Firstly:
1. When you register to become a member you must use your character's First and Last name any screennames like Potterzgurl002 will be deleted or we will pm you and ask for you to give us a proper name so that we can change it.
2. Please put the word Vampire somewhere in your profile.
General Rules: These rules apply for conduct on this forum in general.
1. No racial, nationalistic, sexual, or any type of discrimination will be tolerated on this forum. This rule most importantly if broken will get you banned faster than you can say Quidditch! Get it? Got it? Good!
2. Keep all advertisments in our advertising section. That is what it is there for and that is where it should stay.
3. No spamming, flooding, or double posting is allowed.
4. I ask that you keep swearing and any foul language to a minimum. I understand that your characters will be using it but every other word is a bit extreme. This is a Literate roleplay forum and I don't consider cursing in every sentence literate or in anyway intelligent.
5. If you get into a arguement with another member DO NOT bring it into the rp or anywhere on this forum.
6. You are allowed to post mature content. This is pertaining only to posts no pornographic links or pictures are allowed anywhere on this forum. But if you do post mature content please give a warning to others who may find it offensive or take it to a locked forum so you can have privacy. Now when I say mature I mean exactly that. I don't want to see any childish smut that is in no way mature but nasty and uncreative. What I mean by this is basically whole pages of F*** my P***Y over and over and filthy talk. That isn't mature, sounds mature to those who can't differentiate but it isn't. In real life that type of thing only happens when the person is young or a sleeper/very *friendly* person/easy etc. No offence ment but please keep it mature.
Role-Playing Section:
1. Your posts must have at least 30 + words. This may seem intimidating to some but this is a semi-advanced forum and this rule is in place to insure there are no one liner's.
2. You may not by any means control the thoughts, actions, or emotions of any character but your on. This is known as G-Modding (Not to be confused with Global Moderators ) or God-Modding and is rarely ever tolerated on any forum let alone the more advanced ones.
3. A little of this was discussed above but I will not be allowing any Mary-Sue's or Gary-Stu's. For those of you who don't know what a Mary-Sue or Gary-Stu is, they are what is refered to in the fanfiction world as 'The perfect character.'
A Mary-sue is usually flawlessly beautiful, she is kind and as sweet as honey. Everyone loves her even her enemies though they don't think they're worthy. Despite being so incredibly kind she can easily insult even the most intelligent of people with her 'scathing' remarks which usually consist of 'Shut up you meany!'
A Gary-Stu is unbelievably handsome (Think all those pop boys put together.) a rebel who can break the rules, and back talk all his teachers to the extremes and yet never get punished. He is gifted in all his subjects but he usually doesn't pay attention and yet still swings top grades. He is a loner who trusts no one but is surprisingly dating one of the main female characters.
I will not allow these if you make a profile that is Mary/Gary Suish I will inform you in your profile and help you make your character more realistic. Sorry but that is the rule.
4. Pregnancies, marrages, etc. is allowed. But please inform a admin/mod of your plans in advance. So I can give it the heads up.
5. No out of character or ooc talk in the roleplay. If you have something you need to say then put OOC or (( )) with your SHORT message and then Bic and continue rping. No magor conversations or things not pertaining to the rp are allowed anywhere but the out of character area.
6. To make sure you read the rules through and through and didn't just stop when you got the code word please also put werewolf somewere in your profile.
7. You must write in third person, meaning I don't want to see. I walked to the forest etc. That is perfectly fine in stories but in the rp it can become more annoying than anything. So keep it third person thank you.
8. When you start a new rp topic or want to join one make sure you either put a tag or open, Anna/Kendra or whoever you want to rp with in the topic discription. This allows your fellow rper's to know whether or not it's okay for them to join.
9. You are allowed up to three characters, as time progresses and you show you can handle those characters that you have then you may have a fourth if you pm an admin/mod and ask for permission. Also when you decide to rp as another character you must re-register with that character's name.
10. Once you see a character is taken they are taken. There will be no exceptions to this rule you must take another character. I do not want to see anyone trying to make different versions of that characters name it will be deleted sorry.
11. This is important especially for those rping as Cannon characters. You must be an active member. Now I understand if you can't post everyday we all have lives, but once a month once a week is not enough. You must be able to post at least twice or three times a week. If a month goes by and we see you have not posted or mentioned you would be absent we will send you an email informing you that if you do not post in two days your account will be deleted. And if you are playing a Cannon your character will be back up for grabs. Sorry but I want active members this rule is highly important.
12. Character deaths are allowed but no major cannons can be killed unless it is part of the story. Also once your character is dead that's it they can't come back. So you may want to think about it before you kill your character off. You can't kill another person's character off unless you have worked it out with them and been given permission by an admin/mod.
13. Have fun!!
Well these are the rules, see that wasn't so bad now was it? Also I want it to be made clear that xvanhelsing in no way owns any of the original characters to the book and any related material.
