1. Registering- Please register with your character's first and last name. Include proper spelling and capitalization. Ichabod Makowski, not iCHaBoD MaKoWSKi.
2. Rules and Stickies- Since KK is an alternate universe, we have changed quite a bit from the Supernatural and Smallville shows in order to mesh the two genres and take up our own storyline. It is imperative that you read the rules and stickies within this forum, ESPECIALLY if you are going to take up a canon character. Believe me, we will know if you didn't.
3. IC vs. OOC- You must keep what your character knows separate from what you know. Characters can only know what they have personally experienced.
4. Player Control- You may never move, harm or kill another character without getting permission from that player first. To prevent being warned, we ask that you put an OOC note in your roleplay if you've been given permission to move the character you are moving.
5. Thread Marking- Always remember to mark the title of your thread! This is REQUIRED and VERY important.
6. One-Liners- Add in your thoughts, put a bit of description of your surroundings or yourself... paint a picture. Give the others in your thread something to work with... something to react to. One-line posts are not allowed in roleplay.
7. Turn Based- Kryptonite and Kerosene is a turn-based rp, rather like a board game. In roleplay you may not skip turns, or post out of place. Skipping a character's turn and then roleplaying for two pages without them is considered thread-jacking. Thread-jacking is rude and will not be tolerated.
8. Player Inactivity- After THREE days of inactivity in a thread, if the remaining active people in the thread would like to continue the thread without the inactive person, you may do so. But you must wait the three days to skip over the person. Once a person has been skipped over, you do not have to wait for them to post again, but can continue on taking turns with the rest of the group members.
9. Instant Relationships- At Kryptonite and Kerosene, we do not want instant relationships to be formed, unless this is part of your history. You can be a friend instantly, but we don't want you falling in love in two pages or less. Best friends; maybe.
10. Our Ratings- This board is rated PG-13. Title flags MUST be used at all times, and if you are easily offended then steer clear of said threads.
11. Avatar Usage- Here at Kryptonite and Kerosene, we require an avatar. The size cannot exceed 150w X 200h. If you can't make one yourself, then ask an admin for help and we'll see what we can do. Likewise, you may have a graphic in your signature, but it must be under 500w X 250h.
12. Character Models- To begin roleplaying, and to be accepted, you must choose someone to be your character model. You may not use the same model as someone else unless your characters are twins (this requires admin approval).
13. Posting Limits- Now, each post that you make while role playing must be at least two paragraphs long. It's not that hard if you try to make it how it should be. I promise.
14. God Moding- You're not the all time supreme ruler of the universe who can't be destroyed, so don't act like it. Some hunters may seem pretty tough, but they have weaknesses. So yes, no god moding.
15. Character Acceptance- To begin role playing, you must wait for an admin to accept your application, and then it will be moved to the Accepted Character's section and then you may begin.
16. Pregnancies - We understand that some characters may choose to have relations. While this is understandable, your character may not get pregnant unless it has been approved by admin. Asking does not guarantee acceptance of the idea, you must have a reason, a way that this pregnancy will help with the plot.
17. Thread and Character Limits - You are allowed to have as many characters as you can keep up with, and be in as many threads as you can keep up with. The pass-phrase is red meteor rock. If you are found taking advantage of our lift of the character limit and you make characters just to have them lie dormant rather than active in roleplay, you may be subject to lose your face claim, with warning given first.
18. Approval - Do NOT rp until your bio submission has been approved. You may post in the OOC sections, but not in active rp.
19. Sub-Forum Rules - Some forums may have their own rules. Pay attention to sticky posts.
These rules may be amended at any time as staff see fit.
