Roleplay Rules
Generalized Rp Rules
(There are exceptions to almost all of these as long as everyone agrees prior to it)
1. It is recommended you try to match length
2. No meta gaming.
3. No God modding.
4. No controlling other people's characters.
5. No OOC chat in the IC channels.
6. If there are parties that agree to kill a character(s), inform a mod and we will monitor a character's death scene.
7. After your character's death, you will be asked to make another. If you want to bring back a character, you will have to discuss with the mods on how you want to bring back a character in the help-desk channel.
8. If your characters are going to do something nsfw, please take it off server. We don't endorse NSFW rps here and follow discord TOS.
9. Reply to the person you are currently RPing with to avoid confusion, use threads if multiple characters are in different locations.
10. No auto-hitting.
11. If there is a scene you would like to join, please ask the people in current scene before you are allowed to join.
12. Your character can only appear at one location at a time.
Character or Npc?
In this server we have two main classifications for making the denizens of this universe. Character VS Npc.
A character is controlled only by one person, with a thorough backstory, physical appearance, and connections to the world. Characters can only belong to one person at a time, although can be traded. Characters are the 'main' driving force of the plot, and hold precedence over npcs. They are simply valued more by the plot, and its demands.
A npc is controlled by multiple people and mods. An npc does not need a fleshed out backstory, physical appears, or connections, although it is encouraged. Npcs can belong to multiple people, or as community based props for a story. Examples of npcs might include: Police officers, dog catchers, other wild animals, prey animals, owners, random pets. Npcs die and live based on need, and don't have as much 'value' to the plot as characters. An npc can be created along with characters, and often coincide.
Character Creation Rules
-
1. When creating a character, we ask you that you do not make your character over powered (OP.) If we find that your character violates this rule, you will be asked to change it accordingly. If you fail to change, your character will be declined and unable to participate in the roleplay with character.
2. There is no limit on how many characters you may have in the roleplay, but it is recommended that you have a minimum of two characters. After you have submitted your character, the mods will review them. They will marked with either "Approved" or "Declined", if your character has been declined, revert to rule #1.
3. If you are creating a character that you would like have something special (mutations etc) ask a mod before implementing these features.
4. Follow the Biography Template, but feel free to add any extra sections if you wish.
5. If you are having trouble making your biography, ask a mod and we will happily assist you.
6. Always check the canon character list in the Discord group incase of double names and face claims.
7. Please have fair character stats!
Improving Roleplay
There are other very effective ways to learn and improve your skills. Here are two other methods:
- Observe: Personally, I've learned a lot from simply observing other characters. I'll often go into OOC mode and simply watch how other characters interact with each other, and learn different approaches to roleplay. Later, I'll try them out, and see if they work for me! Experimentation is key.
- Ask: Don't be afraid to ask for help! If you're confused on how your character would react, or how your environment would affect your character, ask someone! Most of the time, players give useful input and tips on how to better your roleplay. Players can be useful resources. Use them.
