  • Information for Newcomers

    BranchWood Academy is a group developed and created for telling a story with your characters becoming a main piece to the storyline.

    Due to this unique factor of BranchWood Academy, there are a few things that you should do to get yourself settled within the group before you join the main RP.

    1. A Character joining BranchWood Academy should be an OC (Original Character) of your own. We will not be accepting characters that are based off other content.

    2. Each player is allowed to have at least one or two characters within BranchWood Academy. If you are able to keep up with all posts, than you are allowed to keep your second character in the group. If you are unable to keep up with two characters, than please only enter with one.

    3. Characters should create an introduction topic for their character found here in this forum. ---> Introduction Page <--- This will allow current members of BranchWood Academy to get a generalized feel of your character early on before RPing with them. This introduction section should be a quick description of whatever you think is important.

    4. BranchWood Academy also brings a few unique features along with it. One of these key features is the fact that individuals will be partnered up with each other within Squads. To get a better understanding of squads visit this location. These squads will play a key roll within BranchWood Academy and allow for a unique environment for individuals to RP within. To either find a squad or start looking to gather people for your own, use this forum.

    5. If you have any further questions dealing with this group please feel free to contact me or leave a question within the group forum location specified for such.

  • Out of Character - Rules

    1. BranchWood Academy is an 'In Character' group in which we, as individuals, are to partake within the Academy known as BranchWood Academy. This being said, all 'Out of Character' posts will be deleted within the following forums.

      All 'Out of Character' discussions that would take place on these forums should be taken into Private Messaging. This is to avoid heavy clutter within the forums and allow for fluent story movement.

    2. All individuals in BranchWood Academy are to treat each other with the utmost respect. After all, we are all here for the fun of roleplaying.

      If for some reason, a problem does manage to emerge from the depths, please don't be shy to come forward and Contact me. I will approach the subject and talk to the individual to avoid any further problems.

  • In Character - Rules

    1. BranchWood Academy is a plot driven story which has a beginning and an end. Characters within BranchWood Academy can somewhat influence the path the story will take with their actions. However, the story will always have a set beginning and ending. We require you to have at least one paragraph minimum when posting within The Story Advancement forum.

    2. Characters entering BranchWood Academy will have a limit placed upon them, if they are found to be too strong. The idea of BranchWood Academy is to have character development over time with a wide group of individuals. If you already know all things inside and out, it would make your character static. We want to have a unique environment, where everyone learns and grows together at their own pace.

      This information may be subject to change, depending upon your characters' year and experiences. (These must be discussed through Private Messaging).

    3. The story will have boundaries set and there shall be no breaking of the fourth wall. A joke here or there is fine. However, when references are made nonstop, it tends to ruin the atmosphere of the story of which, we should be emerged in.

    4. Characters will only be able to enter BranchWood Academy by the age of sixteen or older. This, however, does not apply to actual players of the characters.

    5. All of the characters, in BranchWood Academy, are required to play a role in the Squad System. Characters are allowed to be lone wolves if discussed early on. However, a lone wolf will not be able to participate within Squad Missions. This rule is created to allow for more connections between players and allow for a more tightly knit community.
