And though they insist of her more and more, she refuses to tell them what It is. So they give up, and they start for the ruins, to find out what could be either their greatest accomplishment, or their downfall.

•o1. //Godmoding// This is a big no-no. I wont even allow characters that have too many strengths and two few weaknesses. If i find, or am reported to with proof, that you have been godmoding i will give you a warning. If you do it again your out of this RP and on my ignored list so you cant join again.
•o2. //Literacy// Now I'm not expecting ten paragraphs per post, but i would like you to be able to post at least TWO paragraph. And if you do more than three one-liners in a row i will give you a warning. If your having a bout of writers block, don't RP at the moment. Also, I'm requiring you to write in size 9-10 font. Larger letters are so hard for me to read,and when it's smaller, it's neater. Easy as that.
•o3. //Terms of Service// I don't have to do much explaining about these do I? i mean to even be allowed to stay on gaia you have to follow these rules, so of course my forum is no different.
•o4. //Pg-13// There are going to be people who are uncomfortable with certain settings. Whether it be sexual, verbal, or violent. And I don't want any one in my RP feeling uncomfortable. Bow don't get me wrong, your encouraged to have romance, just don't have sex in my Forum. And fighting is almost expected, just keep the blood to a limit. And as for the verbal side of things, you may cuss, but don't go saying it every other word or sentence. There is a limit. And if you pass that line on any of these topics i will warn you.
•o5. //OOC// you are expected to role play in third person, example: 'Harper gently walked down the hall way. She heard her boots echoing on the floor and she saw Markus further along the way. "Hello." She said gently to get his attention.' And when you wish to speak out of character use some form of identification so people can notice it. Now i wont kick you out for it, unless i ask you about ten times to stop and you repeatedly ignore me.
•o6. //Profiles// There is a format for the profiles that i am including below. Copy that and fill it out. Then PM it to me, I'm almost always on, but if I'm not I'll get back to you so don't worry about it, with the title 'i read the rules'. your profile will automatically be ignored if you don't put that as the title. so if you don't get an answer from me with in a day, that is why i didn't answer you. otherwise I'll respond saying either tune it up or your free to post.
•o7.//Problems// If you have a problem of any sort with the RP i would rather have you PM me with the issue and i will address it. whether it's about the plot, my actions, or the actions of another. There is no reason to defame the thread. I will handle the problem the best way i see fit. I am a very reasonable person. Even if it's me you have the problem with. And unless you royally piss me off, i wont put you on my ignore list and prevent you from role playing any longer.
•o8. //Page stretching// You wont get kicked out for this either, but it's really annoying and i will ask you to take down what it is you posted.
•o9. //getting booted// If you make me mad, which takes a lot, i will not be afraid to kick you out. I don't care if your everyone favorite role player. I will not put up with crap or a snooty attitude. This includes whore girls. Excuse my language but one of the things that make me angry the fastest is hooking up with every guy in the RP, or making multiple characters so you can have all the guys in the RP. and the same thing goes for males. Other than that, i only really get mad if you don't listen to me, whether i be instructing or apologizing.
•1o. //Hitting// In no case is it ever fair to hit someone without giving them a chance to defend themselves. Now this doesn't give them a right to deflect every hit thrown at them, that would be godmoding, but they still need a chance within the confines of the character they have mapped out. the only time i will let this side is if it is a very insignificant hit. such as a slap or such.
•11. //Characters// You can only play two characters at one time. If one is killed you are free to make another. I'll even add in a graveyard if it comes to that...i think it'd be an interesting idea. But I don't think that many of you will be dying off.
•12. //Spam// Most of this comes from noobs, and others not partaking in the RP, but if it does arise i will put that person on my ignored list and have them take down what they posted or i will report them. Whether they are in my RP or not. You only get one shot at this one. You don't have to post nonsense in here. You can have fun in OOC but thats different.
•13. //More// I reserve the right to add, or change any rules listed above. So if i see another that needs to be added then i will put it up here and post an alert about it.
•14. //fun// I know the rules are intense, but i just want to make sure it's stable and clear. Regardless of the rules you are supposed to have fun in here. It is an RP meant for stimulation and entertainment.

{{ _____ the toωers ab°ve ; Five Feet Two Inches
{{ _____ the rock§ erєct ; One Hundred And Thirteen Pounds
{{ _____ the soιl coveяs ; Dorinda is quite a beauty, at least in her opinion she is. She takes great pride in her looks, and spends hours of her day making sure it was the best she could be, just like everything else in her life. Dorinda is a slim girl, with great curves that often drew attention from the opposite sex. She has a great fashion sense as well, and buys whats in style. Though she isn't terribly over the top about it. Dorinda isn't very tall either, she is shorter than most of her friends, but that doesn't other her very much, she likes what she looks like, and wouldn't want to change it.
