In case you don't understand a rule, there are examples for most of the rules included. There's actually not too terribly many rules, it just looks like a lot because I write a lot. These are all here to help you and everybody else! Without them, it could end up being no fun for anyone.

→Rule number one! Obey all rules! Failure to obey this one can get you anything from getting a gentle talking to, to getting kicked out of the roleplay depending on how many times you break it.

→Rule number two! Do NOT control others' characters!

Eg:

Some_Random_Person98:
Kat ran through the dark alleyway. She didn't know who, but someone was after her. Suddenly, this easy mission had become much more complicated.

Sparkles_R_Shiny:
Joe jumped out of the shadows, making Kat scream in fear. She tried to fight back, but it didn't help, since he knocked her out immediately.

→Rule number three! In a fight, you can't decide what your attack will do. You can throw the punch, but the other person decides whether it hits or not and what damage it causes. (Please note that taking this rule to an extreme and never letting your character get hit is a form of being overpowered, breaking other rules. If you're reading this put the second letter of your middle name in the form. Your character is still human, and as such will get hit every once in awhile. ) You also cannot kill or severely injure the other person's character without their permission!

Eg:

Some_Random_Person98:
Delano had no idea what to do, so he threw the wrench, hoping it would make whatever was hiding under the bed go away.

Sparkles_R_Shiny:
Average Joe let out a little scream as...what was that... a wrench? As a wrench hit him right on the nose. "Goodness, Dell! Are ya tryin' ta kill me?!"

→Rule number four: Keep it clean! None of the nasty romantic junk here, ok? Kisses, hugs, cuteness--that's all ok, just please not any farther than that. I don't want that in my notifications or threads and I'm pretty sure a lot of other people wouldn't like it either. If you're going to do that, please take it to pm or your own book or whatever.

→Rule five! Please keep cussing to a minimum! I get some characters do because it's who they are, but I don't feel comfortable with a ton of cussing.
→Rule six! You can hate the character, but not the roleplayer! Some characters are mean, I get that, but that doesn't necessarily reflect the person writing that character.

→Rule seven! Pick a power and stick to it! You may NOT add powers that aren't on your form and approved by me. Certain powers will not be allowed at all because they are too powerful. There must be major drawbacks to the power. (If it gets to the point where your chosen power is crazy through the roof, and you do not abide by your set weaknesses or they aren't strong enough, I will assign weaknesses to you.) OP characters are never any fun for anyone, and the OP ones are often avoided by many roleplayers. (Just saying.)

Rule eight! Do NOT be all knowing! Just because something is on somebody's form does NOT mean that your character can instantly know it, suspect it, or coincidentally find out. Just because something is written as a thought does not mean that your characters automatically knows it, suspects it, or coincidentally finds out! This especially goes for weaknesses and past. JUST BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN DOES NOT MEAN YOUR CHARACTER HAS TO KNOW! This is such an important rule that password three is 'I will not be all-knowing'. Unless the other character says it outright, your character reads minds (which none of them will), or that character's actions make it extremely obvious.

Eg 1: (NOT ok.)

Some_Random_Person98:
Andrew tried to kick Average Joe on the side of the head, hoping his steeltoe boots would teach the guy a lesson. Nobody messed with the Psycho and got away with it!

Sparkles_R_Shiny:
Average Joe ducked his head to avoid the kick, then shot his fist up to hit Andrew's shin as it went over him.

Some_Random_Person98:
When his leg was hit, Andrew was knocked off balance and fell onto the ground.

Sparkles_R_Shiny (*reads form and sees Andrew's weakness*):
Seeing Andrew hit the ground, Joe instantly pinned him down. He had to keep him from coming after him again, but how? Joe reached into his pocket, pulling out a can of beer. Huh... Maybe he could just make Andrew drink it and maybe it could take care of him. Oh well, it was a long-shot, considering it was only one can of beer, but maybe it could do something. He opened the can and forced Andrew's mouth open as he poured it in, before hitting Andrew's throat in such a way that made him swallow it.

