Rules~
*****NOTE!!!*****
You must be 13 years or older in order to roleplay legally here. It's okay if you're like... a month away from being 13, but if you're, like, 9 years old, please don't. I wish I could judge based on experience/maturity instead of age, but that's the law and the Proboads TOS. Sorry ;3;
*Golden Rule*
Please, tell the staff if you feel someone's breaking the rules or making you uncomfortable. WI - and proboards as a whole - is supposed to be a family-friendly landscape where you can feel comfortable, and escape the stress of the world and dive into another one entirely! So, if someone is harassing you; worrying you; or just generally making you uncomfortable, please screenshot the evidence and send it to Polygone or ℬarkers15. We love you guys, and we don't want you to feel unsafe! You're everything to us, and if you feel upset/angry/uncomfortable, we'll do everything in our power to stop you feeling that way - and get rid of the source.
Don't be afraid to talk to us, even if it seems trivial and even stupid. It's fine. We'll listen. <3

There might be vulgarities. What I ask is that you be mature about it. You can have a particularly vulgar character, but if it gets out of hand I might have to start censoring certain words. I've already censored a few, so we'd rather not restrict it any more than that!
Fade-To-Black Mating Scenes. Please, don't roleplay out your characters doing each other dirty. If you really feel like you want to, then go ahead - on another site. Don't do it here. That's against the Proboards TOS.
Stay True To The Group's Culture. If your character was born into RiverClan, then they probably won't be 100% understanding of ShadowClan's ways! If your character was birthed into ThunderClan, then they won't be acting like a WindClan character.
Keep Your Bio Up-To-Date. Please don't leave your bio stagnant the entire time you're here. Your character's bio is needed to get up-to-date information on them, their past, their personality, and their appearance, as well as their relationships and such! So please, keep it as up-to-date as possible.
No Powerplaying. This means no pretending your character is flawless, has no problems, and is entirely perfect on all fronts. Every person has flaws and worries and fears; likewise, this character most likely cannot get hurt, and that isn't allowed either. Let your character get hit, roughed up; for every 2 hits they dodge, they must take 2 hits.
No Godmodding. This means no controlling characters that aren't yours. If you control Ramen, Noodle, and Soup; you can't go off and try to control Pickle, Dill and Pepper, seeing as they don't belong to you. You WILL get a warning if you do this, so just don't do it. ^^'
No Insta-Boy/Girlfriends. All of your character's relationships must blossom forth naturally. This is a massive no-no for roleplaying, especially one like this where it's just slice-of-life and such. If you want your character to be with someone, have their relationship develop from an acquaintence to friends and then to lovers!
No Insta-Babies. Your character must wait at least 4 days before having their baby/babies, or 1 week at the most.
No Parentless Kids Under 3 Years Old. This is just common sense.
No Overly-Dramatic Backstories Everywhere. Not every character needs to have dead parents/siblings/grandparents/etc. A person can have a perfectly happy backstory and end up naturally screwed in the head; or they can have a very traumatic background and be a cheery, bubbly person as a result!
Forbidden Love Must Be Approved. HalfClan people are supposed to be a rare and off-chance thing, which is why it's so shocking when it occurs - why it's so horrific to both the Clans and to their ancestors when it's revealed. Likewise, Healers have their rules for a reason. If you want your character/s to be in a Forbidden Love, please contact Polygone and/or @barkers15. Expect a "no" 90% of the time - very rarely will we ever allow a Forbidden Relationship. That way, when it does happen, it's a real kick in the pants!
Sexuality Is Not A Character Trait!!! It's a fact of being. People of different sexualities are totally allowed around here, and so we must be honest: being gay, bi, pan, etc. isn't the entire scope of someone's personality. It's just a tiny wedge in this character's entire world, and makes up only a tiny piece of them - even if they try to flaunt it about, it isn't all there is to know about them.
Please Be Active. We find it rude when someone comes into a forum, makes a character, and never roleplays - it's even worse when the person comes in and then never makes a character! So please, before you join, ask yourself; "Will I legitimately be part of this community if I hit 'register'?"
Please Be Literate In English. English is the forum's language. If you don't feel fluent enough, you can either wait until you feel confident, or you can ask another member/staff member to help out when you post!! ^3^
2 High Ranks Per Member. Since we have so few people/characters in the forum, I'm letting people take on 2 High Ranks. However, you can't have two Leaders at the same time! You can have any combination that doesn't include more than one leader. Once we have more people, we'll keep this to 1 per member.
Please Don't Roleplay Before Your Character Is Accepted! Character are applied for so we can check over your character and be sure everything is good with it. If you roleplay beforehand, you might be at risk of having to change your character!
Loners and New Recruits are presently closed. ... not much else to say here.
Please Don't Demand - Suggest. If you want something to change on the forum, please don't demand it. You are not the owner of the forum; you have no place to demand things. However, if you want to suggest something, feel free! Just don't throw a fit if your idea is held off/denied. <3
HAVE FUN!!! This place is supposed to be a relaxing, enjoyable place, and we want you to have fun! Sure, we have rules, but we all need them! So please, enjoy yourself, because we love you!![/div]
that way members that don't have them will be surprised by anything that happens there! Once the other healers post up, I'll give out the password>>
