--Don't be mean. This is a Big one!
--Do Not Godmod, nobody likes that. For those who do not know godmodding is control another character who you don't play's actions, speech anything like that.
For example if I were to post:
"Scamp jumped at Steele with his fangs and Steele rolled out of the way just in time." I would be breaking the rules because I posted what Steele was doing, which I cannot do because I am not his player. You are telling your character's story not writing for anyone else.
--Use English please. Nothing Personal. I can't understand anything else. Also please do not use chatspeak.
--Try and use punctuation and proper grammar. I know we're all capable of spelling mistakes but please try your best. Capitalize your words and pronouns.
--This Board is rated PG-13. Nothing too explicit please, but this is about war. So Blood and injuries are allowed but nothing too graphic.
--While cursing is now allowed please use it lightly, we do have people under 18 here. DO NOT USE THE F WORD. If you must write it as such "F***" or "F***ing*.
--No Spam. If you spam the board you will be banned immediately.
-- If you do not agree with something (a pairing, a character's side choice) be nice about it. DO NOT flame people's art boards, the ooc boards or the discussion boards.
--No plagiarism. Make sure your work is your work. That goes for applications and sample posts even if you are playing a character someone else has played as. We must see that you can write on your own.
-- Drama rules: You cause drama you are out. No ifs ands or buts. I'm working on a baseball policy. Three strikes and you are out.
-- Respect the Admin. Without Scamp we wouldn't even have this site, so the least you can do is show some common courtesy and treat her with the respect she deserves for that. This shouldn't even need to be said, but one or two people being borderline rude to her have made this addition a necessity.

Character Rules
--You can have up to six characters. Admins and Mods are allowed to have more than five characters so long as they do not take up more than 2 main characters as well.
--Cannon characters ONLY. No OC's will be allowed in D.V.C.V.R There are plenty of cannon characters to choose from that will give you enough creative ground to play with. Try a minor background character if you want an OC.
--However, you will be limited to two background characters (nameless characters and characters who don't speak.)
--Each Character must have a separate account. And The account name should be the character that you are choosing to play as. I don't mind if you join as whatever name you want but once you begin play or apply for a character PLEASE change your name.
---In order to apply for a character you must, after reading these rules and the character guidelines, claim a character in the appropriate folder in character claims (either Dog Pack for dogs both dog and wolf, Clan Heart for feral cats and Wild Ones for big cats. Once you make your claim you need to fill out an application and post it in Awaiting Approval in the appropriate folder (either Dog Pack or Clan Hearts) and wait for me or Steele to approve it.
--Approval could take from a week to an hour. Be patient and do not PM me about approval or post in your app whining about how I haven't approved you yet. If its taking a while, don't worry, we have not forgotten about it. There's a good reason why I haven't approved yet.
-- Wait a week between applying for characters. I want to see that you can play as the character before playing another.
-- There are some NPC's (non playable characters) and characters that are allowed to be played together. For example, Maleficent's raven would be played by Maleficent's character and Si and Am can be played together.
--If a character has been killed within the RPG, even if their player has left the site since then, they may NOT be reclaimed by someone else for the purposes of reviving them unless, and only unless, you can prove that you have the explicit permission of that character's previous player.
--Characters that are approved will have one month to post as that character IN AN RP. If you do not do so your application will be moved to the rejected pile and the character will go up for grabs again.
Play
--You cannot play as a character who hasn't been approved. Do not post until I have approved your application.
-- Please keep your posts longer than shorter. Give people a lot to work with!! At least one paragraph per post. NO ONE LINE POSTS.
--Those characters who have been dropped are still considered in the war. They just have been sort of...in the background so to speak.
--When starting a new RP thread PLEASE consult the timeline and say - either in the first post, or by PMing me - what date it's set on.
Other
--I don't want people coming on here, joining and advertising there site and then never coming back. As such the rule is you must post at least 25 times IN character before you are allowed to advertise. Whe advertising provide me a link with a recent thread you've rp'd in. This will not include current advertisements already up on the board.
-- Please keeps Signatures to 200 pixels high or less. That goes for the whole signature bar. Please also keep it to one sig image (that clearly does not mean the lovely combined images made by our members) but please don't stack like six sig images on top of one another, its quite distracting.
That being said: ENJOY! And remember this is for fun! XD
