Profile:
RP:On your application you must put an rp example with your character. The RP example is not only to know your rping strength but to see how much you know your character.

Common Courtesy:
Be Nice: I don't mind having enemies IN-CHARACTER but try to be courteous to your other players. If you have a complaint against a character then pm an administrator with a link to the thread. Don't take it personally if you're insulted in character.
Admins are law: Do not question their judgement. Do not ask to be one unless I ask for more. Enough said.
Respect everybody: Sex, race, hair-color, and age is not an issue. If you are disrespecting somebody and an administrator catches you you will be banned.
