Welcome to the magical world of Wonderland! Please take a moment to read through these guidelines that will ensure that we all have a great time! 
Signing up for a character:
It's a first come, first serve basis. There are some popular characters that inhabit Wonderland, some of them being Alice, the Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, the March Hare... etc. But do not be discouraged if a character you would have liked to have is already taken! We allow you to create your very own, original characters!
With any character you're signing up for, whether it's a canon or original, we ask that you provide a brief profile for them. This way other members can access the character's profile and get a better idea about the character they're going to be interacting with. We're not asking for too much detail, just a brief synopsis to give us all some basic information.
Here is what we ask you to fill out in order to sign up for a character. If this form is not used, your character will not be approved until it is:
Just giving the basic information is fine. We don't ask for an essay, but also would like if the personality and history were at least a paragraph. If you're creating an original character, a picture is not mandatory, you may just fill out the appearance description instead.
Text color:
Each character will have a different color in which they use to role play. This will make it easier when going through different threads and figuring out who is who. To choose a color, when you go to reply to a post, or create a new thread, there is a colors scroll option. There you can pick which color you want to go with your character.
Link to your profile:
Make sure that you place a link to your profile thread in your signature. This way if you start a thread, or join one, the other members participating in that thread can simply click on the link and get information about your character!
Member activity:
Now, we understand that it's difficult to get on here every day and post very often, so we're not asking for that. But if you have a character on here, and aren't active for a month or so, your character will be given to someone else, if the want for that character arises. That is of course, unless we get some kind of message from you letting us know if you are going to be away, but plan to return.
Posting:
This is similar to the rule posted for the forum in general. Please post substance. I'm not asking for an essay or a novel, but putting thought and effort into your post will help the role playing be more fun! Also, before posting, be sure to check over your post for grammar or spelling errors. Now, I'm not going to be checking threads simply for little spelling or grammar mishaps, but just make sure what you decide to post is readable.
Being appropriate:
I am not asking to keep your posts at a G rating, but, lets face it, this is an Alice in Wonderland forum. There is a big chance younger members may be posting and joining, so lets keep things at a PG to PG-13 level. If things do get to a PG-13 level, just post it in the subject, so if other members are offended by things of this nature, they are warned.
Have fun!:
I know all of these rules can be annoying, but really the main goal of creating this role playing section is for you guys to have fun! I was part of a role playing board a while back, and the rules were very strict, and the forum overall was not very welcoming. I want this to be an enjoyable experience, something you look forward to. So, please, if there are any comments, questions, or concerns, do not hesitate to shoot me or White Rabbit a private message, the issue will be addressed ASAP.
The story:
The story is posted in the side box entitled Role-playing, but it will be reiterated here, as well as slightly elaborated on.
[[ Alice has already been to Wonderland, but is back for a second time. This time, all is not well in the whimsical world. The Queen of Hearts is power hungry, creating new laws that has Wonderland bound very tight. With all of this power she has obtained, her goal is to expand Wonderland, and take away the independence and happiness the creatures had grown so accustom to.
This is when you come in. How do you feel about the Queen's new plans? How do you plan to either stop, or help her cause? Set out on a journey to discover new places in Wonderland as well as old. Tackle new adventures and embark on a journey unlike any other. ]]
That's all! Now, go forth and frolic in the whimsical world of Wonderland!
