The Rules= Law. Follow Them.

1. First and foremost, treat everyone with respect. It's never fun when someone has a bad experience based on something another member did or said. If you have any serious problems or complaints, please message an admin and we'll fix the situation right away.
2. The c-box is there for chatting. It's not there to advertise or spam at the members, so don't do it. There also should not be any fighting in the c-box or any form of harassment at all. We just won't tolerate it, kay?
3. If and when you decide to join, please register with your character's first name. That's pretty simple to do. Not your name, not a nickname, but your character's full first name. Once you have registered, please change the display name to your characters first, middle and last name all in lowercase letters. For example, my character's name is Erinn Lacey Thomas. I would register with simply "erinn" and then change the display name to "erinn lacey thomas." Mmkay? Any problems, just feel free to ask and we can fix that for you.
4. Obviously, each character MUST have a separate account. It's easy to track things that way and just makes more sense to do it like this. Twins or anything else that you can think of will still have separate accounts as well.
5. Registering a character is easy, simply post in the proper board with the code and voila!
6.Every character is required to have an avatar. If you have a problem making one, feel free to ask me and I can get one up for you, no problem. Signatures are not required, but if you wish to have one, they mustn't stretch the board or be obnoxiously tall. Nothing against the Proboards TOS in the images, just use your discretion to figure out what's appropriate.
7. When roleplaying, there is absolutely no power-playing or god-modding. No one likes it when other people use their characters for them, so don't do it. Use your character and your character alone.
8. When making your characters, make sure they're believable. It's possible to have some sort of tragic past or whatever, but it can't be overdone and it can't be super ridiculous. If you can make it work without it seeming fail, than by all means go for it. Likewise, there are no perfect people. Everyone has flaws, so don't make and sueish characters. That's always extremely dull to work with.
9. We don't have a minimum word count, but please try to reciprocate what you've been given. It sucks to write up a fantastic, long, awesome post to only get a few lines in response. Try to give your best work, that's all we can ask.
10. Please don't forget to post in claims, it's helpful for the admins and other members of the site.
11. In regard to special races and abilities, there is only going to be a very limited number allowed. If you wish for your character to have any of these, than PM a staff member before you create the character to talk things over. This includes: werewolves, vampires, veela, animagi, legilimens, occlumens, fortunetellers, seers and parselmouths.
12. For activity checks, your character must have posted at least once in the month's span to be saved. This means, they should have at least one post in either a thread or snapshot to be kept.
13. And of course, do have fun. ;]
