NUMBER ONE .
register under any name you want, because you can always modify it lol, but you won't be accepted until you have your character's entire name in lower case as your display name. no extra symbols, just the name.

NUMBER TWO .
haha, the admin break this all the time, so it hardly seems fair to set a limit for you. so, there is no character limit. we suggest every two women you make, you make a man. hell, he can be gay if you want, but a man all the same. we aren't going to enforce it, unless the ratios get way too outta whack.
NUMBER THREE .
don't name your character after their play-by, or after a role they are well known for. that is all we ask. it's tacky.
NUMBER FOUR .
respect. give it, get it, good. any problems with other members, bring it up with an admin. if we see any OOC fights, action will be taken, and i doubt anyone will like it.
NUMBER FIVE .
nobody is perfect, including your character. everyone has a past, not all of them are bad. they may have something wrong with them, so mess them up, but not everyone can have dead parents, so try to mix it up please. we get any obvious mary-sues or gary-stus, we will not accept you. be creative.
no posting anywhere before you're accepted except the applications board, and the suggestion/questions/comments board. thankies.
don't modify the application template!
NUMBER SIX .
no stealing other's play-bys but if you would like to check up and see if the person has posted in the past two weeks, and they haven't, you have the right to notify an admin and take that play-by. Or, you can ask for twins, but we'll only allow a certain amount on the board, so if there are already 6 sets of twins, don't expect us to allow it.
your character must be represented by an actual flesh and blood person please. no anime or cartoon people. this isn't that type of site.
NUMBER SEVEN .
"i don't want to see sex, drugs, and rock n' roll." -whine-
then don't join, because all of that stuff will happen on this site.
We'd love it if you put a rating in your more saucy threads though
ex.
(M) --late night movies
If we find out you posted a naughty thread and didn't put up a rating, we will delete the thread and potentially ban you. it isn't always nice for people to just stumble on these threads. there are ways of changing the thread name after you've started as well. So if a thread takes a turn for the naughty, then just get the title changed.
NUMBER EIGHT .
god-modding. do it without permission, automatic ban. nobody likes other people doing things for their character. there are special circumstances to every case. if your character is doing something small, like holding open a door, and you have the other person follow them outside, then that's understandable, but nothing too influential please.
NUMBER NINE .
word count. we won't set this terribly high, because some people just have bad days, and they can't put it out, but please remain above 300 words thank you!
if someone is posting a thousand words to you, and you only post 450 words back, that's just disrespectful and lazy. i understand not having muse, but just add a paragraph about what they're wearing or something to beef it up. your rp partner put the effort in, so do it too.
NUMBER TEN .
graphics. if you suck at them, please use caution 2.0. (google it) or ask someone for help. don't stretch the page, and your avatar must be a 100x100 icon or a 100x150 avatar.
A signature and avatar of your celebrity are required. if you can't make or find one, there is a graphics request thread for such occasions.
NUMBER ELEVEN .
you don't have to advertise for us, but if you'd like to that'd be great. also, please only advertise your sites on the advertisement board.
NUMBER TWELVE .
people get pregnant, and people die. people do in fact murder other people, or get into gang shootouts, and demons tend to kill people. but in this world, the admin must know first. any major plottage going on, must be run by the admin.
NUMBER THIRTEEN .
have fun! not required, but why else would you be here if you don't want to have fun. so go ahead, get creative, and come up with interesting plots, we enjoy seeing things like this.
