[attr="class","hopelove"]
[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]Roleplaying Basics [attr="class","hopelovetop"] Roleplay on Lona is to be executed in the third person, in paragraph format. Each account may only control its associated character, and its own pokémon. Unimportant background details (i.e. a group of musicians performing in the city plaza) may be added or manipulated by anyone. Non-player characters (NPC’s) may also be created for the sake of storytelling, but members may only use such characters sparingly, and it is expected that such creations will not have a significant impact on the roleplay. Major NPC’s (i.e. gym leaders, store owners) may only be controlled by staff members.[break][break] Posts have a minimum word count limit of 100.[break][break] [attr="class","hopelovetitle"]Posting Threads [attr="class","hopelovetop"] When you post a roleplay thread, give the topic a creative title. Each thread title should include, in parenthesis, a qualifier to identify the function of the posts. Such qualifiers may include: Open, [roleplay partner’s name], Catching, Training, or anything else which may be helpful. However, the qualifier must be definitive and clear. More than one may be used.[break][break] Lona uses fluid time; your characters may exist in multiple threads at once.[break][break] Please refrain from entering threads that are not listed as Open.[break][break] Risk warnings can be added to threads or areas by staff, denoted by the [!] tag in the title, which indicates the possibility of character or pokémon death (or serious injury). By participating in these threads or areas, players are consenting to the risk of danger. The risk warning also indicates that hostile NPC's may appear randomly.[break][break] [attr="class","hopelovetitle"]The PC [attr="class","hopelovetop"] Your character’s PC is your way of organizing what you need to roleplay. Your pokémon, and items will be listed here. You may customize the appearance of yours however you like, as long as the required information is displayed clearly. Regardless of how many pokémon you own in your PC, you can only use up to six of them in any one particular thread.[break][break] [attr="class","hopelovetitle"]Trackers [attr="class","hopelovetop"] A tracker must be maintained for each character, and linked to that character's profile. A tracker must list each roleplay thread in which that character appeared, even if complete.[break][break] [attr="class","hopelovetitle"]Supernatural Events/Characters [attr="class","hopelovetop"] We strive to maintain a degree of realism here. Do not include anything in your roleplay that does not fit in with the lore of Pokémon. No mutants, no vampires, no “pokémorphs.” There is no magic here. Rule of thumb is that anything that hasn't appeared in the manga or the main series games is not canon. Characters may not have supernatural abilities.[break][break] [attr="class","hopelovetitle"]Conduct [attr="class","hopelovetop"] Don’t be a dickhead. Well, you can be a little bit – this isn’t a community of crybabies. Just don’t overdo it, dickhead. It’s perfectly okay to joke around and take some light jabs at people, but use discretion and don’t go out of your way to hurt anyone’s feelings. We (the admins) can get in trouble for that, believe it or not.[break][break] Sexual roleplay must be kept to a minimum. Don’t describe anything that they wouldn’t show on Game of Thrones.[break][break] Mature language is perfectly fucking acceptable.[break][break] Violence is also fine. You want to turn your character into salsa? Go right ahead.[break][break] [attr="class","hopelovetitle"]Miscellaneous [attr="class","hopelovetop"] We do not allow Powerplaying, Godmoding, or Metagaming. Which means you are not the all powerful badass, nor can you say what another person's character does like "And you punch them in the head splattering their brains out" No you can do "and you throw a punch at so and so's head in an attempt to splatter their brains out." Also your character can only know things they find out themselves, if you know something ooc that your character shouldn't know then they don't know it.[break][break] Characters may not use firearms.[break][break] Do not plagiarize or steal someone else's stuff unless you got permission. Also face claims are only allowed from anime/manga/video games and not real life people. There are no character limits, but only have as many as you can handle or else we will have to limit you.[break][break] Also, no advertising other sites on the Cbox, we got a forum for that. Follow the rules of other sites when you advertise as well.[break][break] Last but not least, have fun.[break][break] |
