Hey there!
Welcome to Celestial Tetrad - L.A. Angels! Our site is still shiney new so please bear with us while we finish up the species guides and such.
Mooshi is the one rare exception to these rules as she is playing a good majority of npcs to advance plots or tie off threads.
Yes, we are taking new characters and even npc's there are stricter rules with npc's however as they can be over used as a plot device. So, with that in mind, I'd like to lay out the differences.
1. An npc boosts a story. They are not THE story. They should never act like a player character or replace a player character in the action.
2. NPC's should not be used to hurt player characters. Simply put if ya really gotta get someone in rp man up and make a character to do it. Pulling out an npc to manipulate folks is just not cool and leads to bad feelings.
3. NPC's should be monitored if they are under the age of 14. Yes, I know its an arbitrary age but this is a site that follows the PG-13 rules. We can get shut down if someone is squickish about kids being in danger or a minor doing something illegal. Yes babies in danger and children in danger is a common theme on television but in rp its a very delicate balance. Be aware of this.
4. An npc is not god. They may have more powers but they have more flaws as well and should be treated as such. We all have baggage and powerful characters just have more than most.
5. If Proboards asks Charlie to pull a thread, chara or whatever as the admin she has to do it. No questions asked. This is not personal its just following rules so please make this site last for a while and follow the mandates set down by proboards.
6. If you notice you are playing an npc more than your regular chara talk to an admin about filling out an app and making an account for your npc. It helps us track board usage and can help you as well.
7. Be aware Mooshi is here playing NPCs as a favor to the admins of this site. Do not monopolize her time. None of us wishes her to burn out so be mindful of her time, the plots you've agreed to with her and thank her when you get a chance. She's doing all of us a favor and we appreciate it. (We love ya Mooshi! ♥)
