Just a few quick rules, per usual. I would write out an entire paragraph for each, but honestly, you guys know the drill, so I'll just briefly state them.
1. No outside drama - This has never really been a problem, but I do just want to say it just in case. This is for fun, an outlet, not fighting. Obviously drama in the rp is fine, in fact I encourage it. You all know I love angst.
2. PLEASE ASK ME BEFORE MAKING BIG DECISIONS WITH YOUR CHARACTERS - If you are deciding something will happen to your character, and you think it will affect the main plot, please ask me. I only care if it will affect the main plot though, if you want to create your own subplots, fine by me. Again, I encourage it.
3. NO OP CHARACTERS - Again, self-explanatory. But I absolutely hate it when people do this. Nobody is perfect. Your character is not god. Sure, they may think they are, but they're not. I mean, I understand if people are skilled. But nobody is going to be able to kill an entire army without being injured, or find the cure to all illnesses in seconds. You get my point.
4. Please make new characters if we normally rp - This one I'm going to be lenient on. And, I'm going to say you can make old characters, I am too. Obviously I'm going to make Kylee. However, I'm going to say that for every returning character, please make a new character if you can. I want to make new plots, not the same plots over and over. For that we need new people. If you are unable to do this, just tell me and I'll let it slide most likely.
5. Please try to be active - I really don't want this rp dying. I do, however, understand there's a lot going on in everyone's lives. I have the same case. If you aren't there for a majority of a chapter or something, feel free to ask me anything. I will be creating a chapter that has quick summaries for each role-play chapter so if people fall behind, they can just go there and catch up with the main points. But still don't be scared to ask me questions, no matter what they may be about.
6. RESPECT OTHERS - Again, I haven't had an issue, but just in case.
7. Stay true to the rp universe- Nobody is going to have magic powers, or whatever. Remember the plot, these kids were in space their entire lives. Sure, some of them may have done a lot of research, but just remember they have never been on earth until now. Also, I'm following the book slightly, so it has actually been three-hundred years since the world 'ended', so a lot more will have changed.
8. MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE EVERYONE - It becomes very boring and very frustrating if someone isn't being included. That being said, don't get angry and quit if nobody is talking to your characters at the moment, just ask if you can interact with other characters, or have your characters approach others, it's not on everyone else. But seriously, make sure you include others.
9. Finally, please RP in the correct format - Third person please. And keep any out of character notes in parentheses or just make it obvious
