OOC
- Respect your Admins. Respect the rules. Just show respect to everyone and everything on the board, and we'll be all right.
- Keep yourself active by trying to post at least once a week. If you need to take a hiatus, please post a note in the "Leave of Absence" board located in the Member's Area. This keeps your accounts from being deleted.
- Absolutely no slurs, especially out of character. This includes g*ypsy, as well.
- The C-Box is a place to talk and relax, so feel free to come there and chat with your fellow members. However, do not spend all your time there, as we are here to roleplay, and also do not try to pick a fight with those in the C-Box. This is a no-no.
- Keep your text readable. I understand English is not everyone's first language, so all we ask is that your try, especially in your roleplay post. In the C-Box, we are a little more lenient.
- If you post a RP thread with triggering content (eg: suicide, torture or self-harm) PLEASE mention something in the title. Give a warning to those who could be hurt by this sort of content.
Profile
- One character per account. You can have as many characters as you can keep active, but they must remain one per account.
- You have two weeks to finish a character's profile. If you need more time, however, feel free to PM us. If we receive no PM, the thread will be moved to the Trashbin.
- No faceclaims under the age of 13 will be allowed.
- All characters of color must have a faceclaim of the same ethnicity as them.
- Multiple characters may have the same faceclaim; this phenomena is known as being a "doppelganger". However, in order to do this you must ask permission of both the original person who took the FC and an admin.
- Be very careful when you create your characters. We're looking for quality, not quantity, and want to see good, well-thought-out characters here on All Creatures.
Roleplay
- ABSOLUTELY no plagiarizing, under any circumstances. Not in your roleplay posts, not in your character profile, nowhere. This includes from published works, movies and television, and fanfic or other roleplays. You may base your character off of a character from another work and you may jokingly reference bits of other works so long as you make it clear that it's a reference, but you may not copy paragraphs of writing or dialogue from them. If we notice any part of your writing has been lifted straight from somewhere else you will be permanently banned.
- No powerplay or godmoding, not on my watch. Your characters are not invincible; they can be killed, and they can be hurt. Even if your character is scripted to win the fight, they must take some sort of wound. The same can be said for abilities such as telepathy and telekinesis; do not do anything to another character with the player's permission.
- NO putting another character through life-changing trauma without permission from the character's player. That means: no hacking off limbs, no rendering them paralyzed, no torture, ABSOLUTELY NO KILLING, etc. If you're not sure if something counts as this, CONSULT THE PLAYER ANYWAY. Please do not mangle any characters under 18, even with permission.
- NSFW is absolutely NOT allowed. Proboards TOS does not allow for anything over PG-13, so violence is allowed to an extent, and making out is allowed, but anything more must be either skipped through or roleplayed off-site. Absolutely no smut. If it were up to us, we honestly wouldn't care, but the entire site can be pulled if Proboards staff finds it or if it gets reported.
- If you insist on smutting off-site, please, please be 18+, as it is a federal offense otherwise. Not only could we get blamed for it, it's illegal. If we discover someone above age smutting with someone below age, they will be banned immediately.
- Pregnancy, suicide, murder, ect. can all happen at a moment's notice in real life and so are acceptable here; however, it is advised that you PM an admin before deciding to play out one of these scenarios. To get to the creation board use "soldmysoulforatshirt".
- NO ONE-LINERS WHATSOEVER. Your word count MUST be at least 300 words, but we will allow for occasional slips so long as they exceed 250 words. "Occasional" is the key word here -- don't make it a habit.