Some_Random_Person98:
And Andrew died a horrible death. :( RIP, Candy. (And RIP to you too, Sparkles!)

Eg 2 (NOT ok):

Some_Random_Person98:
Dr. Phillips looked over at Joe. On the outside, the doctor looked perfectly fatherly and compassionate like any doctor would be expected to act, but he really didn't like the guy and just wanted to leave. 'I just have to deal with one last idiot, then I can go home' He thought.

Sparkles_R_Shiny:
Joe sighed. "You don't have to help me if you don't want to. You obviously hate me and have better places to be right now."

Eg 3 (ok):

Sparkles_R_Shiny:
"Jordan! Did you break the door again?!" Joe shouted as he saw the door shattered into pieces and spread all over the floor.

Some_Random_Person98:
Jordan looked up at Joe. Oh darn! Busted! Mayday! Mayday! Red alert! How could he play this off? He had to be cool about this if Joe was going to believe him. Jordan put on his best 'I didn't do it!' smile, which honestly looked more like a grimace than a smile. "M-me? Noooo! Why would you assume that?" Nailed it! Nobody would suspect a thing!

Sparkles_R_Shiny:
Jordan obviously had no idea how truly bad he was at lying. It was painfully obvious. "Jordan! Again?! We've discussed this!"

...Did any of that make any sense? Oh well.

→Rule nine! Please write in third person and use at least decent grammar. This is to make it easier for people to understand what you're saying. Your grammer doesn't have to be perfect. I'm not going to go all grammar nazi on anybody because I mess up on grammar too, but quotation marks, putting periods between your sentences, and capitalization aren't that hard. Simple stuff like that makes misunderstanding much less likely...Plus, this is just one of my pet peeves.

Eg 1 (this is third person, and how it should be written.):

Kat looked over her shoulder. Phew! Nobody was there. She was so sure that she had been followed, but maybe it was just her overactive imagination.

Eg 2 (How the grammar should not be.):

jordan sat on the stairs he was waiting for somebody but they never showed up oh well i guess i could get some ice cream he said to himself

Eg 3 (How that last example would preferably be written.)

Jordan sat on the stairs. He was waiting for somebody, but they never showed up. "Oh well. I guess I could get some ice cream." He said to himself.

→Rule ten! Take it easy on the new roleplayers! If somebody is new to roleplay, just have a bit of patience! If you've never roleplayed before and you're joining this one, just let me know and you can start out with one of my characters so I can help you learn before going in with a bunch of people. :)

Rule eleven! Please put stuff that doesn't have to do with the roleplay in parentheses.

Eg:
Some_Random_Person98:
And then Andrew stomped away. He was not a jerk! He could do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted to and they couldn't stop him!
(Hey, I'm not going to be online later today. You guys keep going though! I'll catch up later.)

→Rule twelve! Please don't have your characters in multiple places at once. Unless your character has the power to be in two places at once, don't have them all over the place at the same time. Even if that's before or after the fact, it still restricts what you can do.

→Rule thirteen! Your characters' actions should have consequences! If your character uses its powers to the point they're going to drop, don't suddenly ignore that and them suddenly be alright. This is a more flexible rule, but it's also kind of important.

→This isn't a rule as much as a preference, but guys, please don't go crazy on a character who can't defend themselves. For instance, if they're a pacifist, don't go all ultimate-power-of-doom and biggest-guns-you-have crazy on them. That probably made zero sense. Basically, if your character has the highest level of power attainable to them, don't use that on people who can't fight back because they can't fight as well or are pacifists or something, ok? That makes it hard for the other person to figure out how they can get their character out alive and makes it no fun. Save the doom-lasers and death-rays for your big battles and don't be a bully.

→Have fun, guys! That's kind of the point of roleplay!

If you need anything, or have any questions, comments, concerns, or you want to report somebody for breaking the rules, or whatever just let me know!
