Welcome to Gaia! ::

It is recommended that everyone downloads the latest Google Bar and uses the spell check when posting in the RP

Since this is a complex RolePlay we need a guide to sort things out faster. Also the written word only has so much power, if we add some guidance imagination could do the rest for us.
This guide will be separated by type of posting and examples.

Out of Character posts

When talking out of character do it using double brackets instead of double parenthesis.

[[This is how Out of character talk should be posted, double brackets and bold]]

Character's actions

Just like always actions should be done within asterisks

*Takes a step and without notice starts laughing*

Character's Dialogue

Since most of us will have more than one character to play as, I would like it if everyone followed the script format.

Zairyo: "This is what I mean by script format, name of the character in bold will help"

Character's thoughts

I would appreciate if everyone avoided doing this unless your character can communicate through telepathy. Why avoid it? simple, some people can't help themselves to godmod and they will use the info or create a character that reads minds in order to beat you or whatever unfairly which would instantly piss me off and get them banned ^^

Zairyo: (This is why I wanted to use brackets with OOC)


Voice effects

If the character talking is a Famine it's text should be Indigo.
Even if the character is a host the text should be indigo since the Famine will be in control anyway.

Famine: "Ah we have a guest, should we give him our best reception?"


Other Languages

Not every race speaks "The Galactic Federation language" (aka English) so if you have a race that speaks other languages you should write with a strikeout line and italics. If the language is known through the galaxy though not as common you can just write it with italics only.

Race1: "What are you doing here stranger?"

Race2: "I got stranded, I'm looking for my friends"

Race1: "I can't understand what you're saying"


Narration

While you describe a scene and it's surrounding it'll be done the same way as always with the standard text size. Basically just write and don't worry about formatting.

Posting Scenes Artwork

If you feel like illustrating a scene the max size is 500 x 500 pix. If you want to do it by panels (comic style) with a sequence the total size must still be 500 x 500 max.
However if you have more than one scene to illustrate that doesn't happen in a sequence, more like two scenes in one post you can have two images posted both with a max of 500 x 500.
This is done to avoid stretching the page and help loading time

The roleplay creator assigns other users as Roleplay moderators. The task of a roleplay moderator is checking that nobody is breaking the rules. The number of roleplay moderators can increase if another user shows devotion towards keeping the rules.

Roleplay Creator: Zairyo

Roleplay Moderators:

From time to time there will be story events that will be posted by some of the RP mods. These stories could have characters that haven't been submitted but will eventually make it into the RP's database. The purpose of these events is to tie up our multiple stories bringing order to chaos.

They'll have a header so it'll be easy to spot a story event when browsing through the RP.
