BASIC RULES // INFO
[/size][/u][/center]*It is very important to know that this site follows the books. It takes place TWO YEARS AFTER the fifth book. We take the movie into consideration but plot wise we follow the books.[/size][/u][/center]
*We take place two years after the Last Olympian, however, we act as though Lost Hero did not happen. We are a kind of AU Percy Jackson Roleplay now. As such we will not accept characters from those books. We also ask that you keep the Lost Hero talk to the specific Lost Hero thread. PM for the password.
*Prior knowledge to the Percy Jackson & The Olympians book series is a MUST. I will repeat this site takes place two years AFTER the final book. You will have to know the out come to RP properly here on the site.
*No limit on original characters, but you may only have three Canon Characters. Immortals/Gods do not count as Canons as there are many of them. There is no limit to the number of Immortals/Gods you can be.
*There will be no flaming of other members or websites. Be kind to others.
*We are an ADVANCED roleplay. Minimum of 400 word posts. And starter posts can be 300. (we will check from time to time).
*If you have never Roleplayed on Proboards before, or are just starting out this is NOT the site for you. I am sorry.APPLICATION
*
*
*Please post one application at a time. If you still have a pending app and you create another one, the second application will not even be considered. I also ask that you get at least 10 posts with your first character in game threads (does not count in OOC, Journals, Wanted Threads, Thread Trackers etc.) before you think about creating another character. I will not consider a second character for you if you have not met this requirement. I hate to make this rule, but as of 1-17-2011 it is in effect. If you have questions see me.
*To allow for some creative freedom we are only allowing ONE child per Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. There probably would be no others beside Thalia, Percy and Nico in the book series but we will allow only one original character for each cabin.
*With that said, no son/daughters of Hera or Artemis.
*Do not assume that your character knows or is on super friendly terms with another character, especially a Canon. Please ASK the player of that canon or character first. This means do not add it in your history that your original character is like Annabeth’s bestie or hangs out with her on a daily basis. That is a form of god moding in my mind. I will ask you to correct things like this in your character’s history before you are accepted.
*We currently are not accepting anymore characters that include a weapon that morphs into something else. We have too many of those objects here at camp. PLEASE do not add into your character bio that "Mary Sue" has a bracelet that changes into a dagger, bow etc. etc. Your application is likely to get denied or we will ask you to change it.
*Face claims must be age appropriate and we do not accept myspace, flickr or scene kids. REAL CELEBRITIES ONLY! There are plenty out there to choose from. If you need help in locating a good one people here are very open to helping. I would be happy to help you choose a celebrity. When it comes to band members, I may take a second look.
ACTIVITY
[/size][/u][/center]*NOTE** We currently have our 7 half-bloods for the Great Prophecy. As such no more Quests will be given out.
* PLEASE BE ACTIVE!!! If you have not posted anywhere from 3 weeks to a month without saying something about a leave of absence, you will lose your character and have to reapply. For canons this means your canon is put back up for grabs.
* People who are inactive and have been deleted have one chance to come back and be active and reapply with their characters. We do not want people who come and go as they please it messes with character plots and the storyline in general. I'm sorry to make this rule. For further concerns or questions regarding this rule please PM me.
POSTING // GAMING
[/size][/u][/center]*As this is an ADVANCED roleplay site we will be critical on applications. I don't like to see wimpy histories. The longer the better, it means you have actually given thought to your character. As stated on the application a minimum 400 words are required to even be CONSIDERED for acceptance.
*This entire site is in third person. He, she, They etc. The only place or time we will accept first person is in journal entries. As such I do expect good grammarand do your best on spelling. Check your post in a word document for spelling if need be. We are anADVANCED roleplay site and I expect A minimum of 400 words per post I don’t like to see tiny tiny tiny replies. And absolutely NO ONE LINERS!! Starter posts can be 300+ words.
*The ONLY ONLY place I will ever accept seeing a one liner or a less than 400 word post will be in the Quest related threads or theCtF Board. This is because quests take place over a longer span of time and things do need to get moving fast. Please note if it is a Quest thread by putting a {Q} in the title.
*No Godmoding. Even if you happen to be a God think before you post something in a battle situation. Also do not move another person’s character. Leave it open a little to give the other person a chance to accept the action or deny it. Also do not write movements for other characters that do not belong to you. Do not claim that Gary sat down, when he was clearly standing in his previous post.
*Threads listed as (Open) are free to anyone to enter into. HOWEVER, if the game has a few posts between two+ characters please ASK before joining. Other games with names tagged are meant ONLY for those listed. Please do not interrupt games. That’s just rude.
GRAPHICS
[/size][/u][/center]*Signatures no larger than 500x600, you may have two picture banners as long as the height does not exceed 600. Just do NOT stretch the screen.
*Avatars or Icons are required for the site. Avatars/Icon can be anywhere from 100x100 to 100x200. Banners are not required but strongly recommended. It gives other players a chance to see your character and is a good reference to what they look like instead of having to look it up. If you cannot make your own Icon or Banner we have a good group of people here who are willing to make you a set. Go down to the Graphics Center for more information. Please give the artist proper credit too.
C-BOX
[/size][/u][/center]*In relation to the Cbox. It is there for us to talk and make happy. Please do not bring drama to the Cbox. Character drama is all fine because we all know it is not truly meant. Do not disrespect anyone, and let us keep language and subject matter to a PG level. If either Annabeth or I see someone breaking this we will pull you aside in a private chat and ask you nicely to stop
*I expect everyone to treat others with respect. This goes not for just in the CBOX but outside of the Cbox in games as well. Please keep all IC roleplay in the IC Cbox, and OOC chatter in its own Cbox.
*
FINE PRINT
[/size][/u][/center]*If I find any of these rules have been broken I will give you two warnings (and you’ll know when it is an actual warning as you will receive a nice long PM from myself), and on the third you are stripped of your character(s).
*Annabeth and I reserve the right to deny character applications we feel do not live up to expectations or simply do not follow the rules or instructions on the application.
* We also reserve the right to deny a player a spot on this site and the right to strip a player of a character(s) if we feel they are being disrespectful to us or to other players.
*Please respect your Admins.
*Rules are subject to change.[/blockquote][/font]
