Out of Character FAQ's! What are the rules for character models? There are no claims on character models, which means that more than one person may share the same model. If you are not happy with this, than you may change your model. When looking for a model keep in mind that your model must be age appropriate, meaning that you may not use someone who looks 14 for a 11 year old character. Am I allowed to have more than one character? When you start out at Rockshore Heights you are only permitted one character. This encourages our members to dedicate themselves to their character's development process. However, if you look at the 'How to Apply for a Second Character' thread in this forum you will learn more about second characters. Do I have to start as a first year? Yes, as pointed out in the rules, we require the characters to start out as a first year. It encourages you to take the time to explore your character's youth. Am I able to change my username? No, so please take care and make sure you are sure about the name you want for your character and read the rules to apply before you register. How long does it take for my application to be approved? We try our best to get your application approved as soon as possible, however we are also human, and we ask for your patience. If your character application has not been approved after three days, feel free to PM one of us and we will get to it as ASAP. What year is this taking place? Present time. Am I allowed to post in another language? The dialogue in the post may be posted in another language however at the bottom of your post you must provide a translation. The fodder (non-spoken writing; including character's thoughts) must be written in English. [for ex.: Marie replied, "Oui, je peux parler français." She wanted to show off her language skills to her fellow student. **translation: Yes, I can speak French.] Can I use chat speak or internet slang [u for you, wat for what] No, absolutely not. We encourage proper English, so do your best to use proper English in your posts. If English is not your first language and you feel as if this will be a problem for you, PM an admin to let us know and we will do our best to work things out with you ! Do you have a minimum sentence/word count for posts? We encourage our members to provide at least two paragraphs for your posts so that the interaction runs smoothly and that other characters have something to play off of. What point of view should I be posting in? Third person. "ex. He ate the apple, instead of I ate the apple. What are the signature size limits? Signature are to be no more 550wX250h. This includes any text you may have along with your pictures. What is the posting etiquette at Rockshore Heights? We follow an order when posting. This means that if Johnny, Rachelle and Sally are in a thread together and Johnny posts, and then Rachelle posts, Johnny cannot post again until Sally has posted. This keeps the threads from being spammed as well as respecting other players and taking turns. Are pictures able to be included in my posts? Pictures, smilies etc are not allowed in any IC posts. However, you may link to their clothes by using polyvore. -- > ex. Ally was wearing her uniform. you do this by putting [url=LINK HERE]word[/url] What happens if I've never Role-Played before? Does that create a problem? Never!. We are happy that you have made Rockshore Heights your first experience~! Be sure to read the Rules and the FAQ's over more than once that you have a clear understanding and feel free to PM any admin with questions after you have done so. What is the rating of Rockshore Heights? Is foul language and/or sexual content allowed? Our rating is PG-13. Rockshore Heights prides itself on a well classed school, and because each student was spotted to get into the school, the school facuilty expects their students to be well behaved. Mild foul language is permitted [things like hell, damn]. No sexual content may be played out, however you may allude to it. When do threads get locked? Threads are locked when there is a seven day period of no posting. What happens if I'm registering any time that isn't the beginning of a school year? You role-play as if your character has been at Rockshore Heights their entire first year. Edited by Jenna, Aug 8 2010, 08:42 PM.
