[center][color=darkgoldenrod][h2]TL;DR[/h2][b]< Rules >[/b][/color][/center]

[list][*][b]High-casual to advanced standard.[/b] (Strictly no one-liners!) Of course, we are not asking you to write novel-length purple prose; rather, the emphasis is on quality such as minimal spelling and typo errors, good grammar and punctuation, proper paragraphing and sentence structure. Proofreading your work before hitting the post button is highly encouraged.[/list]

[list][*][b]Character-driven and interaction-heavy.[/b] Do expect lots of psychological drama and collaborative writing. Of course there is a plot, but all we can say is: just sit tight and brace yourselves for the unexpected twists. *smirks*[/list]

[list][*][b]16+.[/b] Violence, gore and profanity are allowed as long as they are not done excessively. Be mature and open-minded as this roleplay will contain dark psychological themes and possible character deaths.

General forum rules still apply here, remember that - take all the steamy stuffs away from public eyes and do them in PMs, please. Fade to black, and don't be a dick.

Don't think you can escape from basic roleplaying etiquette here - while we believe that Mary Sues/Gary Stus won't have a place in this roleplay, no godmodding, metagaming, autohitting etc. will be entertained unless given explicit permission to do so.[/list]

[list][*]As this roleplay contains a mystery-thriller element, [b]anything not mentioned or established in the IC is a secret.[/b] That is, you're not allowed to reveal the clues the GM has given you to the other players except within the IC only.[/list]

[list][*]We do understand that real life should take priority over a shared hobby, and we do not feel the need to force a fixed posting schedule on the players. However, [b]1-2 posts per week or every fortnight should be relatively stress-free enough to handle.[/b] If you need more time away to battle with real life wars, we would greatly appreciate that you drop us a notice so that nobody will leave you out of the epic adventures.

If you have to drop this game when it has already begun, do drop us a note so that the GMs can take over your character(s) from there. We'll be sad to see you go, but that's life, innit?[/list]

[list][*]We love to see IC drama and angst - obviously - but please leave them out of the OOC. While the GMs aren't evil dictators, [b]do respect us and our decisions all the same.[/b]

Of course, feel free to approach us if you need help with things related to this roleplay.[/list]

[list][*]Last but not least... [b]HAVE FUN! :D[/b][/list]

If there's anything you're unsure of regarding this rule, please go to any of the GMs for clarification.

For Moogle, you may choose [b]any [u]one[/u][/b] of the canonical designs from across all the game titles. Feel free to use [url=http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Moogle_(race)]this page[/url] for your reference.

[b]Please post all applications either in the OOC tab or PM directly to the GMs. Do not post your CS in the Character Tab unless it's been approved.[/b][/list]

[list][*]Kindly use the template provided below to make your sheet(s). Some guideline for those who may not be good with coding:
[list][*]Keep the CS inside a hider so as not to take up too much space (and also make life easier for mobile users);
[*]Remove the dot in [b][.hr][/b] for the horizontal line to work properly;
[*]For color codes, you can either use [url=http://absitomen.com/index.php?topic=331.0]this list[/url] or any other online color code generators (Google is your best friend);
[*]If you have no need for some of the codes - such as the optional sections - simply delete them to keep the sheet neat (unless you plan to add stuff later as the IC progresses, then that's fine);
[*]You can use the "Preview" button at the top-right of the posting box to check for errors.[/list]
