Games Rules
1. Canon is a guide. A basic understanding of canon events and elements is all that is required in order to be able to play in our game. However, you will need to learn and understand canon as it pertains to your character. For example, if you are playing a Batman-related character it would do you well to understand that Joker is a major Batman villain and how that came to be. Resources are available to help you with any required information. You will also be required to understand game canon so as to be able to properly play your character. Resources are available to help with this as well.
2. We're all adults; please behave that way. The Golden Rule goes a long way here.
3. Please check with your fellow players before doings things in game that directly effect or influence their characters. This goes double for creating characters. If you wish to create a character who is related to characters already in game, you must work that out with the other player prior to even submitting an application. Applications for characters that have not been pre-discussed with the players of related characters will not be voted on.
4. Game-related posts go in the game community; informational posts or questions go in the out of character community.
5. Plot writeups should be submitted to both the team they impact and the mods. This is strictly for informational purposes. There will be no "secret" plots allowed in this game. You can be very vague about elements of a plot, but all players have a right to see specifics upon request.
6. We do not have a character limit, but please use restraint when creating characters. Additionally, please play the characters you claim. There will be a one week waiting period between each new application per player.
7. Sex - Consensual - Smut is permitted in game provided it is below a cut and a note stating that explicit material is contained below said cut is posted.Sex - non-consensual - Off comm. Vague references to the event are permissible in game.
8. Please do not apply for characters or create plots designed simply for the purpose of character hookups or smut. These sort of things can stay on private journals.
9. Abuse - Everyone has a threshold. Please check with your fellow community members in regards to what levels of abuse they are comfortable with and any portrayal of abuse must go behind a cut with a tag warning of the content. Child abuse is not permissable, but if it is part of a character's background it can be referenced.
10. Fight fair, fight honest, and do not kill another player's character without their explicit permission and involvement.
11. Bendytime posts - Please feel free to have posts that are bendytimed to fit in, just make sure to check with impacted players to make sure it's okay with them.
12. If you RP something out in a character journal and want it to be part of game canon, you must link to it in a post in game for it to be considered part of game canon. Do not just post a naked link, please incorporate it as part of a larger plot.
14. Any changes to powers, additional powers, new tech, tech upgrades etc need mod approval.
15. Leaving the game - People leave for various reasons and since most characters in the game are OCs there are a few ways to deal with them leaving:
- Write your character out. - Wrap up any threads and plots they may be in and have them go off into the sunset.
- Let someone in the game write them out if you can't finish plots and threads for some reason.
- Hand the character over as an NPC
If you do not exit your character from game yourself, the mods will exitthem with a simple mention that the character has left to go somewhere else. They may be referred to as part of game history, but will not be played or included in situations from that point forward.
