Teen Titans: The Apocalypse ( Rules and Registration )
Rules and Character Registration
01) Commitment
In joining this RP, you're promising me that you'll post on a daily basis. Posting once and then running away won't be acceptable, and I'll be sure to tell the MOD to delete your posts and the single post if you do that. This is only fair to the rest of the members who wish to continually RP.
Also, please be careful not to join a fast-moving thread if you are unsure if you can be here consistently to keep up with thread updates.
02) Attendance
No, I don't take role call on the RP, ever. But if I notice that you're consistently missing or gone for more than a span of two weeks, I'll send you a reminder PM. If that is not responded to, then you'll be removed from the RP, though you're always free to sign up again. If you are planning to be on holiday and thus not online for a span of time, please contact me in advance, and I'll take care of your character.
03) Warning System
I don't usually take any actions against people unless members complain, or violates the rules or common decency, and generally I am very understanding people. However, I will not permit any disrespect of members on this RP. I want it clean and respectful, from anyone. It's just like baseball, people.
-- Strike One: verbal warning
-- Strike Two: second warning
-- Strike Three: out of the roleplay
For Characters/RPing______________
01) Character Creation
Members or those that have proved their competence as a player are free to apply for a secondary character. Keep in mind that you must petition via PM for permission to have a secondary character.
Please do not relate your characters to any characters from the television show/comics without the owner of that character's permission. If no owner if present, please ask me if the relation is permitted. This includes being past friends with the Titans or being Slade's new apprentices.
02) Description
One-line/one-sentence posts will not be permitted. Consistent posting in this manner will incite a warning from the staff. I understand this is only a game and not your English class, but write descriptively and use proper spelling, capitalization, and grammar. Always stay in third-person, past tense.
It's okay to typo, guys. I won't cry over a misplaced letter. I do it all the time. But please, try and spellcheck your character profile before you submit them. They are archived and used as a reference, so proper grammar and spelling is most important in them, more than anything.
03) Posting
Posts are done in third-person, past-tense, form. Adjectives, adverbs, and general details are always encouraged and make it easier for other players to interact with your character.
For example:
*dodges*/dodges/dodge ---becomes---> He narrowly dodged the arced swing of the sledgehammer.
This isn't a paper on business law or a column for a newspaper, but I do have a certain level of quality that will be accepted.
05) Site Rating
The rating for this RP is around PG/PG-13, I'd say. It includes soft swearing, so unless you're comfortable with this, please don't apply. I will edit immense swearing at my own discretion.
06) Character Death and Violence
Kill and injure your character if you like, but do NOT be graphic about it. I will start warning you if I see this happening. If you are going to kill another player's character, you must receive their permission first, as well as let me know.
You should never to any of the following, since it makes for a very annoyed players.
a) god moding - Do not assume other's actions, thoughts, or feelings without explicit and announced permission.
B) auto hitting - Never, ever, assume your hits land or use attacks that force another character to be injured.
c) power playing - Reversely, let your character be hit once and awhile. They are not all amazingly defensive and evasive people, and they have their weaknesses. Don't act invincible or all-powerful or any of that stuff ^^;
Any questions should be either PMed to me or posted on the OOC Section.
Alias: the name your character is to be called in the RP
Full Name: their real name, if they have one
Gender:
Age: please, do not list this as unknown unless there are special circumstances explained
Race: ex: alien, human, mutant, meta-human, etc...
Alignment: hero or villain? Every person leans to one side more than the other, so please do not write 'neutral'
History:
this should be thorough and detailed, almost like a story. Explain where the character is from, how they discovered their powers, what sort of training (or lack thereof) they received, what family was like, and why they decided to come to Jump City
Personality:
please don't just list attributes, explain what your character is really like. However, please do not write a story to illustrate these points, just write a short paragraph of explanation
Appearance:
either explain this in detail, have a picture, or both
Other:
anything else you'd like to add, such as notes on character associations, extra details about their lives, etc
Technical__________________
Super Abilities/Weapons:
list the powers and, if you need to, explain what exactly it does or how it functions. They should also be related to the character history and be of reasonable strength and ability
Weaknesses:
list the weakness and possibly why they have it or what happens when they encounter their weakness. Weaknesses are vastly different from personality flaws (pride, fear, recalling memories, depression, and all similar traits), such personality flaws will not be accepted a suitable weakness. Nearly everyone has a physical or mental weakness to elements, conditions, and environments
