Active Character Rules
In order to play a character on the forums, you must have either played them at the last game you attended or have approval from the Character Guides.
Forum Role-Play Rules
1: Characters that have been vetted by a character guide to post but have not checked in at an event do not have an official character sheet. Therefore, they cannot use any powers.
2: Only "Self" powers (Gauntlet Walk, shapeshifting etc) may be used on the Ushaw Moor RP boards. Shifter faction shapeshifting, and the Form of Beasts and Form of War powers may be used to represent creatures other than normal and war forms. You may represent these forms on the boards and via online RP, but they cannot be played in person due to the inability to physically represent something not-humanoid.
3: Any other form of powers can be used, but the outcome of those effects are fully at the discretion of the defender/target of the power (for example, defending players can resist mentals with their willpower without consideration for other potential willpower use that same day). There can still be no permanent character sheet changes from forum roleplay.
4: No changes of any kind can occur to anyone's character sheet on any these forums. Special events will not supersede this rule.
5: Don't dictate the actions of or post on behalf of any character that does not belong to you.
6: You can't have two characters that you are playing in the same thread.
Forum Role-Play and Character Knowledge
Unless you have indicated in some way that your character is present in a scene, your character can't know what's going on in the forum roleplay. Even the open forums. They are open so anyone can participate, but if you're not there, you're...not there. The forum rules allow for self-only powers in all forums. If your character has Cloak, you have to post your character into the scene using Cloak. You never know who can see through it.
Forum Archiving
After every game, the roleplay threads in the Seaton Carew forum will be archived to the "Roleplay Archive" forum. We will keep one set of archived threads from before the previous game.
