^{►You should read this before applying for a character.
►This is meant to be taken to heart and keyboard.
►Any questions should be asked in the [FAQ].}


.001 ► This is a Pan-Fandom RP and should be treated as so. Characters from Movies, Video Games, Cartoons, Animes, Mangas, and ETC. are fine, Real Life celebrities are not.

.002 ► OOC =/= IC. Even if you find yourself in an awkward situation in which you are not certain how your character would react, try to keep it as close to their original personality. In other words, if your character is an innocent, happy go-lucky teen, then they certainly won't try to seduce X-Character into submission. Chances are that they'd rather ask nicely, eh?

.003 ► Stay active. At the end of every two months, we will have an Activity Check. If you fail to respond to the Activity Check, you will be removed from the RP.

.004 ► No OOC drama. If you have a grudge with one of the players, make sure that grudge stays out of the game. Just suck it up and make it work. You're not going to have both your characters start a war with each other just because you and that player do not get along well. Just don't interact with them if you can't handle your problems maturely. If the moderators think you and another player are having OOC drama and taking it into the RP, we will contact you and take proper action.

.005 ► No breaking the fourth wall. No, just no. We get it, it can be hilarious sometimes, but go somewhere else to do that.

.006 ► Take into account your own free time. Once again, stay active. Real life can get hectic sometimes and if you can barely keep up with one character, what makes you think that you can keep up with three? It is for this reason that moderators can deny you a second and third character based on your activity.

.007 ► God-Moding = NO. Each time someone God-Modes, the Host stabs a puppy; so for the sake of the puppies, do not God-Mode. Any player caught God-Moding will be contacted by a moderator and proper action will be taken.

.008 ► The current character limit is seven. Currently, you may reserve and claim up to seven (7) characters. After you claim your seventh you will not be able to claim an eighth. This may change later on.
[Rule updated on Sunday, September 07, 2008.]

.009 ► NC-17 logs must be Friend-Locked. As we wish to respect LJ's rules we ask of our members to please make all their NC-17 logs Friend-Locked. This includes logs with excessive gore and other disturbing scenes (yes, we do mean it).

.010 ► No discrimination, please and thank you. We allow het, yaoi, and yuri here. If it's canon for your character to make a discriminating comment ICly, then that's alright. However, anyone caught making such comments will be contacted by a mod.

.011 ► No OCs. This is a Pan-Fandom RP, we do not need any original characters here at the moment.

.012 ► Respect your mods and fellow roleplayers. We do not expect you to get along with everyone here, nor to follow everything we say like mindless zombies; but, please, stay calm and collected. This is an RP, we are here to have fun, not start a huge flame war.

.013 ► Do not use action tags. Remember, your characters are communicating through laptops. No microphones, no webcams; just plain old text and a forum filled with poor, unfortunate souls.
[Rule added on Sunday, September 07, 2008.]

.014 ► OOC shenanigans are fun, but should not get more attention than IC posts. Yes, we understand that posting in the CAPSLOCK comm where you can be as cracky as you want and get away with it is fun. But, when such posts get over 100 comments (and that's a generous amount compared to what we've seen) and good, well written IC posts get a mere 10-30 comments... Well, we have a problem.
[Rule added on Tuesday, December 23, 2008.]

.015 ► Only three characters from a single fandom per players. Yes, we know that, sometimes, playing multiple characters from the same fandom and doing selfcest (read: when a player plays with themselves) can be fun, but it is not allowed. The characters that you choose to play from the same fandom cannot be ones that would interact with each other constantly (or at all, if it can be helped).
[Rule added on Thursday, January 29, 2009.]

.016 ► Interact with characters outside your fandom! It can sometimes be scary, not knowing how your characters will react, we know. But, please try to interact with people outside of your fandoms. This helps prevent cliques, and encourages activity. Knowing that only your cast mates will reply to your entries kills muses, and we wouldn't want that to happen, right?
[Rule added on Thursday, January 29, 2009.]

.017 ► In the case that any rules are broken, any offenses shall be dealt with with a 'three strikes' policy. For your first offense, you will be contacted by a mod and given a formal warning. No harm done, especially if you take care to address any issues satisfactorily. Second offense, you get another warning, and will be temporarily banned from the comm for a week. For your third, and final, offense, you will be banned from the community.
[Rule added on Friday, February 13, 2009.]

.018 ► The only language to be used in posts and comments is English. Yes, the majority of the characters all speak a different language, but for the sake of interaction, please refrain from posting or commenting in any language other than English.
[Rule added on Friday, February 13, 2009.]

.019 ► No sparkly text or images in posts. At this point in time, the laptops your characters have only have access to the journal system.
[Rule added on Wednesday, February 25, 2009.]

.020 ► No playercest. Playercest is when one player plays multiple characters that interact with each other.
[Rule added on Friday, February 27, 2009.]


• Most of these rules, as you can see, are the pretty much the same you see in any other RP. Still, we're glad you took the time to read them. To let us know that you have read these rules and agree to follow all of them, please include The Host is... (with filling in your own word(s) in the place of '...') in your subject line when applying.

