You will have probably seen these rules before, and we are not asking that you go above and beyond the norm. We ask that you do follow these rules, but note that they are not solid stone. Admins can bend, but if there are reports of problems we will change the rules accordingly.
Site Content
Red Snow has mature content. So first of all we suggest that if you are uncomfortable with violence, the existence and use of drugs, and language you might want to apply here. We will not ask for your age, but we are going to trust your judgment when you apply. Please be mature about these factors.
Red Snow revolves around the drug scene, so expect that to be highly mentioned. This site will also be open for relationships and sexual content. If your character are going to do the deed, put it in private message form, just in case there are children, and sometimes other members just don't want to see those posts.
Cursing is allowed, and you can drop just about anything in the book. Yet, we don't also want to see tons of F-bombs going of in one single sentence. So now lets get started, shall we?
Out of Character
- Be polite, especially to the Admins
- Don't cause trouble on the boards
- Limit cursing please.
- Use proper boards (that's what they are there for)
- Have issues? Find an Admin, or ask fellow members
- Inactive for more than a week - Tell us before hand! You may be removed if you fail to do this.
In Character
- No powerplaying, no godmoding, be active, use good grammar and such. No chat speak. As for a word count, so far there isn't one set, but a couple paragraphs would be grand. A paragraph is 5 sentences or more.
- If you want to have multiple threads go for it. Just keep track of them. If you become swamped, message the other player/players, don't just leave them hanging.
- We would also like to point out that first person, chat speak, and crazy amounts of bad grammar are not only frowned upon, but are not allowed. Microsoft Word is useful, or you can ask admins or fellow members for help.
- We encourage that you not be afraid of violence, blood, and gore. You can fight with other members IC for just about any good reason. Though some reasons like, "he looked at me funny", can happen, there should be some good backstory and reasoning behind it. We just ask that you play fair. More will be explained in the fighting section.
Fighting[/u][/size]
Do not powerplay, and do not godmode - that is a given. Major fights will be viewed by admins or mods to make sure that its fair.
Person (A) cannot tell person (B) that they took damage, and visa versa. Still you should take blows. Your character cannot be killed without your permission, but if you are really serious there will be blood. So that means you can't doge everything. If you do manage to squeeze out of that the Admins will reap revenge on your fuzzy/non fuzzy butt.
We are not going to watch "the lesser" battles. Lesser battles are those that are mainly created to pass the time, to continue a minor plot, or when your characters had too much to drink and that one guy looked at you funny. So have fun, but be serious. People do get hurt!
Magic and Weapons- Magic is a fickle thing, and it's a pain in the ass to judge. So generally...Unless you are some sort of witch (and we will watch your magic use like crazy) there shall be no magic.
Besides your natural weapons (nails, fangs blah blah) you can have guns. You don't need to go into specifics on the kind of bullets or type of gun. But not all shots are going to hit, I don't care if you are super Vamp...It just isn't fair to your target. Though NPCs are certainly fair shooting practice.
We suggest that you do not use guns in major battles. Besides, it attracts pesky mortals to the scene. Knives and the sort are certainly allowed.
Relationships and Sex
Yes you can be graphic IN YOUR PERSONAL MESSAGES. Whatever. In general this site is PG-13 and maybe a bit heavier, but if a Mod sees a post that is getting too hot and heavy we will ask you to take it private or lock the topic, possibly delete messages as well.
At Red Snow we are totally fine with gay or bisexual characters. But the rated "R" content goes the same. Please keep it private.
Just be warned that if you are a female wolf or human, and don't use protection (and even if you do) you can reproduce. So if your characters are going to experience sexual relations, you should inform a mod or an admin and we can figure things out from there.
Vampires cannot have babies...they are technically dead...
Usually pregnancy lasts a couple of weeks in real time. If you would like stats on your possible child/children please message an admin, and stats will be given out. Please inform on who the father is (unless you are drugged and don't know), and your own traits.
Note: Just to spice things up, there may be stillborns, deformed, and span that have mental defects. Don't get upset about it...You can always not keep the kid(s). Also if either parent use drugs, this will affect the child or children.
Drugs and Red Snow
Drugs are almost complete commonplace. Red Snow is the most killed over though. While drugs on their own are dangerous and expensive Red Snow tops the charts. If you get your hands on it, don't let go, and don't even tell your best friend...Death isn't the worst they'll do to you to get it.
We allow plenty of drug like content. Snort it up, stick it in, we don't care. We love our dealers, and their nasty little coke games. It's a great way to get money, and a bit of blood on the side. While Werewolves are 'clean', Vamps love the stuff. Why? Cause it still works on them, even in death.
They don't like natural drugs though, they are not effective on them. It's too weak for their bodies. So no more Mary Jane, and say hello to synthetics. The only exception is Red Snow. It can be directly applied to the body, or it can be taken in just about any other way. The effect is instant and simply amazing...Words cannot describe the trip.
Applying
• Complete the application. Don't just leave part of it filled out[/size]
• Be detailed, but don't write a novel. It takes too long to read, and you can always edit your information later
• Please do not use names of characters from movies or books. We would like to have creative characters, not cookie cutter members. This also goes for descriptions as well.
• This means you are not related to Dracula or Lucian...Sorry folks.
• As a side note: NO TWILIGHT. I don't want to see their names, and possibly not even the actor pictures. I'm sure this will be a bummer to some people, but Twilight has exploded and even though I have all the books, it's wearing thin.
• If you would like a picture or graphic in your application, that is fine. Please make sure that the picture is not SUPER DUPER large. Also, no anime stuff.
