1. Commitment
If you submit a character you are promising to dedicate yourself to this role-play until it is finished or external consequences force you to leave. This means one post per week unless I have been notified by pm or in OOC AND participating in plot development and giving ideas. This rp is not a free ride- I want everyone to be part of creating this world.

2. Continuation
Despite what it sounds like above, I am not naïve. Most of you will ditch without warning at some point. But I am not allowing those people to ruin the rp. If someone drops out/doesn't post I will kill off their character and open up a new slot allowing new characters to come in and replace them. In this way the rp can continue indefinitely if I want it to.

3. Literacy
This is a literate rp. I cannot and will not stress it enough. Around 500 words per post. There are so many ways to do this it isn't funny- create a new drama with your character, have a flashback, explain intricacies of thought etc. etc. Literacy includes grammar (yes, I know everyone stuffs up sometimes) but also maturity in writing. I appreciate clever posts with lots to respond to and in depth understanding of both your own character and others.

4. Characters
I'm wanting interesting characters. Hence why I wrote up brief description of character interactions and thoughts. I am 100% happy for any of these to be changed/warped to how you want them as long as I deem them interesting. Work with the other roleplayers to create fascinating relationship dynamics. Personalities, pictures, ages and abilities are all subject to your change, even to a point the relationship style i.e. can have twins, romance etc. Just let me know in reservations. Also please note that when a character dies (as it will probably happen when someone drops out) please have your characters react to the death. Too often a character simply disappears in an rp and is never spoken about again. Never happens in real life- every death will impact individuals in different ways.

5. Reservations
To reserve a character let me know in OOC which one you want and any changes you wish to make to the ones I have outlined in the plot. I also want a pm from you giving my permission to have your character killed if you don't post once per week and don't reply to my reminder pm after three days. I am happy to have people compete for characters- it rarely happens as normally one person won't actually submit a character or their character isn't detailed enough to be accepted. If your character is detailed and interesting- you will be accepted. I will consider opening up two more slots if interest permits.

6. Plot
I will be driving the plot from the character Sam by creating events etc. However I also want you to be driving the plot by having a character that causes tension and interesting dynamics in the group. To help this along I will pm you your characters mission. You can choose to keep this a secret or reveal it in your posts through your characters thoughts. I don't mind- what I do want is for characters to be aggressive, irritating and risky. When all the writers are concerned about having a 'nice' character loved by all the rp becomes boring. All people cause problems at some point.

7. Content
This rp will be bloody and gory most likely. As such you must accept that most likely your character will be injured, perhaps severely at some point. You will only need to ask permission to hurt another character if it involves something severely debilitating or death. I will monitor everything else and ask for changes if I deem it necessary. Other than that I want writers to simply accept that their character is now injured and move on. I will do the same with my character.
Sexual content is forbidden by me for personal reasons. So don't go there. Swearing I also hate, but as long as it's not excessive and is used within reason I will accept.

8. Contribution
I adore role-players who message me with questions, plot ideas and extra bits and pieces. I want us to be a great team all working together. The more you are part of creating the plot the more likely we will have dedicated people involved :)
