RULES
The RP takes place in a small provincial village in Germany in the 1891. Players should make an effort to keep in the spirit of the era as much as possible in the main RP comm, such as no references to modern things, using somewhat formal speech patterns, etc. In the character journals, however, players can write like modern teens if they like. It is Spring Awakening, after all.
Characters may be embellished, of course. If you think your character plays a certain instrument, or has an interest in classical poetry or something, feel free to work that in! They're people and they would have interests. It's up to the player what happens to the characters, for the most part. There are a couple of exceptions, however. The rp plot starts a little bit before the plot of the musical. Eventually, there will be deaths. If you choose a character that dies in the show, they will die in the comm, eventually. But that's quite a way down the line, and their spirits remain, if nothing else, right?
Original Characters may be accepted in the future, but the canon characters should all be filled first.
Some adult situations will most likely occur. Post that deals with something that are graphic in nature or could be offensive should be placed under a cut. Feel free to post it, of course! But please be considerate. If it happens that you, as a player, don't want to participate in such things, that's quite alright as well. Blackouts can be used, or just avoid the storyline.
PBS: The use of PB icons is encouraged but not required. There are lots of pictures and icons out there if you would like to use an actor from the show. If not, please make an effort to have your PB appropriate. If they're not in period-appropriate costume, boys should be sort of well groomed, girls not showing cleavage, not a lot of make-up or any facial piercings, etc. The students range in age from 14 to late teens and the PB should also be age appropriate as well; if the PB isn't that young, they should at least look young.
Here are some examples:
left_behind is using OBC icons
quite_earnest is using appropriate non-cast icons
There is also a post here with many appropriate PBs.
A final note
It should go without mentioning (but of course will be mentioned that a no god-moding rule stands. If your character is going to do something that could harm another, please clear it with the other player's character first.
Also, do not make OOC issues IC. If you have a problem with another player, try to work it out and if you can't and can't keep the problem separate from your playing, don't play with them.
