We here at Fallen Heroes are a low-pressure, no word-count RP site. Our main goal is for you to have fun here! These rules exist so everyone can get along - but we'll try to keep them short and not too overbearing.
BEHAVIOR RULES
I hope that wasn't too long....please enjoy the website!

BEHAVIOR RULES
- We are not asking that you be kind to everyone. We are not asking that you be friends with everyone. However, we do ask that you are - at the very least - polite to everyone on the site, regardless of age, gender, sexuality, race, any mental disabilities, appearance, and role-play skill level.
- You don't have to RESPECT the staff members - we understand that respect is earned, not given out freely - but we do require that you respect their decisions. Staffies, same goes for you - you're not better than the regular staff members. Don't treat them like they're underlings.
- Don't gossip about other people or talk behind other people's back. Period. We are VERY strict about this.
- Try not to get into fights. I understand, things happen, and people just get rubbed the wrong way. But fighting isn't fun for anyone. Please, try not to.
- If you do see anyone fighting, please, don't take sides. Don't try to stop it in front of everyone. It will just humiliate the people in the argument further. PM them if you have to and tell them to calm down...or report it to a staff member.
- I understand that people have problems. In the OOC forums, you're allowed to talk about cutting or drinking problems or eating disorders and such. And your characters can have problems with cutting or drinking problems or eating disorders and such. But please don't go into graphic detail, because it might trigger the relapse of someone else. Also, your characters can get down and dirty, but please FADE TO BLACK. Nobody wants to read that stuff.
- Finally, I do not care what kind of day you had at school. I do not care if your mom is sick or if your dad is in jail or if you are depressed. You have NO REASON to break the above rules - or any rules on the list - and you will not be punished any less, no matter what your excuse is.
CHARACTER AND ROLEPLAY RULES - We have no WC, but please try to match what the other person posted. You know when you send people a three-page text message and they reply "k?" You don't want to be like that.
- We accept people of all skill levels onto Fallen Heroes. We just ask that you do your best when it comes to grammar. If you think you need help learning how to roleplay, feel free to ask. And don't be ashamed about it - everyone was a newbie once!
- We ask that, when RPing, you post in third person, present tense. It makes it so much easier if you do. If you think you might struggle with that, ask someone to help you RP.
- Some people like the one-account-per-character system, and some people like the one-account-for-all-characters system. We're okay with either you like better - we have a number of people doing both. (By the way, if you use the one-account-per-character system, you're still allowed a OOC account, if you wish to have one.)
- NO MARY-SUES WHEN IT COMES TO CHARACTERS. Give them flaws. And give them lots. Overflawed is better than perfect. Chocolate is not a flaw. A weakness, maybe, but not a flaw.
- We don't like to have to ban character types, so please keep the amount of types - and the amount of males and females - in check. We will ban if we have to, so use common sense. Also, if you want a non-District person... well, we MIGHT open up some Capitol character positions at the start of each Games.
- You can have a picture to accompany your character - however, this doesn't have to be a celebrity, it can also be an anime character or an unknown person.
- Please don't roleplay your character's own BF/GF. If you do, it's like you're RPing with yourself, and where's the fun in that?
- We have no limit on how many characters you're allowed to have. You can have one, or you can have nineteen. However, we do ask that you keep every one of your characters active.
GENERAL RULES - Follow proboards TOS, please.
- No theft. At all. Art theft, original writing theft, character theft, whatever...just don't. (Also, changing it and passing it off as your own is STILL theft.)
- We don't have any requirement for the size of your images, just please don't strech the page. Be reasonable.
- If you have any suggestions or think the rules are unreasonable, then PLEASE don't hesitate to tell us!
I hope that wasn't too long....please enjoy the website!
