The Trottingham Asylum Rules for Roleplay
- Research is key. Don't be afraid to be like Twilight! The more reasearch you do for the mental illnesses you decide to give your characters, the better they'll be! I want to keep this forum as respectful to mental illnesses as possible. PLEASE do your research, and don't follow stereotypes. If you cannot decide a distinct mental illness, then you don't have to! You can just as easily list out your symptoms and leave it unnamed, we will allow that.
- No Godmodding. This one should be obvious, but I'll state it anyway! If you do not have permission to control or harm another person's character. Do not do it, doing so will get your warnings, and it is just so disrespectful to other people. Due to the setting, your character may have limitations placed on them for their own safety, as well as the safety of others, this includes:
-A magical inhibitor attached to unicorn's horns, these can only be removed by the medical staff, as unicorns suffering from certain illnesses have limited magical control.
-Pegasus wings are clipped, if you are at risk of attempting escape, your wings will be clipped. This will not ground you, but you will be unable to fly for long distances, and thus unable to escape. If your behavior is good, your wings will be allowed to heal, and you will be given supervised exercise time. - You are allowed to have more violent, grimdark themed characters, but please bear in mind that they are subject to limited permissions. You probably wont be allowed around the general population without a doctor to monitor you. And if you act out you are liable to be thrown into solitary confinement. Your actions will have consequences, and if your thread begins to get out of hand, a person RPing a doctor or security guard are allowed to jump in and stop it IC.
- To elaborate on the previous rule. Doctors and security guards have a slight level of no-consent abilities. If you see an altercation getting out of hand, your character can come in and attempt to mediate it. However, you still must ask permission before you do anything to another person's character (Such as subduing them, or doing anything to physically stop them), I will keep a close eye on this to make sure it isn't abused.
- You may play as many characters as you think you can handle, but, you must RP your character for at least a week before creating another one. This is to limit the potential for flooding of applications.
- You may choose any of the three main pony races: Pegasus, Earth pony, or Unicorn, just bear in mind the potential limitations placed on them. Your character will only require limitations if their condition can potentially cause them to be dangerous to themselves or others, or if they're prone to attempting escape.
- Each person will be allowed 2 non-pony species, such as: Griffons, Hippogriff, Bat-pony, and any hooved animal(like deer, goats, zebra, donkey, etc.). Absolutely NO Alicorns! While I have nothing against Alicorn OCs, they do not fit in with this world. Dragons will not be permitted either.
- Please put the word 'Chimmycherrychanga' at the end of your profile, so we know you've read the rules thoroughly!
