&The RULES

(ONCE UPON A TIME !)

Hey guys! Welcome to *- -h y a c i n t h- -* ! We're an original fantasy roleplay that takes its inspiration from Greek, Roman, Celtic, Norse, and Egyptian Mythology as well as various books we have read over the years. This site is rated MATURE for alcohol, sensuality, swearing, and violence. But we'd appreciate it if you didn't hold that against us. Here are the rules, the necessary evil.

(FROM THE REALM OF FAERIE TALES !)

Okay, lets start off with the application process okay?

01. Before you can do anything, you gotta register. So either register with your OOC name or your character's first name. After that, you'll have to change it to your characters First and Last Name simply so the site looks nice.

02. Scootch on over to the Applications board where you'll find the Application form. Post your character here. Once you post it, you'll have two weeks to finish it. After the time limit is up, if your bio isn't finished it will be moved to the archives board. No Mary Sues and Gary Stus either!

03. You're almost done! Once the admins have mulled over your completed application and approved it, you need to stake your face claim before someone else snatches it up! After this you can start roleplaying!

(IN A LAND FAR FAR AWAY !)

Now on to the in character information !

01. No God-Modding! This is a no-brainer but I'm serious. Two accounts of God-modding and you're banned. We've had issues with it in the past and we don't feel like dealing with it again.

02. With the exception of the IC Cbox, and the In Character Games all in character posts should be in Third-Person. It looks better, and is a lot easier to read if all posts are in third-person.

03. While this is a Mature forum, go easy on the sex and drugs and stuff okay? And no character is all powerful even though this is a fantasy roleplay.

04. Posts should be at least THREE well written, descriptive paragraphs if not more. We understand that sometimes the Muse aren't being friendly so less is okay just as long as it isn't all the time. If you can, try to match your roleplay partner's post.

05. One last thing, try and make your posts pretty! You don't have to be a totally awesome graphics artist but you can at least blockquote or center right? Oh, and use what you learned in English and check your spelling and grammar as much as possible.

(LIVED THE PRINCESS OF WOLF TOWER !)

And here's the Chat Boxes!!

01. Keep the Main Chatbox and the ICbox free of advertising to other sites please. We don't mind if the link is in your name but don't be all like "OMIGOD CHECK OUT MY SITE NOW NOW NOW blahblahblah.com ITS SUPER AWESOME! every five posts. Its tacky, and annoying.

02. Try and keep the main cbox clean of swearing and stuff. Sure we all have slip ups now and then, but don't make it a problem.

03. The IC Cbox is the best way to stay active while waiting on posts. Also if you can't post everyday even though you have a thread waiting on you, tell the person in the main chatbox but also try and post in the ICbox that way you're active.

(WHO KNOCKED AWAY THE PRINCE'S HAND !)

Speaking of Activity...

01. With all of these different ways to stay active, there's really no other excuse for not being active besides either laziness, lost link, or you have prior engagements that have to take priority. In the case of prior engagements, post in the Going Away board so we don't delete you when we have a spontaneous activity check.

02. We'll try to have 4 activity checks a year if not more. (1 for Spring 1 for Summer 1 for Winter and 1 for Autumn) they're not hard to reply to, just don't disappear after one.

(AND RAN THE KINGDOM ON HER OWN !)

Anything else?

01. You should have an avatar, and a signature of your character's face claim. They don't have to match though they'd look prettier that way. Just don't stretch the page. You can find many sites that have graphic request spots, or ask someone up here.

02. Yes Face Claims are required. The photos have to be of real people. You can have an anime or CGI photo for like a fae form but otherwise it has to be a real person.

(AND SHE LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER !)

Thanks for checking out *- -h y a c i n t h- -*! We hope to see more of you so join or at least drop a line in the chat box every now and then, we'd love to hear from you! Have fun!!

(THE END !)

Sincerely,

Your lovable admin
