RULES
MAKE SURE TO READ THOROUGHLY!
Hello there! First off, welcome to When Hearts Fall. This is an AU Sailor Moon Roleplay which means that none of the original characters themselves exist, although their character concepts may. Which means you could have a shy Sailor Mars or maybe an outspoken, arrogant Mercury. Please make sure to read everything In-depth below!
RATING
When it comes to the rating of the site, it's very lenient. However whatever is written must comply with the Proboards TOS, so preferably keep it PG-14. This means that mild cussing (damn, hell, minor use of shit) may be used. No F-bombs or having your character cuss every other word. Because of the rating, sexual subjects are fade-to-black and must be taken off-site if the players involved wish to continue. Please abide by this rule as there may be younger members.
SPAMMING/ADVERTISING
Please do not advertise anywhere except on the advertisement board as anywhere else will count as spam. Any spam found will be deleted permanently. This applies to plot posting as well since no one likes being harassed about a plot with a certain character.
MEMBER CONDUCT
Be polite guys. WHF is intended to be a safe, friendly community where anyone is allowed to state their own opinions and be accepted. Keep all personal or offensive talk off-site and away from anywhere that this site may be involved. This DOES include Discord and Skype. Any members or guests found breaking this rule will be banned immediately. Bullying, flaming and personal arguments will not be tolerated as it ruins the community.
ACCOUNTS
This is an account per-character site. What it means is that you must have a separate account for each character that is created. OOC accounts are reserved for Staff Only to avoid any confusion. Please chose one character account to be your 'main' account for convenience.
CHARACTER LIMIT(S)
There is no character limit as such. But please make sure you only take on as many characters as you can handle. They all must be active otherwise you will be asked to drop some. In order to assure this, you must have fifteen in character posts (roleplay posts, not plot posts ect.) in order to create a character from third on wards. The first character is free to create without hitting this requirement.
STAFF HARASSMENT
This is not accepted. Don't bombard staff in the chatbox, PMs or on the site itself about reviewing apps or modding threads. Staff also have real life that they must attend to and cannot be online 24/7. Apps will be reviewed as soon as possible but you must be patient.
PLAGIARISM/STEALING
Just don't. No works from other sites may be displayed unless it's your own work under the same alias you're using (so it can be checked). If something isn't your work, it is likely you will be found out as it will differ from your writing style.
WRITING EXPECTATIONS
WHF is semi-literate without a word count. This means that grammar is expected (we know that a typo pops up every now and again) but we're not Grammar Nazis. Just write to the best of your ability so that your rp partner can respond. Preferably just a paragraph is fine and you don't have to write as much as anyone else. We're here to pull each other up and expand our own writing skills. Just no one-lining anything.
STAFF GET THE FINAL SAY
Not only to staff of WHF get the final say in any argument, but they reserve the right to alter these rules at any time.
REGISTRATION
When registering for the forum, please use your alias or a shortened version. (ex. star) For every subsequent account, register as your alias with the corresponding number. (ex. star02, star03) This makes it easier to tag characters and helps people remember which characters you play. When altering your display name, please change it to your characters name in all caps in first last format. (ex. USAGI TSUKINO) No matter where they may come from in the world.
CANONS
You may notice a few characters running around the site with a 'Senshi' tag or 'Knight' tag. Well here on WHF we use an awakening system. This will be opened every now and again for characters to awaken themselves for development (or because you want some cool powers). The only character this does not apply to are the Kings and Queens as they must be applied for directly. Confusing? Don't worry. Poke around and it will begin to make sense.
IMAGES
Profile images are 100x100 and please don't use gifs for these. Although it can be fun to watch your character move, this is to keep the site looking nice and tidy. Please refrain from adding signatures to characters. Should you need assistance, a member or staff will be happy to help you find images of your character.
FACECLAIMS
This is an animanga roleplay site. What this means is that only characters from video games, webtoons, comics, manga, catoons (certain cartoons will not be permitted. judged on a case-by-case basis) and anime. No original art will be accepted and Sailor Moon faceclaims are permitted only for certain characters. Refer to canon list for more information.
POWERPLAYING/GODDMODDING AND OTHER THINGS
Please just don't. It takes to fun out of roleplaying for everyone. Staff will contact anyone who is on the tipping point or has committed these.
FIGHTING SYSTEM
The chosen fighting system for the site is the T-1 fighitng system. This means that skills do not require a cooldown, duration, range or backlash. However please don't just go crazy and make your character god. There are always weaknesses in an ability. Use your best judgement. Staff will step in if necessary.
AU?
As you can see, this is an AU Sailor Moon roleplay set in the 30th century. What this means is that you won't see Rei Hino or Minako Aino running around even if their characters are shown on the canon list. Every character is open to your own creation. You could have Queen Venus be a bully or maybe Sailor Uranus be quiet and a coward. It's up to you.
NO ADVERTISING
Simple right?
DRAMA, RANTING, TROLLING, ECT
WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. At all. Please guys use common sense. Like the site, the chatbox is supposed to be a friendly environment. Don't ruin it.