Dorinda has a very light, almost blond color of her hair. And it's many layers frame around her face, and flare about her shoulders, finally coming to a rest on her back. Her eyes are a brilliant light hazel color, also, so light that they almost look yellow. She finds that it is a very defining quality of hers, and her eyes are her favorite thing about herself. She spends an hour in the shower, another hour drying, and curling her hair slightly, and then about a half an hour is alloted to the application of her make up. She doesn't pack it on, as she thinks girls who wear to much look like sluts, but she uses enough to hide the imperfections on her face.
» `` fly unto the never ending h e a v e n s {{ _____ crāck tңe ηut ; As stated above, Dorinda is a perfectionist. Everything has to be just right, down to the very last 'T'. Her parents think she's going to strain herself too much from how hard she works to do everything, and making it perfect. But she rather enjoys her time in her room, or in the kitchen. Her perfectionism came from when she was younger, she had seen what chaos and disorder did to those around her, and wanted to prevent it. So her room is always clean, and she cleans most of the house too.
As far as the rest of her life goes, she loves her friends, and even though they aren't perfectionists like she is, she doesn't mind much. She just takes the opportunity to improve their work any time she can. She is very neat, and also very kind to strangers. She'll apologize for just about everything, even if it wasn't her fault, because she'll do anything to avoid confrontation. She hates when she fights with her friends, though it's been a while since she's done so. And she'd never betray one of her friends either.
{{ _____ relίve mұ lifє ; Dorinda's coming about started with the marriage of two very different people. Her father, an up-tight business man, with a knack for making people feel inferior to him, and to condescend on just about every one he meets. And her mother, a nurturing, loving, not to mention beautiful, wonder, who would never do anything to hurt someone else's feelings. And when they got married, they had Dorinda right away. And life couldn't be any better for the small, upper-class family.
For the first few years of her life, Dorinda was an only child. She was dotted upon often from her father, and her mother concentrated all of her efforts into making Dorinda happy, and as a three-year-old girl, Dorinda thought this was how life was supposed to be. But then the news came, and the attention she had grown so used to shifted from her, to that of her up and coming little brother. At first Dorinda started throwing temper tantrums, to try and gain back their attention, and to her mind, their love. But when it didn't work, she gave that up.
Instead, she concentrated her time in doing everything right. Her small mind figuring that if she did everything perfect, then Mommy and Daddy would love her again. Dorinda was of course being far to over dramatic, but she was three, give her a break. But after she began this straining lifestyle, it never lifted. Even after other siblings came, two more to be exact. And once her youngest sibling, born when Dorinda was twelve, came into the world, their family was complete. But life was different for her younger siblings than when she had been younger. See, their father could have taken care of them easily when it was just her mother and Dorinda, but after three more kids, her mother had to take on a job as well. And guess who that left the responsibility of taking care of the children?
Yes, poor Dorinda, still a child herself. But she was pleased that she got to be in control. She tried instilling her life style to her fellow siblings, but they didn't take to it as she did, and often complained about how strict and mean she was when she was in charge. So, their mother hired a nanny instead. Which Dorinda didn't mind much either. That meant more time could be dedicated to her studies, and her time needed to do everything right. And as she was coming up into her first year of High School soon, order was something that would be a must in her life.
Dorinda took to an odd habit while in High School. None of her friends really saw her as a sporty person, yet when she was a freshman she tried out for the Volleyball team, and was so surprisingly good at it, she made Varsity. And thus, more of her time started to be eaten up. So during High School Dorinda didn't have as much time with her friends as she would have liked, between Volley ball, and getting a high enough GPA to get a scholarship to the college of her choice, she just couldn't hang out with them. And to make it worse, she didn't have the money for a cell phone, so it wasn't easy to reach her either. But High School ended, and she was still close to those who matter most to her. And that was all she cared about.
{{ _____ pa§§ing τhe tιme ; Volleyball, Whether it be at the beach or in a ym, she'll play anywhere she can. Relaxing, High School is over, and college is going to begin. So the time in between she's going to spend something she hasn't had time for in 12 years, fun.
{{ _____ þleasures iη lίfe ; Her friends, Volleyball, The beach, Her family, Stimulation, music, dancing, and Vanilla Ice cream.
{{ _____ i'‖ stāy aωay ; Spiders, the dark, being alone at any given time, doing dangerous things, and people who just follow the crowd.
» `` dig into the defying d e p t h s
{{ _____ a faя °ff lanδ ; Well Dorinda's favorite outfit is the is a grayish jacket, that had a little flare around her waist and at her wrists, with a white shirt beneath it. And a pair of Gray jeans, and white high heels. And a Gray and white necklace. She wears it as often as she can. As for her favorite store, that would be buckle, hands down.
{{ _____ tңe poωer uηleashed ; Drama.
{{ _____ n°t ān ordιnary waηd ; Dorinda doesn't carry around any sort of weapons, she doesn't really find the need. But as for gadgets, she has her trusty iPod. Which she got for her 16th birthday. And she almost always has one of the headphones in her ear.
