-Be respectful.
-Be mindful.
-No god-modding. For people new to RP, god-modding is when you take control of another person's character. That means you can't go "[My character] punches [your character] in the face, staggering him/her." What you CAN do is "[My character] throws a punch at [your character]'s face." Indicate intent, NOT result.
-Don't RP outside of your character's ability. That means don't make a character dodge attacks they wouldn't be able to, just so they won't lose a fight. There has to be a winner and a loser. Sometimes that loser might be you.
-NO killing off a character without the player's permission.
-Threads are NOT connected unless otherwise stated. They all stand independent of one another, and what happens in one does NOT impact another. Yes, this means characters need to meet each other every time, unless the players work something out where they know each other.
-If someone is inactive, move around the character to keep things going. If someone is just busy and takes a few days, DON'T.
-Indicate when in the canon 'verse something takes place, so that there is no confusion about what the characters might know.
-In the Pan-Fandom RP, you CAN make threads that take place in other 'verses. You can even make it exclusive to characters in that 'verse if you'd like.
-You start the thread, you own it. Your limitations. Your rules. So long as they don't violate any of THESE rules.
-If you're going to be inactive for awhile, pull your character out of their threads, retire the character, and/or put the character on loan to another player.
-Do not harass people about thread activity. People have lives outside of RP. Sometimes they aren't coming here to RP, but to participate in other discussion.
-Character claims are on a per-thread basis. Unless they're OCs. No using someone's OC in a thread they aren't active in without their permission.
-Feel free to RP from your main account (just make it very clear what character in each individual post!) or to make character accounts of your own!
-If you make a character account, the name has to be either the character name or some kind of direct reference to the character. You can be as ridiculous as having a Kaname account with the name 'Toilet Paper' because of her character name in an MMO, just make sure there's some kind of relation/reference!
-FMP Only RP is for canon characters only. No OCs or altered existing characters!
-And most of all... Have fun!
