hey there I'm new to the site as some of you can tell. I need help in understanding what is allowed in the rps, as well as what are some of the basics I need to know when role playing.If anyone is offering to give me advice you can post either here or send me a pm.

Hi and welcome! I'm Billie. Nice to meet you. :)

Here are a few links that can help you out -

Also, if you need assistance in actually role playing, feel free to contact any of the folks on here who have dark blue names (see my own). We're Mentors, and we're here to assist folks who wish for help becoming stronger role players.

You'll be able to Private Message folks after you make a few posts throughout the site, so find some things that interest you and start joining in on the discussions!


As of right now, after you get a good grasp of what's okay and what's not okay for roleplays, start having a look around and see if anything is of interest to you. Some of the best places (in my opinion) to start are the Role Players Wanted forum (found here) and the OOC (Out of Character) forum foundhere.

I hope this will help you, and if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to post!

okay um...what the deal about yaoi on here? is it okay or not?

It's alright as long as it doesn't get hot and heavy. Keep all romances, Yaoi, Yuri, Het...and anything else you can think of PG-13. That way, you limit the disturbance to other RPers and so you don't get banned. For example, maybe a small little peck on the cheek or a sweet and simple kiss. ^^ Hope this helped.

Homosexuality, however, is allowed. As long as the RP doesn't center around the character's relationship.

What? guys make up your mind you are telling me two things that i do not know what to believe in. Some of you are telling me yes its alllowed while a few of you say that it is not. I need help understanding this people.

Demonic: Sko and Kronos are both staff. You can tell because their names are in a different color from the rest of us and because of the tag just beneath their names.

As they said, romance and homosexuality are both allowed as long as they are not the focus of the roleplay. If you create a topic requesting yaoi alone, it will probably be locked. The same goes for any romance only RP. They are not considered literary, but cybering. You can read the nuances of the different forums by looking at the stickies at the top of each section.

That said, welcome to the site! I hope you find some fun here.
