[INDENT][B][COLOR=SILVER][1.1.0.][/COLOR] - [/B]As the GM, I reserve the right to deny, veto or otherwise reject any character application based on any number of factors that I find make the character unfit for this roleplay. This can include player history, perceived literacy, lack of understanding of the game's concept, unruly behavior in the iCheck/OOC or towards the GM, other players or simply a generally poor attitude. Other reasons for application denial will be listed in the following rules.

[B][COLOR=SILVER][1.2.0.][/COLOR] - [/B]All Character Sheets must be submitted to the GMs using the provided skeleton. Character Sheets which do not use the provided skeleton will be rejected and asked to comply with the set standard. 

[INDENT][B][COLOR=SILVER][1.2.1.][/COLOR] - [/B]Incomplete or in progress sheets should not be posted in the OOC nor should they be posted in the character tab. Completed sheets ready for review are the only character sheets which should be posted in the OOC.

[B][COLOR=SILVER][1.2.2.][/COLOR] - [/B]Completed sheets are to be posted in the Out of Character Thread for review until approved. Once approved you may move your sheet into the Character Thread for storage.[/INDENT] 
[B][COLOR=SILVER][1.3.0.][/COLOR] - [/B]You can create any superhuman mold you want with tact, but do not make your character well rounded. Give them weaknesses, flaws, and limitations in their skills and abilities, reasons to make them need a team or allies to support them. Additionally, give your character room to grow and develop. It's always fun to have a new power show up down the line, just give the GM a heads up first so it doesn't look like you're godmodding.

[B][COLOR=SILVER][1.4.0.][/COLOR] - [/B]Failure to adhere to any of the character creation rules will lead to rejection of the application with a citation of the broken rule(s). Critique will be given on Character Sheets which don't break any rules but aren't quite up to an acceptable standard. Please be willing to work with the GM in the event of this.

[B][COLOR=SILVER][1.5.0.][/COLOR] - [/B]A Discord will only be created for this RP if all players are willing and able to participate within it. In the event that this is not the case, the OOC will remain the primary medium for discussion and game announcements. Any player is welcome to reach out to me through my Discord found in my signature in the event that this is easier for than using the OOC or PMs.[/INDENT]

[INDENT][B][COLOR=SILVER][2.1.0.][/COLOR] - [/B]Respect the Game Masters. The GM's words are to be adhered, don't argue or disregard them unnecessarily. If a GM asks you to stop doing something please do it. Likewise if a GM asks you to change something in your post please do it. Failure to adhere to any GM or Moderator requests will result in expulsion from the game.

[B][COLOR=SILVER][2.2.0.][/COLOR] - [/B]Respect the other players. Constructive criticism is fine, but flaming or trying to run players off just because you don't like the way they do things is not okay. Remember, it's the GM's job, not yours, to point out if there's a problem. If you feel that there is a problem, then contact a GM directly.

[B][COLOR=SILVER][2.3.0.][/COLOR] - [/B]Likewise any quarrels will be dealt with by the GMs. Don't take them out in the OOC, arguments should be dealt with between the two parties through private messaging. If the involved parties truly can't solve their issues a GM can act as an arbiter upon request.

[B][COLOR=SILVER][2.4.0.][/COLOR] - [/B]This is a thread for discussion of the roleplay, its characters and plots. This is not a Spam Thread but I do encourage you to have fun. Chat is allowed and encouraged but please try not to fill the OOC with numerous pages that have little to nothing to do with the roleplay itself. An active OOC generally means an active roleplay so feel free to chat up your fellow players about characters and events in the RP.[/INDENT]

[INDENT][B][COLOR=SILVER][3.1.0.][/COLOR] - [/B]Absolutely no 'OOC' chatter in the In Character Thread. If you have a question or anything to explain there is an Out Of Character Thread provided. You have no excuse to make an 'OOC' comment in the IC and if done it will be heavily frowned upon.

[B][COLOR=SILVER][3.2.0.][/COLOR] - [/B]You are your character, so act like them. Create or portray their mannerisms, powers, and ideals to how they have been established in the game. BE the character, not just yourself with the character's powers. The notes section of your CS has been provided for such a reason, use it to help yourself remain consistent in character portrayals.

[B][COLOR=SILVER][3.3.0.][/COLOR] - [/B]Writing expectations for this roleplay are at least two (2) well developed paragraphs as a minimum per post. Three (3) to five (5) paragraph posts however would be awesome so long as you're not simply chewing the scenery. Proper spelling and grammar is also expected but small mistakes here and there are understandable. Blatant offenses will be called out.

[B][COLOR=SILVER][3.3.0.][/COLOR] - [/B]You are required to post at least once within ten (10) days after the GM Plot Post advances the RP. Extensions will only be given in extenuating circumstances. Please recognize your limitations before joining the RP, if you are unable to post once every ten days, then it's highly likely that you do not have enough time to keep up with the RP. 

