Signing Up
Please register using your character's first and last names. Anything else is unacceptable and your account will be deleted.
Also, once you have signed up please head over to your profile and change your name (e.g. janesmith) so that it has correct grammar and spacing (e.g. Jane Smith). Do not submit your character application form before changing this, your character will not be sorted until this is rectified.
As a Member
Once you join it is important that you realise that this is an unrated site. This means there will be violence, cursing and other things. Despite this there is a warning system which you must use, marking threads with the appropriate tag in the title. Information on tagging can be found here.
Respect everyone on the site.
Don't join, create a character, and then leave. This isn't much fun for the other members of the site. Be active. If you're going to be away for a while you can tell us here.
As a Character
One character per account. Each person may have as many characters as they feel they can keep active, but each character must have a seperate account.
When making a character give them flaws, give them weaknesses, don't make them amazingly beautiful. Give them spots, scars, yellow teeth, something that is not conventionally beautiful in our society. Basically, no Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus.
Only wizards and witches allowed. No were-wolves or veelas or anything like that.
Roleplaying
There is a post minimum of five lines.
The posting format is third person, past tense. Such as:
Dom entered the Hufflepuff common room cautiously. His ears were alert, seeking for any hint of sound coming from the corners of the room that he could not see. However, the only thing he could hear was his own breathing. He was panting a little after scurrying back from the Prefects’ bathroom. His older sister, Kerry, was a Prefect and it was she who had given him permission to take a bath in the Prefects’ bathroom. The only problem was that he had been so relaxed in the warm, soapy water that he’d fallen asleep. And by the time he awoke it was way past curfew, so he’d had to hurry back, carefully avoiding Filch and Mrs Norris.
He sighed and shook his damp hair from his eyes. ‘That was lucky!’ He thought. It was only then that he realised that someone was standing at the bottom of the stairs that led to the dormitories.

Do not place * or - around actions or spoken words. This is a forum roleplay, write as if you are writing a book.
The "word you need" = eclipse
Don't post in annoying colours that are hard to read. Preferably don't post in any colour whatsoever, but if you absolutely must then please use a nice colour.
No God-moding, which means don't take control of another persons character.
Correct grammar and spelling is a must. If you're having trouble just ask for help or use spell check.
Avatars and Signatures
Images in avatars must be no larger than 100 x 100.
Images may also be used in signatures. But they must not be overly large or stretch the board. If your signature is too large you will be told to remove/adjust it by the admin.
