In Character Expectations
❊ Remember that this is a realistic roleplay. Please keep it so.
❊ For the sake of realism, fights are allowed, but keep it fair. Your character cannot dodge every attack or land every blow, nor can their hits be inhumanly powerful. God-modding will not be accepted. Fighting is only permittable with the permission of the other character’s owner.
❊ Leaving the roleplay unexpectedly for seven or more days without posting in the “Leave of Absence” board gives staff and other members the right to control your character (minor movements). Long periods of unexcused absence will result in suspension or member deletion.
❊ Minor cursing is permitted in roleplay, but we would appreciate it if cursing stayed at a minimum. The allowance to curse in roleplay is a privilege, please do not abuse it.
❊ We are a CHAIN site, and as such do not roleplay in liquid time. You may not create your own threads. Roleplaying in two or more threads at once is prohibited. Exits from each thread must be clearly stated.
❊ Please post at least one solid paragraph, so about five sentences minimum.
❊Please keep OOC and IC separate. Short OOC comments at the beginning or end of an IC post are acceptable, but NOT in the middle. No posts in IC may be OOC comments only.
