Rules

To make this musebox work, there are some basic rules. Anything you don't find here is very likely to be found under FAQs and if you're still at a loss, feel free to drop a question there.

No Drama: IC drama within the musebox is not only possible, but likely and supposed to be a lot of fun. However, we want to keep the out of character drama to a limit. So try to talk about problems when they arise and if there is something you're not sure how to solve, approach a mod and we'll try to help. No flame wars or anything of the kind will be tolerated, so please come to us before it can get that far.

IC is not OOC: Meaning that if a character is a real dick to yours, that doesn't mean the writer behind them isn't the sweetest person in the world. If you for some reason take real offense to something a character says or does, just inform the writer in question and work something out.

No Godmodding: Don't assume things about other characters without checking with the writer behind them first. Especially if you are writing a fight, it's encouraged to actually plot it out with the other people involved. Basically, just don't write other people's characters for them. If you are after a specific plot, then plot. Don't force it.

No Perfect Characters: Unless you are Aslan which you're not (and even he isn't perfect). Let your character lose once in a while, don't assume everyone has to fall in love with your character and so on. Imperfect characters are much more approachable, anyway.

Character Limit: To keep things fair to everyone there is a character limit of FIVE characters per player. Please respect this cap and your fellow RPers!

Activity Requirements: You can come and go as you please with your characters. There is no need to worry about activity. Just play as the mood strikes you and have fun.

Age Restriction: Due to the nature of the musebox taking place in a war-ridden world and how there will likely be sexual situations as well - we're not in Kansas anymore - you have to be at least 16 to apply. Appropriate warnings should be placed on each entry.

Shipping: We're fine with you shipping whoever with whoever, or whatever with whatever. Just make sure to put up the appropriate warnings when things get heated or fade to black and take it somewhere else. If you have a problem with a ship someone else plays, then avoid them as much as you can. However, this musebox isn't just about shipping, so don't just join for shipping purposes or force a ship on anyone.

PBs: Narnia is a strange world, that pulls in people from other worlds and that in general is rather weird. Having two people that look the same is hardly the most shocking turn of events. Decide for yourself whether your character takes it in stride or is freaked out at seeing someone else with their face. Optionally, just ignore if it happens, especially if the same PB is from different movies, for example, and doesn't look that much alike.

Plots: There will be optional events organized by the mods or players and other elements that you can interact with or pass on as we stir the game into different directions. If you have ideas for plots, comment here.

Character Death: First of all, we don't want that to be a frequent occurrence, but of course it can happen, especially in a game like this. In such a case, comment here and after one week, your character will live again, with Aslan having breathed life back into them. It is very likely that this comes with consequences, rewards or punishment from the Lion, we will inform you of that in reply to your comment there.

Journals: More on the journals and a picture of how they look can be found here. Basically it works much the same as the devices that are usual in other games, it's just classier and magical.

Log Threads: Use this format to set up logs:
Who: What characters are involved?
Where?: Castle, forest, mountain... The setting!
When?: Particularly important when in relation to any events, or else just say whether it's day or night.
What?: A short summary of what's going on.
Warnings: Any warnings about what happens, language, violence, sex... Try to remember to update this as the thread goes on.
Open/Locked to: Can other characters come by or have you planned this for just yourself and certain others?

Permissions and Optional Character Information: Not required, but it might help others out to better understand your character or to have a permission form they can check on your journal. In case your character needs specific permissions due to what they can do, this is especially important. Go here for all your permission needs.

HMD: Again, not required, but having a post set up where others can give you constructive criticism might be helpful for all involved. Remember to only give constructive criticism to others as well. Here is the How's my Narnia? post where you can help the mods out by giving feedback and suggestions about the musebox.
