Veritatem
VERITATEM is a supernatural community set in SEATTLE, washington. after being outed violently over ten years ago by a radical religious group, supernaturals have begun to form their own communities around the world, nestling in among humans in larger cities.

THE BASIC RULES OF RP APPLY HERE we have all been doing this for way too long, and we know these things, but there will be no tolerance for god-modding, harassment or bullying. be kind to one another and don't be afraid to talk out plotlines. animosity between characters can be a fun idea, but stay in commmunication with your fellow writers.

IS THIS JUST SLICE OF LIFE WITH A TWIST? it is not! while we know sol elements will exist within the community, we want to encourage writing, plotting and old school rping beyond just the general slice of life atmosphere. you are welcome to play a regular old human here, or a supernatural creature trying to keep themselves a secret for whatever reason imaginable, or an out and loud member of the supernatural community. we want to create a place where your imagination can run wild.

there will be mod run plots and events that affect all of the community, along with things that might just affect a smaller few, but we want to encourage writing and give you things to write about and work with.

FAQS CAN BE FOUND HERE



APPLYING
MUST HAVES
☾ an ic or ooc style journal without any extra letters, symbols or numbers with no old entries visible.
☾ backdated ic and ooc entries.
☾ character info in any format, as long as it includes name, age, species, occupation and a decent history. this does not need to be an essay, but there can be no incomplete spots or placeholder text.
character goals
we would like to encourage you to create a screened post specifically for the mod journal, within which you would details all your character plot ideas and goals! we'd love to be able to weave a story you more felt a part of, rather than a passive participant in, and knowing what you'd like for your character in the future helps us work towards that!
things we would be interested in knowing
☾ does your character have a long lost parent? siblings? children? are there any secrets you would like to eventually be revealed?
☾ are you okay with something happening to your character that might be out of their hands?
☾ is there a specific storyline you might want our help in facilitating? ie getting on the wrong side of the law or a pack of hunters, being changed into another species, having an experience in the fae plane, etc!
☾ what would you like to see for upcoming plots, even if it's just a quick sentence suggestion!

examples we do not require examples, instead we want to see a fully realized bio post, with a good idea of who your character is, their history (at least 1-2 paragraphs) and thought put into them. if you're in need of bio coding, check pro and dragonair or check out our resources page for more.

AS OF FEBRUARY 2022 as a community would like to see less plots and character bios centered around supernatural captivity. please come speak to the mod team through the dropbox if you have questions!

PLAYED-BYS all pbs should be over the age of 18, and within 5 years of the age of the character you're creating. in the example of vampires who live to be hundreds of years old, the pb must be within 5 years of the age the vampire was turned. white-washing a pb will never be allowed.

CHARACTER LIMIT the per writer character limit is 5 per writer. you must be active on the fp (writing scenes, commenting, making posts) with your current character before applying for more. if you are currently in the community you MUST INFORM US OF THE OTHER CHARACTER YOU INTEND TO BRING IN. failure to tell us about other roles is grounds for removal, full stop.

REJECTION in the event your application is deleted, it is because we didn't feel like you would be a good fit for this group. we will contact you if there is something easily fixed about your application, such as being unable to see your examples. we will not respond to pms or comments about why you were rejected.


ONCE ADDED

MONTHLY ACTIVITY we require one form of activity a month, and it can take any form you want it to - journal posts, narratives, social media updates, or threading - though we want to encourage writing.

REMOVALS removals will be done on the last sunday of the month. anyone who has not met the prior month's activity requirement, and doesn't have a current extension will be up for removal.

DRAMA drama happens, especially between centuries old supernatural creatures, but what we ask is that ic drama is kept as it is, ic. we're all adults now, and don't need to make one another's lives miserable.
HIATUS & EXTENSIONS we understand that real life comes first, just drop us a note on the member dropbox about what's going on and we'd be happy to work with you so long as you don't take advantage of this. cocurrent extensions will not be allowed.

MID-MONTH CHECK INS around the middle of the month we will post a screened check-in post. you must reply to this post within a few days or you will be up for immediate removal.


UPDATES / EVENTS

JOURNALS journals should be your primary place for posting narratives, updates, and random interactive entries. the internet is a vast place, and supernaturals and their allies have come up with ways to keep in contact. think of it as social media, or message boards.

CUSTOMS function how they do elsewhere, as private chats for your characters.

THREADS/SCENES we know public scening has fallen by the wayside, but what are we all here for? writing! while public writing is not required it is encouraged and public scenes can be used for your monthly activity. all public scenes should be posted to our main community ~planchettes

anything extremely graphic or NSFW should be behind a cut-tag and marked with appropriate warnings. graphic adult content should strictly be kept in private customs.
EVENTS/PLOTS will periodically be introduced by the mods for the entire community. these could vary from strange weather patterns, human encroachment on fallhaven, or a city event! smaller events and prompts might also be announced via our HEADLINES posts! Smaller events and plot points are voluntary, but bigger plot points that affect the entire city cannot be ignored by your character(s).

we want to strongly encourage our members to submit plot ideas and headlines of their own, to help build the community and the world we are all writing in, but this is not required!

FACTIONS & PLOTS events and plots for our factions will be posted bi-monthly and will involve things like investigations, group scenes, puzzle solving and more. we suggest only joining a faction if you are able to commit to consistent plot postings.

CREATING YOUR OWN FACTION creating your own faction requires two dedicated writers to run it, and generate plot/event ideas on their own. these plots will need to be submitted for mod approval before posting, but will be completely in your hands to run. the mod team is happy to help hash out ideas or make suggestions but we will not do all the work for you. comment the dropbox if you have a unique idea for a faction!
