01. RESPECT. That should be self-explanatory you little shits! Respect on this site means no bashing of other members religion, sexual orientation, personality or anything of the sort. If any member happens upon an issue with another member we ask you to please take it up with one of the staff members. This is a fun site and we want everyone to feel comfortable.
02. Follow the terms and conditions that Proboards has listed! This is very important because we do not want our lovely site to be shut down. Nor do we want any of our members to be banned. This is a PG-13 rated site. Just please keep that in mind while you are posting.
03. We use a points system here, and our points are calls caps! Yes, we use soda caps as currency. For each post you make you earn 50 caps, with the caps you earn you can go into our store and purchase items for your profile or your character that would not normally be available to you or allowed. After each purchase, we will remove the caps from your profile.
04. Do not post in the ICC boards until you are accepted. Any posts you make there will be frozen until you are accepted. Do not pester the staff to accept your character – we are busy and we have lives. Unless it’s been more than two days, then kick our asses.
05. You can swear, clearly, just don’t overdo it. Again, this is a PG-13 site, so we don’t want to start any issues with Proboards and get ourselves shut down, now do we?
06. Keep fights and any conflict out of the cbox. We don’t want that on there, it’s a fun and easygoing spot for members and staff to chat and get to know each other. Be good. If an admin tells you to cut the shit, you cut it.
07. Graphics do have a size limit. Make sure your signature does not exceed 450px wide, and 500px long. The avater size limit is 150px wide and 250px long. If you exceed this, admins will ask you to remove them or resize them. If you do not, they will be removed for you. And don’t be afraid to ask someone to resize an image for you, we won’t eat you.
08. No powerplaying or godmodding. If you’ve been on at least one rp site before this, you know what it is. If not? Powerplaying is when you control someone else’s character in your own post. Not cool man. Godmodding is just bad, making your character invincible and all powerful, so just don’t do it.
09. No mary-sue’s or gary-stu’s here, people! Admins will not accept a character that is too perfect or on the flip side, too dismal and dark. I mean everyone loves a good sob story and everyone loves a likable character, but don’t over do it.
10. We have a 200 word minimum for in character posts, and when you think about it, that’s not very hard to do. Even if you don’t have muse, it’s pretty damn easy. We do allow rapid fire threads with no word count, but we will not allow this to become a prime method of roleplaying. If you are going to have a rapid fire thread, please label it with [RF] in the title.
11. This is a one account per character site. This means when you register your account, once you have been accepted you must change your display name to your character's full name in ALL CAPS.
12. Pregnancies can be rampant all over the site – especially between Cranks or Changlings. They have a disease that can be passed on through children, so they would not have a child normally. If it is a part of a plot you would like, this is something you can purchase in the store. Children among Naturals must be approved by staff.
13. If you have a high ranking character (Crank leader, gang leader, Purger officer, government official, ect.), you must post at least twice a week. If you do not, you will be given a formal warning. If the behavior continues, your character will be demoted IC, and you will not be allowed to try again for the position until you are proven active again.
14. In your application, make sure you have a legitimate face claim for your character. If you chose not to have a face claim, be sure to have an image that accurately represents your character. And don’t use real people from your personal life. That’s kind of rude and creepy, to be honest.
15. Follow the application form. Pretty self explanatory.
16. Be sure to check your claims and post them so you do not take someone else’s and so yours are not taken. Do not post your claims until after your character has been accepted.
17. Things like cars, televisions, and other electronics are not available to Cranks and Changlings, those must be purchased in the shop. For a full list of things that must be bought for your character, click here.
18. Special abilities and powers are only for Changlings, no one else. Certain powers and abilities must be purchased in the store. For a list of readily available powers, click here. If you have an idea of your own, just ask a staff member about it.
19. For now, there is no character limit seeing as we are a new site. This may change in the future if we see characters falling inactive. Try to keep the ratios on the character groups even. We don’t want ten Changlings and two Purgers, we wanna try and keep it all fair. If we see one group having more than the other, we may have to issue a ban, and no one likes those.
20. NPCs are more than welcome! In case you don't know what an NPC is, it is a Not Played Character. This means that you can control a character's actions without the character actually having an account or bio on the site. These are often minor characters, like a faceless attacker or the mother of your character you don't want as a character, ect. You cannot control the emotions of an NPC, though, and you cannot use them in place of a real character. They may only be used in your character's post if they are interacting with your character.
