1: Respect all members and staff, you not have to like them, just be friendly-ish.

2: Make a character profile for yourself before joining role-play threads, you do not need one for conversation threads.

3: Do not ask to be a member of Staff, the owner and already appointed staff will decide whether or not you’re worthy.

4: Follow the Rp rules, breaking them not only screws up the Rp it kills the fun for everyone else involved.

Role-play Rules/Guidelines:

GRAMMAR, PUNCTUATION & SPELLING:
Full stops (.), Commas (,), question marks (?), exclamation marks (!), and paragraphing are expected, we accept that not everyone spelling or grammar is brilliant we do however expect you to try!

KEEP TRACK OF POSTS:
Please read the previous posts in the thread and keep the flow of the thread going, ignoring other peoples posts ruins role-plays and kills peoples fun.

MINGLING/SPAMMING/SPEED RPING:
One Liners are not accepted in Rp threads, although you can post that way in conversation threads. One lined posts are considered Spam and will be deleted, Also Speed Role playing is not accepted and posts will be deleted if found speed Role-playing. Speed role-playing being characters whom post over and over again between themselves not allowing any other characters to join in and/or completely cutting them off.

STARTING AN RP THREAD:
You may not start an RP thread until you have:
-10 posts in other Role Plays
-A character profile on the 'welcome and introductions' thread
-No problems with your profile
-A user title.
-All the above checked? Good. Here's how to start an RP:

All RP threads are to have the following in front of the title (exactly as it is here): -RP-

If they do not, they will not be treated as RP threads by the management.

Also if you choose to start an RP thread, it must prompt a reply from other members and it must go along with the storyline of the cult. (see 'Plot Starters') If it doesn't, expect it to be locked and deleted very quickly.

Do be reasonable with topics. If you don't think that a certain thread is appropriate, then ask someone from the management for a 2nd opinion.

If we find a problem with a certain post/thread, it will be temporarily locked until the problem is solved. Don't take it personally. If your thread is very problematic, one staff member may lock it without consent of others. If you believe there is nothing wrong with your thread and you have followed all the rules then please contact the owner and we will discuss it.

PLOT STARTER POSTS:
Plot starters are those long descriptive posts that are used to control and move the flow of the thread's storyline along. You may call them the 'game master' posts. If you are not confident in your writing skills, do not make any of these as they must be written well enough to be clearly understood. They must also have a minimum length of 10-15 lines and must prompt a reply or an action from other RPers. Plot starters may be labelled in the subject with the word 'plot'.

If someone posts one of these, read it carefully and play along with it! Don't end it or destroy it for others by wrapping up the story in one short post where you get to save the day and everyone's happy as everyone will not be happy. The people who have worked hard at getting the plot to work will be very annoyed indeed.

STORYLINE IN A THREAD:
Just because you start a thread doesn't mean you get to control every little thing that happens in there. Good RP-ing and clever Plot Starters do that. If you wish to have say of what goes on in a thread; come up with an idea for it and take the idea further in a post that would move the topic along your way. Feel free to fight for your RP. Just do it in a civilised, proper way.

NO GODMODING!
You have only one character in a role-play and that character is your own. Do NOT attempt to dictate the thoughts or actions of another person's character without their prior permission. If you do happen acquire that person's permission, this should be stated OOC comment at the top of the post.

LOCKED THREADS:
If your thread was being troublesome for the cult members and was offending people, a staff member reserves the right to lock and after 24 hours delete the thread without consent from other staff.

In all other non extreme cases, a staff member will contact you/the people involved in the problem and then work it out from there, locking the thread as the problem is resolved.

Important Info

Legal Status of Supernatural Beings:

A few years before the beginning of the series, vampires had been granted limited human rights in the United States. This is apparently quite novel, and has resulted in a significant number of vampires travelling to the US. It has also caused many vampires to explore the possibility of living legally and openly.

Because of the difficulty in holding vampires, lycanthropes, or witches in prison pending trial, they are entitled to very little legal process. Once a judge is convinced that a supernatural being has committed capital crimes, he or she may issue a warrant of execution without trial.

Witches are executed within 48 hours of conviction of causing death by magic, without delay or appeal.

A number of supernatural actions are illegal or even capital crimes, including vampires using their hypnosis to "deep roll" a person against their will and lycanthropes infecting another person against their will or infecting a minor.

Discrimination against lycanthropes is theoretically illegal but common in practice, and many lycanthropes hide their status for that reason.

Terms

Master of the City
The Master of the City is the most powerful Vampire in the city and the ruler of the vampires who reside in the city. Each vampire is sworn by blood to the Master of the city to serve them. The only way to become master of the city is to kill the current one. In our case the Master of the city is Jean Claude who is an NPC.

Ulfric/Nimra/King
Each Lycanthrope race has a clan or group of fellow creatures ruled by the strongest of each creature whether they are Ulfric (Wolf ruler), Nimra (Leopard ruler) or King (Rat ruler). The Lycanthrope community is set up of dominants and submissive, the more powerful/ stronger lycanthrope being dominants and the weaker being submissive. The Rulers of each clan are NPC.

Cerulean Sins has a variety of creatures for you to choose from, we only ask that you refrain from using a character from the novel, ie Anita Blake, Jean Claude.

Characters from the novel are considered NPC and if they are to be used in the Rp it will be in one thread. If you wish to play an NPC character from the novel on the side please contact the staff.

Creature choices-

Vampires: In the Anita-verse you can be a vampire of various bloodlines descending from a number of powerful vampires. A list of bloodlines is included in the contenceEach bloodline has its own special ability but general vampire characteristics are as follows.

Super speed and strength, Hypnotise humans with their eyes/Telepathy, Fly.

