Rules

Crescent Rise may be a dark setting, but we want to have a place where people know they're listened to OOCly and know they're safe! As a result, rules are taken seriously and must be followed.

''' Not Knowing Something Was A Rule Does Not Excuse Breaking The Rule. '''

Strike System
Crescent Rise operates on a Strike System. For breaking rules, you are given strikes. For trying to loophole the system, you are given strikes. If you gain three strikes (or if you break certain rules for the first time), you are banned from the group. If you are banned, you must wait at minimum three months (or longer, depending on offenses) before applying again.

Certain bans do not have a chance for you to return.

You will always be told when you receive a strike, and you will always be told by one of the admin, along with why you received the strike. If the strike does not come from an admin, it is NOT official, and please report it to us ASAP.

OOC Rules
No homophobia, racism, etc.

If someone is uncomfortable with what you're saying, stop saying it!

Public blacklisting of group members is not allowed. If you don't want to write with someone, that's fine, but you cannot put the member on blast before the rest of the group.

There are no activity checks for most characters. Organization leaders and other important characters do require activity checks.

Godmoding and metagaming is not allowed. If you have concerns of someone doing so, please contact a staff member with proof immediately.

If you think someone has copied your character, bring it to staff privately. Accidents happen!

We do not promote witch hunting.

Please do not pressure other people to ship with your characters. Romance is fun, but if you push people to plot romance with you, it is going to result in a warning from staff.

CR is a mature roleplay setting, meaning Rpers must be 18+. However, we do not allow explicit sexual content to be submitted to the group. If you RP smut, that's fine, but the adult bits must be removed for the RP to be sent to the group.

We allow the exploration of dark topics for the sake of character development and writer improvement. We do not allow it for fetish reasons or simple drama, and you must clear particularly dark subject with your writing partner, and attach an appropriate warning to all pieces, written or drawn, that invoke these things.

Character Rules
Please keep in mind the organization you want to join when you have your character approach it or you create your character to join it. While rebels can be fun within an organization, when it becomes every character in the org... not so much.

While player characters can earn substantial power, all characters start on the same level (with SOME exception).

Universal skills are considered 'extra' things that all characters have access to. You may choose THREE to give your character during creation. Learning how to shoot? A Universal Skill. Driving? An innate skill you don't have to claim. Think of Universal Skills as the difference between 'I know how to swing a punch' and 'I know how to properly form a fist so I don't get hurt'.
