Rules and Guidelines

1. Respect already established canon.
	* Try to find a way for your character to fit within current canon.
	* Adding to canon is welcome and encouraged.
2. Destroying star systems, planets, landscapes, cities, or ecosystems must be discussed with the admin first.
3. Original characters are preferred, however you may make a canon character. We ask that you speak to the admin and submit an example of writing, such as a solo of how you will write that character.
4. Know what your character is going up against.
	* If you plan to attack a planet/person/stronghold we ask that you talk to that writer first.
	* Discuss plans before putting anything in motion. Everything does not have to be planned out. We just ask that you respect other writers.
5. If your character has strengths he/she also has weaknesses. We ask that characters are well balanced.
6. Build up to big events, if your character wants to amass an army, do it over time. That way, people have a chance to get in on the storyline.
7. Character Caps
	* Month one, you can only make one character.
	* After the first month you can make up to 15 characters total with a two week waiting period between each additional account. This way new accounts can get integrated into the group.
	* This does not include mass accounts such as "The Mandalorians" or "The First Order".
8. **No** Godmodding.
	* Godmodding is writing for another character. For example Jill's writer writes: "Jill smacked Jack right across the face so hard Jack fell backwards." Jill's writer is writing for Jack's writer. This is considered godmodding.
	* Having magical powers show up for a character that have not been previously established just to win a fight.
	* Characters who contain *any* cosmic power must be discussed with the admin prior to creating them.
9. No killing, crippling, maiming or permanent psychological damage to a character without the other writer's permission.
10. If an established storyline is happening, don't jump into the middle of a thread. If your character is nearby the others involved and you want to join in, talk to the writers first.
11. Timeline Banter.
	* It is strictly in character banter, if one character insults another don't take it personally. It's just RP.
	* All air tweets and quotes are not in the character's canon. Which means if Bob and Sue talk about killing Joe through timeline banter, that conversation never happened once they go to write a thread about it. Joe would not know that they are planning to kill him even if he saw the timeline banter.
12. Issues with other writers.
	* If you are having an issue with another writer resolve it by talking Out of Character (OOC) with them first. If it cannot be resolved that way, send a Direct Message to the Admin account with a screenshot of the issue.
	* Threats, Racist, and Derogatory out of character remarks are grounds for immediate banning from the group. For example, 'That's just plain retarded.' Retarded is a derogatory remark and we'd appreciate it not being used as well as some others.
13. Proper grammar is a requirement for this group. Aside from that, descriptive writing is welcome and encouraged! Simple writing is also welcome and encouraged if that is your preferred writing style.
14. Replies
	* Please be courteous to your other writers. If you know that you won't be present for 3 or more days, find a way to end your current thread so that characters don't remain storyline locked.
	* We understand things come up and sometimes people have to abruptly leave. We ask that you let the admins know if you are going to be gone for extended periods of time.
	* Timeskips are acceptable as long as you know where the thread will end up.
	* We ask that you string together tweets so that they don't clog up other writers timelines. If you don't know how, feel free to ask the admins.
15. Axios is a semi-linear roleplay group.
	* This means that your character can only be at one place at any time. However you can have side conversation, adventures with other characters that count towards character development. As long as it doesn't affect your current thread, or, you know where one thread will end up.
16. Any kind of face claim or avatar for an OC character is welcome, animated or real life.
	* Use appropriate pictures. No full on nudity.
	* We ask that you let the admins know who your FC is, so that we can keep a current list.
17. Respect the boundaries of other writers. If someone is clearly uncomfortable with something you're doing with your character, be it sexual, violent, or otherwise, stop. Conversely, if someone is making you uncomfortable, don’t be afraid to speak up, to them or to an admin.
18. Making your roleplay characters RP with each other is allowed.
	* Note: Don't use it to puff up your characters, i.e., one beating up another to brag about how strong the first one is.
19. You may RP whatever characters you like, regardless of gender. It's your character, have fun with it.
20. Please try and keep OOC tweeting off your character accounts. Make a writer if you have a lot to say. Real life updates, like letting people know you will be gone for a while is acceptable.
	* Please keep all Axios drama off both your character timelines and writer. We want this to be a fun place for people to RP. We don't want to exclude anyone or make anyone feel bad about his/herself.
	* Again, if there is an issue try and resolve it with that person first. Then if that doesn't work speak to an Admin.
