» The Rules

General

• All standard RP rules apply. That means no power playing, metagaming and the like. We don't want to be Nazis so please just use common sense. [Staff reserve the right to expand this section in response to any subsequent incidents.]
• Please keep drama off the boards. Remember to respect the staff and your fellow players.
• Do not post in the IC boards until you are accepted.
• Two administrators or one administrator and two moderators must approve your application before you are accepted.
• The RP format for this site is third person past tense.
• This is an R rated site. If your thread has mature content, be sure you put a warning in the title or first post of what's coming up in the thread. Other than that, happy swearing, having sex, doing drugs, and torturing.
• There is no character limit but please be reasonable.
• Please do not post in applications that are not your own.
• There is no post minimum. Use your best judgment.
• There is no limit to the number of threads your character may appear in as long as they are not in two places at once. If your character is involved in a plot thread, please do not have any threads dated after it.
• The board follows real time.
• Please follow posting order for threads. You may skip a poster if they have not replied for five days.
• Please leave a notice of absence if you are going to be away for an extended amount of time.
• Avatars should be no larger than 150x200. Signatures should be no larger than 500x200.
• Staff will review your application within three days. If we have not, feel free to bump it to draw our attention.
• Every character should be on a separate account unless they are twins/triplets/etc.

The Game

Applying

• Register with your character's name, nickname or codename. Capitalize where appropriate. Please do not register with a ridiculous name. This includes both first and surnames. Example: Rainbow Shadowblade
• This site is movieverse. Please use an actual person to portray your character. In addition, please make sure that the person is representative of the character. Staff reserves the right to request a portrayal change if such a case should arise. If you need help finding a portrayal, feel free to post in the questions board.
• Staff reserve the right to request a codename change. Please remember not to take a canon character's codename without staff approval.
• Staff reserve the right to ban or limit canons not explicitly listed. This power will only be exercised to maintain continuity or prevent the use of overpowered characters.
• When applying for a canon, submit a RP Sample in Canon Applications and wait for approval before writing up an application. This is to save you work. Staff reserve the right to deny someone a canon in the event that we feel the character is not being portrayed accurately.
• Please keep your original characters independent of canons. This means that Wolverine is not your character's father/brother/grandpa/etc.
• Work your character into the storyline. Include at least three events from the Timeline into your history.
• Please be realistic with your applications. Not everyone has a tragic childhood and became a god-like powerhouse after years of intense training. Originality would be extremely appreciated.
• Please do not reformat the application.
• Do not copy directly from an online reference source such as Wikipedia. Put it into your own words.
• Remember to demonstrate that you have knowledge of how your power works.

After Acceptance

• Please claim your portrayal after acceptance. If you have one reserved, please post again after being accepted.
• Please track all threads for canon characters in the Character Journals section.
• Classes cannot be challenged. However, anyone can develop their powers (to a certain point) and change their level. Simply post a list of your threads in the Review Forum at the end of each month and the staff will decide if your character has practiced or trained enough to warrant an increase in his or her level. Staff will notify you when your character has reached their peak.
• The class of canon characters is predetermined.
• Please keep your order of events sequential. If your character appears in multiple threads they should follow a progression.
• If you start a thread, please add this tag to your post:
