1. You MUST
post your profile on the Profiles
board (and I, Wolverine, MUST approve it)
before you can roleplay. The profile must be in the
format provided here,
or it will most likely NOT be accepted.
You should first join the site and have your screen
name be the name of your character. Make a thread
on the Profiles
board with your profile on it. Wait for me to approve
it. I will post on your thread. Also, if your profile
isn't approved the first time, don't automatically give
up on joining the site. Sometimes I will decline a
profile not because it was a bad profile but because it
didn't match up with our version of X-men. Listen to
whatever comments I've given and try again. Make sure you
make a new thread for your next attempt so that I can see
it more easily. You can post on the Out of Character
boards even if you haven't been approved for roleplaying
and get tips for roleplaying. You MUST post a profile
before roleplaying even if I know you and I know your
roleplaying is good. This is just so that I know what
your interpretation your character is and also to make it
fair for everyone who wishes to join. Once I've accepted
I will put your written profile as your website in your
profile look-up unless you already have a website there.
You can change it if you want. Remember to make your
display name your character's name or nickname. Make sure
that if you have a canon character that you write your
own profile and do not copy and paste your entire profile
or large portions of it from another site. You can
summarize information, but please write your own profile.

2. MADE-UPS
ARE FINE.
You can make up X-men characters and use them on the
site. Just don't use characters from other comics like
the Fantastic Four, Spiderman, Daredevil, etc.

3. Be active,
especially if you're a canon character (like Nightcrawler
or Iceman).
If you're not sure if you can be active, don't take an
important canon character who was mentioned in the
movies. You can, however, take a canon character who
wasn't mentioned in the movies even if you're not sure
you can be active. If you're not going to be able to post
for at least a week, make a thread on the Site
Related board telling me so that I don't delete you.
Important characters mentioned in the movies (like Pyro
or Magneto) must post at least once a week (preferably
more than that). I won't delete you if you didn't post
for a week, but if you continually post very sparingly
without any explanation, I'll have to send a warning and
then eventually delete you. All other characters must
post at least once a month or will be automatically
deleted (with warning). If you know you can't be active,
just tell me so, and I will delete your account.

4. Be
true to your character and his/her limitations.
Even Magneto and Wolverine have their flaws and
weaknesses. Don't make your character know everything
about everything (like knowing everything about
Wolverine's past) or be way too powerful (for example,
able to resist Magneto's powers). If you're character is
doing something they shouldn't be doing, I'll either send
you a message or comment about it in a post. It's not a
warning, just a friendly reminder. Also, try to be true
to your character's personality as shown in the movies
and comics. Don't make Sabretooth suddenly want to be
friends with Wolverine. Don't make Magneto fall in love
with Rogue. I know that no one's perfect and that you
have your own interpretation, but just try to do your
best. That's all I can ask.

5. This site
is rated PG-13 for sexual themes, violence, and some
adult language.
That's PG-13, not X-rated. You can use bad words, but
don't use them in every single post. I am aware that
X-men are adults, and they do have sex, but do NOT engage
in explicit sex scenes. You can mention that so-and-so
slept with your character, but you CANNOT have a thread
with explicit chat. Violence is inevitable when it comes
to X-men. However, don't have violence for violence's
sake; there should be a reason for it to be happening.

6. You may
have RP many characters as you want, but one character
per account. And you must have your profile approved for
every character.
That's pretty much self-explanatory.

7. DO NOT
cheat the Karma/Cash system in any way. Otherwise, you
will probably get deleted and possibly banned.
No trading Karma. You can give some one Karma because
they gave you Karma, but it can't be a long cycle which
gets both of you 10 Karma points a day. In addition, you
CANNOT give your other accounts Karma for any reason. I
can see all Karma exchanges and IP addresses. Don't give
tons of Karma to the same person. Try to give Karma to
different people. Also, don't take away tons of Karma
from the same person. One or two is OK, but -10 Karma
points from the same person is just plain mean. In
addition, no spamming. That means no making tons of
short, pointless posts just to get more cash.

8. Treat
others with respect, and do not post offensive messages.
I know disagreements come up sometimes, but try to be
reasonable and talk to the other person. If something
happens, tell me (Wolverine), and I'll try to help you
through it. Do not post messages that are intolerant of
race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, etc.
That could get you banned and/or deleted.
Well, that's about it. I may update the
rules later.
- Wolverine
