Registering and Applications

First off, I cannot stress this enough, please register with your character's name, in First Last format, properly capitalized (Example: Alex Smith). If you make a mistake during registration or decide to change your character's name please contact an administrator via PM. We will gladly help you fix the issue.

When actually filling out a character app, please use the format provided by the site, and properly title the topic Last Name, First Name. You may post incomplete applications, but please keep in mind that incomplete apps left unattended for two weeks will be moved to the archive. If you would like an application retrieved from the archive, please contact an administrator via PM.

Conduct - In Character

Please keep in mind the setting and plot when RPing with your character. Its unlikely your character will find himself running about in space fighting alien monsters or time travelling with an eccentric old man. Similarly, technological leaps and bounds don't necessarily happen overnight. Keep in mind if you intend to apply for a custom armour system that you must have a compelling technical history and understanding of the technology involved.

Staying in character is another paramount here at UC: The Origin. Please try to remain true to the character depicted in your application when posting. Traits and personalities don't change overnight; rarely do they change at all. The outgoing, joking type isn't going to become a reclusive goth overnight. Similarly, one must keep in mind their character's knowledge when posting. Using your real life knowledge of places, other characters, or planned events is a form of god-modding and will similarly not be tolerated. Remember to keep in mind what your CHARACTER knows, not what you do.

Regarding character deaths, your character cannot die without your explicit permission. Exceptions to this rule apply only in cases in which the player is banned and a resolution for a situation involving their character(s) must be attained.

You may have multiple characters, but as the rules state each character must be a separate account. Also, please do try to avoid overtaxing your time and resources; if you only have time for one character, don't make five.

Conduct - Out of Character

I'll put this out up front, this site was created with consenting adults in mind. Sex, drugs and violence should be expected at any time in RP on this site. That said, if you expect a thread to be heading down territory that is particularly explicit, graphic, or gritty, please tag it with an [M] in the topic title.

Please don't make the mistake of mixing what is acceptable in character and what is acceptable out of character. I expect that some characters will have racial or misogynistic tendencies or views, or have some other form of prejudice. This is acceptable, so long as it remains IN CHARACTER. Taking these positions into non-IC areas of the board, chatbox, or via PM to other members is entirely unacceptable and will NOT be tolerated by the administrative staff. This is the only warning against such behaviour.

General courtesy and respect apply throughout the OOC areas of the site. Be mindful of other members and treat them as you'd like to be treated. Don't harass or nag people, don't insult them, and above all don't let IC hatreds spill over to OOC.
