Rated PG
No explicit adult content. This is a Disney RPG, after all! The edgiest Fantasmic Kingdom can be is comparable to Pirates of the Caribbean and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Characters may not swear, unless it's in-character.
Rules
1.) Act in-character. This means that you must act in your character's mannerisms and personality. Characters do not chat speak ("lol"). Also, to be in character means to have your character remain in relationships that parallel the source they come from. For example, Ariel should not dump Eric and hook up with LeFou in Fantasmic Kingdom, because Ariel hating/leaving Eric would be out of character. Please remain in character, in appropriate boards, at all times. As mentioned before, characters cannot swear, unless they are known to swear in canon.
Only in the Non-Canon category may you act differently
2.) Do not use any actor/actress as a 'face model' of any kind for your character. Your character must be as he or she appears. The character may be altered to fit their alias, but under no circumstance may you use an actor/actress 'face' or 'play-by.'
3.) There is no official character limit because of the time clause (see below), but please don't be greedy. The more characters one plays, the less of a chance another role-player can play as his or her favorite character.
4.) The
5.) Role-players who are inactive for six months or longer without a legitimate excuse may lose their character(s). Please heed this warning.
6.) Only Disney characters and some very specific exceptions are allowed to be played here. Please refer to the “Acceptable Characters” list.
7.) Characters from a media that has yet to be released may not be played here, because you must be very familiar with the media. For example, no character from Disney's Reboot Ralph can be role-played here yet, because the movie has yet to be released and therefore no one here has watched it. This rule exists because all characters here must be played accurately and with good knowledge. Of course, you may for example reserve a character from an upcoming film at a reasonable time, and use said character after you've watched the character's appropriate movie.
8.) No fan-made characters or personal accounts are allowed. This is not a public/normal message board.
9.) You may advertise in the appropriate board. That board is open for every 'guest' to post.
10.) No put downs or rude remarks, unless it's a character referring to another character in role-play. Insults directed to role-players is forbidden. If you have a problem with anyone, take it outside of the forum (and instead use PMs, e-mail, etc.)
11.) Do not "powerplay." No character is completely invulnerable. It’s understandable that some villains will likely be powerful and hard to subdue, but every character must be balanced.
12.) Do not take over a different character's actions, unless you are the character in another account or if you gain permission from the character's role-player. Also known as "godmodding," this practice is tremendously rude and a pet peeve of everybody.
13.) No killing of another role-player's character is allowed, unless you have arranged with the player to kill off the character. Always ask permission first!
14.) When in a thread with numerous amount of role-players, please be courteous and wait for everyone to get a chance to post. No one should be left behind.
15.) No character doubles. For example, no young/old/different versions of the same character. For example, Arthur from Gargoyles or Merlin from A Kid in King Arthur's Court are not allowed in Fantasmic Kingdom, because other versions of the characters are currently active.
16.) How long should a post be? Six sentences at the very least, but please strive for two paragraphs minimum. One-liners will not be accepted. When we say six sentences, we mean six sentences! Doing. Something. Like. This. Doesn't. Count.
17.) Make individual accounts for all your characters.
Merlin: “Rule 18.) No cheating!”
19.) Don't double post. Double posting in out of character and character profile threads is one thing, but there's absolutely no reason to reply to your own post. The Edit button is a handy tool for going back to posts that require... well, editing!
20.) A character's account's display name should just be the character's name, without anything more. Otherwise, areas such as the Members List will be rendered confusing and disorganized. For example, a character's account should be simply "Donald Duck" instead of "!~Donald Duck ^".
21.) Out of Character (OOC:) comments in role-play posts are prohibited. If you have an out of character question or comment, make them through private messages or an out of character category.
22.) We aren't Grammar Gestapos, but it's nevertheless a good idea to be literate. its vry hard to reed postz that dont displaye good inglesh as u can c. imagine particuarping in a thred loded with grammer errorz liek this and u know u will go bonkerz. Proboards has the ability to spell check any and every post. Regarding posts, the better the grammar is, the more clear and understandable the post is.
23.) Do not talk about religion, politics, or similarly controversial topics in Fantasmic Kingdom. Not only is this an ill-suited place for such discussions, there's no quicker way to start fights or tension. "God bless" is acceptable, but please no more than that.
24.) Avatars should be 100 pixels by 100 pixels. You are free to use smaller dimensions, but please don't make the avatars any larger.
25.) Signature images must be of a reasonable size compared to the site's template. If the image is too large, admins will notify the offenders.
26.) By joining Fantasmic Kingdom, you agree that the admins have the right to intervene if they feel your character's integrity is compromised. No exceptions. The admins also have the right to intervene in any way necessary to maintain peace and order.
