The rules that MUST be followed.
- No Godmodding/Powerplaying. NO ONE likes this. It's annoying, and it's no fun at all. Your character can not indestructable, be dodging every move, getting no damage, being a bagillion times more powerful than everyone else. It's not fair in the least. In a fight, you can't just say your character wins because they're the best. No one's amazingly powerful. Just because your character faints or something from a blow doesn’t mean they are weak. There's always that on character that can beat yours. ALWAYS. This also includes controlling other peoples characters. You cannot just go and do "Billy knocks Jim's head off of his shoulders," NO! Try something like "Billy attempted to knock Jim's head off of his shoulders,"Unless! You have permisson by the other person, then do so. Otherwise, no.
- No chatspeak/im/text talk. No brb, ttyl, g2g, bbl, afk, or anything like that in actual threads. The only exception is the cbox
- CBOX! Everyone loves the cbox!
-Cybersex:Just plain old NO. Of course you can kiss someone(not like that!) or huggle and such. BUT NO SEX THERE.
-Advertising: You can link to a site there, once or twice. No more please. Don't spam it up because no one will join.
-Abusing Members: Do not flame anyone. Don't argue. You can have debates if it's more than 2 people involved. Otherwise, use pms. - Do not TyPe liKE ThIs. It bothers the eyes sometimes.
- Treat others how you WANT to be treated. If you want to be treated like nuts, then so be it. If you treat people like nuts, expect them to do the same to you.
- Words aren't blocked out, but please...don't let every other word be a curse! Well, it can be an exception in a rp, if that's how your character talks. But outside, here and there is okies, but over and over... no.
- Leave an absense notice if you're going to be gone for a bit. This way we know you have not abandoned us and the board. If you're gone for over 80 or so days, and there is no notice, you're account and characters will be deleted. And any cannons you have will be free for the taking after 30 days.
- You are allowed as many original characters[made by you] as you wish. As long as you can keep up, and use all of them once in a while. No character likes to be thrown in the corner to collect dust. If you would like us to delete a character for you, please as someone with the ability to. They can be different accounts, or under the same one. Your choice.
- Please mark out of character comments in the RP board like //blah blah//, (blah blah), or ((blah blah)).
- Sex. We allow sex and sexual scenes because romance, love-making, intimacy, and everything in that catergory is perfectly natural. Know when to have it, and when not to. If every thread you post is going to be a sex scene, this is not the site for you. This is not a porn site.
- No tag in the title? It's OPEN. Some tags may include [Open] or [blah blah]. If it includes another member's name, please do not jump in unless you have permission to. This means ask in pm or in cbox, not the thread it's self. [closed] means no more can enter, and [end] is when the thread is OVER.
- Deaths can be okay in some cases, just make sure the other person is happy with what you cast. And you have permission to do so. Do not kill unless allowed.
- Be reasonable with the weapons. Do not have your character power-packing.
- Writing format is in third person only; past tense and in novel format: basically how a book is written.
- STAY IN CHARACTER! I cannot stress this enough. If your character HATES devils, don't go and have him or her be nice to one out of the blue. Have some kind of event(s) that leads up to him or her deciding to be nice. Development people.
- Not many people want to read boring posts that nothing happens in, so be creative and be descriptive. You can easily write up at least ONE paragraph.
- As stated above, details are nice. But sometimes, short and sweet is the way to go. Not every post has to be a master piece. We don't need a whole storyline about how your charrie picks a flower. Know when to use short and sweet or to be descriptive.
- For someone who's playing their own character you can be related to someone from the series; book, games, mangam etc. If someone on the site rps that character, please pm the person to let them know if you rp with him or her. No instant "Maria is married to Dante" stuff either. You can NOT have your character married to a canon out of the blue. A familia member, yes, but lover no. You can, however, rp with the rper of said character, and have that happen through actual events on the board.
- Wait until your character is approved before rping. If a staff member tells you to change, or explain, do NOT argue, just do it. You'll be temporaryily banned if you do.
- If a staff member tells you to drop the subject in an argument in the cbox or thread, do it. Otherwise you'll be temp. banned. You'll only get ONE warning.
- Concerning canons... you are only allowed two. One for one that affects the main plots directly in the series, like Dante for example. Side characters are the second choice. If you are inactive with a canon in your possession, we have right to remove him or her from your hands.
- To gain a canon, you must audition. You will write at least two paragraphs, rp sample, of how the character would act in a certain situation. PM to one of the admins. If you pass, you will be allowed to rp the cannon.
- HAVE FUN! =3
