RULE 01 / MEADHALL CHRONICLES  

ROLEPLAY &
CHARACTER

Guidelines for character creation, in-character conduct, player safety, and keeping roleplay separate from out-of-character conflict.

01

CHARACTER LORE

  • All players must post an initial character lore entry including backstory, personality, and appearance. Your character must fit within the lore of the current season.
  • Updates to your character's journey are optional, but encouraged.
  • Your character only knows information they could realistically have learned in-character. Information from Discord, player lore, or out-of-character conversations is not automatically known by your character.
02

IN-CHARACTER REQUIREMENTS

  • Stay in-character while in-game. Minor slip-ups happen, but players should make a reasonable effort to remain in-character during RP.
  • Voice chat is optional. Text roleplay is allowed, but you must be able to hear other players.
03

DARK RP

  • Dark roleplay is allowed only when all involved players have consented to the scenario.
  • Never force another player into dark RP.
04

HARASSMENT & SAFETY

  • Stalking, creepy behavior, or sexual harassment is not tolerated, whether in-character or out-of-character.
  • Erotic roleplay and sexual assault roleplay are strictly forbidden.
05

BLEEDING

Bleeding occurs when in-character events begin affecting your out-of-character emotions. It can happen to anyone and is not inherently a problem. The important part is recognizing it and addressing it before it turns into real conflict.

  • If you think you are bleeding, open a staff ticket. Staff are there to help you work through the situation.
  • In-character conflict should not affect your real-life interactions with other players.
  • Problems should be addressed through staff tickets rather than public chat.  
  • Positive or negative interactions toward your character are not automatically directed toward you as a player.
06

MAP MARKERS

  • You are not required to keep your map marker enabled.
  • Having your marker enabled signals that you are open to roleplay. It does not mean players may appear at your location without an in-character reason.
07

LETTERS & RAVENS

  • Players may send in-character letters through the designated Discord channel.
  • Only messages sent through the designated letter system are considered in-character. DMs and other Discord channels are not.
