Welcome to Thalia's Tree
Please read the rules carefully, and thoroughly to ensure you get a good grasp of the dos and don'ts of our little site. If you have any questions, please go to our chat box or PM Steph and she will help you.
Registering
All new members can create any species within the site, be it demi-god, human or centaur. However, new members cannot make a child of The Big Three right off the bat. In order to make one of these children, you must have at least £600 in your bank. You can get money by posting. Once you have reached this number, PM a staff member who will then give you a special application to fill out.
The world is ever expanding, and so should your character. Demi-gods don't always go to camp, so reflect this in your application if you do not want your demi-god to find out their godly heritage.
We all have faces in mind when coming to a roleplay site. Please make sure to check the face claim list, to make sure your desired celeb is free. We only accept well-known actors/actresses, models and musicians. If you have someone in mind and they aren't that well known ask a staff member for help.
Thalia's Tree have activity checks at the end of each calendar month. Please keep an eye on the announcement boards for these mandatory checks. If you haven't posted in the away boards, and a check is coming up, your character(s) will be moved to the inactive group, and their face claims and abilities will be available for other people. So, if you're going to be away please post in the away boards, so your character(s), claims etc are safe.
General
Respect is something required from all members of the site, from guests to staff members. Being friendly and welcoming to new and potential members gives the site a good reputation, and helps it grow. We do not tolerate any form of bullying on UWT. Bullying and harassment are taken very seriously here, and if found to be doing such things, action will be taken. You will get one warning, then after that, your account(s) will be either suspended or banned depending on the severity of your actions.
Underwater Tales is a no word count, no app site. However, we don't accept one-liners. Write as little or as much as you like, but have fun doing so.
This site is rated M/R/PG-13, swearing is ok, but keep it to rp forums and out of the chatbox. M rated rps must have a tag in the spoiler box, and to be read at viewer discretion. R rated roleplays MUST be discussed with an admin or mod first, before being posted. These posts will be password protected and only those involved with the roleplay will know said password.
Plagiarism and theft are taken seriously. People work hard on their graphics, codes and characters. Anyone caught claiming someone else's work as their own will be suspended for forty-eight hours, and if caught a second time will be banned.
Site events and group activities are mandatory. It's a great way to get to know other characters and have fun in the side plots. It also will increase your activity here on the site. If you need any help don't hesitate to contact a member of staff.
Roleplaying
Nobody is perfect and neither should your character. We all have our flaws, so incorporate that into your characters. Mary Sues are avoidable by making your characters seem more genuine. Everyone has their limits, so what is your character's? Do they have a fear of heights, maybe they have a learning disability? Your character is your blank canvas. If you have read the rules, please add the phrase Child of the Gods, into your application thread.
God-modding is a no go. This is controlling someone else's character without their strict permission. It also means you automatically block and attack others. Make it fair an avoid this.
Special Characters
These are Big Three demi-gods. Children of the Big Three will have an ability made by the player themselves, so it's completely unique. These characters are only available to those who have reached a total of £600. Money can be made via posting.
Graphics
Signatures should not exceed 500x200 pixels. Avatars are 200x200. Please make sure your graphics comply with these requirements.
C-Box
The c-box is located on the main page of the site. You can find it at the bottom of the page. Please don't swear or advertise in the chat. This chat is purely OOC, so please no RP in the chat.
Advertising
If you'd like to advertise, then please do so. All advertising boards are guest friendly.
