Misspellings, Improper Grammar, Etc. is ok, as long as it makes sense.
2.
English Only:
If your character must speak another language, once in awhile, not always, then you must translate what your character says or thinks in parenthesis "()" after whatever is said.
3.
No Spamming!:
Post as many roleplay threads as you like, but not the same message over and over again, ESPECIALLY if it is in the wrong section.
4.
No Slandering, Flaming, Or Rudeness!
ESPECIALLY not against staff (Staff=Mercia Tradger, Katherine Robertson, and Kurai-Tsuki Tradger are staff.)
5.
No Violent Threats!
Unless in character, and if the person whom you are fighting in character wishes not to fight, you must desist (let it go).
6.
POST THREADS IN THE SECTION THEY BELONG!
If you don't know where to post something, ask a staff member. ((I realized I didn't specify this and wanted to make sure it was specified...Advertisements of ANY kind belong in the Advertisement Board...also, anything against proboard rules, or my rules posted is not allowed PERIOD.))
7.
No Sexual Content!
Though I personally do not have a problem with sexual content, it is a private matter, so let's keep it private. Kissing/making out/dating is acceptable in roleplay though.
8.
God Modding is not allowed!
Your character can be immortal, and not be able to actually die, but you must be able to be slowed down. Also, you can not just defeat someone else's character, unless they accept defeat.
9.
One character per account!
More than one account is aloud, but only one character can be used in each account, it makes things less confusing.
10.
Fill out an Application FIRST!
Let us get to know your character, and what exactly they are. Also, change your display name to your character's name.
11.
CHARACTER CELEB/PICTURE IS NOT REQUIRED
However, if you do want to use one for your signature or icon, please claim it in the claim forum, and do not use a celeb/picture that has already been claimed.
12.
DRAMA is not aloud!
Any problems with people, out of character, can be handled in private. NOT in the forum.
13.
RULES ARE NEGOTIABLE
meaning that if you have a problem with a rule, message me, or post a reply to the rules list. If you were accused of breaking a rule, but wish to explain yourself, message me directly.
14.
RELIGION DOES NOT EXIST IN BLR!
Since everyone has a different religion in their real lives, and I don't want a sort of holy war going on, plus I don't want anyone to be offended religiously, including myself, there isn't a religion in existence for BLR. As such, if your character is a god, he/she can not be creator of people or animals, though he/she can heal or protect them, and can create nature or objects etc.
Finally...
3 Strikes and you're out!
You will receive 3 warnings for each time you break a rule, the 4th time you will be banned. Unless you break rule number 4 or 5, you will be banned automatically...possibly with warning if I see fit.
P.S. Rules are made to keep the peace, So we can all just roleplay and have fun. Follow the rules, and everything will be alright! So thanks for joining, and let's all just get along and have some fun!

adminnote:Admin Note: Also as a side note, I understand that sometimes people need a "supporting character" of sorts to support whatever roleplay is going on. Roleplaying more than one character in your roleplay is against the rules, and it flows better when it is a new post distinguised by the name...I also understand how troublesome it is to make a whole new account especially when it's a one time use character, so, just go as a guest, put the name as the character name (ex. Bartender/thug/robber/demon/etc.). It helps the roleplay flow better that way.
This has come to my attention and I don't know why it didn't come to me before, but here is one more new rule/guideline...
15. This is mostly for Shapeshifters and Demons, as they can change their shape to another being, creature, or object...I'm allowing people to use celebrities unclaimed for when they shapeshift, however, if the celebrity they use is claimed, then the shapeshifter/demon character is masquerading as the other character who has claimed the celeb. For example if my character is a demon, and I transform them into Katherine's character's celeb, then my character is pretending to be their character. That is the ONLY time I will allow people to masquerade as someone else's celeb claim. All unclaimed celebs are open.
16. Blood Memories is allowed. (For those of you who do not know what that means, it means that for vampires and werewolves, you can drink the blood of another roleplayer and each character sees the other roleplayer's character's memories. That only works if both are either a werewolf or a vampire, but if the other character is not a werewolf or vampire they do not see the character who is a werewolf/vampire's memories...but the werewolf/vampire sees theirs.) However, it has to be of consent to both parties.
