Its a regular RP but in a real-time world where when one thing happens in one forum it can effect the others. Personally I think this is a way more organized RP than lots of them out there but thats just me....You create a character and it can be anything that has to do with the SW universe...it can be a senator, pilot, jedi, sith, etc. Depending on your character you might wanna ask how you can jump into the story... There are some rules too... No posting with another person's character. It is for them to use only. You can use them when they say you can...but if they haven't, don't...they'll answer you themselves.No constant fighting. We want stories behind our RPs...constant fighting can ruin it.No unstopable characters. Make it so your character has weaknesses as well as strengths. Everyone has gotta lose battles sometimes.Be as realistic as you can please.Jokes between characters are ok...but try to keep a serious tone to it too. Don't make it all goofy like. Like don't make fun of the Matrix within your post ("I know Kung Fu") Try and keep all posts clean. Cursing and Swearing are allowed sometimes...but don't overuse it. Sex should be reffered to, but not described. Blood and Guts are gonna happen so thats not too bad. A description of your character is required, you can find out more hereThere is a character limit for people new to the role playing. 3 main (registered and used often) characters is more than enough, and any others will not be allowed until 3 1/2 months have been spent by you role playing at this site.This rule appears to be obvious, but apparently some writers are having a time with this concept. So, I'll make it official: IF YOU DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE WORLD OF STAR WARS, NO ROLE PLAYING IS ALLOWED. It is coming to the attention of this administrator that there are those out there who are ignoring posts made reflecting items, ships, etc. already well-established in the Star Wars Universe. (Gravity well generators, for example.) So please, read up on Star Wars. Ask the admin. BUT NO ROLE PLAY until you have grasped something of the basics. It is too time consuming to have to defend every post made by a writer, as well as to keep on having to post descriptions people who understand SW already should know about.If you make a post, unless asked by an admin to majorly change or delete it, keep it posted as you wrote it. Confusion rises when posts "come and go." You may make minor changes, but otherwise keep as written, especially if it has been replied to. This also helps remind posters to think before they post.
The RP takes place after every film, and somewhat in accordance with the earlier books. But since not everyone has read the books, we try not to refer to them, or anything that one would only know having read a particular book. Your best bet in learning what's going on in the galaxy is by reading the Synopsis.

OK, TO FURTHER CLARIFY: the meaning of "killing a character..." The killing of a character results in that character being kaput, dead, gone, unable to be utilized any longer in any way shape, or form. It is out of play forever. Obviously, we have places in the forums that are a bit of a "slippery slope" when it comes to such things; as long as the character is not "killed" to where it can no longer be used, the purported killing is allowed. I am referring, of course, to happenings in the Darker Realms, where life and death are, well... not what one would think they are.SO, long story short: a character cannot be faced with such circumstances as written by another character that said (first) character cannot reply and thus would be ommitted from RPG for perpetuity. I hope this clarifies things. [ 12-30-2010 12:07 AM: Message edited 1 time, lastly by Graysith ] -------------------- I ride the Stormcloud and the Night!
