Welcome to Blue Sky Action!
Claims
Please read all of the information before posting. Once you've read everything, you may make a face claim. Only celebrities, athletes, public figures, etc. Absolutely no animals, anime, cartoons, or yourself. This is a Greek mythological character personified, alternate universe roleplay. Therefore, along with a face claim, you need to claim a Greek mythological character. If you want to claim a God or Goddess outside of the Greeks (for instance, Roman) feel free to do so. Just let me know. Also, you may be a human from this realm if you prefer not to be a mythological character.
I wasn't sure where to smoothly place this -- but sexuality is not important. All sexualities are accepted and welcomed here.
Only one character is allowed per account.
If you no longer want a face claim or persona, post in "Abandoned" so that we all know.
If you are inactive for more than 7 days, without a legitimate save, your character will be considered abandoned.
Character Development
Once you've claimed a face or persona, you have two days to register and create a character page. You can do whatever you want with this. It can be as long, or as short, as you want it to be. Make it elaborate or plain, there is no set template for this, and you do not need to use the one I have provided. But, you need to post something. There will not be any in character interaction in those boards. It is simply a way for those unfamiliar with your character to gain some insight on him or her.
After you've created a character page, you should create a shipping/plotting page. This can act as a more in depth wanted ad with specific storylines you want for certain characters. You can either have one shipping thread for all of your characters, or a separate thread per line or per character. That is entirely up to you. Shipping pages are purely out of character.
Gossip
This board is for anonymous/guest only. Absolutely nothing posted in character. Furthermore, I will not tolerate any out of character bullying. If the thread starts to get objectively out of control, I will either ban the person from Gossip (if I can track them down through their IP) or shut the thread down for a week. That being said, I do not expect (or want) rainbows and sunshine in this thread. It is meant to be dirty and mean. However, I do not want one real person, rather than character, to be targeted. This is meant to be in-character, so if it becomes blatantly clear that the thread is being used to bully a person rather than a fictional character that is being roleplayed, then necessary action will be taken to stop that.
Roleplaying
Before posting in character, I ask that you have an avatar (200x200) and signature (500 max width). Just do not stretch the page.
On this board, all levels of roleplayers are welcome.
We do not have an official word count here, just match your fellow roleplayer. Discuss ahead of time to be sure.
If I see too many one-liners I will implement a 50 word count minimum.
You can swear, bicker, etc. Just please do not be overly vulgar and aggressive.
Remember, the Twelve Olympians are the rulers here. Zeus has supreme power. Although no god-modding is allowed, the Zeus character (with my permission, and your permission) may punish your character or call to order a meeting with the gods to discuss your punishment.
Also, as per ProBoards rules, no sex scenes.
I am not looking for mythological accuracy, but try and read up a bit on your persona so you're not entirely in the dark.
That being said - try not to take inaccuracies too seriously on here. This is all just for fun.
Do not give another roleplayer grief for straying from a myth. There are polite ways to inform/correct someone. Use them.
Out of Character
I have had many issues on past boards with bullying. I will not tolerate it. If you bully a member on the board, expect to be banned. I have a zero tolerance, one strike, policy. Of course, I will be fair and hear out both sides, but if it is found out that you're making another roleplayer's life hell, then you are not welcome here.
Merry roleplaying, everyone!
