Characters:
Roleplaying:
PBs
Misc.
1. Your character must be believable. No Mary Sues/Gary Stus.
2. Please register as your character's first name. As soon as you validate it, please change it to your character's first and last name.
3. Please try to get some male characters on here. We don't want a bunch of girls running around with two guys. That's crazy.
4. There is no character limit, just don't take on more than you can handle.
5. I will ask that for every two female characters, you take on a male character as well. It's only fair.
6. Canons are always more appreciated than OCs; however, please make sure that if you have a canon, you can be active.
7. With OCs, we're going to have to say no "secret sibling" sort of deals. We don't want any third Elrics or Roy's little sister. The girls at Madame Christmas's bar are fair game, but please don't make up a character just so that they're cool. If you're unsure about whether or not your OC fits under here, please PM a mod.
8. We're also going to have to put a limit of one major canon per player. Major canons include: Mustang, Hawkeye, Havoc, Fuery, Breda, Falman, Armstrong, Ed, Al, and Winry. If you want to take another canon and want to know if they're major, feel free to PM the mods.
9. Out of character apps will be denied. You'd think that I wouldn't have to say this, but I once saw a Belarus who loved fluffy animals and cuddly things and hated knives and violence. Please keep your character in-character.
Roleplaying:
1. There is no minimum word count here, but please try to make sure that you give whoever you're rping with has enough to reply with. No one-line replies, please.
2. Since this is proboards, please make sure that nothing goes above PG-13.
3. All roleplay posts must be in past tense, third person.
4. See that "spell check" button at the bottom of the post screen? Use it. The only exceptions are letters and journals, and even then, only misspell if your character would.
PBs
1. Anime/Manga pbs. No video game characters, unless it's one that's animated like an anime (i.e. no FF or KH pbs; it just doesn't fit in with the site). No real life PBs, either. If you'd like to use someone from a video game or a celebrity, please consult one of the admins, and we will discuss it.
2. For Xingese characters, characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender can be acceptable pbs as their clothes are more fit to ancient China than most popular anime characters, and the style is heavily influenced by anime. (Also - Arakawa's Hero Tales is a good source as well - and it's the same style as FMA!)
3. For Ishvalan characters, any anime character with tan skin and red eyes is acceptable, even though Brotherhood dictates that all Ishvalans have white hair, let's be reasonable, that's very hard. Brown eyes are also acceptable, but they would have to be tinted in photoshop. If the eyes are covered so that you cannot see the eye colour (like Miles), that's fine. (Photoshopped Katara, Sokka, Yue, etc. will also work - just make sure that they have been photoshopped to have red eyes)
4. If your PB is a character from another anime/manga (i.e. not an FMA character), please claim them or you will risk losing it. If you've drawn/requested/commissioned the drawing you're using, then post that on the claim thread.
Misc.
1. First come, first serve. No challenges.
2. I've already said this multiple times, but holds last for five days. Your hold is over at 11.59 pm the date written on the claims list. If it says you have the hold until the 15th of August, you have until 11.59 pm 15 August to get a finished app up.
3. As soon as you're accepted, please add yourself to the Who's Who list. Please do this for every new character you have. It helps keep everything organised! ^_^
4. As soon as you register please add 21guns@rocketship.com to your email address book (and be sure to register with an email that you don't use for spam). This is how we will alert members of urgent information and site updates.
