Welcome to Chicago Scene. Chicago Scene is an PB based community set in of course, Chicago, IL. Everyone is welcome here, whether you are a rockstar, a myspace whore, a scene queen, a movie star or someone's girlfriend. We want variety, although OC's are not accepted. Once accepted, it would be appreciated if you were to post a public entry about your character's history and personality and anything that we should know in the same post as your friend's only banner. If you are unsure how to do this, ask the mod.Your Your Character's are NOT to know this information unless told by the other character themselves.
Character's journals should be updated at least every 2 weeks. We dont need anything epic as your update, as long as it is at least two short paragraphs, just letting everyone know what has been going on in your character's life. Activeness is the key. Post videos, pictures, lyrics, anything as long as it is acceptable. Video's and pictures should be placed under a cut to save friends' pages.
It is important that you make your entries Friends Only and have a disclaimer somewhere in your journal to let people know you are not the person you are using. The last thing is we need is to have someone's journal on the front page of someone's fan site or have our asses sued.
Mpreg is NOT allowed in this community, although female pregnancy is, if cleared with the mod first. Major story lines like drug use, rape, cutting etc do not need to be cleared with the mod, however do not overuse these issues. Characters CANNOT be killed off. Try to keep the 'EMO' posts to a mimimum. It gets annoying reading the same thing over and over again. If we hear complaints or dont like the way you're going about playing your role, you will be spoken to by the mod.
Please be on AIM as much as you can because this is how you will interact with each other. Random group chats are encouraged.
Your screen name and journal should have at least your character's first or last name in it somewhere, for example, jaredlikesboys is accepted, but iwantyou is not.
NO GOD MODDING. This is very important. It shouldnt have to be explained. If you feel someone is God modding, contact the mod.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the mod

Holds last for 48 hours. No anonymous holds, since they can't be trusted. Adds will be done as quickly as possible.
The most important rule in any role play: keep IC and OOC separate. If you get told something OOC, do not bring it IC. If you have a problem with one of the character's players, do not let it come IC, deal with it OOC. We don't want it here. If you are being attacked OOC, address the mod. One warning only, then you're out.
Put in the subject line of your application whether your character is a teacher or a student, just so we know the rules have been read. If this is missed, you will not be accepted. Once accepted, post an intro into the intro community within 5 days or you will be removed.
Please interact with as many people as possible in the community, don't just ignore everyone else because you already have a storyline. Nobody likes cliques. It is appreciated that you pimp the community in rpgspbadz and pb_pimp at least once a day to get more members.
Please keep drama to a minimum and do not single out other players and their characters. If you hate someone's character in real life, that doesnt mean your character has to hate them for no reason. Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy does not exist here, therefore your character cannot hate on him for it.
We allow slash and fem in this community along with straight relationships.
That just about sums it up. Have fun and remember, it's just a game!
