Staff may post official posts, be it RP or otherwise here.

A spliced character can drop off a gift in-character.

Anyone without a character may drop off a gift in-character but in OOC brackets. (Ex: ((HelMel sneaks in and props a letter up against a lamp.)) )

LEAVE THE DRAMA AT THE DOOR!

Please don't take things Aria does to your character as a reflection of my feelings for you. IC and OOC are two different things.

No chatspeak, though contractions are ok.

Please post more than 2 or 3 short sentences in an RP. At least a nice paragraph, please. I like to have a full RP, not just me posting three paragraphs to get answered with just your character's immediate reaction. This isn't a dance; I won't lead.

Don't steal her personality.

Located on a remote island, a scientific organization known as CRONUS performs experiments and research to improve crop growth and general nutritional value.

The truth? The crops are a cover-up. The real research is done inside the laboratory, in levels deep beneath the earth's surface. Stark, empty hallways where scientists rush from one experiment to another, scribbling madly on various clipboards, pausing every once in a while as a scream echoes from the walls. Screams of horror...from human and Pokemon alike. It is unsure exactly what CRONUS' intentions are for their "experiments," but this much can be sure...it can't be good.

Hope would have been the name of the Ariados if the good and just of the world were ever rightly rewarded. Hopeful described more than just her personality; it was her essence, the very core from whence all her decision and aspirations were deeply rooted.

.... more to come as I write it. BD

Ariados (アリアドス, Ariadosu) is a fictional species of the Pokémon franchise.

The name Ariados is a portmanteau of Ariadne and Dos, meaning 'two' in Spanish, as it is the second form of Spinarak, or because it can spin webs out of both its mouth and a gland on the opposite end.

Ariados can be viewed as a cross between a spider and an ant. It has six legs with two of its legs near its rear, possibly serving as antennae, as well as a small horn on its forehead and large eyes. There are small pincers on either side of its mouth that aid in gripping and chewing.

Ariados is able to spin silk out of both its mouth and rear, which is advantageous against unsuspecting foes. It captures prey by spinning its strong silk around the prey, rendering it helpless to be devoured or carried back to the nest.

Ariados' feet end in hooks that allow it to grip well enough to walk on vertical surfaces and on horizontal surfaces upside-down.

A design on Ariados' rear that is shaped like a face, is used to ward off foes and predators, similar to the Happy Face spider.

Ariados uses its nest as a base of sorts. A strand of silk is constantly spun from its rear that leads back to its nest. This allows it to wander in search of food, which it usually does at night. This is in contrast to its unevolved form, Spinarak, which instead waits patiently for its prey to come to its web.

Ariados is sometimes seen traveling in packs or swarms.

Ariados' stats are somewhat average, considering that it does not evolve any further. Its Attack is its best stat, which can be taken advantage of with moves like Signal Beam, a strong Bug-type attack. Ariados learns the move Spider Web, a bug-type move exclusive to Ariados which preventes foes from escaping. Ariados is often instead used as a Pokémon to battle in-game trainers in the early stages, as Ariados evolves at an early level and is favored by many trainers due to its ability to learn Dark/Ghost type attacks.
