Characters
i. Characters must be submitted by creating a new thread in the Character Creation forum.
ii. All characters must be accepted by a staff member before they may be used.
iii. Characters must adhere to the length requirement: two paragraphs are expected for appearance, three for personality, and three for history.
iv. Flawless characters, particularly Mary Sues and Gary Stus, are most likely not going to be accepted.
v. Do not argue with the staff member who is reviewing your bio. Being courteous and making the changes they ask is the quickest way to get your character accepted.
vi. There is no limit to the number of characters owned by one person; however, try to maintain a reasonable activity level for each of them.
vii. There is a chance that characters won't be added to the sidebar directory automatically. If this is the case, members should notify the Librarians of any changes that need to occur.
viii. All births, deaths, and marriages should be reported to the Librarians, in order to update the Directory. The specifics regarding births, deaths, and marriages may be left to the owners of the characters involved, so long as no site rules are being violated.
ix. Members are allowed to claim celebrities as play-bys (or face claims) for their characters, and should follow the guidelines on the actual Face Claim thread.
x. Canon characters and relations to canon characters are prohibited.
Roleplaying
i. Roleplaying with characters who have not been accepted is prohibited.
ii. Chatspeak is prohibited in-character. No exceptions.
iii. A minimum of one good-length paragraph is expected for each response. More is preferable.
iv. Controlling someone else's character (powerplaying) is expressly forbidden. This ranges from shaking their hand without them offering it to making their character say something or perform an action.
v. Godmodding is likewise prohibited. Your character is not invincible.
vi. It is permissible for characters to be in as many threads as they would like, unless they are tributes in the Hunger Games.
vii. Threads should not be comprised of multiple posts that are only OOC notes. Use the private messaging system instead of the thread.
viii. Thread-jumping (posting on someone else's thread) is prohibited. Please be sure to ask permission before entering anyone else's thread.
