§1 - Respectful
You always need to keep a respectful tone on World of Mystic Falls - both in the topics, as well as in mails, the chat, and posts. Bullying in topics is, therefore, also not allowed, unless arranged by all involved parts with everyone keeping a realistic attitude towards the situation.
§2 - NPCs
It is not allowed to roleplay as other characters than one's own user. You can keep NPCs (Non-Playing Character) as supporting characters. Supporting character is a person or creature with a minor role that can be controlled by everyone within the topic. For instance, a bartender, taxi driver and more. These needs to be viewed from the point of your own character. You can only roleplay as another person, when the Event team specifically offers you a role in an ongoing plot, in which case you need to disclose this in an OOC message when you enter the topic. NPCs and other roles can't be other users from the website or persons from the series.
§3 - Forbidden subjects
Alcohol is allowed as a subject, but drugs and self-harm is not allowed.
§4 - Illegal activities
Any encouragement towards illegal activities are prohibited pursuant to European laws.
§5 - Realistic
One needs to be realistic as a character, both on the profile, in topics and elsewhere. This means that it is not allowed to be a Banshee or an Alpha and so on without having the status to be so. If you want to read more about this, read the Statuses page in the Guidelines.
The character can have a persona, but it can't be exaggerated, as in for instance saying that the character can lift 1000 kg or that the character walks in air and the like.
Vampires cannot walk in the sunlight without a daylight ring and werewolves cannot shift at will without a moonlight ring.
§6 - Bought age-ups
You can buy an age up for your character, but as a vampire, you cannot be older than the Original Vampire (Jacalyn Berry - 880 years old). As a hybrid, you cannot be older than the Original Hybrid (Matthew Lakefield - 649 years old). Keep in mind that witches and werewolves are mortal and mostly age like humans.
