Role Playing Links and Rules

[Diverse Melody]

As this is a family friendly form, role plays here will be very strict. There are many, many role play sites out there that are not as strict so if you must role play more mature scenes, do it elsewhere. If you enjoy role playing, even if you like to keep things family friendly, you may want to join a role play site simply because those would probably be more fun to role play on then here, since they have more rp boards, shops, more people to rp with, etc.

Our specific rules are not up for debate. Even if you think such things are okay in role play, or even in real life, they should not be found here. The list is as follows:

Alcohol, Smoking, and Drugs
Regardless as to whether you think these things are okay in role play, or even okay in real life, these should not be included in any role play on I AM Eternal. Period.

Romance
This should no go any further than soft kissing. This should also only be in heterosexual couples. This is not open for debate or discussion.

Language
There should be none. Hell may be used if referring to the place, even if in role play it is a mythical place or it is unlike the real Hell. Hell should not be used as a curse word. Insults that do not include swear words are okay unless otherwise stated.

Violence
Keep this PG-13 or below. It should not include senseless violence or blood. It also should not be on the lighter side of PG-13.

Fantasy/Magic
This is okay, so long as it is fantasy based. Anything based heavily on the occult or other such matters is not allowed. You MAY role play as things such as vampires, witches, demons (realistic OR non-realistic, "good" demons,) and more. Just don't bring real world occultism into it.

The person who started the thread has control over any other rules. If they say no magic or no violence, do not post such things. If they say no power-playing, respect their wishes. If they say only two characters per person, do not make a third.

For simplicity, some people may want to create an additional thread for character profiles, settings, rules, etc. instead of having it in the same thread as the rp. This is perfectly fine. The only rule regarding this is that you may not have more than two threads per role play. If you want, you may make one thread be for one city in the role play, and the second for another. So long as there are no more than two threads per rp, you can use the threads for whatever you want. You may, however, start more than one rp. You may have a wolf rp, a fantasy creatures rp, a high school rp, and a elementals rp, but you may not have more than two threads for each.



How do I know what is and isn't allowed here?

Ask yourself a question. If Jesus were looking over my shoulder at this, what would he think? Remember that God is omniscient; that is, he knows everything. Humans were created to bring God glory. God is not being glorified if nasty things are being posted. But, what you post, so long as it isn't breaking the rules of this thread, is between you and God. If you post something you shouldn't, he is the one that ultimately will judge that. As a Christian, obey God and set an example for others.

If you have a role playing site you like, you may post the link in this thread and it will be added to this thread once approved. However, the sites must all be appropriate. They must have very little to no cursing, very little or no sexual references, etc. When posting a link, you need to include a rough idea of the site rating (G, PG, etc) and you need to include why it has such rating/if there is any questionable material in it. Once you post, a mod will check the link and see if it is appropriate. If it is, your post will be edited to say "approved" and the link posted here. If not, your post will be edited to say "rejected for (reason here)" and the link will be removed from your post.

There are plenty of role play directories out there. The purpose of this isn't so much getting people on your site as it is providing a clean environment for people to role play in. It is very hard to find a clean role play site. I try to find the cleanest I can that has some limits on cursing and suggestive themes, but to find one that has no questionable content like cursing and suggestive themes is nearly impossible. In fact, I only know of two like that. One of which I own, one I used to role play on.

Please be aware that forums that allow several different questionable content may be rejected, even if each is pretty mild. Think of it as a points system. Lots of small points add up, or a single big point can be bad as well.

If your post is accepted, your link will be put in this post and you may make a thread about it elsewhere on this site to discuss it if you like. If your forum is rejected, it may still be allowed for you to link to it elsewhere on the forum. The reason for allowing the link, but not in this thread, is because sites that have questionable content aren't necessarily bad. This thread is for those that have extremely little questionable material for those that do not wish to be on sites that contain more content.

If your forum is rejected and the mod says you may NOT post the link elsewhere on I AM Eternal, you cannot have the link anywhere, not even in your profile. If the link is caught anywhere on the site, a warning will be issued. Generally only really inappropriate forums are rejected in both ways.

Site links may be posted elsewhere on the forum without posting them here first, but they will still be checked for content.

If your site is approved, the posted will be left and your post will be the ad for it, so make sure you post the best ad in it! If your site is rejected, the post will be edited to have the reason why and will be left for one week. After that week, it will be deleted to keep this thread tidy and clean.

Ever Wanted to Role Play a Dinosaur?

Enter a World...

Beyond Your Wildest Dreams...

