New members MUST read these rules before roleplaying!
Golden Rule- This site is for entertainment, and is 100% fictional. That means it is for fun and fun only. It's not meant to portray the real behaviors of marine animals. So don't whine about how "detached from reality" it is. Doing so will earn you a warning.
1. No killing of other people's characters without permission.
2. Only oceanic fish, reptiles, and invertebrates allowed. This means no dolphins, sea birds, or land-based animals. No colony based animals (ie. Portuguese Man o' War) and no plankton.
3. Once you have a concept for a character, post it in the Character application topic for approval. After approval, you may begin roleplaying.
4. Make sure you make your roleplay topic in the correct area. There are eight different areas to play- I'm sure you can find the right one.
5. Please do NOT steal other people's characters or art of characters, on or off of the site, and claim them as your own. You MUST get permission from the owner of the work to be able to do this, and even then you must give credit to them where it's due. I will allow linking to photos unless the owner of the photo asks for it to be taken down.
6. Be respectful. If something happens in-character, don't get mad at the person out of character, or vice-versa.
7. ALL-CAPS, lolspek, etc. will not be tolerated in the roleplay. Try using bold, italics, or exclamation marks.
8. No Mary Sues. We don't want your character to have superpowers, or constantly jumping in to save the day. Try filling this out to see if your character is a sue.
9. Please keep your character in one roleplay at a time. No fish can be in two places at once.
10. If you would like a private roleplay, please put an asterisk after the topic title. Please don't be a jerk and join them either.
11. No mating. There are young kids that are on Blue and they don't need to be reading that kind of material. Birthing scenes are allowed though, granted that they aren't too graphic.
Please note- the rules may be updated any time. If they are, it is mandatory that you re-read it!
