Role Play How to and Guidelines

What is Role Playing?
Role playing is where you play out a story. Users will come up with an idea for a story and you will make your own characters. Users will make internal and external conflicts as they go along which could have to do with love choice or a war or anything.

Character Making
-You must include the character’s name. It does not have to be your own. You can make up any name you want.
-Yes, you may be more than one person. We encourage that you do not have more than 2 people for it does get confusing.
-You must include a description of what the character looks like. You can either write a regualr description or one of the usual and best methods of showing your character’s looks are to go to http://photobucket.com/ and in the search bar type your search. The pictures are usually anime. You could search up anime boys or anime girls. When you find the picture you are looking for you click on the code bar where it says Direct Link. You copy the code and go back to the Role Play section on the House of Night Forums. In your reply, you click the Add A Picture button in the toolbar and paste the code there. After that is done you are finished with your description.
-You must add your age.
-In the threads of the different Role Plays you may be needed to add different information such as a power that you would like to have. The power could be turning invisible or controlling fire. It depends on what the creator of the thread has written.

God Modding
God Modding is where you control someone else’s character when they are away. There are rules that apply to God Modding.
-Do NOT God Mode someone’s character unless the user gives you permission to do so.
-If the user has left the forums for a long period of time then Private Message me telling me of the problem and I will tell you if God Modding will be allowed.

OOC Posts
To discuss ideas for the story, and how each others Characters' can/should react, or whether a Character does or does not know something, basically anything to do with the story being told, are permitted, and encouraged. However, when you do write out of character you must write in parentheses.

Other
-If a Role Play topic has no pages or has been inactive for 1-2 weeks then it will be deleted.
-If you create a role play but you have to leave after you create it then we can only make sure no one starts the role play for 36 hours.
