[Owl Always Love You]

Character Creation 

• Creating an account can have any name, as afterwards you will be using the character name for the display name.
  
• After your account has been created, please use your character's name. EX: John Barrowman
  
• When making a character, make sure to check that your character does not share the same last name as another character unless they are family.
  
• Council members are a first come first serve basis, there are no reservations for the characters unless the admin has given an okay.
  
• No posting anything until your application has been accepted.
  
• This site does not have a limit on how many characters one can have. All that we ask is that you keep them active.
  
• We are a one account per character site.
  

Chatterbox 

• First and foremost, i will not tolerate any spamming of the c-box. it is there simply for communication purposes. i can and will take it off if need be, but i hope it never comes to that.
• Be nice to other members. i know that some of your charries might be like sworn enemies or something, but that doesn't mean you are. so be mature and keep the rp fights to the threads.
  
• Absolutely no advertising inside the cbox. The advertising board is the perfect place to put your advertisement.
  
• Guests, you are more than welcome to use our c-box. but do not spam it, don't advertise in it and please, don't bash the site or our members. we take pride in being part of this site and we hope you will too.
• If there is anything wrong in the cbox, please keep it to a minimum. Meaning there should be no bullying, degrading of someone or racial comments allowed in the chatbox. Anything would be considered negative, is not allowed in the chatbox.
  
• The ic cbox, should be kept at a pg-13 rating. if you want to go beyond that, move to IM's or email, please.
  

Roleplaying

• This is a pretty obvious thing, but i've seen some pretty strange stuff. when roleplaying, only post in third person limited to your character. what does this mean? it means you should type this... "shawn ran across the building, trying her best to get away from the man chasing her." not this... "i ran across the building, trying my hardest to outrun the man behind me." But if you feel comfortable writing in first person, please do whatever is comfortable. But second person is not allowed, and near impossible.
  
• Absolutely no god modding. don't know what that is? When someone believes that they are able to get out of a situation scotch free without a scratch or can do what they wish. This is called a god complex and it is not allowed here. i will not tolerate it. if i do happen to see it anywhere your account will be suspended for three days. if it continues, i will not hesitate to IP ban your account.
  
• this site does has a word count of at least 300-400 word count. This is the required minimum, not the maximum.
  

Graphics

• first off, do not steal any graphics from any artist. Please give credit where it is due.
  
• There are two different avatar sizes. The default goes with the avatar function and the max size for that is 120x120. The hover avatar image is 200x300. This is located in the personal tab of the profile and is under the Hover Image field. if you need an avatar just ask, I, Owl Always Love You will be more than happy to give you the required size if you cannot do it yourself.
  
• any and all signatures can be no bigger than 500x300. thus meaning, the width of your signature can not exceed 500 pixels. and the height of your signature may not exceed 300 pixels. anywhere within that range however is perfectly fine.
  
• if you are not capable of making graphics, feel free to head over to CAUTION OF THE WIND and request some. they make amazing graphics over there. <3. Or you can request one here in the Graphics and Coding board. Someone may grant you the wish of making something for you if you ask nicely.
