Brave Galaxy is set in a world loosely based on Hiro Mashima’s Fairy Tail and Eden’s Zero. It is a PG-13 or so rated space fantasy RP, and uses a combination of character statistics, which can be acquired via roleplaying and events, and creative freedom to help direct players’ characters. While there is a main storyline, which can be found in the events section, characters are free to interact with others and their environment however they see fit.
Explore the galaxy. Overcome the obstacles in your path. Shape the future of humanity.
For those who are new to roleplaying, OOC stands for out of character, or the interactions you will have with other members of BG, while IC stands for in character, or the interactions your character(s) will have with other members' characters or the general world around them.
OOC Rules
Be respectful to other members. This is a bit of a given, but they are also here to have fun on BG, and while we all have different opinions on things please discuss these things in a civilized matter.
Expletives such as fuck, shit, damn are allowed while talking to others (and this is one of the reasons why we are PG-13ish), however anything that could be classified as hate speech is not allowed. In general, blatant racism, sexism, and homophobia are not tolerated on BG, and although you are allowed to express your opinions on such do so in a respectful manner. Chances are if there's a bad word to describe a specific group of people, they're probably already struggling with the real world as it is.
The moderators and admins volunteer their time to upkeep BG, so please don't pester them to review your things. It's acceptable to let someone know casually (re: in the Discord general) when you post something, however don't let anyone know again until a week has passed since that date. Chances are staff see it, but are simply too busy or are checking in with other staff to see if something is acceptable.
Mature themes regarding sex, abuse, or other things are not allowed to be talked about in the general discussions and chat boxes.
Excessive trolling will be punished. Yes, it can be funny for a little bit, but in the end it just ends up being a pain for everyone.
Going along with Proboards's terms of service, you must be at least 13 years old to create an account. You may only have one account.
IC Rules
IC does not equal OOC, and vice versa. If someone's character does not like your character, this does not mean they hate you. Likewise, if two people disagree with each other OOC they can't just bring this into their RPs together (and this most often applies to fighting/killing other characters) without reasonable IC justification.
No powerplaying, metagaming, or anything similar. You control your character and NPCs and no one else. Even if your character has a large statistical advantage over another character, you still can't autohit them or anything of the like. Likewise, if something about a character isn't clearly presented (their age, nationality, etc) then your character most likely would not know it. Of course, there are certain magical techniques that allow a character to know certain things, and sometimes people will write certain things in their character's description that could be hints for your character, but unless you make an agreement with the other player, please don't do this.
Characters are allowed to say whatever they would like, however keep in mind real life offensive words are as offensive in RP. Again, this is purely for IC.
Gritty details involving violence are allowed, however please keep it tasteful. If you have no point in describing how your character dismembered someone in every little way other than to describe it, just don't.
Sexual acts are strictly PG-13. Anything that goes over this rating must be faded to black. That's not what this site is about.
While your character can kill other characters, in non-event threads you must ask for a member's permission, and IC permission does not equal this. Your character must also have reasonable justifications for doing so. In the same vein of things, characters with a lot of stat points cannot just go ham on newbies, and if this happens an admin will swoop in and your character will be severely punished. If you sign up for an event, you're putting your character's life in your own hands, however it's still highly advised to not kill other characters without their player's permission.
If you wish for your character to be a founding member of a major organization or a member of a government, you must contact an admin to get this backstory approved. Your character's history and personality must also fit such. This doesn't apply to your own created organizations and countries.
