While created for fun, this group still needs to follow a few guidelines to keep everything in check.

✦ № godmodding is permitted. It may be fine to some, but to a normal consensus, most users find this very annoying since they in turn never get a say with this character while roleplaying with them. I can understand if you have something in mind or you really want a situation to go a certain way, but please refrain from making a 'perfect character'.

✦ № arguing, excessive swearing or fighting. While this may be allowed in character, it is NOT out of character. Please understand that we want to keep this group very family oriented and friendly, and any sort of bickering will not be tolerated to keep this sort of mentality.

✦ № intense romantic acts. It makes others very uncomfortable, especially when it's someone who just accidentally stumbles upon it. I also specify the word 'intense' because some may be tolerated. So long as clothes are not removed, unzipped, etc to perform such, I am ok with. So forms of hinting, hugs and kisses are fair game. But if you would like to rp as such, please do so through pms or just skip through it please.

✦ № arguing with the Moderators. They are here to help you, not to act as baby sitters. If you have a disposition with one, I suggest you talk to one privately about the matter.

✦ № killing of characters without consent. Death of your own characters is definitely fine and you are more than welcome to use them in other threads after there passing. But on no occassion is it fine for you to kill a character without the owner's consent. This is extremely rude and can kill an interesting plot in seconds.

✦ № plot armor. You may be asking what this is. Well it's basically what every main character on a show has. They get protected by some sheer coincidence since they are the main focus or some type of mysterious force no one can explain. This goes hand in hand with powerplaying. While I understand you may love a character, please understand that they may die at any time, especially considering the plotline.

✦ №tify others of hiatus. If you have to leave for a long period time or simply can not be active, please make sure to tell the others.

✦ Regarding Characters... You are free to make as many as you feel is needed, so long as its a tangible amount. If you can not manage them all, one of the moderators may ask for you to delete a few characters that are unused, or move them to the 'Inactive Characters' thread. Only ONE Ill king character per user please. Once all the spots are taken, then no more may be made, though you can request to be children of royalty, advisors and such as nobility. While there is no limit to how many of these charactes you can make, the majority of characters are to be survivors.

✦ Regarding Threads... How they work in this group is that someone may join in at any time. While this may seem unethical, it leaves it so characters can mingle more easily and lead to interesting plots. The only exception to this is that the rp thread MUST be labelled 'public' for one to do this. As such, if you request that a thread is made, you may make it 'private' so only certain people can join.

✦ Regarding Abilities... You're character can definitely be unique! But I would prefer if they were not overwhelmingly so. You are allowed up to 3 unique abilities that your character may possess and possibly an alternate form or demon if you so desire. While I hate to staple creativity to its limit, there is also some abilities that are banned from this group, with there reasons for being so next to it.

✧ Immortality: Your character can not be completely immortal. There may be some way that they can pass into the afterlife, whether it be an outstanding weakness or limitation. Characters that stop aging after a certain age are definitely fine though.

✧ Invulnerability: Similar to immortality, there just must be an outstanding weakness against this.

✧ Army Conjuring: This one im quite iffy about. While I'm fine if the so called army are a small entity that would be managable, I would prefer not for characters to conjure large hordes of something that's strong to begin with, such as hellhounds, dragons, etc. A few is fine, just not an overwhelming amount.

✧ Shapeshifting into Everything: It's just kind of redundant since they would have a counter for nearly everything. Having several forms is fine, but anything over say 7 is quite ridiculous.

✧ Spontaneous Death No winking or snapping your fingers to kill something. Out of all the abilities, this is by far the most annoying ability one can possess. It completely disregards conflict and can be use to easily stop any interesting plot point that is progressing.
