[ 1 ] Please don't be an asshat. Don't stir up drama outside of roleplays. Make your grandmother proud by minding your manners and having common courtsey to all.

[ 2 ] Be original. At no cost is plagarism ever acceptable; if you want to incorporate someone else's template, design, etc. into your own, for heaven's sake, ask. Also, please keep in mind that we expect all creations to be original; recycling, in this case, is not looked upon favorably.

[ 3 ] Wait until your character has been approved before jumping into roleplays. Again, common courtesy, y'all.

[ 4 ] Cursing is allowed, so long as you don't curse at people. Also, a PSA: (view spoiler)[ please keep in mind that Ramadan is coming up, so from the evening of June 17, 2015 to the evening of July 17, 2015, if someone asks you to respect their religious traditions by taking the cursing/sexy rp down a notch, respect their request and do your best to comply. (hide spoiler)]

C H A R A C T E R S & R O L E P L A Y I N G

[ 1 ] Be reasonable. We have not applied any limitations when it comes to character making or collaborations, but please do not make any more face or character claims than you can handle and get involved in thirty-some collaborations when you will follow through with only five. You know your limits. Don't go overboard.

[ 2 ] When it comes to Animagi, Metamorphmogi, and Werewolves:
── Animagi + Werewolves: Each person is allowed to create 1 student animagi or werewolf of their choice. For further information on Animagi, how they are created, and their skills, use this page for reference. For further information on Werewolves, how they are created, when they turn, etc. use this page for reference. We love roleplay drama, so get creative and have fun with this. Lunacy is promoted so long as no characters are severely harmed against their will.
── Metamorphmorgi: for metamorphmogi, we will allow up to three people to create a metamorphmogus, no more. Apply for one of the three here and we will take it into consideration. Keep in mind that they are extremely rare and usually passed on hereditarily.
── As for teachers, if you want to make them an animagus or a werewolf, run the idea past one of the mods through either PM or the questions + suggestions thread and we will inform you whether the idea will work with roleplay criterion or not.

[ 3 ] Be appropriate. Keep the gore and sex to a minimum. As much as we all love romance, this does not give you the go-ahead to create Fifty Shades of Grey: Hogwarts Edition. Keep this TV-14 and if you really want to pull out all the NSFW vibes you have, take it to a 1+1 group or PM.

[ 4 ] No Mary Sues, Gary Stus, overpowered characters, and powerplaying allowed. This should be self-explanatory. We want realistic characters who are flawed and full of weakness as well as strength. It's no fun roleplaying with someone who's perfect, and it's definitely no fun to control another character's actions for your own benefit. The beauty of roleplay lies in the fact that it is improvised story-telling and plot-making. Drop the need for "perfection" and your selfish, egotistical mindset; take note that this is a dickhead-free zone (people-wise; we are more than welcome to dickheaded characters).

[ 5 ] This is a semi-advanced roleplay. We require a minimum of four lines when on desktop format (lines, not sentences) per roleplay post. This translates to around 7-9 lines when on mobile format. There are no exceptions.

That is all. Please sign your name below to agree that a) you have read the rules and b) you will adhere to them to the best of your abilities. Thank you.
