Character/Roleplaying Rules
- Make an Application You must make an application for each of your characters before you begin to roleplay with them. This application must also be accepted by a staff member before you can roleplay or submit your claims too.
- Check the Claims, such as FaceClaims, before you create your character so you won’t accidently take someone’s Faceclaim and become their character’s twin. If you do want to be someone’s twin though you can have the same faceclaim, you just must get their permission first.
- One Account per Character You must have one account per character. This is so there is no confusion when roleplaying, or anything else for that matter.
- Display Name Your Display name should be your character name. It doesn’t matter if it’s just the first name, or last name, or both, it just needs to be there. Also capitalization doesn’t matter.
- Age Limits You can have any character of any age, you just must realistically be able to roleplay.
- Character Limit You can have as much as 8 characters at one time on this site. If you wish to have more, you must buy them from the store.
- Canons You cannot be any character from the TV series The Walking Dead unless, and only unless you claim them in the Canons Thread.
- No Gary or Mary Sues All characters must, with no exceptions, have flaws. No one is perfect, no matter how pretty or smart, ect.
- Getting Rid of Characters You must keep a character for at least a month before getting rid of it. If you do want to get rid of it, once the monthly activity check rolls around you can put your character up for removal.
- Character Creation If you want to create a character, and you already have one or more characters, all of these characters must have 15 posts before you can.
- No Godmodding Remember, this is a realistic roleplay, and you aren’t Chuck Norris. Nobody can jump over a bullet, or always be lucky. Actually losing or getting hurt in fights makes roleplaying more fun, for not only you but the person you are roleplaying with.
- Knowing the Plot This is a very important rule, and one you might use the most. If you have not watched The Walking Dead, you might want to try looking at The Walking Dead Wiki. The episodes can also be found on Netflix if you want to watch them.
- Grammar Please at least try to have good grammar. Especially no ‘text talk’ either.
- Post Size When roleplaying, it is important that your posts aren’t just a couple sentences. You posts should be around 200 words, or more.
- Electricity Rules Since the world is in ruin, there is very little electricity. The only sources of electricity that is possible is maybe from a generator, or some other realistic energy source. Please take this in mind when roleplaying, and any other things that aren't availible in an apocalypse, like cell phone service and elevators.
Shoutbox Rules
- No Fighting If you have a problem with someone, take it to a staff member.
- No Spamming DO NOT SPAM THE SHOUTBOX! N'uff said.
- Be Nice The Shoutbox is for chatting and such. Try to be nice!
