Herein lay the laws of Destoria.
Mature Content - Please remember that children are allowed on Proboards websites. Everything must remain PG-13 and we all must follow the ToS of Proboards - violence is permitted, but please refrain from excessive violence and heavily sexualized themes. Attempting to get around this through PM may result in a ban. For those that want to know, here is Proboard's Privacy Policy.
One Account Per Character - Since multiple characters on a single account can be rather confusing at times, you are encouraged to create a new account when you create a new character.
Plagiarism - It's just wrong. Don't do it. Period. Member or not. Copying and taking someone else's ideas as your own is plagiarism and not only is it not nice, it's illegal. Please don't copy other people. If I find that anyone has plagiarized this site or anything on it, I will track them down through the Internet and take back the work and/or humiliate them if I can. A lot of people work hard on their posts and characters. Be respectful or else.
Crediting Art - Please try to credit any artwork that you use if it is not your own. If you are unable to find the original artist, you can ask a mod for help. If that does not work, please name or link the source of the image. Thank you!
Mini Modding - Admins and mods are here to enforce the rules. Please do not attempt to take matters into your own hands if something goes wrong. If you catch someone breaking or trying to break the rules, report it to an admin or mod via PM.
Over Powered Characters - Also called OP characters. These are characters with abilities that defy explanation. The only members allowed to have OP characters and abilities are admins and mods, who will recieve their own set of rules and limitations elsewhere. Admins and mods are allowed to meddle within the posts of regular members, but may not directly affect or control the participants. Watch out for sudden weather changes!
Liquid Time - We do allow liquid time in Destoria. What this means is that your character can be in multiple different threads with different times at once.
God Modding - Also called godmod, godmodding. This is when players create a character that is immortal (outside of terms of age) all-knowing, all-powerful and with abilities that are god-like in their functionality. Characters such as these are not permitted in Destoria. Below are some examples of god modding.
Buffing/Exaggerating powers: If you have a character that can heal quickly, for example, and that can survive life-threatening wounds, that doesn't mean they'll live if they get their heart ripped out. If your character does this and you use the excuse that "well, they can heal from anything" that is god modding.
OOC Knowledge: When your character is meeting someone for the first time, just because you know everything about them, doesn't mean your character does. What you know is not always what your character is going to know.
Power Playing - This happens when a player attempts to control another character's - that is not their own - actions and speech. This is not allowed. You control your character. No one else's. Power playing also includes attempting to find loopholes to get away with something that normally isn't permitted. Again, please do not do this.
WRONG!
Example of Power-playing:
He reached out and snatched her wrist, dragging her behind him and inside.
RIGHT!
Example of NOT power-playing:
He reached out to snatch her wrist, intent on dragging her behind him and inside.
Rules are subject to change at any time.
