Read the rules, obviously. I shouldn’t have to say this. If I find out you didn’t read them, you’ll be rejected with no second chances.

This is meant to be a very high quality roleplay; people who join should be good roleplayers.

Quick CLARIFICATION. This is has a very general plot, obviously. Light and Dark fighting in a war on a fictional planet. In truth, this will end up being a universe full of several SMALLER roleplays, able to interact with one another and form connections. These numerous, smaller roleplays will coincide with the general theme of Cascerius’ civil war, but they could be very diverse. For example, there could be a 1x1 type forbidden romance, but as time goes on, soldiers find out—rip the couple apart—and an adventure starts with them separated and meeting new people. There could be a band of assassins out to kill the Council of Light. There could be the lives of soldiers in battle. There could be infighting among regions in realms. Life of prisoners of war. The possibilities are endless.

Be literate. Good diction, spelling, grammar, don’t start every sentence with he/she, the usual. Posts should be longer. 300-400 words should be around the minimum, with 1,000 word posts not uncommon, and 2,000-3,000 being the higher end.

There is to be no powerplaying. I understand this can be difficult if you’re writing 2,000 word posts, but I don’t care. Shorten posts if you must, and only state the action of your character. No automatic hits, stating they feel an emotion (she cowered in fear at my blade), no anything of the sort. YOU don’t know how they’d react, for you are not the author of said character. That being said, don’t take advantage of this. Get hit in fights, don’t be unrealistically fearless, etc.

Characters should be interesting and detailed. They should be dynamic, round characters with generous development. They should bring something to the world, not just be there. They should have a good backstory. Your character sheet should be very detailed. It’s an application, and I’m only having good roleplayers in this. I will reject people. Don’t take it personally. But, don’t be afraid to submit a character… I guess I have a tendency to intimidate people with my rules? Hm.

Be active. If you could post every day, that would be fantastic. But, at the very least, I ask for a post every other day. That’s 3-4 times a week, minimum. I dislike stalled roleplays, so take this rule to heart.

Ditching. Okay, this is acceptable. BUT, you must do it right. Let us know if you wish to drop out, and we’ll kill of your character properly. If you have a very important position, like royalty or a general, this is even more important. Though, if you take that position, I’d hope you’d have the decency to stick with it.

It’s perfectly alright to go back and forth with a person for 10 pages. People just tuning in can ask for recaps, though I encourage everyone to get around to reading prior post at SOME point in time. This is about others just as much as it is you.

There are quite a bit of realms. Thus, you may have quite a bit of characters. If you can play 5-6 characters, be my guest. Just make sure you aren’t neglecting their storylines and lagging behind everyone else. It’s all up to you and what you can realistically handle.

Content. This is a serious roleplay. There’ll be discrimination, treachery, poverty, violence, death, profanity, romance, blood, gore, dark themes, magic, war, assholes, torture, etc. I’m okay with swearing frequently. You want to swear every other word? (not literally, EVERY OTHER WORD, this is an exaggeration) Fine by me. You can have romance, just fade out and take it to PM if you get that far. Not everyone likes to read through that stuff. You can have very detailed violence. You can be an asshole and harm other characters. You can discriminate and hate other races. This is serious content.

Drama. Conflict. Deceit. Betrayal. All the like. Please, I beseech thee, utilize the aforementioned tools. You want to start drama? Be my guest. I never understood the game masters who say, “consult me before starting ANY drama!” You can’t stop a person from creating turbulence in the REAL WORLD, so WHY on EARTH would you want to in a ROLEPLAY? Really, people. Start what you want. This is war; act like it. Be an asshole. Be a liar. Get in a relationship. Do something forbidden! (in game forbidden, don’t you dare disobey my rules). Start a revolution! Start a rebellion! DO SOMETHING. Have fun doing it. (Oh, by the way, please include 5 random symbols in your reservation post. For example, #$@*%. Scatter them throughout. Think of it as a password. Thank you.)



This is a fantasy roleplay; thus, artwork is allowed. However, there will be absolutely NO ANIME pictures. You know what an anime looks like; they have those eyes, that hair, that completely unrealistic anime vibe about them. We all know the style. If you have an anime picture anywhere in your character sheet, you will not be accepted. Period. I’m very unforgiving with this, as I believe I’ve made it quite clear.


Still, ART is allowed. If you’re playing an orc, dragon, angel, elf, or etc, you obviously need to use artwork. There are MANY talented artists on Daviant Art and plenty of boards on pinterest. You can find amazing, realistic looking artwork to represent your characters. They must NOT be pixilated/blurry, but they can be any medium. Painting, photography, computer illustration, etc. They just need to look realistic, not cartoony or anime style.


You can use supplement pictures, (for example, a non-realistic painting of a girl dancing with a skeleton) and these supplements can be cartoonish, so long as they’re good quality. They may represent the mood/personality of your character or something of that nature. Still, NO ANIME STYLE for supplements. If you have a more humanoid creature, one option is to find a human picture and SUPPLIMENT it with artwork. I’ve been very successful in finding lookalikes with art and real people. Very successful. And it just makes your form look that much more impressive.


TIP. One of the most interesting things is when you betray your allies, but you don’t LET THEM KNOW you’re betraying them. I greatly encourage OOC communication (start up the chat, go to forums, PM, etc. Converse and make friends) but, if you are planning to lie, why not surprise the author as well as the character? Have your character’s thoughts be a lie. Have their actions be a lie. Hell, their entire backstory on the character sheet can be a lie. (Make it good, though, as you need it to be good for me to accept you). Act like you really are with them, and then BAM—change your character. Surprise us all. Drop obscure hints. You know the drill. (Psst, one more thing. Put your favorite or least favorite quote in your reservation thread. Huzzah for passwords!)


Don’t be afraid to have a difficult character. A dark, quiet type. An asshole. An insane person. Just play them right and it makes things interesting. No Mary-sues or whatever. No perfect characters. Everyone needs conflict, shortcomings, blah blah blah. I usually like to have more bad points than good. ^^
