Guidelines
-
I.Drama: An absolute no outside of anything but within our characters' world. I not do not have the patience but I do not have the energy to tolerate drama. That is not the reason we are gathered or have come together but rather to write, interact and enjoy. Consider this your only warning for I will only provide one gentle reminder of this rule.
II.Grammar|Spelling|Post Lengths: Granted we all come from different backgrounds, cultures and upbringings but it still must be said. Please do not send me a post that was evidently, not only not proofread, but it is hard to understand. Personally I put a lot of thought into my posts, but those are my standards. Same rule applies to spelling, as you have google and spellcheck at your disposal to aide you. I do not expect you to post multiple paragraphs, but I think 5-7 sentences is a fair expectation for a post. Please keep in mind that a post can consist of your character's thoughts alone and take up that length and more. All I ask is you show effort and all will be fine.
III. Age Requirement: This requirement is pretty straightforward: 18 years of age and above only. The rationale behind this requirement is that due to the nature of some of the content this character engages in it is best to be of an appropriate age to be able to handle it. Most places state a minimum age of 16 but I will play it safe and I will appreciate the following of this simple guideline. I'd rather be playing among adults.
IV. Maturity|Etiquette|Conduct: Since we are all adults, that means I will expect you to act like an adult. With this comes showing me the same courtesy and respect I give you. I will never intentionally be rude or disrespectful to anyone I come into contact with. All I ask is that you show me the same courtesy. The way you conduct yourself will speak volumes on your character as a person, so conduct yourself appropriately. Be yourself, but be courteous and respectful. Everyone has the potential to be friends, but it is how the individual goes about portraying themselves that will set the stage for the rest.
V. Consent|Godmodding|Powerplay|Autohitting|Twinking: Any and all RP ideas must be discussed with me. If I have not given you permission to maim or kill my character, then you are not allowed to do it. While my character may naturally be very combative as an antagonist, it does not mean you are allowed to kill her. The same goes for controlling my character. She is mine and only mine to control such as I will not control your character. My character is only as powerful as the average werewolf, which means she will not automatically win a fight or dodge all attacks. We play fair and if dice must be introduced, then so they shall. Just as I will not assume my attacks hit, do not assume yours will too. My favorite method of RPing fights is to discuss everything with the player. You are not obligated to, but the suggestion is there. Another thing to bare in mind is that I will not tolerate twinking from anyone. Twinking is when a person stops replying or leaves the RP altogether, often times without a word, to avoid the consequences or results of an interaction (such as a fight, attack, etc.). If you do this and the next time I see you, it was not because of real-life circumstances (job, family, emergency, etc.), we will not be RPing again. It is rude and I will not stand for it.
VI. IC ↔ OOC:In character does not equate to Out of Character and vice versa. Please do not take anything my character does personally, especially with her being a bit of an antagonistic character. I may like you, but my character may not like yours and vice-versa. It will be smooth sailing if we can follow this for they are literally two separate planes. Please note this also falls under this rule: Do not assume OOC knowledge in IC unless cleared by me and I will do the same for you.
VII. Seeking Roleplay/Plotlines|Timely Responses: If you wish to RP with me or want to pitch plot ideas, please do not hesitate to let me know. Do not just throw posts at me without even the courtesy of asking if I have time to sit down and RP with you. This also applies if I am simply watching an RP taking place. I might also like to add that while I may be available to RP with you there may be a slight delay in my posts so I ask for you to be patient with me as I am trying my best. Often times Real Life does not cooperate or make it easy for me. If you cannot understand this or do not wish to RP with me then I respect that.
Please note my availability times located on my RPR profile as it could also affect my post responses and plans for RP.
VIII. Depiction of Mythology/Character: There are different interpretations of how werewolves should be played. This is my character, not yours. You will never hear me tell you how to play your character, because it is rude. It may not be as accurate as most believe it to be but that does not matter. This is my character and I will play him as I wish. Please respect that and do not speak ill of it. I appreciate constructive criticism and suggestions are always welcome, but unless I ask for your opinion keep it to yourself.
IX. Conflict|Misunderstandings|Communication: I am a firm believer that 99% of conflict can be resolved through talking. If this cannot be, then we go our separate ways. If you have a problem with me or perhaps misunderstood something I have said or feel I may have offended you, please bring it to me directly. I am easy to talk to as I would like to believe and I know I am very laid back. Without communication, life would cease to function and I do not believe anyone has the time or energy for unnecessarily conflicts. Let us all get along as harmoniously as possible.
X. Enjoy Yourself: I am here to enjoy myself and also to bring enjoyment to others. If you are not enjoying yourself please inform me so that perhaps we may change or adjust things. Sometimes it is about changing the setting or context within reason. If it doesn't work out then we know we gave it our best shot but in the end, we are here as writers to express ourselves through our characters. We find relief and freedom through our creativity.
