Welcome to Notorious! In order to keep the site a pleasant place for everyone we have a few guidelines. Please take some time to look through them, because even if you choose not to they will be enforced.
1.) Treat everyone with respect and don't be a jerk. This includes people you don't like.
2.) Don't spam. This includes replies that contribute nothing to the topic (such as just xD), or responses that are just so far off topic that it looks like you posted in the wrong thread.
3.) If someone is doing something you don't like, or is breaking the rules, contact a staff member. We tend to trust our members, so we may not even know if someone is doing something you don't like, ICly or OOCly. Even if it's a minor thing, don't be afraid to bring it up to us privately.
4.) Don't post in any IC areas before your character is accepted. Posting in OOC areas before then is fine.
5.) There are two custom profile fields in the mini-profile: a link to the character profile and Played by. Please fill them out so people can easily find the character's profile and know who is playing that character. Link the civilian profile in the civilian account, and the post made in the Public Super Profiles on the super account.
6.) Follow the Proboards Terms of Service. This means keep everything safe for work, don't promote or do illegal things, and post in English.
1.) There is no word minimum or maximum. Post whatever you think is necessary to say what you want to say.
2.) Posts should have decent spelling and grammar and should not use chat speak. No one expects you to be perfect, your posts just need to be readable. This site is ESL friendly, and we're not huge sticklers, so just do your best.
3.) No godmoding. Your character is not all powerful and should not act that way.
4.) No power playing. Don't control other peoples' characters without their permission. As a note, when this happens in a thread we will often assume that the player got permission, so if they don't and you don't like it, be sure to complain.
5.) No metagaming. You should not use information you know OOCly in character if your character has no way of knowing that information.
6.) Liquid time is allowed. This means your characters can be in more than one thread at once.
7.) Private strategizing during battle can be done OOCly via PM or chat programs, or ICly via training flashbacks posted in a faction or team board.
8.) Notorious honors a post order. This means that in a thread with three or more people, everyone should post before people start posting again, and everyone should post in the same order. A person can be skipped at the discretion of the people in the thread, with five days being a more than reasonable amount of time to wait. Schemes and Event Battles are exempt from this rule due to having a more strict time limit on posting.
1.) No Mary Sues. Your character needs to be well-rounded and have flaws.
2.) There is no character limit, so feel free to play as many as you want. Just try to keep them all active.
3.) Each character should be on their own account, and a character's civilian identity and super identity should also be on separate accounts. The account's display name should be the character's name or super alias. If a character doesn't have a super identity (no powers for example), then a super account does not need to be made for them. If a character does not have a civilian identity (powers that make them look different, or simply makes no effort to hide their super identity), then they don't need a civilian account.
1.) Face claims are optional.
2.) Any images used should be drawn art, preferably in some kind of anime or comic style. Original art is not allowed unless it was drawn by you, or you commissioned it from an artist.
3.) If you would like to claim two characters, one for the civilian identity and one for the super identity, that's fine. Each profile has a separate field for face claims if you have one.
4.) All the graphics in your profile (avatars, signatures, etc) should be of your character, or in the case of super profiles, a symbol or something related to their super identity if there are no images of your face claim that would work well for it.
5.) All avatars will be resized to 150x150. If you don't want your image to drop in quality due to the resize, make sure they are 150x150.
6.) Signatures should not be any larger than 500x250. Don't add a massive wall of text in your signature either.
7.) All images must be safe for work, and must follow the Proboards Terms of Service.
8.) Don't steal or hotlink other peoples' images.
