We apologize in advance for the rules. They are on the long side to some, but we just want common sense being played (which isn't so common anymore) and organization. So, if you read all the rules, thank you very much!

--•In Character•--
1.) No GM; God-Molding. In meaning being powerful, as if acting indestructible or almost acting like a god, demi-god, etc. They will not be tolerated and will not be accepted into Twilights Rain, unless for plot reasons we will allow. Plots that will soon come up whence new members have joined.[/size]
2.) No PP; Power-Playing or auto-hit. Meaning that you automatically hit or damage your opponent. You must first ask for permission before doing so or unless both role players have come to a reason, or they have given permission. Do not do it on your own free will. For a first offense, we will let it slide. Your Character cannot be perfect in anyway, shape, or form.
3.) When you join, you should join as your characters name or some kind of name or alias, then change it to your characters’ name, Full name, nickname, or first name of your character; you choose. Also, when you join, you only RP one, and I mean ONE character on that account; though you may RP in many threads at the same time. If you desire more characters; make another account, just be active on both of them. When you do join, remember to have a PB for your character so no one has the same one and appears to be your characters twin. If someone has your PB, don’t bitch, just pick another. You may choose a PB of anime or real life; simply pick, state, and we’ll add. Also please have your signature and avatar of the character of that account.--•You must post in this correct format for all character in the sub-boards•--
The correct formats that you may choose.
4.) Fights? They may be as graphic as you may like. Be creative and have fun, but if one asks for you to dim down, please listen and comply with their request. If you want a character to die? Post that they can die, and ask if you may critically injure another RP character to the point of death, or kill. If your character does die, when they die, please move their profile to the graveyard, or tell a staff to do so and they will title it "deceased" or something of the sorts to let everyone know for that time. Also, your character can be revived, though it is highly unlikely.
5.) No despies! Despies as in meaning RP characters that look for any possible chance to have romance and or interact. There is no rush, so please be patient. Love takes time, even in real like, alright, get used to it >>;;
6.) Magic. Now, there are magic persona in Fantasy genres yes? Well, here in Twilights Rain, it is the same. Just like in a game, you have to start out with few, weak, common, lesser spells that do not do much. As you role play more your character has the permission to grow in magic power and are allowed to use more rapid and powerful spells. Only if it is for a plot, with permission, may people or creatures start out with extremely strong magic spells.
7.) Cursing, bad language, insults, can be used on role playing characters, not the person or people playing them. They are allowed in Twilights Rain but just keep them down. Not in every post or what-not. Meaning keep it down to a minimum and don not use it at another member directly.
8.) Mating. It is allowed in Twilights Rain, and is available for the ages 18+, or if you are not offended by any means, may enter, boo. Mating is only allowed but put it into a "Fade to Black" case. And for the younger viewers just simply put three words, they.made.love. or some damned thing...we get...the idea... Dx In which, any race may have any relationship with another race. Also, it is medieval times, there can be more than one marriage, oddly.
9.) We will try and not be pushy so at least five to six sentences MINIMUM; which is one paragraph. The REQUIREMENT is TWO PARAGRAPHS per pot! Got it? I mean, there is a lot more to type ^^ So that is the limit per paragraph, but feel free to go over that. The reason two paragraphs is so that other members may enjoy Role Playing and have more persuasion to interact with your character. Detail your work if need be, but don't say it is short, I can not take that; especially when it is way more than three sentences. If you can not Role Play that well, there is a board somewheres that you can ask to improve on. We will help, but do not complain if a staff member or another member says to upgrade your post. =D
10.) To make things more on the organized side, we suggest that if your character made enemies or friend in this RP that you simply add them in their profile alright? You do not have to do this, but it will make things easier as well as posting which board they are in currently, so that other members know.
11.) Now. With profiles, to make it more easier to handle and to deal with, please post a thread for each character. Now if it is a pet of the main character than it is alright, but if they both are main characters, please use two different boards. Not that hard really.
