Writing In Character



To maintain immersive and engaging storytelling, members should:




  • Write only for their assigned characters.

  • Avoid "Metagaming" – using out-of-character knowledge for in-game advantage.

  • Refrain from "God Syndrome" or "Super-heroism"; stick to the abilities and traits your character has.

  • Cursing and some graphic descriptions are permitted, but detailed graphic content should stop just short of full explicitness.





In-Character Consequences




  • Characters’ actions may have consequences, and staff may guide certain outcomes for story development.

  • Not every in-character action should succeed to keep the narrative compelling.





Department Coordination




  • Department Heads and players in supervisory roles should coordinate writing with subordinates and NPCs as necessary.

  • Staff will assist department heads and any interested members with these tasks.





Posting Guidelines




  • Include location and timeline information in all posts, keeping it consistent with the general storyline to allow fluid interaction and avoid bottlenecks.
