fights are not able to be won simply be quickly producing short lines.
-Character deaths must be negotiated before they can occur. While every character is capable of being killed, deaths must have a reason behind them and be discussed ahead of their IC occurrence. A staff member must be informed when a character death is being planned, in order to ensure that the death is fair and done without creating any kind of OOC conflict.
-OOC Rules- -BE RESPECTFUL. You don't have to like everyone in the roleplay, but disrespect and deliberate OOC malicious behavior will not be tolerated. Sexist, racist, or other offensive comments are NOT allowed and making one will result in one warning, and then being banned from sceneing for a whole day. Repeat offenses will result in being banned. The point of this roleplay is to have fun, NOT to cause problems with other members. Should a problem arise, please seek out the assistance of a staff member. We are happy to help solve conflicts before they get out of hand, so please, ask for help before an issue does become a bigger problem. All parties involved will be treated equally and given equal attention until the conflict has been resolved. While screenshots are not required when there are problems, it is recommended that they are provided for serious issues.
-If you should have any questions, comments, suggestions, or need any help, feel free to private message any staff member or post your concerns on the forums under the Help/Altercations category.
