GENERAL
--------------------------------------------------
▍MINIMUM/LIMITATIONS FOR POSTING: This is a Semi-Literate site! Therefore, here at Eternal Knight we have a simple request of no less then 200 words per post. This number has been put in place to ensure that posts made here can be worked with by a fellow member.
▍GRAMMAR USAGE: Please no text talk. Also make sure to spell check your posts and use proper punctuation.
▍POSTING DEADLINES: On average you should be able to shovel out at least 1 post a week. If you have an idea that you may be gone just take it up with the Admin. If something happens and you have no way of letting someone know, you can explain when you come back to us! Password Letter One: R
▍ICONS/SIGNATURES: To keep people from stretching out the board or having multiple signatures, we ask that ALL icons are only 100x100 pixels and signatures be at the MOST 300x500 pixels. They may be smaller, just not lager!
▍POWER PLAYING: This is a nasty habit that some people have, but I would like to think no one here would try it. All the same I’d like to note that deciding what a character, that is not yours, is going to do is not only rude to the other person but is a source of conflict. Please don't do it. This also applies for creating family members or close friends for other characters without their permission. If it's in the Original story line then by all means, but if not please be curtious and contact the member before setting up any side stories involving them.
MEMBERS
--------------------------------------------------
▍MEMBER RESPECT: Be nice to every member. If a conflict is started then you must see an Administrator about this. If there is a good relationship among members then the Role-playing will become less stressful and everyone can post knowing that they won’t be discriminated for it. Don’t talk about other people’s faults or flaws, because everyone has them. Password Letter Two: O
▍OVERLOAD/STRESS: If you are ever caving into peer pressure, having a stressful time in your life, or just can’t keep up and maybe just have a writer’s block, then you’re welcome to leave a note in the announcement board or discuss it with an Admin. Just make sure someone knows before you leave. If you go 4 weeks without stopping in and no word of absence your account will be deleted.
▍ACCOUNTS: Here at Eternal Knight we try not to stifle creativity, so you may have as many accounts as you like! Just so long as you can keep them all active! This goes double for Canon roles! We would like it if members taking a canon role stuck to only one but if for some reason you can juggle two then by all means have at it, just know that more will be expected of you posting wise in this instance.
OTHER
--------------------------------------------------
▍CHARACTER TRYOUTS: In the application section just fill out the required information as it is requested. Once accepted you may begin role playing!
▍IN CHARACTER: All we have to say about this is, if you try out for a role, make sure you keep in that character when posting. Creating friendships and relationships along the way is your choice and in fact the staff encourages it! Just try to remain in character as best you can while going about this. Password Letter Three: S
▍IC NOTE 1: We are going to permit smoking, drinking and scandal here for the simple fact that these things happen in real life. None of this activity is permitted on Cross Academy grounds, this is STRICTLY in town activity. Also, if you intend to do something life altering like get married or have a baby, PLEASE let the Admin know via PM so that it may be cleared!
▍IC NOTE 2: I want to address the Pureblood Vampire population up front. I would like to keep this group to a minimum. To do this I ask that anyone taking a Pureblood stick to the known families that have possible surviving members outside of the Main Cast.
Some suggestions are: Hiou, Shoto, Shirabuki, and Hanadagi. Also I would like it if any possible applicants would PM the Admin account that they intend to apply with a Pureblood title so that I may feel out the character prior to application time. Please note that not all who apply will be accepted! Bear this in mind at all times. Password Letter Four: E
The Staff here at Eternal Knight reserved the right to change these rules at ANY time. So please watch for amendments as they are posted!
