Rules of the AU Role Play!

[★IVY]

Let's begin with an explanation of what the heck this board even is, shall we~?

This board is dedicated entirely to small-scale RPs that have no connection whatsoever to Accademia Mondiale. What is considered a small-scale RP? RPs that only need one thread to run. So nothing too major, kay? Kay. Anything that happens in AU RP, stays in AU RP. In other words, like previously mentioned, Anything that happens here, whether it be your character dying, having a child, or whatever cracktastic adventure your character decides to go on, it is NOT related to what happens in Accademia Mondiale. And also vice versa. Nothing that happens in Accademia Mondiale needs to affect your character in here. What does that mean? Say your character is dating Hong Kong. Your character does not need to be in a relationship with Hong Kong here. It's perfectly okay if you date someone else, while in the AU RP area. Just make sure it stays there, kay? Kay.

Might as well explain the rules of this handy little board, eh?

1. The original rules posted in the Rules thread still apply here. You are allowed to add on rules, but for the most part, the rules of Accademia Mondiale also apply to this board. There are a few exceptions, so if you have questions, feel free to PM me, Ivy.

2. You are welcome to join any RP, or start your own, as long as you are registered on this site. Doesn't mean you gotta be active in the Accademia Mondiale RP, but it'd be nice.

3. Please indicate whether your thread is Public or Private/Open or Closed in you subject line.

4. Any RP style is perfectly acceptable. Script or paragraph, it's all cool here.

5. Everything MUST be PG-13. Anything over is against Proboards TOS. This is also posted in the main site's rules, but I wanted to make sure you know. No graphic displays of affection, and no graphic displays of violence. Please. We have children here, people.

6. ALL RPs must be within the Hetalia-Verse. *COUGHnickthatmeansyouCOUGH*

7. You may sign up for characters that are not yours in an AU RP.

So, what's the difference between Public/Private and Open/Closed?

[/u][/center]

An open or public RP, since they practically mean the same thing, is an RP that is open to everyone. This means anyone can join. Awesome, right? A Private RP, on the other hand, is an RP only intended for certain people. Others are not allowed to join. You can still watch and follow the RP, though, like the creepy stalkers I know you all are. And Finally, a closed RP is an RP that is no longer accepting new characters. If your RP is private, there is no need to put "Closed" in the subject line. That is only required for Public RPs.

So how does one set up their own AU RP? Are there guidelines?

Indeed there are!
