1 )
YOUR AMAZING POWERS. A lot of people think it's important that their character has some sort of supernatural ability. I don't see why, but they do. This must be addressed.
Slaves are fitted with a magical anklet that prevents their using any kind of special powers.
sweatdrop Slaves cannot remove their own anklets or the anklets of other slaves.
Masters...you can turn main battle tanks into marmalade for all I care, but do it in your own room.
2 )
WHY A SLAVE? There are many reasons why someone would choose to become a slave. Like a drastic form of bankruptcy, selling oneself into slavery may be an escape from overwhelming financial burdens. Others find (perhaps ironically) a kind of freedom in giving their lives over to another, and that's not even mentioning fetishists. XD It may be something as simple as a need to latch onto a stronger person. You are encouraged to think of other reasons as well.
3 )
GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER. It is recommended that slaves and masters get to know each other before we set up a room for them. Be sure that you are compatible. It's understood that the slave
character has no say in the matter, but don't you think the
player ought to?

HOW DO I GET A SLAVE? The thread titled ":: The Show Room::" is a good place to start. You may also want to look over the slave profiles to see what is available. The actual purchase takes place "off camera." What happens is that once your character has selected a slave, it heads to the registrar's office and makes the proper arrangements for payment. The payment will either be cash, precious metals or stones, or antiques or works of art which have had their authenticity verified. There is very little paper trail.
5 )
BE SURE YOUR PROFILE IS POSTED BEFORE YOU JUMP INTO THE GAME. Otherwise, the other players won't know what to do with you.
6 )
MULTIPLE CHARACTERS: Slaves-- No more than two slave characters per player! In all honesty, it would be better to have only one, but you are allowed up to two. This is because there are more slaves than there are masters at the moment.
Masters-- You may have as many master/mistress characters as you desire, but be careful not to bite off more than you can chew!
If you have more than one character, make sure that it's clear which one you are using at any given time. I suggest using different colors for different characters, just don't forget who is who!
7 )
Collaring Ceremony Once you get to know your slave, and you want to make sure that everyone else knows that the slave is your property, you will collar the slave. In the BDSM world, this is quite a ceremony, almost like a wedding. When you decide to collar your slave, send me a pm, we will set up a date, a thread (I will make you pretty graphics! And maybe even hire an artist), and make it a large scale event. But remember to be absolutely final about the decision you make.
If for some reason you don't get along with your new collared slave, then you are allowed to uncollar him or her, almost like a divorce, but I don't want drama. Sometimes people just don't get along, let's be adults about it and move on.
