Path of Destiny General Rules and Info-[Must Read]

[Faithless[Admin]]

All rules below are subject to change at any time. These rules are to ensure that everyone has a safe, fun time on PoD.

Basic Forum Rules

Respect- This is one of the biggest rules. Please respect everyone if you expect respect back. If you have a disagreement, take it up in a PM. Arguments out in the open will not be tolerated.

Ownership Rights- Everything has its owner. Graphics, canons, OCs...please respect this. Don't copy someone's ideas. Be creative.

Graphics- Since we have a certain layout on the board, some kinds of graphics will stretch and distort the page. If you wish to have a signature, please make it no bigger than 300X300.

Profanity- Please use caution when using certain kinds of language. Cursing is fine as long as kept within reason and being respectful of others.

Character Links- Everyone is required to make a profile link found in the character registration. This should have links to all of your accepted characters and then a link should be in your signature for quick checks for staff.

Writing

Grammar- This is a writing forum. So you should be able to write legibly. All writing should be 3rd person and past tense. No text speak such as "u" is allowed. "You" is the proper term.

Length- Length is very important since this is a intermediate role play. We ask that each post made be at least two paragraphs each. If the posts start getting weak, maybe its time to start a new thread.

Language- The language should be English of course. If you wish to use a different language for a thread, just add a translation.

Roleplay

Characters- Players are required to have one accepted character in order to roleplay. Certain rules on character registration can be found on the template. Here at Darkened Future, we are all about originality and although there are certain species allowed here, there will be no accepting any characters based on Twilight, Naruto, or Harry Potter. It is suggested that you have separate profiles for each character. Like one profile per character on here. There is no limit on characters, but only take on as much as you can.

Canons- Canons are welcome. This is not limited to Kingdom Hearts, but like stated above, there will be no Twiliight, Naruto, or Harry Potter on this forum. Also, you must audition for any canon you want. This is not limited to KH canons.

Abilities- It is great to have powerful and unique abilities, but they must also have a drawback. There cannot be any ability that will always hit or will kill immediately.

Keyblades- As of right now, Keyblades are restricted to canon characters that wield them. No OCs may wield Keyblades.

Godmod/Powerplay- Godmodding or powerplay can be defined as taking over the other person's character or controlling the whole thread in one's favor. This is completely unacceptable. You are not allowed to kill anyone's character without their consent. But that is also to say that everyone should play fair. No character can be invulnerable or immortal unless it is a canon character. Even then, you will be asked not to powerplay.

Explicit Material- In no way is pornography allowed. As an open forum, we may have younger members. The content you write should never be anything outside the bounds of PG13 and then a time skip should ensue. This is a mandatory rule.

No Selective Roleplaying- I know that everyone has different characters that act different ways. Your character may not get along with a certain character. That's fine. I also understand that characters have mates or significant others. But no selective roleplaying means that you neglect other players. If you have entered into a roleplay with someone, reply to it within twenty four hours, if possible. I understand school and work, etc. but if you can reply to one roleplay, you can reply to them all. If you cannot handle more than one roleplay at a time, just don't do it.

One last thing...

Have fun!
