THE RULES
+
GENERAL RULESPlease make sure to read all the rules thoroughly, most of them are pretty basic but reading them lessens the chance that warnings have to be given out. Feel free to message PIXIE if you have any questions or post in the shout box at the bottom of the page.
1. Be nice. It's pretty simple and pretty much the first rule on every board. No bullying, and there is no tolerance for racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or bigotry of any kind.
2. Don't post anywhere until you've both read the rules and posted your character application. This site uses a simple application, it's easier for everyone and more often than not, a character is different once you start writing anyway.
3. Rules are subject to change as the board grows and evolves.
4. Be sure to also read the setting so you know what to expect, and check in every now and again in case things change. There will be announcements should that happen.
5. There is no activity requirement at this time except at least one post per month, though we obviously encourage more to keep your character involved. If an account goes for one full month without a post the account will be deleted.
6. We prefer writing to be done in third person and past tense. Example "he looked around" and not "I looked around" or "I am looking around". It should all be from your characters third person past tense narrative.
7. There is no word count at this time, but try to at least give other characters something to play off of.

character rules1. No GMing, no Mary/Gary sues, no assuming your character is well known or the most "popular" and no power play. You do not get to decide for other handlers and characters how they feel about your character, that takes the fun right out of RPing.
2. No strong-arming other characters/handlers. This means do not try to push someone to RP a thread/scenario/situation/relationship, please, feel free to plot and discuss whatever you want, but if someone doesn't want that for their character, that should be the end of it.
3. All characters should currently be survivors trying to continue life in New York. Pay attention to the setting for more information.
4. Every character should have their own account. For now we do not have ooc accounts, this may change if the need arises. When registering your character please register them with their first name and the first letter of their last name for easy tagging. Example, the name Jane Doe would be janed.
5. Upon registering you should go in and change the name to your characters FIRST and LAST name in all caps.
6. All character faces should be REAL people. No cg or art allowed.
7. Characters should be 16 years old and up. As for character faces, also try to keep them above 16 but age range doesn't matter, pick the face you want for your character. Just try to keep them to actors, musicians, models, some social media faces are also fine, but check first. No pornstars are allowed.