^{►A breakdown of the plot.}


You wake up feeling slightly disoriented, and for a moment, you're not entirely sure of who you are or where you are. All that you are aware of is the splitting headache you seem to be experiencing and the fact that the room is spinning (or maybe that's just you?). You pay no heed to the voice that seems to be coming from the invisible intercom system as you--

Wait.

That's right, now you remember! You're the hero who's saved the world, or the mass murderer who's killed thousands. You're even the normal high school student who's struggling to get a passing grade. But, if that's so, what's going on?

You are now in Enlever Town, trapped inside the Town's borders and this cursed 'vacation' from hell. The more you try to escape, the more amused will your hosts become, and the town will become equally as dangerous.

You're not in charge of your own lives anymore, you are now someone's toy. You are not happy with that, and so, can you unravel the dark secrets behind this town, or will you remain here for the rest of your life?


"...Enjoy your vacation, and remember~ You are just a number and a face. ♥"

^{►Location maps and descriptions.}


Ravis Seur
<sup>Upon being accepted, each character will receive an ID and room number (EXAMPLE: ID65167). The last three digits of your ID is your room number (in this case, room 167).

Like any normal Hotel, odd numbers to the left, even numbers to the right.

The Ravis Seur has two elevators, and one set of stairs. However, characters should be careful while using either. Things are so terribly frightful in the dark, should something unfortunate happen.</sup>

Enlever Town
<sup>Currently, your character is only able to access the areas of the town depicted in this map, unless stated otherwise. However, as the game progresses, more areas will be added and, eventually, your character will be able to enter the Forest.

Hidden Doors and Trap Doors will be locked to all characters until a certain community event happens, fake alleys will look like a normal alley to everyone, and have a certain aura about them that causes your character to keep away from them. All locked areas will be open to characters after a certain event.</sup>

^{►Non-Playable Characters you will find in the game.}



✩THE HOST
^{He or She is never seen, never heard, never spoken of. They merely are. They rule over Enlever with a iron fist, and it is said that all those who have seen them in person have never come back to tell the tale. While it isn't confirmed yet, it is said that this person is the one who brought you here; simply because they were getting bored.}

✩THE MANAGER
^{To put it in simple terms, she is the Host's right hand. She knows every nook and cranny of Enlever. She knows what your characters has eaten, how many they have breathed, who they've talked to and when, and every single thing your character has done in their pathetic mortal life. Currently, it has been confirmed that the Manager is in the progress of training an apprentice, but the reasons as to why have yet to be discovered.}

✩THE APPRENTICE
<sup>Not much is known about the apprentice, but while his motives and sexuality might be questionable, he's probably the only ally you have the this place.

...But the again, this might be just another one of the Host's tricks.</sup>

✩DARKNESS
^{An unknown creature which appeared during a rather unfortunate occasion. Those who have seen it have reported that this creature has the form of a small girl shrouded in shadows, some even going as far as to say that this thing has no eyes.}

✩CIVILIANS
<sup>When asked, they will all tell you the same thing.

"Oh? Are you not happy, do you not enjoy your vacation~? Host wants you to enjoy your vacation."

If your character is brave enough to approach one, they may notice the fact that their face are completely blurred, making it impossible to see their identity. However, you can't help but to shake the feeling that you've seen them before.</sup>

✩HOTEL STAFF
^{Either brain-washed or very well paid, most of the Ravis Seur staff seems completely elated to lurk around the hotel, watching your every move almost as if they were assigned to report your behavior to someone. As if Enlever wasn't creepy enough as it is, the hotel staff all look the same, act the same, and say the same thing. Don't worry if your character gets annoyed and accidentally snaps their neck, another staff member will be more than happy to drag the body away and take their place.}

H O W . T O . P O S T
^{►Posting rules.}



✩JOURNALS
<sup>Most of the time, your character will not be posting directly into their journal, instead, all 'journal' type entries will be posted into the main community.

We require that you tag your entry with your character's full name. Also, we ask that you include your character's first name, or nickname, into the subject line.

An example of a Journal entry would be this:

SUBJECT: 001 - CHARACTER NAME
ENTRY: Content goes here.
TAGS: CHARACTER NAME</sup>

✩LOGS
<sup>Logs are a little bit different, as they are done in third person, include more than one person, and have a different content. Just like the logs, we require that you tag your entry. However, you may put whatever you'd like in the subject line.

