General
Please be kind to each other. Obviously this is said a lot but that's because it's important. You can't have a successful roleplay if people really hate each other. Cool, fights with characters. Bad, fights with the creators.
I know this is kind of annoying, but try to keep things PG-13 at the most. If it is going to go beyond that, please put a label in the board. This includes in and out of character.
Do not steal other people's creations please. This includes graphics, character, anything. If I find out that you have stolen something from someone, I will not let you go through all the warning steps. You will be banned. Stealing is not tolerated.
In the roleplaying world, it's popular to use some pretty person from Myspace, Facebook, or any other chat site like that. Please do not do this. I know, disappointing, but there are a TON of celebrities to choose from. If you use a normal person, I will ask you to change the face of your character. You never know what kind of creepy people could be surfing this site.
Characters
Only one character per account please. You can have as many characters that you can keep active, but only one per account. That means each account gets one name. This also goes if you have a twins; each twin on a different account.
Please try and keep the characters realistic. Not every person is homosexual. Not every person is bisexual. Not every person is emorific and likes to wear tight clothes and is way too opinionated. I want a VARIETY!
When you register, make sure that you change your display name to your characters name. First name and last name is required, middle name is purely optional. If this is not done, I will ask you to change it. If you don't do as I ask, I will change it for you.
Face claim is a first come, first serve basis. Sorry. Make sure you claim the face after you've been accepted, not before.
I have the right to limit what type of characters are created. If we have too many girls, I will not accept anymore girl characters. If we have too many seniors, I will not accept anymore senior characters, and so on and so forth.
Right now, I am only accepting canon characters. Now, before you close out of this site, please, if it a chance. The only thing that is "canon" about them is their last name, and in some cases grade. I promise, it's not bad.
Another rule I didn't think I'd have to add, but apparently I do. No Mary-Sue or Gary-Stu characters. No body is perfect. There are people close but for crying out loud, not everybody is smoking hot, not everybody has the most money, not everybody is little Miss or Mr. Sunshine. Give your character some draw backs, everyone has it. Since we're working with celebrity faces, it will mostly have to be in personality, but c'mon. Make your people real, please.
Posting
This site is pretty much a free for all with strict guidelines.
I would be VERY happy if you posted at least two paragraphs. For me, I was taught that a paragraph was three to six sentences. Not a requirement, but just a goal you could shoot for. There is no limit on how long it can be though; if you wanna write ten paragraphs, feel free.
Please use correct grammar. Spell check is there for a reason and I'm sure you're all old enough to have gone through at least one grammar class. Apply that knowledge please.
Do not double post just so you can have a higher post count. I'll warn you for this one. When you are creating your application, please post doubt it in the section labeled other.
Please write in third person. That is how most roleplayers type anyway, but encase you aren't, please do so.
One liners are a big fat no-no. I know I said free for all, but seriously. Anyone can come up with more than one line. If you can't... well, practice please and get better.
Godmoding and powerplaying is also a no-no. You control your character, not someone else's. Death's and other things that will effect someone else's character will have to be discussed between the admin, you, and the other party involved.
No chatspeak. No spam. Basically, use common sense.
I never thought I'd have to say this, but I'm having a problem with this on the site. Please do not post anywhere but in the pending applications area or OOC until you have been accepted. This includes any claim and any relationships.
These rules are subject to change as I see fit. Please follow them, they're here for a reason.
