1) No fighting or flaming.
Meaning if you have a complaint about another user, please contact an admin and we will do our best to resolve it. Flaming should be obvious, but no getting on anybody’s case about what pairings they like or how they choose to role-play. We are doing this for fun! And this is Hetalia. Any pairing can happen depending on a person’s preference.
Please be mindful of nationality. We have people from all over the world. Picking on other characters is all well and fine, just be TASTEFUL.
2) Be literate!
I cannot stress this enough! You must have a good grasp on the English language!
3) No chat speaking!
We are literate folks! General terms in ooc are exempt. Examples being: Lol or Brb.
4) When starting a thread, please specify which characters are allowed to post.
If you do not specify which characters the thread is for, it is safe to assume that anybody with in reason may post in your thread.
5) Quality over quantity
As much as we like long and detailed paragraphs, sometimes short just is better. No body likes to feel forced to make long posts, so do not fret. Mirroring posts is a personal decision one may abide by, but certainly not a requirement.
All that is asked of you is to make at least three paragraphs minimum so that people will have something to go off of! 5-7 sentences long please.
6) Before you can role-play, applications must be accepted.
7) You may have two characters.
But before you may have a second, you must have a post count of 120. But we are not accepting OCs!
8) You must post with in two weeks
We would prefer you post as frequently as possible, but we realize stuff arises such as life and writers block. But if you do not post with in the two weeks mark, we will open your character back up again. We will be strict with this rule. It hinders people who want to role-play with a certain character when they don’t get freed up again after a long period of time. We will NOT delete your account until someone reserves that character. So you have a chance to reclaim your character without losing anything. If you are going on Hiatus, this rule extends to a month unless you specify that you shall be gone longer.
I expect you to keep up with your posts. I will not be sending warnings out to remind you. I have other things to do. So if I see you have not posted in the specified time frame, your character will be opened and a note will be put in the news header. You may reclaim your character if nobody has reserved them! Just make a note in the character list.
9) Posting Order
Please post in order!
Example: England posts, then Vietnam posts, and then China posts. Then it will follow suit: England posts, then Vietnam and then China.
Over all, I think this will keep things more orderly and people will not get lost in the threads.
10) User Name
You may make an account after you reserve! But please do
make the account name the same name you reserve with! This makes my life so much easier~
General knowledge time! When creating a user name, I would prefer it if you make your own. (I.E. Rin.) Proboards is strange in the fact that if another user signs up with the same name, they will get all the previous person's posts.
You can change the display name on your account! So please don't worry about that sort of thing~
1) The original nation may not claim their counter part.
Example: England may not be Igiko.
2) Keep in mind they are from the game
When thinking of their likes and dislikes, keep in mind the setting. While their personalities will be SIMILAR to their counter part, there should be differences. Take America's love for hamburgers. Fem!America should have a love for another sort of food. If you have read these rules, please put Nyotalia at the end of your application for your gender bended character.
Despite this they should retain the major points of the character!
3) They are made in the nation's image, but are not countries.
The gender bended characters are actual people in the game. The data and the magic fusing together has brought them to life. They have their own thoughts and feelings. They believe they are real beings.
4) When you come to place of origin on the application, please check and select a home town from the cities list.
5) Gender bended nations may open shops in towns.
