This is the site's basic rules. Please, make sure that you read these considering that this is one of the most important posts in the forum.
1) Respect each and every member. This means everyone! I'm sure you'd understand this... do not say anything offensive and do not start any fights on the boards or in private messages, etc; we want this forum to have a friendly environment! If you have any problems, contact an admin to sort it out.
2) If you have any questions, suggestions, thoughts or problems, be certain that you can PM any of the staff. We'd be happy to help you out plus we'll try and be open to what you are saying, we're all friends here, right? In return for our understanding, you must understand as well.
3) Be as active as possible, this will create a good site for all of us to role-play on and it will keep things moving. If you are unable to be online then create a post in the Absences board or PM an admin about your absence. Do whatever you can to let us know! If you are away for a long time, your member title can be changed to "hiatus."
4) No god-modding. You have power over yourself and no one else. If you want something to happen between two characters, I'm sure that you can talk to them about it over PM.
5) Characters on this site are all human; therefore, please try and be realistic and consider what your character is capable of doing. Everyone has weaknesses and flaws, so no power-playing or mary-sueing, but do not over-do it! If staff feel that your character is too "perfect" or too anti-perfect, we will contact you about it.
6) You may have as many characters as you like! There is no need of informing an admin before you make an account, we'll know it's you. But try to keep active with each and every one of them. Also you are to have one character per account; although, there are only a few exceptions to this rule, for example: if your characters are twins or close relatives!
• Note: All your accounts on BLOOD REVOLUTION must have a name pertaining to your character somehow (it can be an alias, their full name, etc)! In addition, we would prefer it if names were Japanese (due to the fact, this site is based here) but this may not be the case for all characters as their is a chance of foreigners from other countries.
7) Have a variaty of characters! I don't want to see that the majority of characters on the site are high school and university students; there should be characters of all ages! Adults, parents, young children... don't limit yourself because there'll always be lots of plot options for each!
8) Your posts can be written in any style you want; however, it is compulsory to write in third person! As well, one sentence replies will just look too ridiculous and we want to see some effort put into your posts! This site is not necessarily a beginner's site but neither do we expect you to write a novel, what we want is effort! Grammar is your best buddy! Please spell check and capitalize whenever appropriate. Read through your post when you are done in order to correct any typos or errors.
9) You are not allowed to kill someone else's character without permission of an admin AND the person. In some circumstances, killing off a character will be allowed but in others, they will not, so please consider this.
10) No spamming! Do not advertise your site (or sites that you are on) to other members over PM, it is not only rude but it seems to be extremely low and desperate. Advertising role-play forums in your signatures and your profiles is prohibited. There's a board for that and please respect the policy that is placed there!
11) You can go ahead role-playing while you wait to get your account set up but make sure that you leave out some things in your posts that need to be accepted first. Admins need to get organized, too!
12) Stay as active. Post as often as you can to keep this site alive and breathing! =]
13) Please, have fun! That's what this site is was made for; therefore, you MUST have fun xD Go wild!
We're glad to have you with us!
~ The Staff of BLOOD REVOLUTION!