[INDENT][B][COLOR=SILVER][3.3.1.][/COLOR] - [/B]In the event that you do miss the ten day deadline, your character will be listed as 'inactive'. After a further week (7 Days) of inactivity, your character will be expelled, and dealt with as necessary in the IC, whether killed or used as needed and then discarded. This whole process is simply easier if you just let the GM know if you're unable to keep up or simply have lost interest in the RP.

[B][COLOR=SILVER][3.3.2.][/COLOR] - [/B]If you find yourself in a plot with another player and they disappear, do your best to move on without them and quickly finish the arc to the best of your ability, or ask for the help of a GM.[/INDENT]
[B][COLOR=SILVER][3.4.0.][/COLOR] - [/B]No God-Modding or metagaming. This refers to controlling or manipulating another player's character in way that is completely self-beneficial and not pre-approved by the other player. This also includes being untouchable against NPC characters as well as being all knowing. Keep your character humanized or risk being expelled from the RP.

[B][COLOR=SILVER][3.5.0.][/COLOR] - [/B]This is a Character Driven RP, and as such you are encouraged and expected to take charge of your character's sub-plots and storylines. This is a favourite rule of mine, and that said, there will be a heavy emphasis on collaborative activities and team building as well. The GMs will be leading the RP in the traditional sense with a driving plot and will ensure the RP keeps moving however we do want to see you develop your characters and produce your own plots. However we don't want to see you lock your character out of interaction and focus solely on your character and their 'world'. No one enjoys watching you play with yourself, it's always better to let someone else join in on the fun.

[INDENT][B][COLOR=SILVER][3.5.1.][/COLOR] - [/B]Player Character's are not to be killed without permission nor that player's supporting cast members. It is fine to kill nameless NPC's, but PC's or important NPC's will require authorization by their creator except in the event of a GM event.[/INDENT]
[B][COLOR=SILVER][3.6.0.][/COLOR] - [/B]Plots should not be completed in one or two posts. Your character should not be able to stop an entire robbery by themselves or put out a city block on fire with relative ease. That said obviously different power levels do apply so if you do manage to put out the fire, solve the cause of it. If you stop the robbery find out who hired the gang or what their motives were. If all else fails do some character development or show us some ‘Slice of Life’ moments for you character if you do solve a plot quickly.[/INDENT]

[INDENT]In this RP, I realize that relationships are a part of this. While I have no problem with this, I do want it kept a specific way to avoid breaking any rules. As part of RPG's rule, mature content is forbidden on the forums. You may however use the standard fade-to-black technique if you desire and that will be fine, just keep it PG-13/14A (May contain: violence, coarse language and/or sexually suggestive scenes.) both leading and following up. Please use your common sense if you're going to seek a relationship within the RP. You have been warned of my expectations on this matter and should you fail to follow through you will be asked to leave the roleplay and reported for breaking site rules.[/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT]

[INDENT][INDENT]Yes, it is a hard reboot and adaption of my previous original universe RPs.[/INDENT][/INDENT]

[INDENT][INDENT]Simply yes, while Crestwood Hollow itself is a fictitious city, it is still set inside the very real state of New Hampshire and country known as the United States of America. Real world cities such as New York, San Francisco, all exist with no changes outside of the technological advancements made in the lore.[/INDENT][/INDENT]

[INDENT][INDENT]Yes, in fact, that would be preferable to adapting a character originally conceived for another RP. However, there is no penalty for re-using a character and it won't slow or affect your acceptance. I just prefer fresh ideas, especially with the Hyperhuman concept.[/INDENT][/INDENT]

[INDENT][INDENT]The aim is to gather four to six reliable players who will make up the group.[/INDENT][/INDENT]

[INDENT][INDENT]The ideal powersets will be those which allow the character to affect the world around them. Powers which leave the character with physical deformities will be given a low priority in acceptance as the RP is based on the players attending a public school. Throughout the RP, the character's abilities will grow so they should be written with development in mind.[/INDENT][/INDENT]

[INDENT][INDENT]No. However, in the event that your character died in the IC, you may create a replacement player provided you weren't removed from the RP.[/INDENT][/INDENT]

[INDENT][INDENT]Your character should struggle with morality, after all suddenly being gifted with powers above those of mere mortals could lead to some overwhelming temptation whether to get revenge or use them for self-gain. But that said, your character should not spiral out of control, or at least the group should step in before then. The overall idea is that our characters do become heroes in the end.[/INDENT][/INDENT]

[INDENT][INDENT]The plot will follow a group of students who are being taught to embrace their Hyperhuman nature and learn to use their abilities. The group will ideally bond and grow together eventually leaving the classroom behind to protect their home from both others like them and forces no one has ever seen before.[/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT]
