    Welcome to HELLBOY: BLOOD & WATER, an alternate-universe role playing experience. Here lie the rules of our forum, so naturally the first rule is to respect these rules. The purpose of these rules is to make the board more enjoyable for everyone, so while some of them might seem unnecessary, they are here for a reason. Apart from our rules, we ask that you honor our board hosts terms of service, which can be viewed HERE. Abusing or breaking the rules may result in a formal warning, or the banning of your account. Thank you for your consideration.

    ∞ When registering, register with your characters first and last name in proper capitalization { John Smith }.

    ∞ If the above rule is not applicable, register with your characters FIRST & LAST name in proper capitalization { John Smith }.

    ∞ If you require a name change, don't worry. Name Change Request page.

    ∞ You are allowed up to 3 characters without administrator approval, however you must have at least 15 quality in-character posts with each character before you are permitted to make a new one. Also, to gain permission to have more than three characters will require a discussion with the admins to make certain that you an keep up with your selection. Activity is important, so be careful not to overwhelm yourself.

    ∞ We do not permit Mary-Sues, or Gary-Stus on this board, so please fill out your application accordingly.

    ∞ Non-Canon characters are only allowed ONE or TWO abilities, unless the abilities go together. Canon characters get more then this because they are more important. Unless the original's abilities are written strongly, then we might consider accepting.

    ∞ Should you decide to kill off one of your characters for any reason, please inform an administrator so their biography can be archived in application heaven. On the other hand, we do not allow canon characters to be killed off. You can, however, give them up.

    ∞ There is a password, but having learned from experience that people click on the rules only to locate it, the password has been better hidden, so keep your eyes peeled. It is important to us that our members are informed and familiar with the rules.

    ∞ Don't just register and leave, if you leave please take accountability for yourself and let us know so we can remove your profile(s) and character extras.

    ∞ Finally, when posting your application, be mindful to post it in the correct forum. If you are posting a work in progress, post it in the unfinished profiles forum. When its done you can reply to it, or tell a staff member, and it will be moved into pending to be reviewed. On the other hand, if you're posting a completed form, post it in the pending forum. Applications should be posted in the following format:

    Topic Title....................................................................LAST, First
    Topic Description.............................................................Played by: Name

    ∞ HELLBOY: BLOOD & WATER desires to keep the aim of storytelling mutual among its players, which means that members are expected to uphold quality. This includes: proper spelling, punctuation, etc. We don't have a set word count, but we would like you to live up to matching your partners posts. Too often as roleplayers we pour our hearts into a long thread and have it returned with a few sentences. Please, please, please don't do that. We humbly request that you give an adequate response to your fellow writers. Keep the posts going! We expect effort and quality of posts.

    ∞ We don't allow power-playing or god-modding unless it is a neutral agreement between everyone involved in the thread. However, we do have that special phrase that we warned you about in the beginning of this topic... Tricky aren't we? The pass phrase is 'Rotten eggs and the safety of mankind'.

    ∞ We understand that the real world can get really hectic, and that members might need to take a hiatus from time to time. So our post rate is really relaxed here. We recommend posting at least once per week, but if you tell the staff your situation (if there is one) this rule can be exceedingly lenient. Real life is always more important than a forum, so do not hesitate to declare an absence when you need to. Nobody is going to execute you for having a real life.

    ∞ The official forum rating is M/R, which means the possibilities of language, drug use, sexuality, innuendo, alcohol are permitted. In regards to mature threads and sex, a fade-to-black rule is in effect. This means that sexual subjects can be hinted at, but not graphic. If you want to go further take it elsewhere. (Not on the forums).

    ∞ Although we are a movie-comic based forum, we do not allow art in your avatars. Your character play-by should be a celebrity/model. This means that random pictures of people in real life are not permitted. This includes DeviantArt models. Make sure to go to our face claim page, and claim your play by immediately after finishing your application.

    ∞ All avatars are required to be 160x250. You're more than welcome to request an avatar from our staff if this is an issue. Please note that there is also a chance that graphics become uniform in the not so distant future. Meaning, everyone would have a similar style.

    ∞ No signature should be larger than 500x150. You're more than welcome to request an signature from our staff if this is an issue. Please note that there is also a chance that graphics become uniform in the not so distant future. Meaning, everyone would have a similar style.

    ∞ Nudity and pornographic content are not permitted in member graphics.

    ∞ Remember the most important rule: HAVE FUN! This is a hobby, after all... And not work! (YAY!) The last thing we want are stressed out roleplayers. So, don't worry, be happy!

    ∞ By joining our forum, you are agreeing to the general (not to be taken for granted) forms of courtesy. We will not stand for bashing other players publicly or privately. If a concern arises about a member, please contact a staff member and we will work with you to remedy the situation at hand.

    ∞ Advertising does not belong anywhere except for the advertising forum, thank you!

    ∞ When using the cbox, please remember to use a groovy little icon. You can do this by hosting your image in imageshack, tinypic, or photobucket..etc. Please don't hotlink your images by letting the source host your icon. If you need someone else to host your icon please ask, and a staff member will take care of this. To use an icon in cbox, take the url and put it in the email field.

    ∞ We as administrators we will do our best to be available to you as often as possible. It is our goal to keep the playing fields even. We do, however, reserve the right to deny serving unprofessional and discourteous players. Let's remember to treat everyone with respect, and the board will run smoothly. After all, nobody likes a drama llama (or a duck!).

    ∞ Finally, should a problem arise, or a disagreement, it is important to remember that the staff have the final say. It is our creation, and we will all treat it as if it is a baby because in a sense it is. It is something that grows with care, and so please treat us with respect and listen if we ask you to change something. Thank you!
