.:::Frequently Asked Questions!:::.
K-Chan here~! Here are some basic questions that you'll probably have when joining this site!
1. Is this one of those fancy, paragraph style roleplays?
Yep~! No script or 'chat' roleplaying here, bub.
2. How much do I need to write per post?
That is up to the Roleplay Creator! Each board has different rules, so make sure to ask the person you're roleplaying with about what their standards are.
Safely, you can post at least 1 paragraph and be in the clear. Sometimes it's okay to slip up and post 2-3 sentences, but don't make it a habit!
3. Someone signed up as my character! Can I still play them?
You can play any character you like, regardless if they are "taken" or not.
Generally though, if the character you want to RP is already in a group RP, you need to pick a different character to do for that RP.
4. What if I want to do a... *cough* Hentai or Yaoi *cough* roleplay?
Perfectly allowed! However, the board creator needs to put the word [MATURE] in the board title so people know that it's dirty. If this is not done and I fund smut in your board, I will politely contact the board creator and ask them to label it correctly.
Also, in the first post you want to put a warning that says 'WARNING: Sexual Content'
5. Can I talk about graphic gore...? Y'know, blood, guts, organs...
Yes, but again, put the word MATURE in the title of the board so people know. In your first post, you want to put something that says 'WARNING: Gore'
6. My character is under 18. Is it still OK for them to be in sexual circumstances?
While I personally find it distasteful, it is just electronic text and therefore you're doing no harm.
However, no child pornography (even if it's anime-style) is allowed on this site, so please do not post sexual images of characters under 18 years of age.
If you want to do a Loli (Little Girl) or Shota (Little Boy) romance roleplay, please put MATURE in the title and put a warning in the first post that says 'WARNING: Shotacon/Lolicon'
7. I'm inactive for long periods of time, but I still want to RP. What do I do?
Make sure to tell all your roleplay partners how long you will be gone for. If you will be gone for a long period of time (such as a week) then maybe they can find a way to make your character 'disappear' for a little while until you come back, so the roleplay can still go on if others are involved.
In terms of private roleplay, make sure to just alert your RP partner to your absence so they are not left wondering where you went.
8. I don't get it. Why do I have to claim 3 characters?
You are not 'claiming them'. They are just the 3 characters you like to roleplay the most. This is so other's know who to RP for you. <3
