This is your first stop entering Ori. Welcome to the lands known fondly as the Lands of Elemental Destiny.
It is written:
The rules of this forum must be obeyed, or one will suffer the consequences akin to being
a) warned so that everyone can see
b) banned for some number of days, or
c) banned completely and tossed out into the cold, lonely world.
Joining:
After creating an account and activating it using an email address, you are invited to go into the Character board. There is a topic there that has the form to fill out when creating your profile. Complete it as well as you can. Once that is done a staffy will accept it based on whether you followed the form and rules. If there is a problem, a staffy will reply to your topic or PM you. Please do not be offended if a staffy asks you to change or elaborate on something; it's for the good of us all. Also, please put somewhere in your post how you'd like to be addressed if it's your first charrie. No obnoxious usernames with a lot of colons or dash marks. Just a simple name please.
OOC:[/u]
'Ooc' stands for out of character. Any post you make where you are not talking as your character is 'ooc'. All I ask is that you are respectful and polite. Life is not meant to be spent insulting people on the internet. Swear words are allowed as long as they are disguised with an asterisk(*) or a period. Absolutely no sex or religious talk. I don't want Ori to be deleted by Proboards admin.
IC:[/u]
'Ic' means in character. All the normal rules apply, including no powerplaying, which is when you control the actions or thoughts of someone else's charie. No godmoding, which is a charrie that cannot be defeated. No one is infallable. Charries are allowed to be in multiple threads at once as long as you can keep everything in order. Just because you as a human found out something doesn't mean your charrie did. There is also a minimum of 5 lines in your post, to keep threads moving. If you are discovered with one-liners then you will be warned and finally banned, because you should have read the Stone Tablet.
Making a Charrie:[/u]
There is a form in the character board that you must use, though you may modify it in any way as long as each criteria is addressed. Concerning Bending: there should not be an influx of Benders, so as a Novice you are only allowed one bender character. As you gain a rank, your limit of benders will grow. See other topics for more specifics.
Battling:[/u]
Since battles are hard to do in RPing, there are special rules just for that in the battle palace. See them for official information.
Families:[/u]
Though this will be hard, we can do it because here in Ori we are great. See the next topic for more information.
Re'a reserves the right to change this as she sees fit.[/blockquote]
