Welcome to Gaia! ::

I~Introduction

Hello, and welcome to the first official RP in this guild! “AMERICAN ZODIAC” I encourage all of you to join, even if you don't have much experience in RPing, you'll learn quickly. Trust me, we regular RP-ers don't bite. I've never actually started an RP, though I am active in a couple at this moment...so I hope this goes well.

II~Background Story

Because the secret of the Welford Family is nationally known in America, the thirteen cursed members of the family move to Kaibara in Japan in order to start a brand new life and to keep their secret. But when they meet the Sohma clan their world is turned upside down when they find out that they aren’t the only family who is cursed by the Chinese zodiac. But like the Sohma family, an evil shadow looms over their family as they too have a child who is cursed by the cat. Bottom line is, when these families meet, a whole lotta strange crap happens.

III~Rules

Rules: Yes, all quality RPs have rules, I know it suck and you’re probably telling me now that I should take a straw and suck all the fun out of it but anyway, here we go:

~Rule number one...THIS IS A LITERATE RP. Type out your words. Use proper grammar and punctuation. Make the story and your character MAKE SENSE. Got it?

~You must know most of the story of Furuba. Thatmeans you should’ve at least watched the anime in order to get the gist of it, you must also have extensive knowledge of Rin and Kureno. (I myself have read up to books #18+.) If you haven't, at least act like you have so we can't tell.

~As long as there is no explicit sex scenes in the RP (I know that sorta sucks all the fun out of it) love matches between characters and OCs is ok. So at the most we should have M rated scenes.

~If you need to talk out of character as your actual self, just type in between double-parenthesis (( )) or double-brackets [[ ]]

~Do NOT be rude to any of your fellow roleplayers. If you need to critisize, be polite about it.

~STICK TO THE STORYLINE. And keep your character IN CHARACTER. That should be obvious. Disobeying this rule could get you kicked out of the RP.

~You may play ONE or TWO characters as of NOW, your Sohma character and your Welford character. But because this is entirely focused on a second family, we can have OC’s in this RP.

~Akito is a chick, like it or not.

~If no one is controlling a character at the present time, it is acceptable to include the character into your posts, but if someone owns that character then you need permission from the owner.

~In the event that you're going on vacation or can't reach the internet for a long period of time, you must PM me or Kyo_Bonez and inform us of when you'll be leaving, and when you're returning. You may also include in your PM who you want to temporarily take over your character, but that's optional. If no particular person is preferred to play your character while you're gone, then anybody can control them.

~The final rule, is that all rules are subject to change, seeing how things progress. Sorry if I sounded a little harsh..but the boring part is over! Now you can start reading the interesting stuff! Oh yes, and one more thing...please include the word "Welford" at the BOTTOM of your application (shown below), just to prove that you've read the rules. Yes, this codeword is important. Thanks.

On to the fun part!

IV~How do I join?

You must include the following info. in your PM to me in order to claim a character:

~Which character (Furuba character) would you like to play?
~Which character (OC) would you like to play?

~Example of roleplaying (three to five sentences will be fine):

~Any further questions? Please don't be hesitant to ask!

[codeword]

Yep. That's all I need to know, since I believe all of us are familiar with the Sohmas/others. No need for a picture either.

Bio: Alexis is Dean's twin sister and a member of the American Zodiac. She moved to Kaibara with the rest of her family to escape the town where everyone knew their secret. Since she is the snake, she was considered evil and untrustworthy. She was cast away from society because of this. She acts quite cold towards people she doesn't know and often seems aloof at times, she is actually quite friendly once you get to know her and she is very protective of those she cares about. She is in her third year at Kaibara high, along with Uo, Yuki and Tohru. She reacts quite badly if someone annoys her or harasses either her friends or family.
Most people are quite scared of her as they find her very intimidating, narsisstic, pessimistic, uncaring, tomboyish and cold hearted.
