Role Play Biography Story Rules (New Players Read)

[alwayzbored114]

So, after somewhere around a Month of checking and approving Role Play Bios, me and AkureiMusume have found many inconsistent and repetitive story lines. We have decided that from now on, these types of stories will not be allowed. These include the following:

• No having a story that involves being an Orphan. We have at least 10 Bios with that story line a week. Is having Parents really that bad?
  
  
• No Goal of Vengeance being the primary aspect of your character. Not only is this often used, but it only gives your character one purpose, and once that is achieved, there is nothing more for you to do....
  
  
• When naming your character, do not use real words, like Blade, Stone, Gold/Iron/Diamond, etc. Not only is this not a real name, but it is semi-unoriginal. One way to get around this is to come up with a Item-Based-Name, then run it through Google Translate (Most people use Italian, Latin, German, and/or French) Find something that rolls off the tongue, but make sure it is not to long. This Rule is Void for all Dwarven people, since they tend to have names based off items. Just make sure you mention in your Bio about you being Dwarven
  
  
• NO interjecting yourself into crucial Historical Events in Central Mirugan (The Continent/Area the actual physical Server encompasses). You can make up complete events in made up countries and lands, but if it involves any place or person on the server, check with the leader of said area or the person you which to mention
  
  
• No Super-High-Tech things. We are a mostly Medieval Based world, with the exception of various Red Stone contraptions. This means no Guns, Planes, etc.
  
  
• No using outside/well known sources and names. Nothing from Games, Movies, other Minecraft people (israphel, etc), and more. You can BASE things off of something else, but make it original.
  
  
• No Saying "ZOMG IM DA BESTEST [Insert Here] IN DA WORLD! I WILL SAVE YOU ALL FROM ISRAPHEL". If you WISH to be the best whatever in the world, start your character out small. Start as a, for example, Mage in training, and if your good enough, over time (months, not days), you can become a Head Master or something.
  

You don't have to have an epic action story. If you are just a normal person with high hopes and dreams, that is completely fine, and actually preferred. As long as your story details your characters Name, Past, and some details and interesting writing, You will be approved. Dont think a small story of a normal person won't get passed, because in actuality, it usually passes easier than the Try-Hard "IMMA DA BESTEST" stories.

Good Luck, and Happy RPing

Thank you alwayz, so much, oh so much.

Anything you wish to add? I was Semi-Brain-Blocked at the end

[Orman Grandclaw]

It may be good to put down some laws about grammar usage to prevent the great writers from turning in their graves.

[alwayzbored114]

The usage of Good Grammar is just common sense. I shouldn't have to tell them. If they are too stupid to take their Bios seriously enough to read it over a few times BEFORE posting it, then they arn't even worth helping

[Orman Grandclaw]

True but this basic skill seems to be beyond a large number of these new bio writers.

[Rei.Blackwind]

LoL! Yay for us being in agreement! I sent Alwayz a PM and was like ENOUGH! Can we agree on this? And he's like. Done! Bam bishes!

[deltajesus]

I think the ten bios with orphans a week should be corrected to ten a day.

Yeah it's more like 5 a day. So.... yeah......

Added a Rule on making names

[pajosftw]

Speaking of grammar, *inject, not interject.

[pajosftw]

An interjection is a word such as "Hey!", "Oh!", or "Ow!"

[Alcemere/Leonardo]

I know my bio describes me as a super vengeful person and all, but just to let you all know Alcemere is just twisted person who just wanted something to distract him from being so lonely. But now that he has Logan and TJ (Soon Mackenzie Heinzer) he doesn't worry about that crap that much anymore.

[piwii999]

I only have one problem with this post and it is very small

the one with the interjections is it all right if you where actually there at the time as long as you don't over power yourself in the event. I agree with everything else and I'm re-doing my bio to be a more... personal story rather than a overview of my whole life

[deltajesus]

If you are part of the official history of the event then there shouldn't be an issue, Aku's participation in the battle of Rull for example, but if you were just watching it ooc then obviously you can't write yourself into it.

EDIT: Also alwayz I don't think the dwarven names thing is completely fair, if you're saying people can't use a certain type of name because it's not original enough then shouldn't the same apply to dwarven characters who's names aren't original?
