No Asian Names: I understand that you want to be creative. But in this Asian craze that has been sweeping the internet, it's no longer creative. And, honestly, I just don't like the way the names sound. In addition to this, in my role playing experience, those with Asian (typically Japanese) names usually ruined the immersion for me. This world is a European Medieval fantasy universe regardless, so Asian names really have no place here.
No real-life figures.
No pre-established characters.
No godmodding.

(Stolen from Sei Sei. Will work on it so that it's not a direct copy eventually.)
Before creating a thread within this section of the forum, please visit the 'OOC' forum to organize your idea and specify whether the topic is private or public. If there is an insufficient amount of discussion before the creation of a topic, please inform an administrator by PM and they will approve the creation of a topic; in the case that there is a topic created without even a topic of planning or a discussion, then it will be deleted- writers should stray towards the set, 'open' locations to do such things.
Roleplay Etiquette: (Can be added upon)
- Before entering a roleplay or scene- especially if one is entering the open-locations- make an introduction post which will state your character's appearance, facial expression, and anything that is relatively important that has to be explicitly defined for other players to interact with.
- Read other peoples' posts- it is frowned upon to ignore circumstances and scenery articulated by another person's post, and especially so if you ignore action that is directed towards you.
- Please keep IC and OOC split up, players should not be bickering out-of-character over interactions between characters, and death avoiding is -very- amateurish. It is fine to get devoted and empathetic with one's character but don't proxy your character as your IC avatar, please (be creative, original characters- or at least don't play the same, exact character repeatedly).
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
General IC Rules:
1. No godmodding- meaning one is not allowed to explicitly control other players' characters without permission. Other, digressing definitions regarding having a character that is flagrantly too powerful or invincible is frowned upon as well.
2. Do not metagame; OOC (out-of-character) information will stay out of your character (especially if the character does not know). If it is debatable whether you have metagamed or not, you will be warned- but blatant violations will warrant a suspension from the roleplay forums.
3. Avoid trolling and flaming; I do not think I have to elaborate about this- comedy/comical actions are tolerated, however, but be sure that you have discussed well with the topic-maker before doing so to prevent destroying the atmosphere. Obvious, unnecessary berating of other players OOC will warrant a warn, and perhaps a suspension/ban.
4. Follow the topic-creator's custom rules that can be created in the OOC section; the creator has the permission to kick you out of the roleplay if they have good reason to do so.

Topic Conventions:
When making a topic in this section, a couple of general guidelines should be followed to keep them tidy and easy to browse in the case that somebody is trying to find their roleplay, fish out something, enter somebody else's public roleplay, etc.
1. When you are starting a roleplay on the forums, you should first take the topic to OOC. After completing your planning, discussion, and player-gathering, the topic created in this section should be:
SUBJECT (PRIVATE/PUBLIC; RATING) - Location, time(RL DATE)
Drunken Brawl (PRIVATE; E) - In Small Paul's Tavern, Night-time (Sept 18)
2. Inside your topic should have a list on the introducing post of the scene the OOC player names (if it is private) and also a link to the OOC topic if you want.
3. Letters and mail from the game are allowed in this section, but must be addressed flagrantly so that people -know- that it is a letter, not a roleplay topic. Letters should always have the person being addressed on it- refrain from utilizing the contents of a letter to metagame in client roleplaying.

Audience Rating Tags:
E -> Everyone; the roleplay is for general audiences and does not have excessive, unnecessary vulgar language. No gruesome, graphic material or adult content may be introduced within E-type forums.
M -> Mature; the roleplay is intended for stronger audiences that can handle obscene language, graphic material. No adult content.
R -> Restricted; the roleplay may be borderline erotic, extremely graphic, and bear inflammatory language.
X -> Adult; the roleplay has explicitly described erotic scenes and obscene, immensely graphic beyond anything recommended for a regular person, and has no restriction on whatever is within these contents. (AKA, BEWARE READERS!)
