welcome to ʜᴏʀɪᴢᴏɴ: ɴᴇᴡ ᴅᴀʏ! we are a post-canon roleplay set in the world of guerrilla games' rpg horizon: zero dawn. while you are not required to have played the game to join, the very nature of this site contains spoilers for the game's ending, so if you plan to play it, proceed with caution!

this list contains the rules for conduct on the forum, so it's important that you read them carefully! violation of any of the rules will result in a warning, and, if you persist, a ban.

in addition to the zeta/zifboards terms of service, please observe the following:

general

  • as stated above, you do not have to have completed horizon: zero dawn in order to participate in this forum; however, this forum will contain both spoilers for and original content that depends upon the game's plot. if this does not bother you, please make sure to read all of the informational posts in this board so you won't be lost!


  • be polite and courteous to everyone on the site. racism, sexism, threats, insults, etc., will not be tolerated. if someone is flaming or harassing you, please report it to a staff member immediately!


  • you may volunteer your psn information if you wish (for example, to find groups for multiplayer games), but do not persist in soliciting it from others if they have made it clear they do not want to do so.


  • please do not advertise except in the advertising boards.


  • avatar images will be automatically resized to 150px wide x 200px high. avatars larger than this will be resized accordingly.


  • if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask a staff member! we don't bite :)



character creation

  • please create a new account for each character. this forum uses a money-per-post system, as well as various other functions that work best when each character has their own account. other accounts may be linked in your signature for ease of identification.


  • be sure and name each new account with the name of your character -- it's not the end of the world if you don't, but i will have to go in and change it manually, which i'd prefer not to have to do!


  • you are currently limited to five characters maximum. this is subject to increase or decrease depending on site activity.


  • please don't create a new character until you have at least ten in-character posts with each of your previous characters.


  • you may, if you wish, claim a real-life figure to pose as your character. this is not mandatory, and if the person you want has already been claimed, you're unfortunately out of luck.


  • canon characters are first come, first serve. once you begin your profile, you will have three days to complete and submit it, or the character will be returned to the list of those available. if they have not been claimed by someone else after three days, you are more than welcome to submit your application again.


  • you are limited to one canon character, no matter how many other characters you have.


  • major plot characters such as Aloy, Sylens, and HADES will not be made available unless site plot demands it, and there will likely be special circumstances to applying for them should that happen. any npc that hasn't already been claimed is fair game!



writing & roleplaying

  • there is no minimum word count for in-character posts, but try and write at least a paragraph, plus dialogue, or the scene may become difficult to sustain!


  • you may start as many rp threads as you can keep active! threads that have not been updated in over a month will be closed, and you'll have to speak to a staff member if you want them reopened.


  • if you want a thread to be private for a set group of people, please say so in either the topic title or the topic description. otherwise, it will be assumed that your thread is open for anyone to enter!


  • similarly, if your thread is likely to contain violence, language, or sexual content of higher than a pg level, you are required to put a warning in the topic title (not the subtitle!). extremely graphic ("R"+ rated) content is prohibited as per zifboards' terms of service.


  • please, no purple prose. a new horus is born every time someone uses the word "orbs" instead of "eyes".


  • don't be a dick. write your character, not your fellow players', and don't godmod. nobody is invincible, and there's no chance for delicious conflict when your character can curb-stomp everyone around them in a single blow.

and that's it for now! these rules are subject to update and change at any time, so be sure to check back if there's an announcement! if you have any questions, don't hesitate to pm me, and welcome once again to ʜᴏʀɪᴢᴏɴ: ɴᴇᴡ ᴅᴀʏ!
