general rules

zero) HETALIA! is a mixture of canon and non-canon elements. we allow members to play canon nations if they so desire, but they also have the freedom to make the nations from the series custom at their own leisure. it is simply up to the roleplayer to decide what he or she wants to do with their characters, and overall just have fun!

one) please respect all members and staff at all times. feuds should be kept off the site and cbox. bring that stuff to places where no one can hear it, like pms and instant messenger.

two) because proboards is a pretty faulty and preteen forum host, please don't go above pg-13. you may wonder why - especially considering how proboards itself is hardly even worth the time and effort, especially with all the censorship and now the sudden captchas, and more; but we must obey our dictatorial lord and his spying abilities, even through PMs. so, we must be wary of the non-existant children.

three) please keep your display names readable by everyone, and only named after the represented country/capital. this means they must have eligible roman letters in them. don't go all korean calligraphy with your name. AH™ is an english-speaking roleplay forum, despite the setting.

four) do not advertise ANYWHERE except within the advertising/affiliation section. pming members links to other sites, putting links in your signature, etc, etc, is a bannable offense.

five) if you are ever confused, do not be afraid to contact staff. we don't bite.

six) if your character is ever rejected, you may repost a new bio. you may not delete your old bio and information.

image rules

one) all avatars must be 100x100 pixels.

two) signatures cannot exceed 450 pixels in width, and 300 pixels in height.

three) all characters must have an anime/manga face claim that is not already on the list prior to the making of said character. original images are fine as well (something you drew, or something you found on a site that allows the art to be used elsewhere.) but your avatar can only be of your character, only.

five) do not EVER stretch the page of the site.

six) do not post inappropriate material.

ic rules

one) one character per account, please.

two) do not remake canons. we don't need any narutos, edwards or ichigos running around. basically, don't make carbon copies of existing characters, anime or not.

three) you may have as many characters as you please. try keeping them all active though.

four) we do not accept mary sues or gary stus. this means perfect characters, or characters with a small amount of flaws. this could also be all powerful characters.

five) no godmodding, powerplaying, etc. you know the drill. if caught doing this, the punishment will vary depending on the intensity and nature of the crime.

six) this site is death disabled, due to the frank and obvious rating for the genre. you may only kill off other characters (as that would cause the whole country to go into non-existence) with owner approval.

posting rules

one) try using spellcheck.

two) chatspeak in character is forbidden (unless for a lulz). out of character, it's accepted as long as people can understand you.

three) when coloring posts, try not to blind people. thanks.

four) please post at least fifty words per post icly. this is not hard in the least, and should be about 4 - 5 sentences.

five) we encourage roleplayers to engage in small posts. this does not mean every thread needs to be small, but we want to create a relaxed and fun environment without the stress of having super long and tedious posts. if you want to make a long post, go for it! but everyone else is not obligated. try to have fun, and progress a story!
