Welcome to Eureka! In order to keep the site a pleasant place for everyone we have a few guidelines. Please take some time to look through them, because even if you choose not to they will be enforced.
1.) Treat everyone with respect and don't be a jerk. This includes people you don't like.
2.) Don't spam. This includes replies that contribute nothing to the topic (such as just xD), or responses that are just so far off topic that it looks like you posted in the wrong thread.
3.) If someone is doing something you don't like, or is breaking the rules, complain to a staff member. We tend to trust our members, so we may not even know if someone is doing something you don't like, ICly or OOCly. Even if it's a minor thing, don't be afraid to bring it up to us privately. It's not whiny, we promise.
4.) Don't post in any IC areas before your character is accepted. Posting in OOC areas before then is fine.
5.) There are two custom profile fields in the mini-profile: a link to the character profile and Played by. Please fill them out so people can easily find the character's profile and know who is playing that character.
6.) Follow the Proboards Terms of Service. This means keep everything safe for work, don't promote or do illegal things, and post in English.
1.) There is no word minimum or maximum. Post whatever you think is necessary to say what you want to say.
2.) Posts should have decent spelling and grammar and should not use chat speak. No one expects you to be perfect, your posts just need to be readable.
3.) No godmoding. Your character is not all powerful and should not act that way.
4.) No power playing. Don't control other peoples' characters without their permission. As a note, when this happens in a thread we will often assume that the player got permission, so if they don't and you don't like it, be sure to complain.
5.) No metagaming. You should not use information you know OOCly in character if your character has no way of knowing that information.
6.) Liquid time is allowed. This means your characters can be in more than one thread at once.
1.) No Mary Sues. Your character needs to be well-rounded and have flaws.
2.) There is no character limit, so feel free to play as many as you want. If your character occupies an important position (such as the king of Alisia) then it's important that you keep them active. If you don't, the position may be taken away from you.
3.) Make a new account for every character you make, and make that account's display name your character's name. You can use their first and last name, a nickname or an alias. Just use whatever you want them to be known by.
1.) You can use any type of image to represent your character, whether that be anime/cartoons, photos, drawings/paintings, original art, nothing at all or anything else I can't think of right now.
2.) People can use the same character/image to represent their character (IE, there is no face claim). Similar looking people exist in real life, so in the end the important part is how the character is described, not which images are used.
3.) All the graphics in your profile (avatars, signatures, etc) should be of your character, or an image that's not of a person or animal if you don't have any images for your character.
4.) Avatars should be no larger than 150x150.
5.) Signatures should not be any larger than 500x250. Don't add a massive wall of text in your signature either.
6.) All images must be safe for work, and must follow the Proboards Terms of Service.
7.) Don't steal or hotlink other peoples' images.