12.) SPELL CHECK PEOPLES! It is truly annoying when you have words like "wre" and you don't know if it is "were" "we" "we're" whatever! It is not that hard and this site has spell check for you. It is located at the bottom of your post sheet >>;; Modify Post, Preview, SPELL CHECK, and reset. See, it is there so please use it. I can understand if it doesn't work all the time,but please >>;;
13.) Since a few people, including me myself, forgot where they posted and made people wait, if you do not know if there is anything to reply to, you can ask, but I would prefer if you "BOOKMARK" all the boards you are in. That way, you can keep track of where all your characters are. That is all. ^^
14.) Before you begin role playing your character must be accepted by any Staff member, meaning Administrators in general. If they give you an okay, meaning they move your thread, you may Role Play. If your character profile has not been accepted after 48 hours, you may begin to role play, but once a staff member tells you it needs to be improve, please improve it, but if its accepted, carry on. ^^[/blockquote]
--•Out of Character•--
1.) If there is a new term or word that perhaps you made up or thought was neat and wanted to use form another source, PM Jack and he will add it into his little Dictionary. It helps if you forgot a thing or two, or three or...[/size]
2.) "d0unt t4lk lik d1s yo, k?" For people know English, not that mumble-jumble... Meaning no chat speak, unless it is a question that needed answering, brb, lol, etc., otherwise it gets aggravating and annoying.
3.) Thievery; Stealing, NO-NO! If anyone catches or spots these ideas, plots, characters, etc., without permission will be banned until the problem is somehow resolved by whatever means. >:K This includes art, story-lines, introductions, and even plots and stuff not listed. How would you feel if all your stuff was taken? I would want to DESTROY YOU ALL. =]
4.) I do not want to see any links to porn sights or graphic pictures in profiles >>;; meaning so "see" the stuff that you ain't supposed to >>;; Also, signature size... must be appropriate and must be a decent size, not to big or that gets annoying and may get on peoples nerves. If you disobey this, I will just take it off and put the link in its place.
5.) In the C-Box (CHAT BOX), is for fun quick chats. (We don't bite, much.) But, if you advertise another ProBoard or bother our members you will be flagged for suspension or deletion, unless you have been asked and the staff member gives you the OK. However, in the C-Box if you cuss, don't cuss at fellow members/admins, only if it is a joke and they know. If you continuously cuss for no reason you'll be flagged. Simple? Please, don't complain about your life in the C-Box. We can't do anything about it. That’s too bad, go talk to a family member not us. If suicidal you need a doctor. KTHX -.-;;
6.) Do. Not. Spam. Anyone’s. PMs.
this will result in members leaving and reps fallen. Please don't constantly remind your contact to answer or look at his/hers PMs. It's annoying and don't tell them what to do. Admins have the last say in anything.
7.) Admins and other staff are the only people that can have special characters in their name. This makes them stand out and people know they are an admin. Admins are free to leave their names as be though. Members may not have this ability. If a member goes against this, admin will change their name. So don't. It's easier for all. Also when you join, do not have underscores for it does not work in the first place and don’t have user-names like (I will use mine on another site) _killerz_spree_, you can just be called Killerz it is simple as that or dogpuppy1537675687645376453333333333, don't do that, for there is not even a dogpuppy1...okie, sorry for being a bitch about that. xD
8.) For staff! If you're and admin, co-admin, or mod, do not abuse your admin powers to tear up the site, harass other members, or boast about them to other members. It is annoying and even I am one with power and it...bothers me. Use your powers to help the site not rend it up; gerrr! Threats will not be tolerated and I will personally get my whomp-ass stick!
9.) The music box below the CBox is "STAFF REQUEST" only. Meaning, only STAFF members may ask for a song to be placed there. Remember, 2 per moderator, 3 for co-administrator, and 4 for administrator. Don't like it, oh well... be nicer... and the numbers might change. Please keep the music down for we don't have so many! There might be exceptions, just do not add your own if you are another staff member, contact ME, or Fire.
10.) If you want a sub-title, you may PM a staff member to change it. Make it appropriate and not so darn long. I might change it and ask if it is alright... you can always refuse things... free country...
11.) Respect the admins and creator. If one gets into a fight, please either:
A) Take it to PM; we really don't need complaints on the CBox.
B) Contact an admin (or another admin if it is one you are fighting to)
[/i]B) Contact an admin (or another admin if it is one you are fighting to)
C) Ignore the person or just say your sorry, even though you're not.
I have been in fights, and I am the stubborn fool, so learn, please. =][/center]
