 Rules of New Genesis
« Thread Started on Oct 5, 2008, 10:59am »

The following are a brief list of rules and expectations for the members of New Genesis. Keep these in the back of your head during your time here and no one should have any problems requiring staff intervention. Also, somewhere in these rules is the codeword needed at the end of your character application for it to be considered.


  • No spamming: For lack of a better description, it just bugs. It's annoying, unnecessary, and won't be tolerated. Also, advertising outside of the Advertising Board will be deleted upon sight.

  • Go ahead and curse, but don't do it gratuitously or excessively because then you'll just appear uneducated and...well, stupid.

  • No adult content outside the Mature Boards.

  • Derogatory comments/terms/discussions about race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ect., will not be tolerated within the boards.

  • No Godmodding. I don’t care how powerful you think your character is. No one can dodge every hit, win every fight, control their opponents, and never succumb to exhaustion. It doesn't happen, fiction or not, so let's not pretend it does and not piss off other members. In addition to this, characters are not to be killed without the consent of the character’s creator and/or player.

  • Canon characters who are not currently alive in the DC Universe may not be played. Also, Canon characters currently alive in the DC Universe may not be permanently killed under any circumstances.

  • This site is meant for roleplayers of the intermediate to advanced caliber. As such, the average length of a roleplaying post must be no less than two five to six sentenced paragraphs long. This is the absolute minimum that will be enforced and repetitive defiance of this rule will result in a ban.


Character Rules


  • The two main points of the site are to promote individual creativity first, and do so whilst staying true to the DC Universe second. With this in mind, members are allowed to create custom characters that fit reasonably into the DC Universe. The maximum amount of characters any member may have is six, and of those six three may be custom and at least three must be canon. Members are not required to create a custom character if they choose not to and may fill all their six character slots with canon characters. However, if a member only wishes to have custom characters, they may not exceed the 'three custom' limit. If you'd like to have more than three custom characters, you will need to PM a request to Alpha.

  • A character bio must receive either two approvals from any members of the staff, or one approval from Alpha to be accepted.

  • No one person is to control two or more characters who are apart of the same faction, group, team or organization.

  • There are certain powers that have been deemed too powerful and vague and therefore are prohibited to be possessed by any Original Character on this site.


    • Super-speed: Meaning anything that allows a character to move near, at or faster than the speed of light.

    • Permanent Power Absorption and All forms of Power Negation: The ability to permanently absorb or negate the powers of others or strip others of their powers for any given amount of time is strictly prohibited. The Character Application codeword is Super Dino.

    • The Ability to Summon and Control Mystical and/or Magical Creatures/Demons/Angels and/or Permanently Raise the Dead

    • Complete and Total Magical Abilities: Like casting mystical spells and such… this gets really god-moddish and hard to control once it starts.

    • Immortality: All characters must be able to die, but immortality in terms of age and looks is fine.

    • Mind Reading, Paralysis, and/or Mind/Body Control: This is just about as God-Moddy as powers get.

    • Genie/Wish Powers: No. Just no.

    • Permanently pulling other characters into other universes and/or dimensions.

    • Copying the Looks/Abilities/Voice/Traits of another Character (IE: Shape-Shifters)

    • The ability to stop time: Time travel, however, is fine.

    • Elemental Control Spanning over One Element: Unless your powers have something to do with several elements, then there’s just no way.


Well that's just about it. If you have any questions, comments and/or concerns, then feel free to message them to me either by PM or Email.

Good Luck,
New Genesis
