Rules & FAQ

Rules and General Conduct

- Don't be an ass. We're all here to have fun so try to play nice.
- We're LGBT friendly
- In case of OOC conflict mods will try to mediate and solve the issue, don't hesitate to contact a mod if you have a problem
- Don't god-mod or green-diamond other peoples' characters (aka taking too much liberty with narrating other peoples' characters without permission, especially in fight scenes)
- IC is not OOC, try not to let in-character drama and tension leak out into out of character interactions.
- Try to use decent grammar and spelling. No one needs to be a writer or should feel like they need to fulfill a certain quality to post here but make it readable.
- Please label your threads with the current Issue/Downtime number. It helps put threads in relation to each other and create bit more of a coherent larger picture. Specific dates are okay too but not required.
- Characters can be in more than one thread at a time, given that they don't take place at the same IC time.
- We have a system in place that allows everybody to change any post to show as any character (the little ? button in the top right of each post) in order to make handling several characters easier. This works on the honor system so don't abuse this.




FAQ

What is this place?
- We're a play-by-post freeform Roleplaying game set in the Marvel Universe.
- We use mainly Original Characters though canon chars do exist and show up occasionally. They're generally NPCs though.
- Set in the United Kingdom to put some distance between us and the usual canon setting. The time in current with a bit of the usual "5 Minutes in the future" as far as some technologies go
- In-game dates will be pointed out on the site banner and advancing the time-frame will be announced in OOC.


Account and Character Creation
- Your account name should be the name of your character. FirstName LastName or possibly their Codename if that's how they prefer to be called.
- Because we get about a hundred spam bots making accounts every day accounts have to be manually verified by a mod. To get into contact with us and let us know you want an account activated just hop into our Discord chat channel by clicking here.
- The focus is mutants but the occasional non-mutant might be approved on a case-by-case basis, expect a bit more scrutiny on the application if you chose to go this route.
- Don't go overboard with the number of powers or tragic back-stories. Some drama and pathos is good, just keep it within reason.
- More details can be found in the thread over here.


Setting at a Glance
- The setting is inspired by comic and movie canon but ultimately our own.
- When in doubt about a canon event feel free to ask.
- The Mutant Registration Act is currently in place in the US.
- Genosha exists as an island nation of mutants.
- We keep it somewhat ambiguous just how "divine" and supernatural the various gods and pantheons are. That's intentional and you'll probably find characters having wildly different opinions on this. The official word is that there's no definitive answer. Belasco's Limbo might literally be Hell or it might "just" be a pocket dimension full of demon-like creatures.
- The Astral is a plane of existence where the global consciousness takes shape. It's very metaphorical in nature and serves as a bridge to the supernatural. It can theoretically be accessed by anybody with telepathic or mystic abilities.
- More details can be found in the thread over here.
