• This site has an over-all rating of PG-13. Therefore, you must be at least thirteen to register for this site. Twelve years and three-hundred-sixty-four days? Too bad!
• Once you've registered, please change your display name to your character's first and last name (in that order). To prove that you read the rules, put the code phrase, "Sweating like a pig, actually" after the "How are you doing?" at the end of the application template. Case doesn't matter -- our coding will transform it for you.
• Head on over to the sculpting block and fill out the proper template. Improperly coded applications will be denied. If the coding confuses you, don't be afraid to requisition some help.
• When posting your application, title it "LAST, first middle." This ensures uniformity.
• If you haven't figured it out yet, you're welcome to create either a deity (though your choices are limited there), a mer, a vampyr, a lycanthrope, a mage, or a human. No half-breeds, and no other races. For information on each race's strengths, weaknesses, special abilities, etc., check this thread.
• I don't care if you have a strange obsession with Prince Zuko from the Last Air-Bender. Celebrity models are to be air-breathing human beings.
• There's a face claim. Consult it before you create your character and post in it after you've chosen a celebrity of your own.
• No two characters may have the same celebrity. If you're interested in a pair of identical twins, there are identical twin celebrities to choose from.
• For every two non-human characters you create, you must have one human. They might not have cool powers, but they're intelligent and can adapt to new environments with impressive speed.
• Any one person may have up to six characters. If you manage to keep all six accounts active, once each of them have achieved a number of 50 posts (in character and out of character), you're welcome to create another, and so on and so forth.

• Bad muse days happen, we understand that. As such, we're not going to give you guys a ridiculous word count. However, we would appreciate it if you could please write at least two hundred words.
• To avoid confusion, posts are to be kept in third-person past-tense.
• Do the world a favor: tag your threads so we know who's allowed to post in them. You are allowed to tag one of two ways, either a note at the bottom of the post or in the title.
• We don't want any excessive swearing (e.g., in five f-bombs in a row) or descriptive sex stories. Really? Those of who have to monitor your posts don't want to be scarred for life by blow-by-blow accounts of your characters gettin' down. Dear gods.
• This is the fictional island of Cydria. Your silly earthly drugs do not exist here. If you're interested in what sort of things do exist here, check out the other threads in this board.
• Please try to stick to the personality you wrote in your character's biography, unless there is a thread somewhere where he or she has undergone some sort of life-changing experience.
• If your vampyr sparkles, his/her account will be deleted immediately. No exceptions.
• If your character is any other race beside human, he or she has powers. Feel free to use those powers during your threads -- there's no point in having them if you're just going to play human. Just make sure to read up on what your character's powers and restrictions are, so we don't have any mer flopping around on dry land or lycans transforming during the daytime.
• In fight threads, do not play invincible. Try to keep the action believable. You cannot doge every punch.
• It's fine if your character shows up in a territory his/her race does not own, so long as you have a plausible reason. The same goes for inter-racial relationships.
• All proposed relationships (this terms apply to friendships, family, etc.) with deities must be approved by the administrators. This is to ensure that the deity involved is not breaking canon.
• Be creative and diverse in your plots. Romance isn't the only option.
graphics
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
• Racist, pornographic, or otherwise disturbing or offensive images are not allowed. They will be removed on sight if posted.
• No image may exceed a width of 500px. Any larger will stretch the forum and look generally crappy. Not cool.
• Signatures may not exceed a height of 450px. Not every person on the planet has shiny awesome net connection. Furthermore, posts should stretch for miles due to activity and quality writing, not huge graphics.
• Credit all graphics where credit is due. If you didn't spend hours of your time dutifully slaving over them, someone did, and his or her efforts should be recognized. If the administrators find any graphics uncredited, we will go into your profile and credit them for you. Or remove them, depending on our mood.
chatterbox

• Refrain from spamming. Seeing as internet fails happen, the staff members understand that there's potential for double-posting. However, posting the same message repeatedly or posting incoherent messages will not be tolerated.
• NO ADVERTISING UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. We have boards for that. If you want to link in the cbox, it better not be self-promotion, unless you're in the mood for being banned.
• On that note, do not abuse the email/url box. It is for avatars. In the case that multiple people use it to advertise (or post images that violate our graphic rules), it is a privilege that can and will be revoked.
• There will be no flaming, bashing, fighting, or whatever you care to label it in the cbox. It is meant for harmless word play and throwing virtual potatoes at people, not insulting them to tears and ruining everyone's day.
• Listen to the fine ladies with [ ADMIN ] in their names. Bad things happen to those that neglect to do so.
• Do not treat the cbox like your private chat room. If you wish to speak one-on-one with another member, shoot him or her a personal message or ask for an instant messenger address. When you're in the cbox, put forth your best effort in making conversation with everyone present, especially new or potential new members.
