Please read these first, before asking a question, to make sure your question has not already been asked.
When you read the board's rules, please pay careful attention to #10 -- original characters will only be accepted once a player has established two well developed canon characters. If you have an original character in mind, please save the application until you have played two canon characters extensively. Administrator consent is also needed for original characters. If you are having trouble finding a canon character or are interested in one not listed in our registry, please contact a staff member for help.
* What's this board about? What are the rules?
Such a question can be answered, simply by looking in the very first forum, which is located at the TOP of the board. In there, you will find posted: Rules, Board Information, and Frequently Asked Questions.
* How large can my signature or avatar be?
After deliberation, the staff has elected to allow avatars, but not signatures for players accounts. Avatars must be 200 width by 200 in height. Anything larger will be resized by administrators, and if anything is smaller a request will be made for a change. If you yourself do not create your avatars, feel free to ask for a new one in the Testing Area, located in our OOC forum.
* Where can I talk about my character threads? Or how can I tell people about my character, or send invites to start roleplays?
If you wish to post requests for character meetings, stories, and other things relating to board plots, you may post in the Plot Discussion forum. Here, events and topics regarding boardwide plots will also be available for reading.
* How many characters can I have?
You may have up to three characters on the board, provided you play them all of equal value. Those that contribute more than their share of posting may be permitted a fourth character with administrator permission.
*What if I want to adopt a previously played character, but their name has already been used?
Your account does not need to be the same name as your character. Once you are registered, you can simply change the displayed name to that of the character you intend to adopt. If you wish to use the account anyway, please contact an administrator, who can switch the account over to your use.
* Is sex, violence, and swearing allowed on this board?
Sex, violence, swearing, and all that stuff are allowed on this board. However, for the sake of players who do not wish to read those things, please put MATURE, R, NC-17, or some kind of warning in the topic title.
* What celebrity avatar can I use?
There is a list in the Joining Forum that clearly states which avatars are already taken and in use and which ones may be reserved. If a celebrity is not on the list, that celebrity is free to be claimed or reserved. To reserve an avatar, simply reply to the thread with the name of your celebrity and your character.
* Are there class schedules?
No. Classes can be role-played whenever you like and you may join any lesson that suits you. You can start a thread that takes place in class, even if your character is a student. If there is a Professor for the subject you wish to roleplay in, and you want the Professor in your thread, please contact the professor’s player through PM or instant messenger to arrange a class.
* When does this board take place?
X-Men: Origins takes place roughly a year and a half or so after the events of X-Men: The Last Stand. Please read the board story for further information.[/size][/ul]
