The Basics
1. First and foremost, please remember that, in all things, the moderators have the final say. If we ask you to change something, feel free to explain, but if the moderators insist, then don't argue. We will never ask anything of anyone without giving a reason, and everyone has the right to voice their objection, but don't push it too far.
2. Please register with your character's full name.
3. Of Wolf and Man is an 18+ forum. However, that does not mean that you must RP sexual content. That is entirely up to each individual. Please keep all sexual content confined to private chats.
4. Please make it known if your character is going to act in any way that could be considered racist or extremely offensive. While this is an 18+ site, there are some limits and the moderators will need to approve extreme behavior. That being said, minor things, such as minor sexism, in-character political views, swearing, or violence, is acceptable within the character's persona. Please be an adult and don't complain about small stuff. If it bothers you, then maybe this isn't the right forum for you. :-)
5. All applications will be reviewed by the moderators before being accepted. Applications must be accepted before players may register or post.
6. Bullying of any kind will not be tolerated and can be grounds for banishment from this site.
7. In-character drama must remain In-character. If it is taken out-of-character, the moderators will deal with it, as necessary. Please remember that we are here to have fun.
8. We are a very laid-back group when it comes to posting. You don't need to have twelve threads going at all times, nor do you need to post five times per week, or once per day. However, we are all playing together, so please try to at least keep a post going in any threads that you are participating in. If you play in a thread that is moving faster than you prefer, make sure that your character does not become a key character in that thread.
9. Communicate and coordinate with your fellow players. Inform people of your intentions within a thread, and how you want your character to develop. Don't assume that others will pick up on how you want the story-line to go, or how your character might react to something. The golden rule here is: if you are not sure, ask!
10. Please feel free to approach any of the admins or moderators on this site with any questions, comments, or concerns.
Character Creation Rules
1. Of Wolf and Man is an RP based on the Anita Blake series of novels, but there will be some minor differences. We do not allow canon characters, nor will they ever appear in this RP. This is set in a fictional town, with original characters.
2. Please consult with the moderators if you feel the need to modify your application. Your bio may be updated, but we want to avoid frequent retcons as much as possible.
3. Please check with the Needed thread to find out what kinds of characters we are looking for.
4. Please do not post incomplete applications. If you have a character in mind but need time to complete him/her, you may post a face claim and submit your application when complete. Face claims will be deleted in two weeks time if no activity or communication has been made.
5. Please do not attempt to create an overwhelmingly powerful character. Limit yourself with the powers that you choose, and consider adding in some flaws. However, do not try to justify an overabundance of powers with as many flaws. It just doesn't work that way. Flaws are meant to add in some flavor to your character, and to make them more three-dimensional and realistic. Everyone has flaws.
Posting Rules
1. There is no minimum required word limit to your posts, but try to have both substance and description within your posts. A good rule of thumb is to have at least two to three well-written paragraphs (3-6 sentences) in each post. This will ensure that each post is enough for the next poster to play off of, and that people are not left hanging.
2. Please ask permission before you do anything involving another character, period. This especially includes any physical interactions. Make sure that the other player knows and accepts your specific actions. Never assume that the other person knows. Remember, communicate and coordinate.
3. Please follow the structure of the pack (if you are a pack member). Do not play your character as too bold and confrontational with a pack member that is higher rank, unless you have already worked that out with the other player. That being said, realize that there will be consequences to doing so. Even if the higher ranked character dismisses disrespectful behavior, the Ulfric most likely will not.
4. Please remember that alpha characters still fall within the pack structure. Also realize that alphas are not necessarily always dominant. For example, most of the other alphas in a pack are still submissive to the Ulfric, though not necessarily.
5. Please do not use OOC information IC, unless it is meant to be used that way. For example, do not assume that your character knows the weaknesses of another character, just because it is written in their bio.
Shoutbox Rules
1. This is an out-of-character chatbox, so please do not post anything in-character.
2. Bullying or unnecessary drama will not be tolerated. Please do not use the shoutbox to bitch, whine, or complain. Use PM's for that.
Signature Picture Rules
1. Please, no signatures over 500x200. These will be removed and you will be notified via PM.
2. Do not use nudity in your signature graphics. These will be removed and you may find yourself banned.
