| general rules & guidelines |
| joining the gpsl: first, choose a comic character to base your superhero off of! you can pick anyone that has an available wiki page. when picking a pb you can pick anyone you'd like except for any actor or actress that has portrayed that character in film or television. please use an ic username with no underscores, numbers or excessive letters. when you apply, we should see an ic contact post and ooc contact post with character information in your journal, both backdated. examples are required to join and we'd prefer to see thread and narrative examples for the most part. character information: we do not expect a full biography, but we do want to see that you have a basic understanding of your character when applying. please include the following info in your ooc post: full nameupdates: run on a monthly cycle. you'll have between the first and last day of each month to update your character journal and make a comments enabled post on the fp. your updates can be whatever you want but try to provide some insight into your character when you do. we highly suggest saving instagram posts for your interactive updates instead, as those should be open for characters to comment on and interact with yours through. removals: occur at the end of each update cycle. you can be removed in the middle of a cycle if your friend's list is out of date more than 7-10 days or if you haven't responded to any of your activity/intro comments within a few days. we have a zero tolerance policy for ic/ooc blurring or harrassment of any kind and will remove anyone who participates in either without warning. rejection: this is not a first come, first serve community. we reserve the right to accept and reject as we see fit. if your application was deleted that means you were rejected. we reject applicants if we feel that their examples were not what we are looking for, if it was clear that rules/about pages had not been read or we just didn't feel as though you'd be a good fit for the community. as it stands, we do not answer many inquiries on rejection. |
| activities and world-building |
| group plots and events: to keep things exciting in the beingverse, we'll be regularly introducing group-wide plots and random events into the mix. most will make use of NPCs but we also welcome any suggestions that people may have involving their characters. activities: besides our plots and events, we'll also be having group threads, free for all posts, news and more. for now, please avoid off-site activities like plug.dj, rabb.it, wire, and discord; we'd rather everyone focus on being active on the fp first. world-building: we will have some established npc characters and groups from the get go to give members something to go off of. you can view details here. members are also encouraged to help us build more of the world with possible organizations or businesses they may be a part of or run. we're open to all ideas and contributions so don't be shy to bring them to us. |
