No God-Like Characters: Characters must act in accordance with the group dynamic and story. No
“GOD” like characters will be accepted into the group for any reason. This rule ensures that other player's characters will be able to flourish and that no player characters experience being “stomped” over by one particular person. It also allows balanced power play allowing synergy and dynamic story development, a level playing field. Please refer to the character
“classes” section for reference. Note that there are two distinct categories
“playable” and
“assigned". All classes under the
"assigned" category must first be discussed and approved by an admin. Supernatural characters are certainly allowed and encouraged, however not to the point where it may impede on other players and their concurrent stories and characters.
No Anonymous Characters: Anonymous Characters will be
automatically rejected in the application process. If you wish to keep your character(s) anonymous you have the right, but to apply to the group is a privilege. If you wish to keep your character(s) anonymous, you will have to disclose yourself to at least
one admin and
group owner. This is to maintain the security and safety of the group!
No One-Liners: D.E.A.T.H. is made up of writers who enjoy literature and multi-paragraph responses. It is for this reason that the group
requires at least one paragraph per post rather than one sentence.
"One-Liners", can limit the creativity and overall flow of the story. Violating this rule will first be addressed by a
warning from admin staff, further violations result in up to and including
removal from the group.
No OOC Drama: This is a
drama free zone. If there are any issues regarding a particular group member or character, we ask that you bring the issue to any
group admin. We want to keep the spirit group as fun and stress free! Drama will
not be tolerated under any circumstance and may result in a temporary or permanent ban from the group, depending upon the severity and intention.
Respect Player Boundaries And Character Boundaries: First respect that there is a division and separation between a player and their character.
Players are NOT their
characters.
Characters are NOT their
players. Please be able to decipher the difference between the two. Discussion of plot lines is heavily encouraged within this group, given the dark and cruel nature of some of the themes available with the group's plot and story arch.
Accounting for and
respecting individual players
comfort zones and triggers is not something that is feasible for the admin staff to keep track of and is
your personal responsibility as role players to discuss plot lines and boundaries amongst each other. Roleplay is meant to be
collaborative and we want everyone to feel comfortable within the confines of the group.
