- Roleplay does not equal real life -
Do not mix ooc or real life with RP. If my character flirts with you, is mean to you, etc- It's 'Him' not 'Me' and it shouldn't affect you at all oocly. If it does then maybe you wanna make an actual character and not play as yourself.

- Please be literate -
If you can't form proper sentances, don't bother rping with me. I'd like to see more than one line in a post at the least. If I see unnecessary abbreviations, chatspeak, etc- I'm pretty much done. I pretty much try to match the flow of the other RPers around me in terms of post-length, but there is such a thing as too short.

- Keep OOC out of RP rooms -
Especially any OOC drama- this should be kept in PCs. Problem with me or my character? Please PC me instead. I really dislike when roleplay rooms become filled with ooc chatter because it breaks the mood/setting and whatnot.

- Believable characters are the best -
If your character is immortal, has a ton of crazy awesome powers, is a mixbreed between more than two or three species, or anything else I can't think of at the moment that screams noobish character, don't bother RPing with me. There needs to be some realism, even if it is fantasy realism.

- Ask yourself why- often -
My advice to go along with realistic characters.. Try not to make them a certain way for no reason or just because you want to. Ask yourself why they are that way. Ask why for nearly everything, come up with answers that seem plausible in reality and you'll have yourself a much more likeable character, in my opinion. No one wants to RP with mary sues/stus.

- Finish what you start -
One thing I truly hate is rping with someone that suddenly leaves with no explaination. Even worse when they leave simply to have their character avoid something such as being attacked and fighting. If you don't want your character to die, stay in NKZ or talk with the others in a PC about it. Don't leave people hanging, when you leave a RP for selfish reasons you are wasting the time of those that have been responding to you.

- Be considerate -
Some characters have traits that they simply cannot turn off and might affect others around them. A good example is my half-incubus Vhei. Women around him are drawn to him and it is unrealistic for them to magically be unaffected (Save for a few specific exceptions). However this is forcing others to comply in a sense, so it is polite to check with those in the room before bringing these types of characters in.

- Do your research -
If you are going to play a certain race/class/etc, you might want to do a little research before winging it. Some creatures, such as vampires, have so many lores and stories that there is no one right way to play them. Others may not be that way. This goes for time periods as well if the RP room is requesting it.
