- basic rules -
[/justify]01. We are a literate to advanced role play. This means well-developed vocabulary, a very good grasp of the English language, near perfect grammar and punctuation. It also means that when you respond to a thread, your posts are relatively long - at least 250 words. Of course, quality over quantity, but nice, long posts are what we're looking for.
02. Absolutely no god-modeling, powerplaying, ooc racism or sexism, flamers, one-liners, mary-sues, gary-stus or any other frowned up behaviors. We aim to be a community where everybody can feel like they're welcome. You have two chances - offense #1 earns you a warning. Offense #2 earns you a ban. Of course, if it's your first offense but it's really bad, we'll just ban you.
03. Do not steal. This means characters, back-stories, avatars, signatures, or anything anybody else has made that is their own. If you are using a face-claim, then say who the original person is. If you're using fan-art, then credit the artist.
04. One account per member. This means you make one account and make characters using that account, not make one account per character.
05. Feel free to use your own template or the provided template when making your character. Just make sure you have all the necessary information.
- limits -
[/justify]01. You may find some mature content here.
02. This board will be rated PG-13. By that, it means cussing is allowed. But don't cuss in every single sentence. Also, that means if your characters are starting to get a little handsy...take it to the Wordpress.
03. On that note, everything from fluff to angst to drama to...whatever the hell you want is going to be accepted. You may RP explicit things, but when that happens, take it OFFSITE. The Wordpress account is there for R-18+ things to happen. You MAY NOT RP IT OUT IN PERSONAL MESSAGES. You can, of course, RP it over e-mail or messenger if you don't want the other members of Genesis to view it.
04. When you first join, you are given one free trainee character slot. The more you post, the more money you will accumulate. You may use that money to buy anything from the shop.
05. If you are using an existing kpop idol as your face-claim, you may only use one member of the group. For example! Admin Kyu has face-claimed EXO's Lu Han. This means she cannot face-claim anybody else from EXO.
- roleplaying -
[/justify]01. Remember: anything is possible. Addictions, fights, breakups, hookups, misunderstandings - have at it. Drama is fun in a roleplay. Just please keep it out of the chat.
02. Nothing is to be left out of your character bio. The minimum amount of stuff that should be in your bio is everything on the template. Feel free to add whatever you want to it.
03. Welcome the new people. We know it's intimidating going on a new roleplaying site - but when everybody welcomes you and falls at your feet wanting to plot and roleplay, that's when it makes the admins really happy and it makes the newcomers really happy. That also means...
04. Introduce yourself in the chat! We want to talk to you!
05. We will be in liquid time. This means your character can be in two threads at the same time. Just help us out and put a time stamp at the top of your first post so we know when the thread takes place.
06. Put a banner on top of each post. This banner should have your character name on it - you can make it as pretty or as simple as you want. Because it's one account per member, we want to know which character we're dealing with.
- inactivity/hiatus -
[/justify]01. Tell us if you are going on hiatus.
02. If you are inactive for a week without notice, you will be given a warning and a two-day grace period in which to answer the warning. Inactivity for another week will result in expulsion and the freeing of your face-claim.
03. You may reserve a face-claim for three days, by which you should have put up the WIP. Failure to do so will result in the freeing of the face-claim.
04. There will be activity checks.
Thanks for reading! Happy roleplaying!
