Please read the launch project first! This contains details on rules, and a detailed list of triggers. First, Rules. 1: Species Submissions - All species must have a realistic appearance - I recommend taking inspiration from speculative evolution, and various real-world animals. + The above statement doesn't extend to ultra-rare (frequently renamed to mutation, divine, etc.) traits. These traits can be very unique, and unrealistic to a degree. Mineral deposits/Crystalized Structures/Etc. are allowed, however, unless your species is fully mechanical or biomechanical, floating parts are prohibited within the ARPG. - When submitting a species, if they have any specialized traits to them - such as a highly specialized immune system for dealing with foreign, oddly behaving diseases, as the Kaidrond have, please list them! + There's a limit to the above example in species. This is due to a canon character who we will not yet name. ++ Said canon character is VERY IMPORTANT to the plot. - Aside from that, go ahead and go absolutely ham with your species submissions! 2: Character Submissions - If your character is disabled in any way, you absolutely MUST research their disability. + unless you have actual personal experience - Such as me with Delta, my character for the ARPG, whom Delta has difficulty socializing AND seasonal depression, both of which I have in the real world. - You also must research the abilities of your species. Unless your character is a human, which is allowed. + For example, if my character was, say, a Grey Fox, I'd research the behavior and capabilities of a Grey Fox. - Please draw/write your character accordingly to their bio! 3: Trading - Trading of listed characters within the group is allowed, HOWEVER, please don't scam others! If you're no longer attached to a character, you may also gift them to someone else. - Follow a characters tentative when offering for them! If a character says NFO, they aren't for trade, so don't offer for them! 4: IRP general - When starting a thread, if it's within the main group, please state which group your character is from! - Completed threads will grant Crystals, depending on how well-written each character was during the thread! - You also don't have to Roleplay to get rewards! You may make gift art, or draw your own character to gain Crystals! You can also simply write. - Hate the character, not the roleplayer! - Only group staff may play NPCs. 5: OORP general - Absolutely no form of OORP Ableism, Racism, Transphobia, etc. is tolerated. You'll get an automatic kick from the ARPG if you write any of the following OORP. - More TBA 6: Art and Writing - NO AI. None. Not in images, not in writing.
Triggers: - Within the IRP zone of the ARPG, there MAY be: Ableism, Racism, Transphobia, Etc. As stated above, this is NOT tolerated OORP. And must be maintained IRP. - Blood, Gore, Mutation, Infection, Etc. WILL occur in the ARPG. If these make you uncomfortable, then DO NOT PARTICIPATE. - Anthropomorphic Animals. I need not say more, do I? Anthropomorphic. Animals. - I can almost 100% guarantee Body Horror. Please don't partake if any of the following make you uncomfortable: + Parasites + Way too many eyes/No eyes + Additional limbs in odd places + Loss of self + Decay + Death - This is a 12+ ARPG. You MUST be of the age 12 or above to join. Do not lie about your age to partake. This is to protect you. - There will NOT be anything off-site. Everything will be here, on Scratch. If anyone claims to be me and is hosting a website for the ARPG, then BLOCK and IGNORE. That website likely contains a virus.
