CREDITS {{


First and foremost, we should thank WICKED from the RPGC for making many of the images on this site - Namely, the background, sidebar images, menu buttons, transparent UBBC buttons, polaroid bases and on/off buttons. Also, thank you to FENRIR (Also from the RPGC) for making the smilies. All other images are made to be used only by ME, and all the images and posts made by their respective creators on this site are only to be used by THEM.

Site Rules
It won’t be too painful, promise


First Things First
1} This site is unrated – That is, we’re not exactly dedicated to roleplaying out sex, drugs and violence but there may be some included. If something in your thread is going to be headed towards the more risqué, I must ask that you label ‘M’ somewhere in the title so that members can avoid such topics if they want to.
2} We’re not an elitist site dedicated to the advanced, but there is a 200 word minimum per post – Just so you can get in enough information and detail to spark interest in other roleplayers.
3} Please don’t do much to the default site font to mess it up – By all means, make it larger, change its colour, do something like that, but please refrain from setting it to size one or it starts to become illegible.
4} No chatspeak anywhere! This is an important rule for grammar tyrants like me.
5} Obviously, no powerplaying or godmoding anywhere on the site. If you’re confused as to what these mean, then just go on ahead and PM me.
6} If I see any stealing of any kind anywhere on the site… Things won’t be pretty.

Joining
7} Please register as your character’s first name. This means I can track you down easily if I need too, and you also simultaneously reserve your name so we don’t have any double names running around.
8} Once you’ve registered, change your display name to your characters first and second name, with all letters in lower case. I don’t know why… It looks pretty.
9} Only one character per account, please. However, you can have as many accounts as you like!

Images
10} Make sure that no images stretch the forums. This means the pixel width limit is about 600, and I’ll leave the height to your judgement. If your image stretches the forum I will have to sneakily resize it and then it will look blurry and everyone will hate you.
11} No naked pictures. Obviously. I don’t care how attractive your character is, it’s just downright not allowed.

Characters
12} One of the main twists in this roleplay is simply the fact that your character can possess a single ability (Or power, if you will) that gives them advantages over that of a normal human. You may only have ONE ability per character, and they can pretty much be anything you can cook up in your imagination. Bear in mind, however, that things like crazy psychic mind bullets that can kill another human with a single glance will probably be removed. That would start counting as powerplaying, no?
13} There is no age limits on characters – Just pretty much what would be considered mortal (Unless you have a character who can keep healing themselves and achieve near eternal life… Interesting).
14} Make some kind of drawbacks with their ability. Whilst they are above what is considered normal and natural, they are still with their own foibles.
15} Please do not use pictures of people from Myspace, Facebook or any other social network when creating a character – They must be a celebrity, or yourself, I suppose. This is simply because pictures from these kinds of websites do not belong to us and are illegal to use, as far as I know.
