  • have "realistic" characters: if your character is strong or have multiple types of high level magic or anything in that nature there has to be a good reason behind it. This rule also goes on too weak characters, you most have reasons for your persons power and it goes on to your characters behavior, guidos, hipsters and the like will be seen in this rule and be denied, chavs are ok

  • Do not insult other members just because they may share a different viewpoint to you. Your character may not like their character but it does not mean you do not like the RL person. If anything about Racism is brought up and you have acted racist against another member you will be banned from the site and deleted.

  • Do not intervene with someone else's story. If they are building a good story, do not come in and overthrow them with yours. It is not fair to them. If you want to be included, make your character involved somehow but do not steal the limelight. Think of it as real life. If you saw this right now in front of you what would you do? But luckily it is not you....it is your character.

  • Do not steal other people’s ideas. If you hear something, you know other people will do try to think of something else instead of getting their first. In addition, no repeating stories. If something has already happened and is repeated but this time with different characters, it will still be deleted. No one wants to see a story twice.

  • Think about where your character was during a certain discussion. Say "Peter" and "Tony" were having a conversation about "Alice" when Alice was asleep or somewhere else Alice wouldn’t know what they said even if her creator read it. So even if you know something going to happen, Alice doesn’t and make her seem aloof. In addition, you do not read peoples thoughts(unless you have that power). If someone says "thinks: <insert text here>" no one else can hear it. Therefore, although it may include to your story your character doesn’t know they thought it.

  • NO double posting. This is when you reply to your last post. If it has been a couple of days and you've left an area and have gone back to it. Heck even an hour is ok XD this rule apply to multiple characters owned by same person, if more of your characters are in the same spot you use one account to rp with both until they are separated, this is to not cheat in the postings, if you are doing some sort of big intro and more of your characters are in one spot it is ok to post as only one of them, but for short posts stick to one account

  • If you have a big story that could go on for a while could you check it over with me first. I’d like to make sure it could work and shizzle and also please come to me if there's is something you’re unsure about or confused about.

  • Read People's Character Profiles. This will let you know what is going on with them and why they may act a certain way. However, this does not mean your character necessarily knows what is going on. Only if you're told!

  • Before you start to post, an admin MUST approve your profile

  • Please try to type clearly and in a way that everyone can easily understand. Text talk is just annoying and your posts will be edited. If it continues, I will send you a PM about it.

  • No multiple accounts without permission from your Admins first. (for now this rule is not so strict), one account per character, UNLESS you got a good reason for sharing an account (say the people are often together, or is a family)

  • If you have a complaint, private message the admin this also goes for questions and wanting something to be add, like a place to rp for France

  • big arcs must be approved with admins, this also goes if your character will change in some mayor way

  • Used characters are ok, but give them a fresh slate, this forum has no other forum in its history meaning whatever that character has done in any forum does not transfer to this forum (though transferred multiple characters can keep some history like Lorcan has children, this transfer is only ok if all the people who has rped a important part in your characters past is ok with it)

  • No my little pony photos, no meme spamming, no doucebags, and no guidos

  • No advertising, if you want to advertise your forum pm morts

  • The Staff’s decisions are final. Likewise, the staff has a good reason to disapprove of your submissions. If you feel like it should be approved, talk to the staff. But do not continue to bug them after they have made their final decision. Consequences will follow if you constantly bug the staff.

  • Important RP events must be approved by both parties. (i.e. someone would like to be my brother. He must ask permission). Don't RP for other people without their consent. Don't ignore other peoples posts. If you're going to kill someone's character, make sure you have their permission, first, admins can however kill any character who breaks the rules, also if a rper is banned any character will be killed

  • Have continuity. Don’t have your character be in 50 different open collabs at once. You know what we mean. and no golems that can act like you, if your person is in more than one place at the same time your character will be dumber and if this is done often (as in twice) your character will be killed by a member of demonic bounty hunters

  • Please refrain from posting in another member’s profile, only staff may post a review or helpful hint in him or her. We are sorry if this cramps any member's will to help, but it's a general politeness factor.

  • Use our application template or your application will be denied.

  • Leave the ooc out of the rp part and keep rp out of the cbox

  • Rules can be changed or added to in the future

  • Account most be named after the character it is in charge of (npcs and groups of npcs can go under any account) this does not mean you can't use a nickname as the account name, it just means the account name is what people would call the character assisted with your account

  • siggy/avi most be of your character

  • the link in sexuality must be kept, this is to see the real aspects of those sexuality

  • know your race's powers, strengths and weaknesses

  • you are allowed to make your own race, but to do so you most first make a intro to your character, going by what do they call what powers they have and the weapons they use, what sets them apart from other races and so on

  • harry potter wikia is a good place to get info

  • keep it PG, your people can still do stuff like make love (if they do it legally) but keep it clean and timeskip over it

  • one character per account

  • your character don't need to be a student or a teacher, any job is fine, the main reason the school is first is simply since there is where i posted it

  • this is an AU forum, meaning no cannon people, in this forum only ONE from the books is around, moaning mertle took the mantle of dark lord (since she was not killed and the morts didnt think of her as a treat), most dark or powerful who MIGHT have turned dark has been killed by the morts, but people like the malfoys would be around due to the fact they are not really worthy of being killed, they would never do anything big

  • the bard of boots rule, named so after one of the members here, if a topic is stuck waiting for a member other members in the topic is free to leave the topic until replies happens and when that happen they are allowed to be in two collabs at once
