Welcome to The Louv
While Bartz and Dagger would like all members to enjoy themselves and feel free, we do expect everyone to adhere by the rules of this site. If you happen to break a rule, we will not automatically ban you (unless you piss off Boco). As long as mistakes are corrected, there shouldn’t be any problems.
However, if warnings are not taken serious or rules are repeated broken, suspending or banning accounts will happen. It's Dagger's and Bartz's right to remove any member from this site that is deemed harmful to the Louv's atmosphere. So please read the following carefully.
The Usual
No Stealing or Plagiarizing. If this isn't obvious as to why you shouldn't do it, then don't join. Taking someone else's character and claiming it as your own is a big no, no. Anyone caught doing this will be banned. If you have permission to use someone else's character, then a note of that should be added to the profile.
Respect Everyone in the Louv. If something offends someone (words, images, whatever) just stop. It's okay to disagree or even to dislike someone, but not to outright disrespect them. Such things can kill a site. We're all pretty fond of the Louv, thus we'd like to keep it alive. If there's ever an issue, tell an admin. Because it's hard to find rp buddies if you're a jerk.
No Godmoding/Powerplay/Autohitting. This is pretty obvious. If you're doing this then you really don't belong on a advance-literate site. It's one thing to have someone's permission, but another just to assume your character's attacks are always dead on.
Don't Piss Off Bartz and Dagger. Just like spitting on the face of a police officer leads to bad, pissing off one of the administrators will lead to bad in regards with the Louv. Usually bad means banning. While we're fairly reasonable people, it's always best not to try your luck.

One Account Per Character. You need to have a new account for each character. This is to help us keep track of all the characters on the board. Remember, you need to have a new character approved every time you apply for one before you can begin RPing with it.
An Avatar of the Character is Mandatory. This is all Dagger. She's pretty anal about this and will even find what she feels is the best looking representation if you do not put an avatar up.
Your Character Must Be Approved Before You Can Play. Posting anywhere in the roleplay before your application is accepted will only result in said post being deleted..
The Alternate Universe Board. Can be used for any characters you wish to roleplay. The perk of this is that you can use the any active account you have, which means no struggles of having to make a new one. All we ask is you stay active with your canon characters while participating the AU board.
For The Dedicated
Five Characters Per Person. Think about how much free time you have, how much computer access you have, and how much you really want to write for these characters.
No Limits On Canons. Once again, if you feel you can handle multiple canons, feel free to apply for them. Your five characters can be a combinations of canons from several different genres. OCs are unlimited.
Real Life Comes First. This is a motto we strongly believe in. There has been a lot of changes over the year because the lives of the players are more important than the characters. If anything ever happens, please feel free to notify Team Awesome or a fellow RPer. Characters can be saved and come back at another time and date if need be.
In Closing...
If there's anything you're unsure of or have questions about, just ask another RPer or an admin. Everyone here is friendly so don't ever feel afraid to question things.
