Hello, everyone! I'm Alexis, and I am the creator of this site. Here, we have a list of rules that you MUST follow. Not following the rules can result in warnings and eventually having your account banned. Now, please note, these are not the only rules you have to follow. Use your common sense! If it's something that you're not sure if it's allowed, PM a staff member! Current staff members are: Amarante Caitir
SECTION ONE:
CHARACTER CREATION
If you wish to create a character, you MUST follow these rules. Failure to do so will result in you not being able to use your character. Some of these are more of 'guidelines' than 'rules'
-If you want to be one of the Animorphs, you can sign up for them on the sign up page. This is an AU Role Play, so the characters like Cassie, Rachel, Jake, Marco, Ax and Tobias are not allowed. The Animorphs available in this roleplay are created in the minds of the staff, and put out there for you to play. There are six of them, as well as one Andalite, like in Animorphs. More information are on the plot and sign up pages.
-When you create a character, you MUST have permission from Amarante Caitir to make an Andalite or other morphing creature.
-Each character has a separate account! If you have, for example, 'Joe' and 'Jack', then 'Joe' and 'Jack' are the two separate accounts with the character name as the username.
-When you make your character, be sure that in the 'other/notes' section of the application has the codeword in it. Keep an eye out for the word you're looking for. You'll know when you see it. It is in the rules.
-In order to RP with your character, the admin or a moderator has to approve it first.
-Your character MUST have flaws, both personality and appearance. No perfect characters.
-If you would like a celebrity to be what your character looks like, you have to claim them in the Faceclaim board.
-Make sure you fill out the right form! There are different forms for different types of characters!
-You can make as many characters as you want, but make sure it's not more than you can handle, as there is an activity check every once in a while!SECTION TWO:
ROLE PLAY
-No one-liners, please! At least 150 words is recommended, but not required. RULE ADJUSTED 1/30/15
-When you create a thread, make sure you include in {}'s in the title whether it is an open thread or not. If it isn't, put the name of the person you are RP'ing with. For example; "Infestation {OPEN}" vs. "Infestation {Amarante}"
-Keep it PG 13! No graphic violence, and nothing sexual. Keep it 'SFW' (Safe for work)
-No Godmodding or Powerplaying! Don't make your character unable to be harmed, and don't control the characters of others!
-Use proper grammar. This is a literate role play, as well. This means, you write like you're writing a story, not like this; *Looks at Amarante* Hello there!
Here is the proper way vs. the improper way. The improper way is crossed out;*Looks at Amarante* Hello there!vs. As Jack looks at Amarante, he says, "Hello there!"
-Be careful with the topics you use. If you think it may be triggering for someone, try to avoid using it, or at least put a trigger warning. If you are unsure if something would be triggering, PM a staff member. The word you are looking for is 'B e r e n s o n' without the spaces.
-Keep swearing to a minimum! A little bit here and there is fine, but we don't want it on every single thread and post!
-If you need practice with role play, as a staff member! We're always willing to help!SECTION THREE:
OTHER RULES
-No bullying/abusing someone for any reason, whether it be age, gender, race, sexuality, or anything else!
-If you are having an issue with someone, either PM them, or tell a staff member. Do not confront them in a post or in the cbox!
-Keep advertising to the advertisement section! No ads in your signature.
-No gifs in signatures. They cause the site to move very slowly on mobile devices. Any with flashing colors/lights can trigger epilepsy, and are therefore a health hazard in some cases.
-If you include an image in a post or signature, it can be no more than 500 pixels wide, and 500 pixels tall. This takes up enough space at that size, and we don't want it stretching the board.
-Staff is allowed to tell you to stop doing something, even if it isn't stated in the rules, as we can't list all of it. If you refuse to listen, warnings or bans may take place on your account.
UPDATES: 1/26/15
Some quick updates I'd like to inform you all of! If you would like to apply for an Andalite character, fill out the same form you would for an Animorph. Also, PLEASE READ THE UPDATED PLOT! Right here!
