Characters

• One account per character. Even if you're playing identical twins i want a account for each one.
  
• You can have as many accounts as you like, but you must remain active on them all.
  
• No hearts or anythings in your name. Just your characters first and last name. Capital letters please.
  
• No anime pictures for signatures. Real celebrities please.
  
• No nudity in signatures please.
  
• Feel free to have pets, but these are not to be role played on a separate account.
  
• The words are joan jett
  
• I've mentioned this on the characters list but will say again here. You can change a canon celebrity, but you can not change their name or their alliance.

Role playing

• Grammar. Capital letters and full stops please.
  
• Spelling. There's a spell check for a reason. Use it!
  
• Please no text language in character. I have no objects when out of character but not when in.
  
• Role play in third person. This is what i do not want to see.
  
  I walked into a room and looked around. I saw someone in the corner. I walked over to them.
  
  This is what is acceptable on this site
  
  Lily walked into the empty room. She glanced around hoping to see someone and thankfully she did, sat in the far left corner. She grinned and moved over toward them.
  
  See how much nicer that is? If you're still unsure on whats good role playing and what isn't feel free to personal message me and i will help where i can.
  
• No God moding! For those who are new to role play and don't know what it is thats when you control another character. For example.
  
  Lily punched James. It smacked him hard in the mouth and he fell back spitting out his own blood. << God moding!
  
  What would be acceptable for that would be
  
  Lily clenched her fist and in one quick moment lunched toward James, throwing a hard punch toward him. << Not God moding.
  
  Once again, mail me if you need more information.
  
• Posts must be at least 2 paragraphs.
  
• No one liners, they are horrible to post back to.
  
• If you want to reserve a thread for a member thats fine, just put their name in the title. Or put closed in the title and pm the member you would like to role play with.
  
• A thread will be thought to be open if it doesn't have a characters name or closed in the title.
  
• Refrain from double posting. It looks tacky and horrible. Only do it if a thread has been dead for a week or more without reason.
  
• When a thread is finished please add finished to the title or personal message myself so i can move the thread to the thread bank.
