First off. A generic set of rules that should be followed. This is to erase the need to post it in every RP. Unless there are specifics. Then reference these rules FIRST [as in 'note: read the rules first' sort of thing], then add your own.
These rules apply to EVERY role play that is to be made. No exceptions. Do not break them.

Rules
-The RP creator is in charge, please respect their rules and warnings.
-No god-modding and no over powering. We all get annoyed with it, and it's a giant argument waiting to happen.
-Follow Gaia's TOC (duh)
-Romance and rivalry is welcome in all RP's and greatly encouraged, just make it small until after page 4 or 5, depending on how big the RP is. I'm sick of being in a RP where people seem to find "The One" in the first two pages. You can think about the person, just no serious flirting until designated time period.
-Cursing? You're a young adult/adult/waffle, you should know your limits; I'm not going to scold you on it unless I absolutely have to...so don't make me have to.
-Don't ignore people. It's just not nice.
-The obvious; no cybering. Time skip is fine. Don't take it to PM, and definitely don't do it in the role play. Don't make me report you.
-This is where i become a Nazi:
"Spell check is a must!" You all went to school, you should know the difference between first and third person and a paragraph and two sentences. If you are dyslexic, you are more than forgiven, just make sure you let the creator know.
-Profiles are to be sent to the creator of the RP via PM. Be warned, they are allowed to suggest changes to your character on submission that will better fit your character. Don't take offence, they just want to make your character as awesome as possible.
And please make sure to title the PM with what the creator suggests to avoid any possible confusion.
-Be sure to read the entire page if it pertains to anything important about the roleplay. On that note, creators: slip in a key word somewhere in the post so you know people aren't being lazy.
-If for some reason you have to drop out or will be absent for over two days please let the roleplay creator or admin know. We are forgiving.
-A generic OOC will be made. One only. It is for everyone to unwind and discuss. Also, so you can keep track of people's lives and whether they're alive or not.
-This is where i now advertise. Invite people to the guild! Kthnxbai :3
-Be sure to keep up with the little "going ons" in the roleplay. If there is an update section on the first page of the RP you're in, check it! You don't want to miss something and make an a** of yourself
-Three Strikes You're Out:
A rule that is to be followed from now on at ALL times. I'm rather lenient in the roleplays i create, especially if you've PM'ed me to say you can't post between now and whenever and someone is aiding your character. I'm not sure on other peoples stances, but this is a roleplay and we expect you to be active! Or else what was the point of joining the RP in the first place?
Try and post MINIMUM once a week, or else a warning shall be sent. Three and you're character dies... In this case, creators must PM me with the character that is not responding, and then I shall notify you of your characters impending "death". You can plead your case, but you will be saved if Moon and I deem you saving.
-Simply. Have fun. You cannot roleplay to the best of your abilities if you're not having fun. So loose yourself in the moment, and live it! Trust me, it's alot better ;3
_____________________________________________________________
And now here's a fun and very quick guide on creating a good roleplay!
Must knows about creating a RP
-First, and obviously, what genre your RP will be about: school based? Fantasy? Game/Movie based? You know the freaking deal ;D
-Next, take some time to think about what your roleplay will detail. Use pictures where necessary to show buildings, landscape, etc. Make us believe we're in the story, go all out with detail!
- Submit your basic idea with posts in this order: Introduction, more detailed story line, a reference to the rules and any extras, and your profile code. Post this only so Moon or myself can check it over before you finish and open it! Once we've given you the ok, then you can add the finishing touches; a black/white list, accepted profiles and an updates section.
-After all of this, your RP will be open and ready to go!
