These are the guidelines for the rules and guidelines for the roleplay forum.
This will include how I would like the posts to be set up, such as to show dialogue, actions, and Out of Character comments.
It will also tell about rules for this forum, and what can get you kicked out or, if you are family, disowned and placed as a friend once again.
This will also show you how to set up your roleplay topic.

Roleplay Storylines
This section is used as a guideline for what storylines will appear, main or otherwise, and what settings should be used.
The whole guild is centered around the Faust Tenebrae, and so to start off, I shall describe the Manor. It is a large, stone building, set in the center of old ruins on an ancient stone city, what is said to have been a city ruled by the Faust in ancient times. Only the manor remained intact, but since the fall of the city, many of the buildings have been repaired for the use of friends.
The manor itself has been added on over the years, the stone building taking on the appearance of a Cathedral with large stained glass windows and sharp designs on the roof, ang Gargoyles placed on ledges. On the inside, it is more modern, however, with electricity and such.
Around the manor and the ruins is a cemetery. However, with planted flowers and trees, it looks more like an extravagant garden filled with statues and monuments. Past that is a field that meets to a large forest, with a small lake inside it.
The storylines made for the topics should be in the land or manor of Faust Tenebrae. Or, if it isn't located there, it should be an event elsewhere, or the home of your character. Your character's home may also be placed in the Kyoki Tenebrae land.

Post Setup
For roleplays, I'd like the format usually seen. Normal text is for actions, quotations for speech, and italics for thoughts. An example:
He shied back, glancing down. "No, madam, I haven't seen him." He said. Dear god, Wallace, please get there safely, he thought to himself.
For out of character comments, I'd like it to be separated. Examples of good brackets are: (), ::, ;;, {}, [], //, \, and ||.
You may leave comments inside the roleplay, but for the most part, leave the comments for after the post.

Topic Layout
When you make a roleplay topic, you must introduce the setting. If it is inside a house, show us how many rooms it has, what color it is, if it has rugs or polished wood floors, and if there is sunlight streaming through the windows or if a tree just outside it is blocking some of the sun. Or, instead of showing it that way, give a quick summary. It is a blue house with hardwood floors and five rooms downstairs and four upstairs with a bright garden by the front door. Either way, you need to give a description of the place. It doesn't matter if it is a flowing paragraph or two basic sentences.
It is up to you to define if there are certain rules to your thread, or if character profiles are needed.

Behaviour
Last but certainly not least is behaviour. You may not act aggressive or troll people in this forum. If it is personal, take it to pm. However, your character may hate and be rude or violent to another character. Do not take any acts against your character personally.
The only things your character may not do are sexual acts (or if they do, they must only be implied and skipped over, such as they went into a room and closed the door, and leave off there.) and they cannot kill something instantly with, say, mind bullets.
God modding is not allowed. God modding is invincible characters, one hit kill characters, manipulating another character (like saying their sword breaks or they die), and so on. Your character must have weaknesses. They must be simple as well. A vampire cannot be in sunlight and is weak against crosses.