An example of a log entry would be this:

Who: CHARACTER {ACCOUNT}, CHARACTER {ACCOUNT}
Where: PLACE.
When: HOUR, TIME OF DAY, ETC...
Summary: WHAT HAPPENS IN THE LOG.
Rating: G -- NC-17
Status: In-Progress -- Complete

(LJ CUT)</sup>

✩NOTES
^{Notes have no requirements, unlike Journals and Logs, you do not have to tag your entries. Notes are only little snippets, things that people would usually put in notes or scrapbooks. Such as newspaper cut-outs, pages from books, and others.}

E V E N T S
^{►A description of events, and how they work.}


✩ACTIVITY EVENTS
^{An activity event is an event that happens every two months, it is mandatory for every character to participate, as they will be used to check up how many players are active. [More information in F.A.Q]}

✩COMMUNITY EVENT
^{Community events can happen from every three days to every three months. They are random and will affect every single character in the game. It can be either good, or bad. Either way, it (probably) won't help make your character happier.}

✩SPECIAL EVENTS
^{Especial events may either affect the whole community, or a single character. They will happen every time a condition is met.}

Please direct all questions to the F.A.Q.

K E E P . I N . M I N D ! !

^{►If you have a question that isn't answered here, you are more than welcome to ask. We don't bite. ♥}


----

.001 ► So... Where are we?
^{You are in Enlever Town, your character has been abducted and taken to this world for a 'vacation'. However, this 'vacation' is anything but pleasant.}

.002 ► Can my character die?
^{Yes. But please be aware that your kind 'hosts' are not particularly glad when their guests die. Currently, when your character dies, they should wake up in bed within the next twenty-four hours, however, this may change.}

.003 ► What's outside Enlever Town?
^{Nothing. But why would you want to know when you can stay in the lovely Ravis Seur, before and after curfew? ♥}

.004 ► What's this about a curfew?
^{All characters in the game are affected by a curfew, you see. Enlever Town does not have a sky, the only thing similar to it being a white dome you can see when you look up. However, at a certain hour everyday, all the lights will fade, leaving everyone outside in complete darkness}

.005 ► Can I have my character be stuck outside after curfew?
^{Sure, why not? Knock yourself out.}

.006 ► You mentioned the characters living in a Hotel, what is it?
^{The Ravis Seur Hotel, it's haunted and not all that safer than outside after curfew. ♥}

.007 ► Can I invite another character to my Hotel room?
^{Yes. But please be aware, that once you invite another character to your room they can enter whenever they please, even if your character isn't in at the moment.}

.008 ► Can my character and another share rooms?
^{Sure. I don't see why not.}

.009 ► LET'S CAUSE RANDOM CHAOS!!
^{Go ahead, however, be aware that whatever you do might not amuse your hosts.}

.010 ► Can we have the same character, but from a different fandom? Like, say... Cloud from FVII and Kingdom Hearts?
^{No. You must decide from which fandom you're going to bring them from.}

.011 ► You mentioned something about watering their powers down, what does this mean?
^{Well, let's say that your character can read people's minds, this power would be watered down to an extent where all your character can do is occasionaly hear a murmur or two. However, in the case of a character that can breath fire, or bend something to their will, they will be stripped of that power.
Currently, due to recent events, all characters have 25% of their powers back.}

.012 ► What's the difference between Logs and Journals?
<sup>Logs: This is where the actual roleplaying comes in. Most of this is done over AIM, or some other instant message service (though, some people have been known to RP right into the log community). It is all usually done in Third-Person.

Journals are the 'eyes' of your character. Similar to how we use our own journals, actually. This is posted straight into the main community.</sup>

.013 ► My character isn't exactly 'social'...
^{No worries! As long as you make journals, notes, logs and reply to comments once in a while, you're good.}

.013 ► My character has a 'spirit' or 'alter-ego' inside of them, would that be considered the same character, or another one entirely?
^{They would be considered two separate characters.}

.014 ► I don't have one of the requested IM services, will that be a problem?
^{Not at all. IM roleplay is optional, and there's nothing you can't do on an IM service that you can't do by posting directly on the community.}

.015 ► If the character I want to apply for has been mentioned, but never seen, can I still apply for them?
^{Yes, you may (because saying otherwise would make me a hypocrite). As long as said character does exist, I see no problem. (Example: Uchiha Shisui from Naruto.)}

.016 ► If a character drops, can I say that they left?
<sup>When this situation occurs, you are presented with two options. You may have your character forget them if they had no major impact on them, or you may allow your character to keep chunks of their memories with the character that has dropped.

However, please do note that if said character is taken once again, you need to discuss it with the new mun.</sup>

.017 ► ...You have a soundtrack?
^{Yes, yes we do.}

.018 ► An application that was submitted after mine was accepted while mine hasn't, did you forget mine?
^{No, I didn't. This is done on purpose, since please do keep in mind that I am only one person and am not savvy to all fandoms. If your application hasn't been reviewed yet and others have, it just means that I'm still researching your character.}

.019 ► I've recently changed my email/aim/main account/whatever, how do I notify you guys?
^{Just comment on the Taken Characters page with the changes, and be sure to tell us what character(s) it affects and from which fandom they are.}

.020 ► I'm sorry, but when are you going to review my app? It was submitted days ago!
^{We're terribly sorry, but applications are, normally, reviewed on Friday - Sunday.}

.021 ► I can't tag my entries!
^{As of November 22nd, 2008 all entry tags are moderated. Try using your character's full name to tag, and if that doesn't work, please see this entry.}
