Rules

1. Don't be mean!

2. See rule 1.

3. If someone IS being a mean, tell them about it, or tell a mod about it, but let's not all be a bunch of wankers.

4. No god moding. Getting player permission to do some things (especially murder or grievous harm of characters) is important.

5. Please remember: IC actions have IC consequences, though it should be said that in this game it all may be a bit lulzier.

6. There is currently a character limit of 5 characters.

7. We have an IC comm and an OoC comm. The IC comm may be used for journal posts (text, voice, or video), action posts, logs, or whatever combination of those you so please. The OoC comm is for introductions of players & characters, announcements, etc.

8. Please tag your own IC posts in the following format "name (canon)" You don't have to tag posts you hit up, but you might find it useful for posting your activity.

9. You must abide by the activity check rules as described here.

10. Though we loathe to censor people, this is a light hearted game, not an adult game. If you want to play any smut, you cannot play it here, but you and a fellow consenting adult are encouraged to take it somewhere else. Risque humor, however, is encouraged, and though graphic violence should have warnings, it is not banned. Comedic violence is more in the spirit of the Netherworld~

11. You may break the 4th wall, however please only do so with characters who know about such things. If they learn about the 4th wall in game, then they may break it if you feel it's in spirit/IC for your character.

12. You may not canon puncture without permission unless this is a normal part of their (not your character’s) canon (such as Disgaea). If you get permission from the players of that canon, however, it is fine. Canon puncturing is the IC act of telling another character they are fictional. You can check a character's app/status screen to see what their general stance on this is, but it's still best to be careful.

Applications

Please leave a comment or thread of comments below, submitting the following application, filled out. You may also submit a link to another post containing your filled out application. Apps at Netherworld Academy are always open.



Player Info
Name:
IM Contact (Plurk/AIM preferred):
Personal Journal (optional): Whatever journal you'll read PMs from.
Are you okay with Canon Puncturing in regards to your character? (Having your character be told they are fictional IC)? (y/n)

Character Info
Name:
Canon: Please also include canon point.
Title: Every character has a title, even if it's just, say, 'Average Joe.' Are they a 'World Champion'? A 'Beauty Queen'? A 'Nobody'? If you leave this blank, a title will randomly be assigned by the bureaucracy.

Background: A wiki link is acceptable. Lacking that, you'll actually have to type it out.

Personality: Quality over quantity here. We realize this is a fun game for silly characters who might have less depth than others. If there’s not a whole lot to your character but they’d be fun to play here, that’s okay! If there is a lot to your character we do ask that you demonstrate that. We want you to show us that you really know and love your character, whether that takes two paragraphs or ten, but if you give us ten the prinny who has to read this might give the Dark Assembly a bad word for you... maybe.

Evilities: This section is called powers/abilities in most apps. What can you do? Bonus points for giving individual abilities names! (bonus points redeeming for nothing, save perhaps our love, sorry~)

Inventory: What stuff did you bring with you? About how much money? The bank may have things that your character would not have carried on their person. Rich characters are entitled to continue being relatively rich if the player wants that.

Notes: Whatever other messages you’d like to put down.

Sample Post: A musebox post is fine as well. It’s not required to be in the NW setting, but is encouraged. What’s important is the demonstration of your character’s voice. We'd like to see at least 150 words.
