Introduction
As this suggests, you're taking the part of one of these characters, or someone opposing them. Make sure there are at the very least the same number of good characters as there are evil. Preferably, there would be more good characters than evil characters. Pretty much any character goes as long as they're not overpowered (although the evil characters can be more powerful)
GENERAL RULES
1. Use a line of dashes (----) to signify a change in setting or character. (Ex. Since possession is apparently pretty popular, dashes would be used if your character were to change from possessed to normal within the span of one post.)
2. Use italics to show character thoughts (As in what your character is thinking to themselves without saying it out loud), as well as new settings (Ex. September 3rd, 2010, Somewhere in California).
3. Use bold words to show shouting or bold words surrounded by asterisks for loud sound effects. (Ex. *BOOM* *CRASH* *BANG*) Sound effects that aren't loud should just be normal type surrounded by asterisks.
4. Don't double post or force someone to post just so that you can post again. (Duh.)
5. Control only your character. If you ask someone a question, let them respond to it, don't respond for them. If someone is inactive for a while (Ex. Hours or days), you can take over minor control of their character if it's necessary to keep the thread open. Don't do anything that the person wouldn't do themselves, and don't do any major, story-changing actions with their character. If you don't want others to be able to control your character ever, just say so.
6. Don't write people into a corner. In other words, don't make it so that other people can't do anything to get out of whatever situation you put them in. Also, don't force them to take a certain action. Allow them to choose what they want to do.
7. Don't kill people (Unless they have some way of coming back to life). >_> This one should be obvious. How are they supposed to roleplay if they're dead? You can injure people, knock them out, break bones, etc. as long as they can continue their journey eventually, somehow. If you tire of your current persona and you want to switch to a new one, you can write the old one out (If you want to kill yourself, go ahead.) and introduce the new one.
8. Try to be understandable when you post. This means that you should at least make an attempt at making your grammar/spelling easy to understand. (If English isn't your native language or you have some other factor hindering your grammar/spelling, this probably doesn't apply to you.)
9. Don't spam or purposefully derail the story. Try to keep in with what other people are posting, and don't go off randomly changing the entire topic. (If you're separated from the other posters, then it's fine to have a different topic. Try to join with a large group as quickly as you can, though.)
10. You can write in 1st or 3rd person point of view. Personally, I prefer 1st, since you're the one posting, but it's your decision. If you're writing in 3rd person point of view, try to make it clear which person you are.
11. Posts can be as long as you want, but try to make it at least one complete sentence. One word posts are confusing, too short, and seen as spam. One sentence posts are alright, but try to keep most posts at around two sentences minimum.
12. If it isn't obvious who you are responding to in your post, copy and paste only the sentence(s) you are responding to from the other person's post and put it before your response. Make sure it is clear that the sentence was said by someone else. (This means that you should set it apart from the rest of your post by coloring their words or labeling it with their name.) Try not to quote posts unless you are out of character.
13. If you are going to be performing huge, story-changing actions in the story (Ex. Something that will disrupt the current task or affect a majority of the group), you MUST be a relatively active poster on the forums. (Ex. Checking the forums at least once every day or so to respond to posts) This will prevent future occurrences of people making important posts and then going inactive, forcing the RP to a standstill while people wait for them. You don't have to be an active poster just to post in the RP, but try to refrain from completely altering the story until you can be more active.
13a. Obviously, nobody expects you to watch the RP 24/7. If you will be going inactive temporarily (for a long period of time such as a few days or a week), then notify us in the OOC section. This will remind us not to ask you any questions or do anything that relies on your response until you get back.
14. If you want to join the story, try to wait until after one of the slower points where most of the posters are asleep or at school, in order to avoid getting ninja'd or ignored. You might also want to consider waiting until after any major action scenes end, but that's your choice. In your first post, try to integrate yourself with others in the group. Make sure to say the most important info about your character. The "I've been watching you guys the whole time from the shadows" entrance is starting to get old. Please find a more creative way to integrate yourself, and try not to pick an overpowered "god" character. The below character skeleton is one of the easiest ways to put everything you need, but it's not necessary to use it.
