1. THIS IS A HARRY POTTER-AU LITERATE ROLEPLAY. BY NO MEANS DO YOU HAVE TO BE AN EXPERT OR KNOWLEDGEABLE ON THE SERIES, BUT IT WILL HELP GREATLY.

2. WE ONLY ACCEPT FACECLAIMS AND MUNS THAT ARE DUE TO MATURE THEMES THAT MAY BE PRESENT. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE ALTERED THE ORIGINAL HOGWARTS AGES, YOU MAY NOT APPLY TO BE A FIRST YEAR. WE ACCEPT ASIAN AND INTERNATIONAL FACECLAIMS WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT THEY ARE ACTIVE IN THE INDUSTRY AND HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY SEVERE ONGOING SCANDALS.

3. YOU MAY NOT ALTER THE ETHNICITY OF YOUR FACECLAIM. THEY MAY BE BORN IN A COUNTRY DIFFERENT TO THEIR REAL-LIFE BIRTHPLACE, SPEAK DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, ETC., BUT MUST KEEP THEIR ORIGINAL ETHNICITY.

4. TRIGGERING TOPICS ARE ALLOWED WITHIN THIS ROLEPLAY WITHIN REASON. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU MAY CHOOSE TO WRITE A CHARACTER WITH A HISTORY OF FAMILY ISSUES, OR A PARTICULAR MENTAL ILLNESS. HOWEVER, YOU MUST MAKE SURE TO ADEQUATELY ATTACH TRIGGER WARNINGS TO POSTS AND BIOS WHERE THESE TOPICS ARISE, AND YOU MUST BE KNOWLEDGEABLE AND MATURE ENOUGH TO WRITE ABOUT THEM IN A REALISTIC AND RESPECTFUL MANNER. IF THE ADMIN TEAM OR MEMBERS OF THE ROLEPLAY FEEL YOU HAVE WRITTEN INAPPROPRIATELY ABOUT A SERIOUS TOPIC OR CANNOT HANDLE WRITING ABOUT IT, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO MODIFY ASPECTS OF YOUR CHARACTER.

5. WITH THAT IN MIND, YOU MAY NOT WRITE ABOUT ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TRIGGERING TOPICS: , IA, ANIMAL ABUSE, OR . SOME TOPICS SHOULD BE AVOIDED, BUT WE MAY UNDERSTAND IF CERTAIN MUNS STILL WISH TO INCLUDE THEM. THEREFORE, THE FOLLOWING TOPICS CANNOT BE WRITTEN ABOUT IN ANY EXPLICIT DETAIL (BUT MAY BE INCLUDED): SELF-HARM, ABUSE, SUICIDAL THOUGHTS. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU ARE NEVER OBLIGATED TO WRITE WITH SOMEONE.

6. ADDITIONALLY, ALL PUBLIC POSTS WITH ANY MATURE THEMES MUST HAVE THEM LISTED AT THE TOP. AND OTHER THEMES ARE ALLOWED IN PUBLIC THREADS (THOUGH WE ARE NOT INHERENTLY A ROLEPLAY) BUT MUST BE MARKED AS SUCH. IMAGES ARE NOT ALLOWED ANYWHERE IN PUBLIC. WE DO NOT HAVE A GROUP.

7. YOUR CHARACTERS UALITY IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU. HOWEVER, WE DO NOT ALLOW MUNS TO WRITE TRANSGENDER CHARACTERS UNLESS THEY CHOOSE A TRANSGENDER FACECLAIM AND CAN ACCURATELY AND NON-OFFENSIVELY PORTRAY THEM. WE WILL NOT ALLOW IZATION OF ANY FORM TO OCCUR AND WILL BE VERY STRICT ON THIS RULE.

8. THERE IS NO SET RELATIONSHIP BAN AS MUNS MAY CHOOSE TO WRITE PAST OR CURRENT WE ONLY ALLOW MARRIAGE BETWEEN FACULTY MEMBERS. NO PREGNANCY IS ALLOWED WITHIN THE ROLEPLAY.

9. UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE, ALL CHARACTERS STARTED IN FIRST YEAR. YOU MAY WRITE THREADS OR SELF-PARAS SET IN THE PAST.

10. ROLEPLAY CONVENTIONS APPLY; FACECHASING AND BUBBLE-ROLEPLAYING ARE PROHIBITED. IMPORTANTLY, GOD-MODDING AND META-GAMING MUST BE AVOIDED AT ALL TIMES. THE FANTASY AND MAGICAL ASPECT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO WRITE, SO WE ENCOURAGE OOC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TYPISTS WHILE WRITING.

11. PLOTTED IC DRAMA IS ALLOWED. OOC DRAMA IS PROHIBITED. PLEASE DO NOT MIX THE TWO. HOWEVER, IF ISSUES DO ARISE, PLEASE CONTACT ADMINS IN A GROUPCHAT. DO NOT BRING DRAMA FROM PREVIOUS ROLEPLAYS, GOSSIP ABOUT MUNS, OR INVOLVE CHARACTERS IN DRAMA WITHOUT THE MUNS CONSENT. OOC DRAMA IS A SERIOUS OFFENCE, AND ANY PERPETRATORS WILL BE REMOVED AND BLACKLISTED FROM THE ROLEPLAY REGARDLESS OF THE STRIKE SYSTEM. WE WANT AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE PEOPLE WHO LOVE FANTASY AND LOVE TO WRITE CAN COME TOGETHER WITHOUT PERSONAL DRAMA.

12. YOU MAY HAVE 2 CHARACTERS IN THE ROLEPLAY AT THIS POINT IN TIME. IF YOU’D LIKE A THIRD, PLEASE MESSAGE THE ADMINS TO DISCUSS. CHARACTERS CANNOT BE FROM THE SAME GROUP OR SAME HOUSE.

13. CHARACTER CHANGES AND RESETS ARE UNLIMITED WITH A 2 WEEK BETWEEN AFTER YOUR FIRST CHANGE. YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR MUSE’S BIOGRAPHY AND HOUSE WITH A CHARACTER RESET, AND MAY CHANGE EVERYTHING INCLUDING THEIR FACECLAIM WITH A CHARACTER CHANGE.

14. HIATUSES AND SEMI-HIATUSES ARE ALLOWED FOR A MONTH BUT ARE NOT BEING OFFERED AT THIS STAGE AS THE ROLEPLAY IS NEW.

15. WE DO NOT ALLOW CHARACTER HOGGING. OUR ACTIVITY STANDARDS INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE POST A WEEK (OF YOUR CHOOSING; SELF-PARA, A STARTER FOR A THREAD, OR A SOCIAL MEDIA POST) AND ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE ROLEPLAY FOR A WEEK, YOU MUST PRODUCE A TRACKING THREAD WITH AT LEAST ONE ONGOING THREAD OR PLOT AT ALL TIMES.

16. YOU WILL HAVE 72 HOURS TO PRODUCE AN INTRODUCTION UPON ARRIVAL AND A WEEK TO FINISH A BIO (OR A DRAFT) OF YOUR CHARACTER. PLEASE TRY AND COMMENT ON OTHER CHARACTER’S SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS AND DO NOT SELECTIVELY EMOJI.

17. IF YOU ARE REMOVED FOR INACTIVITY, YOU MUST WAIT THREE DAYS TO APPLY FOR THE SAME MUSE. SOMEONE WHO IS REMOVED FOR ACTIVITY THREE TIMES WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO APPLY UNLESS THEY SPEAK TO THE ADMINS.

18. HAVE FUN! IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THE UNIVERSE WORKS, THE OOC CHAT OR GROUP ARE A GREAT PLACE TO GO. MANY TYPISTS WILL BE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE UNIVERSE, AND THE AUTHOR OF THE ORIGINAL STORY HAS LEFT MANY PLOT HOLES AND ROOM FOR DISCUSSION. IF YOU DON’T KNOW SOMETHING, PLEASE DON’T HESITATE TO ASK!
