*READ ALL THE RULES BEFORE CREATING A CHARACTER*
GENERAL
- Please respect all members of this site. That means EVERYONE. I don't care if you've been a member for a long time and feel like you're allowed to pick on the newer ones. If I catch you doing this, you will pay the consequences.
- Stay active. No one wants to be that person who makes an account, posts in one or two threads, then disappears.
- Before you do anything, change your display name to your characters first and last name, capitalizing the necessary letters (ie. John Smith).
- Make your claims immediately after you get accepted, please. It makes everything less confusing.
- If you don't post for three months, your account will be made inactive, unless you decide to come back. This does not apply if you let us know beforehand by posting in the away thread that you will be going on vacation or something similar. That being said, please post in the away thread whenever you will be going away.
- This site is rated PG-13, meaning you can curse, but only mildly. I don't want any F-bombs or See You Next Tuesdays. Basically, If you think it's inappropriate, don't post it. Your characters cannot roleplay having sex. If it is not actually depicted and is only referenced (not in detail, I might add), that might be acceptable.
Roleplay
- All characters must be at least thirteen years old. They could have been around camp since they were an infant, but to RP them, they must be thirteen or over.
- All posts must be a minimum of 250 words. You don't necessarily have to write an essay, but don't simply put a line or two of what your character is literally saying or doing. Include their thoughts, what they see, hear, or smell, whatever. 250 words may seem like a lot, but once you get rolling, it's not.
- Please, no excessive OOC (out of character) comments within posts. Of course, a remark or two would be okay (like, for example, if you wanted to ask your RP partner(s) when you should end the thread) but don't have a full conversation unless it is IC (in character). Save that for the chat box and/or private messages.
- Canons will be available at some point, but until then, please don't pester me about wanting to play Percy or Annabeth. I don't mind a comment or question, but don't nag me for days about your lifelong desire to represent a canon.
- Use proper grammar and spelling. Enough said.
- No god-modding. You can only RP your own character and cannot decide what others do, unless they are an NPC (non-playable character). This includes deciding whether an attack strikes its target or not. You can swing all you want, but the other character decides if it actually hits them. With that in mind, please don't block or dodge every attack someone throws at you. No one is invincible, and you have to let a strike land some time.
- Quests must be bought at the camp store. A total of 3 quests can be going on at the same time. Once you buy your quest, you must contact "Connor the Fourth" about setting it up.
Graphics
- No sigs larger than 500 x 500, please. Avatars should be about 200 x 300 or less.
- If you notice an image or something of the sort stretches the page, please remove it, or an admin will.
- This should go without saying, but no extremely revealing images in sigs or avatars. We don't want female breasts or either gender's private parts. That's just uncalled for.
Other
- As of right now, there is no limit to the amount of characters you can have (as long as you think you can handle it). There will eventually be a limit and a post requirement, but not for now. If you'd like to get rid of a character, you can kill them off or have an admin sort them as inactive. If you kill them, please let someone know so we can take them off the records.
- You will eventually be able to make children of the minor gods, but only when we have enough Olympian kids.
- Don't forget about the guys! Many RP sites have a large lack of male characters. Don't be afraid to make one!
- Information about playing gods will be coming soon, but until then, don't badger any of the admins about it.
- Children of the Big 3 (Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades) are not being accepted until further notice.
- You will receive your welcome package shortly after your character is accepted. A welcome package consists of a weapon or magical item from your godly parent and it will determine whether you have special powers. You don't need your package to start roleplaying, so don't wait around for it! Please wait at least 3 days before asking about your package if it has not arrived yet.
