da RULES

[Wandlore]

The Characters:

Characters must be believable. No complete geniuses, no perfect looking or gets all the girls or guys type people. Mary-Sue’s we call them.

But also, we don’t want characters that run around depressed all the time, with a completely tragic life story. If your character is like that, contact me first. We don't mind a couple tragidies, but no "Kill me or I'll do it myself." said Johny as he stood on the edge of the Astronomy tower. type kids, okay? Remember, believeable.

Post the applications in “Custom Characters” or "Canon Characters" and wait for them to be reviewed. Be patient, we cannot be on 24/7, though we try our best.

You may have as many characters as you wish, but there is a catch. Since we don't need too many girls, we require that for every FEMALE you have, the next character you create has to be a male. It helps keep gender ratio closer to even. C'mon, people, it's not that hard.

Have either a 100X100 icon, or a signature of some sort displaying your character’s celebrity. It is a quick visual reference for those you role play with.

Characters may swear as much as they wish, but please, do not go overboard. I do not wish to see swear words every other word.

Applications && Regestering:

You MUST reserve a character if they are a canon. Not nessesary for originals, but for canon's you must.

For your ACCOUNT, make the display name the name we call you. This makes it easier if we have multiple characters on one account, but also you MUST have your characters name in your signature somehow.

Your applications is to be titled as so: LASTNAME, first name. EX: POTTER, james

Post your application at the bottom of the "Custom Character" board or "Canon Characters", if it is not finnished it will go in the Work In Progress sub-board, other wise just create a thread in that board.

Please, do your best in your profile/application as it is how we will be able to tell how literate you are, and whether or not you will be able to keep up with what we ask of you.

So, you're a Quidditch player are you? Simply put in the application for your character that you are a Quidditch player, somewhere in the likes section, and mention which position they play. Then the admins will add you to the house team, if the position is full you will be PM'd about the situation, and you can either choose a new position, or choose to not be on the team. When the team is filled, the admins will choose the captians.

Do not post anywhere until your application has been approved. Not hard, we are on every day to look over this stuff. If we do not get to it in two days, you may contact one of us to remind us, especially if one of us asked you to make changes to your application.


Plot && Sub-Plots:

If your characters are involved in the main plot, then they really have got to be active. Every character is important and to get this thing moving we need would like everyone to be on daily if possible.

If your character is involved in a sub-plot then the same general idea, they need to be active to keep those plots going. They are all interesting enough that they should not be too hard to play out. Use your imiganations and come to an admin if you need help.

Have an idea for a sub-plot do you? Submit it to an admin in a PM, and we will review it, and if we like it we will add it, and add the canon's to the list and credit it to you. That will also earn you a couple house points.

House Points:

Basically, since Hogwarts has always had the little game of house points, we have that here aswell. The way you get house points is if an admin finds a particularly good post of yours, you have a high number of posts (without all of them being spam in OOC boards), you refer someone to the site that joins, or if you submit a subplot that gets chosen. If you have multiple characters either your points will get split up amung them or you can tell me which house you would like the full amount of points to go to.

Out of Character:

Be kind to everyone, we are all trying to have fun here.

Don’t swear a lot; especially toward anyone.

Signatures are not allowed to stretch the boards. The maximum size for them is 500X200.

R E S P E C T the S T A F F

When your in the OOC boards, have fun, and go crazy but remember to stay as literate as possible. Don't go from amazingly literate to tlking lyk dis. Kay?

The Admins:

Respect all the admins equally. If you think we are unfair, then talk to us, we are reasonable about most things. Obviously the rules are to be followed but circumstances can change.

To become an admin, you can PM Meggie and tell her you are interested. If you have proven you can stay active and are trustworthy, you may be chosen as an administartor or a moderator. Please understand if you do not get anything. We can only have so many admins for the amount of members on the forum.

Role Playing:

If a thread is specifically for two or so characters put [closed] or the characters name in the brackets. If it is for anyone to join put [open] in the brackets, or in the title somewhere specifically.

If the thread is getting a little far into a relationship or drug use, put a rating in the title, either PG-13, or R. Obviously you know the difference between PG-13 and R. I think 13 year olds can handle drugs and such, but if you're going to have full on sex in your roleplay please rate it R so we know what we're walking into, thank you.

This is a LITERATE site, and for each post to be at least two GOOD paragraphs long is not that hard. If you cannot come up with two paragraphs make sure it is at least a minimum of 150 words.

The rules are subject to change as the forum grows!
