rules !

one. respect ! please please please respect everyone on the sight. this is the golden rule, so don't break it. under this category i'd like to add, whatever goes on in-character must STAY in-character, do not take it personal.
two. this site's general rating is pg-13. proboards requires you to be at least 13 years old, therefore let's keep it pg-13. swearing occasionally, sex, drugs, and violence are (of course) allowed since this is a real life based RP. if there are sex scenes let's put a rating on the thread, if you want to write an NC-17 post WARN US FIRST!
three. to go along with rule #2, everything has a consequence. if you decide to steal something you might get caught. if your character has sex PM an admin to find out of the character gets pregnant or not. the duration time for the pregnancy is four to five months.
four. this site is for everyone! now that being said I HATE one-liners. they really piss me off. i'm making the minimum post requirement 145 words (excluding text messages/IMs), which shouldn't be too hard. to go along with this grammar is essential, i know we're not all great at it but at least use spell check! i'd also like it if you made all posts in size 1 font, unless you are making it pretty ;]
five. concerning avatars. of course you are required to have an avatar with your character's face on it. every play-by is required to be a real person, and let's be realistic about the ages here! i don't want to see alessandra ambrosio playing a freshman or taylor momsen playing a senior! having said that, i don't want anime characters. your play-by has to be a real person, all those buzznet/myspace/facebook are allowed but let's not be run over by emo/scene/goth, not everyone is emo/scene/goth
six. activity is key! i know we all have real lives besides the internet. i'm not requiring you to post every single day of the week, but two times a week is the absolute minimum. if it's a text message or an IM it still counts! please do not join if you're not going to be active, that is just plain old annoying!
seven. regarding character creation, mary sues/gary stus are frowned upon. also not everyone is going to have a troubled childhood, and not everyone is some secret drug lord. that's just bizarre, this is a real life role play we have here.
eight. if you've made it this far the password is "when i arrive, i bring the fire."
nine. the second most important rule of this website is this, staff is staff! they are chosen for specific reasons, do not harass them and do not ask to be apart of the staff unless we are holding auditions for new staff members. respect them and everything will be absolutely fine!
ten. before you're accepted you must have an icon (100x100) and your name has to be in all lower case. i don't want to see any » or ♥ or ™ or * or anything.
eleven. since it someone brought it up, your character's sexuality is completely up to you. they can be heterosexual, homosexual, pan-sexual whatever you choose.
twelve. have fun baby <3 fasten your seat belt it's going to be a bumpy ride.
