Rules Concerning This Site and its Content:
The staff will work hard to make this RPG run smoothly and provide a fun haven for all wish to participate, but we do not "owe" you anything. We're doing this out of our own time. All suggestions will be taken into consideration and implemented if deemed necessary, but any unreasonable demands will be ignored.
The staff has the final say on all decisions concerning the RPG. Members will be allowed to give their input and they will taken into consideration.
Members are prohibited from posting links to sites containing inappropriate content such as porn, cracks or other illegal content. Spamming is also not allowed (irrelevant or redundant posting), save for in SPAM topics/forums, as well as inappropriate advertising. Links will be removed upon discovery and members will be issued a warning. Repeated offense will warrant a permanent ban.
You are responsible for anything that you place on this site (Images, graphics etc). Pornography and other inappropriate pictures and graphics are not allowed!
Sexual activity IS allowed. However we will be very strict on those who do not post a separate closed thread for this activity and place the proper [RATED: MA] in the title. Again, it must be shown in the Title. Keep in mind, this is a comic book site.
Concerning Members
What you choose to reveal on this site is your own responsibility. It is in your best interest to refrain from divulging personal details and information. Please do not give anyone your password as this gives the person to edit or delete any of your posts.
You are responsible for what you post in this RPG. If your work is stolen and used on another site, we will assist you, but we are not responsible for the damages incurred and won't be held accountable.
Most importantly, members are required to show each other respect. You may not harass or threaten other members. Disrespectful behavior, such as derogatory comments containing racism, homophobia, or foul language will not allowed. Please be respectful to all members, regardless of age or experience.
Duties of an Administrator and Moderators
Just as there as responsibilities for the members to uphold, there are for the administrator and moderating team.
Enforcing the rules.
Maintaining the board and site.
Editing or deleting posts when necessary: situations include when a member has requested me to, or when I see a violation of the rules. Any edits will be marked.
Keeping the board running smoothly, although I am not responsible for the RPG's downtime. If I know when the site will be down, I will try to let you know. This site is hosted on an external server which is subject to infrequent downtimes.
Registration
You must read the rules and all information pages on DC Heroes 2027 prior to filling an Character Bio Form.
This RPG is designed for mature audiences. Please do not join if you are offended by violence, sex, strong language, or mature subjects. There is no technical age limit -- if you think you can handle it, by all means. But I won't be held accountable for you if you find out you don't like the subject matter.
Gameplay
Posting should be done as often as time and creativity allow. If you are to go on vacation or a leave of absences, please let the people you RP with know.
No God-Modding. Without prior approval, you may not decide you hit, mind read/controlled, grabbed, or any other thing to another character. You may not post their reactions, actions, or speech. You may only control your own characters.
Please speak in the 3rd person only (when posting in stories that is).
No Power Playing. Power Playing is when you make your character practically invincible and all-powerful, which is unfair for other players, and is, well, boring.
Characters die, like all things. Your character is no different, upon agreeing to enter into combat with another user you risk having your character killed. If agreed upon, fight it out. But once you agree to a fight you are at the mercy of the other player and your own Roleplaying ability should you loose.
Cursing is allowed. In character only. And try not to make it excesive.
As we cannot hear your voice, make your intentions clear.
Your profile must be accepted before you start roleplaying. Any requests made by an admin to your bio should be followed, if not then your bio will not be accepted. It really is that simple.
Storys can be solo or joined by other members. Please indicate accordingly in the first post.
You are allowed to join in more than one story thread, as long as the do not conflict or alter anything in any other story threads you are apart of.
If you have no desire to complete a solo thread or no one has joined your thread for over a month, let a moderator know so they can delete it. Any thread without promising replies will ultimately be deleted or closed.
Label all out of character comments in story threads will "OOC."
ALL CAPS IS SHOUTING. Don't shout. I have sensitive hearing, haha.
If you are responding in a long thread, specify to whom you are speaking when necessary.
As they reflect upon you, please be mindful of your spelling, punctuation and grammar before posting.
Do not spam the board. Please make your posts at least a few sentences long and delete repeated posts.
Secret Identities are termed such for a reason. At no time, without the consent of the controlling member, may you determine another person's secret identity. This represents a huge part of comic book writing, and can easily ruin future plans some one might have for that character.
Character Creation
You are allowed to have more than one character, but only one account. Extra characters may be filed for as NPC's, and still require approval, before they may be brought into play.
You must check with the staff, before using pre-made characters from external sources, i.e characters from books, video or games. This is a DC Comics site, please try not to bring in other Comic Universe crossovers.
You must post a fresh Bio form for each new character you make after joining.
Don't use an NPC someone else created without their permission first, regardless of what it says for usage.
It's comics, so there are tons of super powerful people out there. That said, don't expect the staff to approve you using one, untried. Too easy to mess up good story work.
Registering
Please try to have your registered name have something to do with your character. It saves a bunch of confusion.
This RPG is designed for mature audiences. Please do not join if you are offended by violence, sex, strong language, or mature subjects. There is no technical age limit -- if you think you can handle it, by all means. But I won't be held accountable for you if you find out you don't like the subject matter.
