Guidelines

• 
  
  
• I. Drama: I have zero tolerance for it outside of our characters' world. Not only do I not have the patience, but I do not have the energy to deal with it. In case you are unaware, this means anything that consists of backstabbing, blackmailing, gossiping--you catch my drift? That is not the reason we have gathered, but rather to write, interact and enjoy. Consider this your only warning for I will only provide a 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 proofread but, is hard to understand. Personally I put a lot of thought into my posts; Those are my personal 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 due to the nature of some of the content this character engages in is best suited for one of appropriate age. Most places state a minimum age of 16 but I will play it safe and I will appreciate the following of this simple guideline.
  
  IV. Maturity|Etiquette|Conduct: Since we are all adults, that means I will naturally 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 to anyone nor will I aim to disrespect 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: 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 or may not be naturally be very combative, it does not mean you are allowed to kill him. The same goes for controlling my character. He is mine and only mine to control such as I will not control your character. My character is strong but that does not mean he will automatically win a fight or dodge all attacks for here 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.
  
  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 him being an antagonistic character. I may like you but my character may or may not like yours and likewise. It should 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.
  
  VIII. Depiction of Mythology/Character: There are many different depictions of hellhounds, how they are structured, how they look, what they can do, etc. They range from simple designs with simple functions to god-like creatures. This is my character and this is what my imagination plus a bit of research has put together. I will attempt to remain as close to what is considered a classical hellhound but in this case, my character is a bit more unique than that. It will not be as accurate as most hellhounds usually are 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 but truthfully, 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 our paths must divide to go our separate ways. If you have a problem with me or perhaps misunderstand something I have said or feel I may have offended you please direct 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.

  contact me via RPR Messages or if you see me online on Malcolm.
  
  Also, feel free to run any and all plot ideas by me. I am very flexible but you are not to just assume I will accept it.
  
  
  With that being said, proceed at your own risk.
