!! Rules !!
Out-of-character rules
✫ 01 Respect
That's about the most important rule out of this list. Please respect the staff and also the other members like you. We don't tolerate bad-mouthing, WYGIWYG (What you give is what you get)after all.
✫ 02 Conduct
Though this rule is quite similar to the respecting rule, I figured it would be important to add it as well. Please act the way you were like people to act towards you. Don't flame, troll or any kind of similar behaviors.
✫ 03 TOS
No sexual contend at all, maybe a little chest or bottom showing in a picture is okay but complete hentai pictures are not okay. This rule also extends to role playing posts. No sexual language we don't tolerate it in any shape or form.
✫ 04 Patience
While we generally accept applications in less than 24 hours, please don't flame or fill our PM after 2 hours of your application being submitted. You wouldn't want me to just skim over and be done right? We love reading apps and getting to know the character listed so please...be patient.
✫ 05 Outside World
Please don't bring in sadness when you step in here. No one needs to know what your boyfriend did to you or how your girlfriend treated you wrong. Most of us really don't care, I don't want to break it to you directly so please...just don't.
✫ 06 Spamming
This rule also goes for the chatbox, you can not spam at all. Unless your thread has been left alone for 1 week then you are allowed to "bump" it and nothing else. Do not bump after 2 hours demanding a response.
✫ 07 Addition
This section will be updated as we go along.

in-character rules
✫ 01 Accounts
Similar to most role playing websites, BC revolves around account per character. You are to maintain a main account along with all other character accounts needed.
✫ 02 Proper Writing
Please don't ignore the red squiggly line that appears underneath a misspelled word guys. Please.
✫ 03 Godmodding/Powerplay etc...
The perfect aspect of your character is completely irrelevant to me. No matter how strong he/she is, there is no way he/she is possibly able to defeat the leaders of the Academies so don't bother trying. It's really not fair and honestly, not attractive either.
✫ 04 Post Etiquette
There should be an order to your thread. A post order, meaning Gary goes after Mary who goes after Sue then Gary goes then Mary then Sue, do you see the pattern? This is to keep order here in BC, it keeps the story flowing a lot better since one's movement can not be contradicted with another's.
✫ 05 Verb Tense
In a role-play we only accept Third Person and Past Tense. So "She walked to the grocery store" instead of "I'm walking to the grocery store" simple right?
✫ 06 OOC
To post an OOC though in the middle of an RP, simple encircle the thought in {....} or [....] or even (...) You are free to double those symbols if you would like.
✫ 07 Dialogue
These guys should be contained in quotation marks "..." instead of asterisks. Nothing else can be used for dialogue.
✫ 08 Length
Bestiary Contend does not have a word count simply give enough that your partner is able to reply with.
✫ 09 Color
Please color your character's dialogue as it's easier to look at. Feel free to bold them if you'd like. For thoughts, simply italicize them.
✫ 10 Expectations
Here in BC, you work for everything you have. Absolutely nothing is simply handed to you. You earn them either by completing Quests, winning contests or even participating. Earning Jewels here is not hard at all.
✫ 11 Romance
Personally I'm a sucker for romance, I can not watch an anime that doesn't have romance to a certain degree. With that being said, don't expect love to blossom during the first day. This process takes a certain amount of time, think of it logically and it should make sense. Spend time and drag it out, don't forget to add several conflicts in the middle to test the bond you two currently share.
✫ 11 Romance Extra
Do not expect your character to love you simply because it's you. First of all, your personalities should match, don't expect to say a certain sentence and automatically have the one responding be positive about it. Certain things you should watch out for, think of your partner and what exactly can be said and what can not.
✫ 12 Player Knowledge Is Always Separate From Character Knowledge
Do not expose information written in an application during a role play, that's just wrong and it's meant to be hidden for a reason right?
✫ 13 Additions
Will be added as we go along.
