[/li][/ul]GENERAL:
- the first rule is that every rule should be followed, and that these rules are not to be taken lightly. breaking the rules will give you a warning. if you hit three warnings, you are banned or put on temporary leave from the board. three strikes and you're out.
- always make sure to respect staff and fellow members. do not create unnecessary drama or conflict, but if there is a pressing matter that you feel you must talk about, please settle any disputes in private messages. we don't want our chat box or our boards to be clogged up with bickering, as that could scare away new members or make current members feel awkward.
- this is a homestuck role-play, so we expect you to know a decent amount of the webcomic before joining. please, if you don't know much about homestuck and wish to join, at least look over a few pages of the wiki until you feel comfortable with the setting.
- please always feel free to ask the staff questions if you are confused.
- please keep the cussing and lewd language to a minimum while out of character. yes, this site is rated pg-13, but you can see our other thread about why that is in place. it is not to accommodate for your behavior, but for your character's.
CHARACTER CREATION:
- one character per account.
- when making a character, remember that kids have to have a four letter first name with a 6-7 letter last name, while trolls keep the typical six and six.
- no mary sues or gary stus.
- no self-inserts.
- your character is required to have a face claim. whether it be from an anime or manga, or even original art, the character has to have a face. please post in the face claims thread to reserve a face for your character.
- always keep in mind that your kid becomes a guardian in the alpha session, as well as their guardian becomes a kid. maybe take into account what sort of adult they would be, and what sort of kid their guardian would be. also, be sure to keep face claims in mind.
- after your character is accepted, keep an eye on your inbox. the staff look over your character app and asses what class, aspect, and dreamworld they belong in. a member of the admin team will private message you with their suggested information, but you do have a say in it. if you absolutely hate the mind class for your character, tell us! we take into account your opinion when we decide these things.
WHILE POSTING:
- word count is 200 words for threaded topics, but persterlogs don't have a word count. please just try your best and your posts should be fine.
- no godmodding, or controlling other people's characters.
- keep posting order.
- try to allow your character to have weaknesses, to have screw ups. not everyone is invincible, especially in homestuck, so please don't make everything always go swell for your character. allow there to be bumps down the road.
- do not kill off characters without the role-player's permission to do so. we realize that this is homestuck, and a lot of people may die, but please don't take the fate into your own hands. talk it over ooc before making it happen.
- if you wish for your character to have sex, please fade to black or imply it, without using too much graphic terminology.
