Weclome to Even On A Rainy Day, vesion 1.0! We are so happy you have found us and are considering to join our exciting community. Members and staff alike wish that you read the rules before registering and also once again afterwards just as a refresher. This thread will always be here, so be sure to reference it if you are unsure about something.
REGISTERING + APPLYING
Unlike in perhaps invisionfree or jcink, you can register with any username you would like, however, you must change your display name to: FIRST M. LAST. If you fail to do so, we assume that you give permission for staff to change it for you.
You are allowed upto five characters, this goes to staff as well. We don't want character hoarders, whose characters hardly see any roleplay time. With this rule in place, you must consider the different personalities of each character, giving you a chance to really give yourself diversity.
Members are allowed upto two canons, and they must not be related in the plot. This is just so we don't have a few people playing all the canons, and everyone else stuck playing original characters.
We accept both original and canon characters. Be sure to make your reserves before working on your application!
Try and make your characters diverse, it will improve your role-playing experience and give you loads of experience. This means making them from all walks of life, different social statuses and races. Also differentiate your play-by's! Although you may love models, it's good to use an artist or actress for a change!
Mary-Sue's or Gary Stu's will not be accepted. Ever. We loath perfect characters. Sure, it's fine to have one that's perfect on the outside, but are they really some kind of vampire mix? Or do they have an eating disorder? Absolutely no perfect characters on this roleplay.
RATING
The site is rated PG13. You shouldn't be on the site if you're below thirteen anyway. We are assuming that you will all roleplay realistically, so there will be a bit of violence and lust and all that. But please be sure not to go overboard. Nothing TOO grotesque nor TOO kinky. Just keep it well rounded!
Depending on the race of your character, the rate of the pregnancy will really change. With that being said, you can create characters that are already on the verge of giving birth ... but this does not mean to make fifteen nine-month pregnant women! Just be sparing and realistic is all we ask.
Swearing is fine. Just keep it out of the CBOX please!
ROLEPLAYING
Out of Character drama will not be tolerated. Work out issues via personal message and if that doesn't work, go to a staff member for extra help. We will not allow you to publicly flame anyone else on the site. Simply put, save it for the characters!
We want butt-loads of realistic, fast-paced and scandalous drama on this site, among the characters. Since it is a supernatural roleplay, characters will die. But make sure you consult your fellow-members before killing somebody off! Also, once they are done or have changed races, message staff member or post in the canon board (if it is a canon).
Absolutely no god-modding. This means you can NOT control other characters that are not yours, without the permission of the other player. May it be something small like the other character saying hello, or the other character killing yours! We will not have it.
We are a role-play for all levels. That being said, we expect a lot of patience for our more advanced players, and a lot of effort from our beginner players. As the more advanced, we look to you guys as leaders (help keep things rather realistic, and to encouraging others). We also hope that the beginner role-players are open to anything, and are not fixated on a certain vision or plot.
Staff is law. They will always have the final word.
GRAPHICS
We require a 250 x 350 avatar. Yes, that's huge! But we think it looks good, and it matches the skin. However, if you want to use an animated GIF, be sure that the width is 250, because the boards will not re-size the avatar.
We don't like signatures. This just helps us keep things looking neat.
Do not stretch the boards. We know sometimes you can do it by accident, or you're not sure what went wrong with your coding. Consult a staff member in order get that fixed, if you can't yourself.
Avoid hotlinking. Always rehost images on your own image hosting account. Be it tinypic, photobucket or imgur, it does not matter at all!
No nudies! We didn't come here to see pee-pee's or boobs.
CBOX
Do NOT advertise outside of the advertise forum. This means you can not even mention your site in the CBOX. It would be unfair to our guests, members and staff if they came to the site, just to be lured into another on. So please be cautious of that.
The CBOX has smilies you can use, that are animated GIFs. Just click the 'smilies' link and click which on you need.
