Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is it, The Role-Playing forum! This is where it all goes down, where you will create your character's story with your fellow players. Please remember that you MAY NOT post ANYTHING in character before you have posted your COMPLETED character profile. Before you begin, there are some very important rules...

1. Kindly read the Roleplaying Tutorial. It is designed with both new and experienced roleplayers in mind, and feel free to post additional questions in the thread.

2. Please post your profile in the Character List before you post in the roleplay.

3. You may apply to control a second character if you so desire. Please see this post for more information on the specific procedures.

4. Please post in a dark color (blue or black) and in standard font size. This just makes things easier for everyone.

5. Please use correct spelling and grammar. If you do not have a spell checker, this particular one is online. Also, grammar rules can be found here.

6. All posts in the roleplay should be in third person past tense point of view for continuity's sake.

7. Your character's name should be in each post at least once. Preferably more, depending on post length.

8. If you decide to post another location, please do so without polls. Also, before creating a location, check to make sure that something like it does not already exist. The first post of a new location should be an OOC description of the location.

9. Do not post out of character in an in character thread. If it is that important, send the person a PM.

10. At the end of a post and before switching locations, make some mention of where you plan to go so that people can follow you. An even more spectacular thing to do would be to link your posts together. Click here for more information on post linking.

11. Please do not double post. There is an edit button, and if you decide to add something to what your character is doing simply tack it on to the end of the last post rather than creating a whole new post for it.

12. Please do not quote the post of the character that you are replying to. This is just obnoxious and makes threads cluttered. Besides, if you are a good enough roleplayer you won't have to quote them for everyone to know who it is that you are interacting with.

13. Please post in the roleplay at least once a week. We understand that this is not always neccesary, and if you know in advance, please post in the Extended Absence thread. Warnings to inactive posters are sent out on Wednesdays and if by the following Saturday you still have not posted (even if it is just in the Extended Absences thread), your account will be banned from the guild. However, if you are banned your character profile will be preserved in the crew forum and you are welcome to reapply at any time. Click here for more information on that policy.

For further explaination on how this guild is supposed to work....

What happens in this forum is pretty typical of other guild-based roleplays on gaia.

There is a thread for each location in the world that LoSI exists in. So far there is the Trendy hangout spot, Expresso Eddie's, the school, restaraunts, etc. If something happens at a location and your character is not there, you have to explain how you got the information. If it is something important enough that almost everyone would hear about it, it will probably go in the plot announcements thread, but if it is a small event you will most likely hear about the event through gossip, so make sure that someone your character knows well was there before you say you know it (unless you really like to come up with the six degrees of captain pasty...)

Also, if you plan on adding a building to the world of LoSI, you have to either explain why it exists suddenly and why no one knew about it, or create a construction thread and explain how it comes into existance. These threads should probably last about a week depending upon the scale of the construction, but if you plan on creating anything big, it would probably be best to clear it with a mod first. To turn them into the buildings you desire, just change the title of the thread into the title of the building you want, deleting the construction post and instead including a short OOC description of the building.

Finally, Channel Q News should be considered your latest up-to-date news and announcements for the happenings of Delmor, but it is up to you whether or not your character actually watched the Channel Q News.


Just one more point, only Atrox Saint and myself will be posting with images of characters, because we will be controlling so many. It is just to help you guys out so you know who we are posting as. You can as well if you feel the need, but i just thought it would be nice to let you guys know why we do it.
