These are the rules for the forum and role play. Please read through them all before you join.
1. Be kind to all members of the forum. If we find anyone bullying other members they will be warned only once before being banned from the forum. So, if you wish to stay plan on being nice to everyone.
2. Use proper grammar and spelling at all times. This goes especially for the role play board. No one will get in trouble for typos, but if you type in text talk or something similar you will be asked to stop.
3. Your character may only be in one thread at a time. If your character is leaving a thread please be sure to put [exit character] at the end of your post.
4. If everyone is finished with a thread please remember to put dead at the end of it.
5. Anyone who is going to be gone for an extended period of time is asked to leave a message about it in the 'Hellos and Goodbyes' thread. If you don't you will not be punished, it is just recommended.
6. You may have as many characters as you want, just make sure that you can handle them all.
7. You are only allowed to have up to two mystic characters. This is to make sure that the mystics do not start to outnumber the regular jellicles which would be unrealistic. Kittens are possibly the exception to the rule, but has not been decided as of yet.
8. All characters must be accepted before you can start role playing. Only staff members can accept characters so please be sure to wait for one to accept your character. It shouldn't take too long.
9. If a staff member asks you to change or add something about your character please do so. Arguing with a staff member will not get your character accepted.
10. When role playing please always use third person. (Ex. Bombalurina walked to the gate.)
11. No invincible characters will be allowed. All characters, especially mystics must have a weakness and that weakness must be described in detail in their profile. On this note mystics may only have up to 3 types of powers.
12. Do not role play someone else's character.
13. There is a limit to how many canon characters you may have. Each player can only have 6 canon characters.
14. If a member wants an OC to be related to a canon they must first ask the canon for permission. If a canon wants to be related to another canon it is first come first serve.
15. Members are also allowed to apply for a pollicle, but there is a limit of only one for each member at the moment. No pollicle can be a mystic.
16. You must apply for 2 canon characters before you apply for an OC (original character). If you want to apply for a mystic, you must have three canon characters. If there are canons left over and you only have 2 or 3, the staff will ask you to pick up another canon before we can start a main thread. A main thread is a plot on the board that everyone participates in.
If you are new to the board and there are no canons left, please feel free to apply for your OC's. Mystics could be eliminated for application by the time you join this board. Please ask the staff about this if you want a mystic.

17. If the title of a thread has specific Character names in parentheses then you can not enter the thread without FIRST asking the members the thread was created for. They may have had a plot for their thread to create history, or evolve their charas personalities. Example. Member A and Member B have chara's Jemima and Tugger. Member A creates the thread with their Jemima chara and titles it. In parentheses they put (Tugger). This thread is directed towards Member B. Member C wants to join the thread. They may not just jump into a thread. The should ask permission via comment in the thread. Example : Member C (May I join with ______). Member A and B have a right to say no, this was a private thread because of the parentheses in the title with the specific members chara. If there are no parentheses, that thread is free game. It means it is an OPEN thread. Same as if they put the parentheses in the title with OPEN. If there are further questions, you may contact the admin.

18. KITTENS: Having a kitten between mated pairs is an exciting thing. We want to encourage kittens and the growing of kittens. Here are some rules and guidelines for the kittens.
You must talk to the moderator and get permission for the kitten to be conceived. Once they give the approval, it is up to the members (parents) of the kitten to decide the following.
1) Gender, Name, colors (easy stuff right) 2) Only ONE parent may play the kitten. If it is kittens, agree on who you want to play who. I do not want both parents playing one kitten. If neither parent wants to play the kitten, they must together decide on a personality and write a description of the kitten and personality as if based on a toddler. (I would also like a 'Future self' written in what terms the parents hope the kitten grows to be as an adult) I am not saying the rper has to follow this because as we know not all children turn out as parents hope but it will give the member applying a guideline.
3)The member applying MUST submit an RP sample as if they were a toddler. Be descriptive. If parents are unable to decide on a member, I will make the final decision. If the parents do decide on a member, they must relay their answer to me and I will post it.
Magical Kittens:
We are bound to have mystical kittens. This is ok. However there will be modifications. A kitten may only have 1/3 of the magical parents power. (ie: Demeter has two kits and has the gift of premonition and Seeress. This often happens by touch, or in dreams) Say she gives birth, An option may be only one kitten has any gifts at all, or they each have a gift but are limited in how it works. Maybe only one kit can have 'sight' while sleeping. A weakness to this would be, he could be terrified to sleep, or unable to be awake as much. The other might be to afraid to touch anyone because everytime he does he sees a memory or something. These are just different ideas. What you decide with the other member (parent) MUST be approved by me first. AND YES, they must still have weaknesses. And as far as who plays them, the same rules for a non magical kitten apply for a magical one.
