Writing In Character
To maintain immersive and engaging storytelling, members should:

- 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.
