reading rules isn't exactly a favourite pastime, i know, but it's compulsory. they're here for your benefit.
[001] Manners matter. Please be considerate of other people on the site. It's natural to have characters who don't get along, but out of character arguments will not be tolerated on The Primrose Chase. That goes double for unsavoury, racist, sexist or prejudice remarks and behaviour.
[002] As per Proboards' Terms of Service, you are not allowed to post any adult material. This includes graphic sexual content. Any posts that violate this rule will be deleted without warning.
[003] If your signature or an image you've posted is wider than 500 and stretches the forum, please resize it. Any one of the admins would be glad to help if such help is needed.
[004] Please don't use text talk like 'omg' or 'lol' in your roleplay posts. In-character threads must be made in past tense and third person. Try your best with grammar, punctuation and spelling, and if you know those aren't your forte, use spell check. Read through your entire post before publishing it so you know it's correct.
[005] No spamming. If you're going to post, make the post mean something. Long posts are good, but only if the contents are relevant and generally succinct. Don't spend two paragraphs on what your character is wearing. Also, double posting is sin. And, in most cases, sin is bad. Advertising can only be done in the allotted board.
[006] One character per account please. Face claims are a must on this site. We only accept real people models, so no anime/cartoons.
[007] Once you've posted your application, please wait for an admin to accept it before posting in any of the in-character boards. These posts will be deleted. Also, once your application has been accepted, your display name needs to be changed to your character's first and last name. Middle name is optional.
[008] No God-Moding. You may control your character and your character only. And while we encourage good post lengths, please make sure that the person/s you are roleplaying with has a chance to react to whatever your character has said or done. It is unfair for your character to have all the control in the situation without allowing other characters to get involved in the action.
[009] No Mary-Sues. Your character isn't perfect. Perfect characters are boring anyway. We'll be watching out for flaws. Other things we'll be looking out for are unoriginal characters. Please don't transpose characters from established fandoms (such as using names from shows, books or movies).
[010] Our roleplay posts have a 150 word minimum. The occasional 'small' post is allowed, but please don't make a habit of it. Also, try to match your partner's post count. If they write a 1000 word post, it'd be insulting to follow it with a 200 word one.
[011] This site does not have a character maximum, but if you wish to play several characters please ensure that these characters are all balanced out. For example, don't make all your characters female. Or have every character you play apart of the Vervain Underground. Mix it up a little.
[012] No one-post roleplay threads. These are completely pointless. If you want your character to demonstrate something, either make it a journal entry or change the post so another character can partake. Also, don't roleplay with yourself, another pointless activity.
[013] Your character may begin at any augmentation level you wish, but keep in mind that young character probably won't be starting out at levels three or four. Use your best judgement picking your level. If you start out at level three or four we will be looking for an excellent explanation as to why within your augmentation or history.
IN ORDER TO LEVEL UP you must have at least ten in-character threads with at least four of those threads showcasing or mentioning some sort of augmentation event (either a struggle, or a small jump within their level, a novel use of their power or a thread where the character in question used their augmentation strenuously). Simply PM one of the admins and we will review your threads with links to all threads to see if you qualify for an advancement.
[014] If you wish to give your character an augmentation, the earliest s/he can be born is 1982, as per the plot history. Thus, the oldest an augment can be is 29.
