Decree for the Restriction of Overage Posting:
Please keep all posts appropriate (PG-13 at most). If you require something a little more violent/gory/risque/fill-in-the-blank, please notify an admin and we will password your board and delete it when you are finished.
Decree for the Limitation of Original Characters:
Anyone wishing to apply for an original character must first clear it with an admin. We have nothing against original characters: we just don't want a site full of them while our lovely canons are neglected.
Exception: Characters that are mentioned in canon without a real backstory (ie children of canons) do not count as original characters and may be applied for.
Notice: If, in canon, a character is explicitly said to not have children or to have left no heirs, original characters that are such will not be permitted. Also, if a character is said to be an only child, siblings are not permitted unless they make sense (ie, Harry would not have any siblings because his parents died before they could have any more children).
Decrees for the Style and Limitations of Posting:
*Third person/past-tense, please.
*God-modding (playing someone else's character without their directly expressed permission) is not acceptable. Also, wait up for your fellow posters in a thread. Nobody likes being left behind. However, if someone has not posted for two weeks without reason, their account will be deleted and you may choose continue your thread without them.
*Additionally, try to stick to posts with five sentences minimum.
NOTICE: If you are going to be absent for any length of time, please PM an admin with notice of your absence. Thank you!
Decree for the Location and Posting of a Character:
You can only be in one place at one time, and so can your character! Please leave a location by saying [out] at the end of a post and state the place at which you will be arriving.
*If posting later becomes a problem, this rule will be lifted.
Decrees for Applying for a Character:
*Please make sure the character in question is not already taken before you apply for them. A list of available characters will be available to you should you wish to sign up.
*Sites like Wikipedia cannot be used for your character's history unless you cite them properly. All other parts of your character's application must be written BY YOU.
*This RP is set at the time of the epilogue at the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. If you are not prepared for spoilers or are not prepared to adjust your characters accordingly, please find another RP site that might be more suitable for you.
*If you would like to use a thorough description or a drawing of a character instead of a celebrity avatar, more power to you. However, if you use a drawing that is not yours, be sure to cite the artist.
*You may have as many characters as you can manage.
Overall, the most important things are to meet fellow Potter fans and have fun!
