Let's keep this simple as possible;
We aim to bring you a safe, and fun environment here. Please be sure to read our very compact rules, and if you have any questions we’ll see you in the cbox.
Out of Character
I. Please keep things respectful. We do not tolerate being hurtful for the sake of being hurtful. If someone ask you to stop then please stop. If you do not stop you will be warned. On the same note, if you have thin skin it’d be best if you avoided the cbox. We ask that everyone take a joke as well as they give them.
II. If there is an RP issue with another member, please contact that member in private via PM or directly via Chatango. Private issues shall not be taken up in the cbox or in an OOC Forum period.
III. If an issue arises where you need to consult the staff, always feel free to do so in private. The staff will check in as frequently as possible; we are always available to be PM'd through the site, if online privately via chatango or skype or msn. We are always willing to hear any and all complaints.
IV. Image Size Limts are as is
V. Activity Checks are mandatory, and you must post in them with a link to a thread that is within two weeks of the the AC. If you can not show activity in the last four weeks you will be subject to losing that character or all of your characters if we deem it necessary. You may re-app on a probationary period, and prove to us you can handle a set number of characters.
VI. If you go on a Leave of Absence be sure to post in the designated LOA thread. You will not lose your characters unless you up and disappear on us for more than two AC checks. You may re-app upon your return provided the characters are available.
Application Process
I. Any application posted, complete or incomplete, places a reserve on the character for up to a week. If you don't place a formal reservation or application and someone else is quicker to the character you want, you have to wait it out to see if they finish the application within the allotted week.
II. Please make your App topic look like this (Example; Charles Xavier (WIP/Complete). We like to keep the board uniform as we have some level of OCD.
III. Yes you must use your characters real name. Every character has a name even if it is not used. IF your character does not have a real name in any of the Marvel U’s then we will permit his codename to be used.
IV Do not edit the coding on the Application. If it has UBBC coding do not touch it (with the exception of the * in the [*img] section)
V. Do not edit completed apps. We do have an App Edit Request form that you can submit and we will adjust the apps as needed. We keep copies to ensure people don’t try to get around us for whatever reason. It has happened before.
VI. If you are asked to fix something then just fix it. Arguing with the staff will get you nowhere, and you will not find a more inviting group than us. Kind of why we opened this place to begin with.
VII. We do not allow OC’s to be related to Canon Characters, but you may have your own OC. OC's will not be teachers or members of First Class.
VIII We are not allowing time travelers or aliens at this time. If you can not make your character into a present day mutant then you do not need that character.
IX. Your play by should match the character you are applying for. If your play by does not match your character we WILL ask you to change them accordingly. If you need help ask us we’ll be happy to help you find a suitable PlayBy.
X. Powers manifest at puberty for the majority of people. The only exception for this is if it is in a character’s canon history. You may not be a master over your powers before as a teenager. You should not have full control over your powers until your early to mid twenties. You may be adept at them late teens early twenties, but not be on par with Magneto for example.
XI. Staff reserves the right to deny any character for any reason! This also includes plagiarism from wikipedia or any written source not your own this includes other boards.
XII. Password is Excelsior!
CBOX
I. The chat box is for chatting, questions, plotting, etc. Plotting, questions, acquaintance and general nonsense can be done publicly in the chat box. For anything else, please use the whisper or PM function. OOC rules (Especially #1!!!) always apply. Generally speaking, you can be raunchy, filthy, depraved, weird, obscure, flirty, freaky, or anything else under the sun, just don't be a dick. In a nasty mood? Avoid the chat box, or have a sense of humor with it.
II. In character role-playing should not occur in the cbox. We do have a link to the In Character Chatbox underneath the cbox. You may go in there with a char you have been accepted as to play. None of what goes on in the cbox will be carried over unless you rp it on the board, and its sole reason is for fun while waiting for posts.
In Character
I. This is an intermediate-advanced roleplay. We expect well-thought, detailed and coherent posts from our writers. RP is a book with multiple authors; let's make it a good book to read. We won't patronize you with a word or paragraph count; not all posts need to be a certain length to be considered "well-written." Don't be afraid to ask the staff for tips, advice or props for your posts! We love reading excellent writing, and we also enjoy helping good writers become better! We will ask as a politeness to make your post at least three paragraphs at the least amount.
II. No God-moding. It's not about winning or losing, it's about writing an invigorating tale; invincible jacks of all trades who never falter are boring to interact with and won't be tolerated.
III. You are allowed 6 characters MAX. You may only apply for two characters a month. This is so that we can see that you can handle posting on a regular basis.
IV. Graphic content involving blood, guts, and gore as well as sexual content are not allowed. Proboards is PG13 at best, so try to be creative in your writing of excessive gore or sex. In the case of sex you’d have to basically fade to black, and frankly we’re writers. This shouldn’t be a issue
V. All canon mutant characters of the Marvel U can be considered for application. Characters that come from comics that aren't related to the main universe (Spider-Man, The Avengers, etc.) are unfortunately not allowed to be played at the present time unless the character has a mutant ability.
VIII. If you wish to make a canon who is a child of another canon already taken on the site, you must obtain the writer of that canon's permission.
Rules are subject to change as the site grows and evolves; any changes in rules will be announced by staff so that all may be aware of the changes.
