Guardian Law Role Playing Rules:
1. More than one Character - You can now have any number of characters in any combination of pre-made or invented characters, but if you sign up for a character, make sure you RP with them. Unused character accounts will be deleted and given back to the public. Also, if you wish to be a character that isn't listed, tell me or a Guardian the name and show and we'll add them. Everyone can make an unlimited supply of original characters and for now, no limit on series characters.
2. Character Page List- We do not put characters in our signatures anymore and so now that everyone can RP up to an unlimited supply of their own original RP characters, you must create a character page list in the ‘Your RP Characters’ sub board in the ‘Register Your Character’ board. Though you must actually create a character, having already introduced yourself to the forum, then post your page list.. And if you wish to RP more characters on another account download the browsers Firefox, Opera, Flock, and Netscape Navigator 9. It helps when making multiple accounts.
3. Lemon Threads – Sex related threads aren’t allowed on proboards forums for it’s against their TOS. However if you do make a sexual threads, only do it if it is necessary for a plot line and rate threads from G to X.
4. Role-Playing with other members – Switch up RPing with others members so others don’t feel left out. Just completely ignoring everyone else is rude. Be kind and get familiar with other members RPing and their styles.
5. Display Names - Use the name of the character you'll be portraying the most.
6. RPing Grammatically- Everyone is at least required to try and type a full two paragraphs or more when RPing when creating new threads for others to post in. Reason being because not many like to RP with those that post one liners. This means write at least 5-6 sentences per paragraph. So, no way around this rule. At least start your first reply off in a thread with someone with a small paragraph. And would also be much appreciated to type in complete sentences. So two paragraphs or more is required enough to be a post reply.
7. Universal Villain- If you’ve done anything wrong on the forum that causes you to be ranked this, you’ll be on RP Probation for two weeks or more depending on what you did. Your characters will have a strike through them and you’re only allowed to post in the general boards.
8. Non Role-Playing Member - You all will be labeled this when you first sign up on the board and it will only be changed after you’ve introduced yourself to the forum and registered a role playing character.
9. No God Modding - For those of you who do not know what this is, God modding is creating a perfect character. They have no weaknesses, their personalities are absolutely flawless, they cannot be killed (or simply return to life unless with good reason), have ungodly amounts of power, they know everything that's going on everywhere regardless as to where they currently are in relation to the event, controlling characters that don't belong to them, changing events that have not come to pass without permisson from other members, and have the perfect plan to defeat every conflict. If someone is God Modding, they will be automatically labeled ‘Forum Traitor’ for a month so don’t do it.
10. Gender Problem- There’s an imbalance of characters from the shows that are listed so you all can RP whatever character you want regardless of gender.
11. Canon Characters- For Cannon characters you just ask one and they will be given to you. We do however ask you to know something about this character. Which can easily be determined by the way you role-play. If we find you just slacking it off, it means you know nothing about this character and it may be taken away from you. If there’s a canon you’d like to RP but we don’t have it up, let us know and we’ll put up a list for it.
12. Original Characters- When making original characters of your own creation please follow the character templates provided and also you need to put more effort into your character’s background history because one paragraph of information doesn’t cut it. Don’t be lazy. Write more and that goes for staff as well.
13. NPCs- NPC stands for Non-Player Character. A non-player character is a character that its purposes are either for storylines or side characters that don’t get much RP use/action. You can make as many as you’d like but don’t go overboard. These characters can also be killed off as well.
14. Storylines- It is important for members to realize that there are forum storylines pre-set and ready to be RPed. However if you feel as if you don’t have a character that fits for either, then you’re more than welcome to make one that fits. RPing your own mini storyline plots off to the side is fine but it’d be nice if you’d make a forum wide effort also.
15. Song Play List- At the top of the forum we have a play list with the theme songs and intros on series and movies that are related to this site. If you miss any thing, you can pm me a title or a series/movies name and I will add it to the list. You can also post a theme song in the theme song thread, like a youtube link, with a star next to the title of the song. I will add it to the play list as well. (This can also be personal or character theme songs.)
