Basic Roleplaying Rules
1. You only fully control your own characters. Do not say what another character does.
2. Keep in mind both your characters' strengths and weaknesses. Try to balance these, so they have a reasonable set of abilities. Also keep in mind your vullius's age.
3. Fill out a character sheet for every character you plan to use. If they are a subsidiary character (say, your human character's sister) that only you will play, you can add relavant information as later posts off the main character's sheet.
4. If you're currently playing an NPC that has been previously used, keep the same personality, etc. that was created by the first person.
5. To facilitate this, if you plan to use an NPC, please fill out an NPC character form and post it with the title "NPC - (character name)"
6. Keep to the current setting of the roleplay. Do not spontaneously change setting without the other RP'rs consent.
7. Just to keep things constant... please use <brackets and italics> for Vulli telepathy. If you plan to use something else, inform anyone you're roleplaying with so they know.
8. Maintain the same tense throughout a given roleplay. (See Basic Roleplaying Vocab #7 for info on tenses.)
9. Indicate when you are speaking out of character (OoC) by using double parenthesis: ((OoC should look like this.))
10. You may only RP Hollows you actually own. You may always RP yourself, as a human.

Basic Roleplaying Vocabulary - for those who are new to the concept
1. Roleplaying, RPing - group storytelling based on each member controlling a character or set of characters.
2. Godmodding - controlling other characters, generally. Specifically, acting as though the RPer is "god", i.e., able to control anything. Don't do this.
3. Powerplaying - making and using an overly powerful character. Again, don't do this. If you think you might be, contact a crew member for advice.
4. NPC, Non-Player Character - a character not controlled by any specific player, but instead shared and available for anyone who currently needs the character.
5. OoC, Out of Character - Comments by the roleplayer that are not part of the RP/story. Often discussion between players.
6. IC, In Character - Statements made that are part of the story, that tell what the characters do/think/say/etc.
7. Tense - Roleplay can be done in either past tense or present tense.
-- Past tense examples: "Suzy went to the store." "John ran." "I stood up."
-- Present tense examples: "Suzy goes to the store." "John runs." "I stand up."