You see them today... Thier signs of thier previous life. You see thier bones, thier tracks, the signs they were here... but you know they are all gone. In Muesums they stay, gathering dust on their aged bones. They are no more; they can no longer walk upon this earth... Or are we mistaken?

Enter a world that Time forgot. A world that is not ruled by the hand of humans, but by the claws of great beasts. Enter a world you'll never forget...
Mighty beasts rule here. When they walk, the earth shakes. When they fight, the earth quakes. When they speak, all must hear. In this primitive land lives a not so primitive world of predator and prey. Thier name strikes fear and awe into all that hear it... the Dinosaurs.
The Dinosaurs of this world live life in peace, trying to survive as everyone else. They must rely on one another in order to survive, the circle of life playing strongly in thier world. Carnivore must hunt Herbivore to survive in the deadly game of survival. The question stands out in all minds, of those in Herbivores as well as Carnivores...

Have you ever wanted to run across the grasslands? To swim in the deepest ocean? To fly, up into the clouds, beyond the horizon? Have you ever wanted to do so as an animal? Maybe you want to be an eagle, soaring on the wind. Or a horse, wild and free, galloping over the earth. Perhaps a whale, swimming in the depths of the sea. Or maybe you would like to view life from the eyes of an insect, a creature so small it often passes by unnoticed. Maybe you are a house pet, taken from your family and hopelessly lost. Maybe even a dinosaur, stomping around in search of friends or food. Whatever you are, the lands of Amanija are open to all animals, big and small, wild and domestic.

In Vital Breath, the role player has complete freedom. All animals are playable from fish, to insects, to birds, to land animals, to pets, to dinosaurs, to prehistoric mammals and birds. Ever hated not being able to play a role play character after they die? You can play the animals that have passed on into the after life as well. Or maybe you just like the role play something different. Want to play a bossy butterfly who likes to live in the cold tundra with a pack of wolves? Go ahead! Thanks to the power of the Guardian spirits of Amanija, all animals have adjusted to living in all climates. And, thanks to the laws of equality, all kinds of animals can live in a group together called a herd.

These herds are like your typical clan, pack, pride, etc except all animals are welcome in them. Animals work together in herds and treat each other as family. Carnivores even learn to survive mostly off plants, though of course, they may hunt loner animals occasionally. In a herd, there is safety from predators, and, as no humans have ever come across the land of Amanija, animals can relax and be at peace.

With five clans, several herds in each clan, a vast land to explore, and complete freedom, Vital Breath is one of a kind. It is a place you can experience over and over again, yet never experience everything. Contests are occasionally held, and staff positions are open. With no posting minimums and no character limits, you'll never have to stress over a role play again.

So what are you waiting for? Come join the fun today!


~*New Site Plot*~

When the Guardians sense something coming and project their ghostly image on Amanija, they see a herd of rogues arriving. The herd receives many stares from the living and the Guardians alike, and for good reason. At the front of the herd stands a huge, old, reptile who calls itself a dinosaur. Behind it are several other odd animals, most of which are reptiles, a few are not. Out of the ocean beside where they stand appear several more odd creatures.

The Guardians are a bit worried, but curious and polite, welcoming them to the land, but also asking who they are and where they are from.

"We are from a distant land, one that no longer exists," the leader answers. "Our kind are thought extinct by many, but we have evaded fate by moving from place to place. We are a wandering herd, and we seek only peace. We have traveled for quite some time and would like to rest for a bit. If you will allow us, we will stay here. Rest assured, we will cause you no harm and we will not stay long."

The Guardians agreed to let them stay, and, naturally, the guests are bombarded by questions from curious animals. Other animals are afraid to go near them, as some of the "dinosaurs" are even larger than the elephants living in Amanija! Some of them are angry with the very thought of these outsiders staying. They claim the food supply will run low.

The dinosaurs explain that they only eat plants, even the ones with the large, sharp teeth, and they are not picky what kind of plants. The Guardians again agree, as there are plenty of plants in the land for the strange creatures.

Over time, the animals discover that the dinosaurs are actually quite friendly, and friendships form. Some of the dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures begin to want to stay, but this is rejected by some animals and some of the prehistoric as well.

Just when they are about to leave, the leader falls ill. The herd stays longer, waiting for their leader to recover. They keep waiting, but the dinosaur doesn't seem to be getting any better. One day, it becomes apparent that the reptile will die soon. Grieved, the herd stays with their leader until it's final hour. Later, the question on whether to leave or stay arises again. Strong bonds of friendship have been formed and no one really wants to leave. After several long talks, the herd decides to stay and the animals rejoice that they will not have to say goodbye to their dear friends.
