SITE RULES!

001. When creating your application, in order to help us keep track of your application and make it look pretty, please post it with the title as directed below. This is a rule, and therefore if not done, we reserve the right to list your application as pending. Format : First Middle Last.

002. When choosing a face claim, please (WE) use only people who are considered celebrities by any standard. For instance, please use only Actors/Actresses, Musicians, and Models. Using someone from a social networking site (Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, ETC) or any other internet source, is strictly forbidden. You are also not allowed to use your own personal photo.

003. When creating a character, their name should not be associated with a canon's name. This means any variation of Potter, Weasley, Granger, and any other canons included. The canons that are listed on the site are the only canons that will be allowed on the site. If you have an idea for a canon, it must be approved by every member of the site. If it is not, then your application will be marked as pending.

004. Family relationships to a canon with an original character are not permitted. We will not be accepting any long lost Potter twins or secret step cousins of the Weasley's seven times removed. The books were not written with these characters, and so neither with we.

005. Pure bloods. We all love them and love to have one, but we will only be accepting one original pure blood character per member. This permits everyone to have the opportunity to have their own original death eater or pure blood character. The only way you can have more than one pure blood character is if you create a canon character with a pure blood status. Pure blood canons will be limited at two per character.

006. Keep in mind when you are making a character, that if you are going to make more than one canon that they do not interact a whole heck of a lot. For instance, we are not going to let someone take Harry and then choose two more canons of their own to accompany him in his travels.

007. Personalities are made with flaws. Everyone has them, and everyone should. We don't want Mary Sues or Gary Stus on our site. If your character is accused of being a Mary Sue or a Gary Stu, we will inform you of what we feel needs to be changed about your character. Should you decide to argue back, you need to be able to explain how they aren't and if we feel that was not expressed well enough in your application, you will be expected to edit your application.

008. When creating a characters personality and history, please make sure that everything lines up. For instance, if your character had a hard history but is generally a happy go lucky person, that probably isn't too realistic. While we don't want them to be completely mopey, we want characters to be original and have their flaws. This also goes for characters that hate the world. They need to have a reason to hate the world, and even then, they are going to have some soft sides.

009. Histories, when writing them, may not seem too exciting. But we require that they are made to give us a little insight on the character and why they are what they are. If you can give us a little bit of an explanation in your history about how your character felt during major events in their life, it will help with how realistic your character is. Please keep in mind that not every character has a mopey history and not every character's history is flawless either.

010. Please refrain from including any canons in the history of your character unless you are creating a canon. We do not want original characters to have an automatic tie with a canon just because they were "best friends before they went to Hogwarts". It just isn't practical.

011. When creating a character with special abilities, we do require that you follow certain guidelines. These guidelines can be found here. If we feel that you do not have the proper know-how on how to deal with the special abilities and other creatures of this site, we will not be allowing you to create this character and they will be denied. You will be expected to start over.

012. There is a limit of four special abilities per member. Not per character. Meaning if you have four characters, you are allowed to give each of them one ability. If you have five characters, one will go without. You are not allowed to have one character and give them all four powers. The limit per character is two.

013. With a special ability you need to be able to explain where they got it, why they have it, when they got it, who they got it from and/or how they got it. If this is not done in extent in your biography, we will place your character as pending and expect you to fix your biography.

014. When creating your character, please include their first sign of magic. This is a vital part of the wizard world and can cause your application to be listed as pending.

001. The ICC is strictly for role-play. We expect you use it for that. All role-playing rules pertain on the in character chat box as they do on the site. Please keep it that way.

002. Please refrain from posting Out of Character in the In Character chat box.

003. If you are going to discuss what happened in the ICC, please take it to PM. People who are not involved may find themselves bored and quite un-entertained with the conversation.

004. If you are going to post in the ICC, realize that it may become hard to do with long messages. So keep it short if you (NOT) can. Simple, short actions that are distinguished with -'s or *'s and speaking words.
