Rules

We all wanted a lawless hellscape, but sadly that would not be sustainable.

Rules are subject to change as necessity deems fit. All rules are final and non negotiable.

General Rules

Basic laws of conduct throughout the community.

1. This is a 21+ group. There is an expectation and participating parties are all adults and will be cofmortable with portneital exposure to adult material and subjects. Overall, we will not be policing contnet beyond asking folks to be respectful and respect the following rules. We will make additions to these rules as scenarios calling for it are encountered.
2. Do not steal. Be it art, banners, graphics, someone else’s characters. Do not.
3. Be courteous and mature. This means no bullying, no threatening, no flaming, don’t go out of your way to start fights or be disrespectful of other people. Don’t gripe and complain when you don’t win a pet, don’t harass other people. Be a decent human being, okay. Again, to reiterate:
   • DO NOT bully, threaten, or harass other members.
   • DO NOT guilt trip, whine, and complain when you don’t win. There is a difference between constructive feedback and being a pissbaby.
   • DO NOT be a big old negative negative nancy. You can talk about your bad day or complain about things within reason, but don’t try to bring everyone else down.
   • DO NOT harass other members for plots, roleplay, or shipping. If they say no, don’t make them uncomfortable and push the issue. On the other end, if you don’t communicate at someone to back off, do not act like the other person should have figured it out.
   • DO NOT harass the staff on babies, growths, certs, or events. You can ask, but not harass. Again, a difference between asking questions and talking smack at staff to get a rise because they haven’t done what you wanted yet.
   • DO NOT backtalk the staff when it comes to decisions. We're happy to let you make your case and discuss issues or grievances, but do not act like a prick about it.
   • Overly abusive language, excessively vulgar, insulting, explicit, or hateful content is not allowed.
4. Take the drama somewhere else. Sometimes conflicts happen and that’s fair. However, we expect people to be mature about their issues. It’s incredibly uncomfortable for everyone involved to make a public spectacle over personal conflicts. Take that to DMs. Staff can moderate issues and we’ll do our best to make this a comfortable environment for everyone, but our reach only goes as far as issues regarding the group itself. We cannot and will not police issues outside of the group’s boundaries or jurisdiction. We will however step in and start smacking some wrists if you try to force your drama into the community.
5. Do not beg for characters. We’ve given people plenty of chances to get invovled and ways to earn our original characters through participation.
6. No spamming, advertising, or purposely screwing up the discord channels. Don’t post junk messages in channels or excesive "come in here" just to shill your own stuff. Feel free to share cool stuff or advertise your own work to network, when appropriate. Reuqests to update or add stuff to the website is fine, just be sure to ping staff.

RP and Character Rules

Rules and guidelines explicitly regarding role-play, the rp environment, and handling characters.

1. This is a 21+ group, which means adult content and subjects are on the table. We ask that RP be kept at at a maximum of M (for mature) rating. This needs explained further, I know!
2. This is a role-play community/game by nature. You will not lose your characters by not actively participating, so no worries if you need to take a break or life gets in the way. Avtive participation provides more perks and opportunity to shape the setting.
3. You may only officially roleplay with characters that have been roleplay approved! This means just because you have character, doesn’t mean you can jump right in. You can enjoy some short hand shenanigans or OOC interaction, but before you can really sink your teeth into roleplay, you need to get your character application approved! For more information on applications, href="">follow the link here!
4. You are responsible for logging your roleplays. As said, there are perks to RP, but you’ll need to back up the claims that you’ve done the RP to earn those perks. It’s your job, however, to keep track of that stuff, not ours. If you can’t provide the records, we won’t provide the perks. RPs should be logged in the discord in some way and accessible by staff if you want them to count for anything.
5. Do not roleplay characters that are not yours. Staff run NPCs and characters owned by other members are off the table. The exceptions to this are Aerith Htwooh and our cast of claimable NPCs. There are specific rules for eahc of these exceptions, which can be found at the linked pages.
6. Be respectful of the people with whom you roleplay. We’re not saying wait on them hand and foot, but we mean don’t be a prick to them and expect them to keep wanting to work with you. Respect the characters and respect the space. Don’t go around talking smack about people’s characters, don’t be rude and insulting about roleplay abilities or scenarios, that kind of thing. We also ask that folks do their best to communicate and be transparent, out of respect and courtesy to your fellow members. And example would be if you had IC plans with another palyer that are no longer possible for xyz reason, give them a heads up maybe.
7. No god modding. This means no magically piloting other people’s characters to your whimsy, no arbitrary unexplained deus ex machina type abilities or powers, no killing someone else's character (without express permission and discussion with the owner of said character). Powers do exist in this game and must be earned! You don’t get to just flounce in here and wave a magic wand, magically gaining diamond coated skin and have tears that grant miracles.
8. In-character interactions should not cause out-of-character repercussions. Understand that drama and events within RP reflect the characters of the RP, but not the people themselves. Actions taken within RP should not affect relationships with other players.
9. Do not harass or trap other people into plots. You characters are your characters and you have the final say in their actions. You do not have that final say in the actions of characters belonging to other player’s and expect people to operate with that understanding. If someone says no or plans change, don’t try to guilt trip or force someone into making the choices you want for their character. Similarly, you gotta say no if you want someone to back off.
10. Do not take actions against other characters with detrimental consequences without full disclosure and consent beforehand. What am I saying? Do not main, kill, or otherwise mortally injure another character without them knowing full well what is happening and agreeing to it. Yes, this breaks the immersion of the rp a bit, but the thing is, we can't go around murdering other people's characters all willy nilly.
11. Choices and consequences play an important role in this game. Strive to understand the repercussions to your actions and do not be surprised when they occur. We've tried to convey social climate to the group and can further explain anything as needed. But understand that by engaging in rp here at Dangerprone, you may be thrown curve balls you didn't fully expect. A low blood acting belligerent to a high blood can get you in trouble, acting out in a public space can gain you notoriety, the like. Be aware that the direct actions you take and the kind of character you play will shape the world appropriately. If you ever find your character in a situation you are not okay with, reach out to staff and we'll help you find a solution.
