rules ;;

[antha]

out of character

• R-E-S-P-E-C-T. i cannot stress this enough. you must respect every member, and especially the staff. no one likes bickering.
  
• fighting in the cbox or in any other ooc board is forbidden. fighting is allowed between characters in the ic boards only!
  
• your character may not be younger than 10 unless they are born on the site. if you are below age 19, you must be enrolled in school either at a forks school or on the reservation.
  
• you may discuss religion, politics, or any of those other touchy topics. however, you still may not fight about them. i know we all have free speech, but everyone is also entitled to their own opinion. agree to disagree sometimes.
  
• there is a zero tolerance policy for stealing. if you are caught, you will be pm'd and given 24 hours to take the stolen material down. if you fail to do so you will be deleted, no exceptions.
  
• the site is rated pg-13, per the proboards tos. any violation of the tos is not permitted. if you are unsure what goes against the tos, send one of the admins a pm and we will let you know. when in doubt, leave it out.
  
• keep the cbox clean, people. cussing is allowed, but there are no sailors here. keep in mind that this site has younger people on it. not to mention, excessive cussing just isn't cute.
  
• if, for any reason, you need assistance or find out if someone has broken any of the above rules, please do not hesitate to pm an admin. there are no stupid questions! we don't bite, either.
  
• icons may not be larger than 150 x 270 px.
  
• signature images may not stretch the board.
  
• make your display name your characters first and last name in all lowercase! example: mary smith
  

in character

• i hate to have to say this, but no gm and pp. if you don't know what that is, pm one of the admins and we will explain it.
  
• check the canon list if you wish to try for a canon character!
  
• you must have a human face claim. no anime, no hand drawn, and you may not use yourself. also, make sure you claim your face once you register! you can also reserve a fc on the face claim list.
  
• the word minimum is 200 words. also, make sure to use correct punctuation and spell check!
  
• you may not kill someone's character without permission from them.
  

for vampires

• for the time being, there are no "vegetarian vamps" in forks. when our member base grows, we will allow that choice to be made members whether or not they become a veggie vamp. you may not register as one.
  
• in order to make a "coven", it required a vampire over the age of 500 years to be the head, and two more subordinate vampires to follow him. if you wish to create a coven, pm the admins.
  
• vampires may not run around killing people all the time. they have to be discreet in order to keep the humans from figuring out about them.
  
• in order to change a human into a vampire, both players must be contacted and it must be agreed upon. vampires MAY NOT run around changing humans every five seconds. if this happens, we will ban the turning of humans.
  

for werewolves

• wolves will not be allowed to have any strange colors or markings. only realistic colors, please.
  
• your face claim must at least look partially native american. no blonde blue eyed werewolves, please. if you need help finding a proper fc, please pm a staff member.
  
• you must state whether or not you are in the main pack, or if you are a loner.
  
• if you wish to create a pack, pm an admin for assistance. you must have at least one other werewolf to join you upon the creation of the pack.
  
• in respect to authenticity, werewolves will not be running willy nilly all around the cities in their wolf form. they want to remain a secret from humans. make sure you keep this in mind.
  
• in order to experience the change, the character must have hit puberty.
  

for humans

• your human character may not have any knowledge of vampires or werewolves existing, unless they have been told by another character on this site, in a thread taken place here.
  
• once you are told, most humans would not believe it right away. it might take some convincing for your character to actually believe the person telling them. no one automatically thinks "oh hey yeah you're a werewolf! it makes prefect sense!"
  
• just like in the book, humans can be turned into vampires. they cannot, however, be turned into werewolves.
  
• humans can imprint with werewolves.