Vampires are harmed by silver, holy items, stakes to the heart, fire and sunlight. These vampires do die at dawn and do not rise until 3 days after their death.

A vampire does not come to there full powers until they are above 3 hundred years old, human servants increase a vampires power. Age Limit: 1000

Human Servants: A human servant is the Human slave of a vampire. They join together by The Vampire Marks, 4th being the highest level of the Marks. A human servant is tied to their Master both mental and psychically. They inherit the strength of their master, heal quickly and are also immune to poisons and disease. They must do what ever their Masters command. They also die if they’re master dies.

Lycanthrope: There are several Lycanthrope Species ranging from Wolf, Leopard, Hyena, Rat, Fox and Lion. The wolf gene is the most contagious the others are less so. A lycanthrope is a mortal with enhanced strength, speed and hearing. They heal quickly unless attacked by Silver. The transformation of a Lycanthrope is painful and takes several minutes, followed by a long period of recovery depending on their transformation. For example if you transform along time before the full moon your recovery will take longer then if you transformed on the night of the full moon, which may leave you completely fine. Long periods of transformation may stop you from changing back completely. Lycanthropes can also command raw power, although whether they can use it to harm another it is unknown, it is used more as a warning of power.

Witches: The witches of the Anita-verse a bound heavily by religious rite. Their ability to cast spells and use magick relies on Runes and circle casting, although they can manipulate raw power in an attempt to curse someone. (May only be used once every 2 threads, if that.)

Psychics/clairvoyants/Empaths: Psychics and clairvoyants are humans with powerful telepathy. Psychic’s abilities are related with the mind, they can read your thoughts and project images into your head. Clairvoyant’s powers are related more with touch or tarot cards. They may use the cards to help them predict the future or sort out situations or pick up images when they come into direct contact with someone or thing. Empaths can feel another person’s emotions or project their own into someone else.

Pyrokinetics: Have the ability to create fire or shield themselves from flames with a thought, most Pyrokinetics have a habit of going mad and often commit suicide by burning themselves alive.

Animators: A people who have the power to raise Zombies using ritual that involves blood sacrifice. The longer the zombie is dead the bigger the death has to be. For example someone who is a week dead may be raised by a chicken, someone who is 20 years dead will need several chickens, 40 will need a goat and over 50 will need a human sacrifice. An animator can not raise a zombie till 3 days after the person has been dead.

Human: It is possible to be human without any magickal abilities if you desire.

Vampire Executioners: Vampire Executioners are licensed vampire hunters and also Federal Marshals. Although ordinary humans they are best left alone and avoided.

The Vampire Council/Bloodlines

The vampire council, a council of the most powerful vampires of the world, rules the Vampire world. The Mother of all the darkness, the first vampire who is currently in a coma, is the head of the council.

Each Member of the council is also the head of a bloodline. As head of the bloodline it is their power that allows vampire’s of their bloodline to rise at sunset and for their hearts to beat.

Each vampire has a bloodline, descending from a council member or another powerful vampire. Each bloodline has its own special ability. Members of the council are NPC.

The Vampire Council:

Belle Morte: (or "Beautiful Death") is a Vampire Council member and apparently personally responsible for the rise of "sexy vampires". Her abilities include the power to induce lust from a distance (extending to at least hundreds of people at a distance of miles), the ability to draw power from lust, and the ability to call all of the "great cats" (presumably lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, etc.). All members of Belle-Morte's bloodline tend to be selected for their beauty, and some of the vampires in her line are visited by the ardeur, becoming incubi or succubi that need to feed off of lust as well as blood, but able to also project the ardeur to control others. Belle-Morte can make mental contact with all new vampires of her bloodline, and can serve as a mental "bridge" between willing members of her bloodline. In some cases, Belle Morte has shown the power to actually "resculpt" the features of vampires in her bloodline, making them still more beautiful than when they were chosen

The Dragon: This female member of the Vampire Council is somewhat enigmatic. She is an old vampire who lived during the time of the Roman Empire She has the power to draw all of the energy from another vampire, killing it permanently. The Dragon can project her power.

Morte D'Amour: (Lover of death) is a rotting vampire with the ability to cause corruption with his bite, and all vampires with either ability appear to be of his bloodline.

Master of Beasts: (Padma) is originally Indian and wears a turban, He is one of the weaker members of the Vampire Council, whose power is the ability to "call" all animals, not just a single species. Using this power, Padma can bend animals and shapeshifters to his will, and can also use the power as if it were a shapeshifter's "beast" - forcing his power into another, controlling their shapeshifting, and even killing them.

The Traveller: It is unknown what the Traveller’s true name is. He has the ability to possess other vampire's bodies, though that vampire's consciousness is still awake. This seems to be limited only to vampires considerably weaker than him. He also has the ability to lend power to lesser vampires temporarily, bolstering their inherent strengths, and he can shield others from sensing him.

Non-Council Bloodlines:

Morvoren (Nemhain: Morvoren is a pale blond vampire described as beautiful but terrifying. Morvoren is well over a thousand years old. She is a nighthag and can generate and draw power from fear. Morvoren can walk in daylight, and is able to share this ability with other vampires. Morvoren can project fear over great distances, sometimes enough fear to kill. In some cases, mentioning her name will draw her attention and her fear. Morvoren was offered a seat on the council but refused, her true name is Nemhain

Jean Claude: The Master of the city of Saint Louis (our Master) was formerly a member of Belle Morte bloodline until he gained the power to rule his own. Like Belle he also possesses the ardour which allows him to draw power from lust. However Jean Claude main trait in the ability to call shadows to hide himself or confuse his foes.
