[COLOR=DARKGRAY][COLOR=GRAY][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]R U L E S:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT] 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/Discord or towards the GM, other players or simply a generally poor attitude. Other reasons for application denial will be listed in the following rules.

All Character Sheets must be submitted to the GM(s) using the provided skeleton. Character Sheets that do not use the provided skeleton will be rejected and asked to comply with the set standard. Any applications must be posted in the OOC for review before being reposted in the Character Tab. No review or feedback will be provided on incomplete sheets although the GM will be happy to answer any questions about the game, its world or lore.

All characters sheets submitted will be 'Hyperhumans' and should be written to reflect such. That said, all characters will be starting off either aware or only suspicious of their true nature and/or abilities. Keep weaknesses, flaws, and limitations in mind while writing your sheet. Give them reasons that make them need a team or allies to support them. Most importantly, give your character room to grow and develop. A large part of the RP will be based on the growth and development of your characters and their abilities so keep that in mind. 

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.

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.

Absolutely no 'OOC' chatter will be tolerated 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.

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 are also expected but small mistakes here and there are understandable. Blatant offences will be called out.

This is a Character-Driven RP, and as such you are encouraged and expected to take charge of your character's subplots 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.

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]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]Powers will initially be undefined. Your character will have a latent talent related to their ancestry that they may or may not be aware of. As the IC progresses and your character grows, they may begin to further develop their abilities and have a more substantial powerset based on the rules of magic in this world.[/INDENT][/INDENT]

[INDENT][INDENT][s]Initially no, however, the ultimate goal is for your character to learn to use magic. You will begin the RP either unaware or vaguely aware that there is something different about you. This will become more clear through the IC and the 'Study Group' sessions. Eventually, you will learn to control this talent and develop your magical abilities.[/s][/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][/COLOR]
