A few simple rules to start with.
Don't create a character who is invincible, invulnerable, god-like, all-powerful, or otherwise imbued with omnipotent leanings. It's just not fun for everyone else.
If your character is going to act like a complete jerk all the time, it had better fit in with his biography or personality, or he had better have a good reason. There's nothing wrong with RPing as someone nobody else likes in-game(IC), but let's not go out of our way to be mean to everyone else just for the sake of being mean. If you want to RP a character that does nothing but piss other characters off, at least have some background supporting it, or RP it in such a way that it fits with the current RP thread. Don't just join an RP thread and start picking fights with people at random, etc, without some valid RP behind it.
That being said, there is nothing at all wrong with role-played fighting, grudges, or such. Just make sure it's not completely random.
This is considered an OOC forum, so I don't want to see any IC chatter here. That being said, although it is OOC here, keep your OOC discussion where it belongs. OOC commenting on bios is acceptable. Don't create new threads that are not bios.
Important! Please be aware that some Realms may have their own thread for your bios. If this is the case, make sure you post your bio in the right place. Along this note, Realms that do not have their own thread for your bios should require a [Label] on them, to make finding bios related to that realm much easier.
Your bio subject should look like "[Realm] Character's Name" for Realms with no bio thread. Do not add any extra information to the subject please. Keep it clean and concise to keep things in here neat and easy to sort through.
Multiple characters in one Realm/thread is always allowed (unless otherwise stated by Realm/thread owner). If you have more than one character in a single Realm, you are required to put a tag at the top-right corner of each of your posts stating which character that post relates to. This is not to be confused with multi-playing. Read the guild rules for more information on multi-playing.
BUMPING is not allowed! There's no need to bump your bio to make it appear on top. Just don't do it.
(more to come?)
Members who fail to adhere to these guidelines will be asked to make appropriate changes where needed.
Realm/Thread owners are encouraged to create a Bio thread here for Bios that are specific to your Realm/thread, rather than in your Realm or thread. (This is just to keep everything organized into one place). Also, feel free to post the bio of any NPCs from your thread in this forum as well.
Tip! The more organized and easy to read your bio is, the more people will actually take the time to read it!
Thank you, and happy role-playing!
