Character Requirements
- It's a Rat Race - This RP operates under the principle "first come, first serve", meaning that reserving characters happens by claiming them in the OOC firstly and then submitting a character sheet. However, once you have chosen a spot you are obliged to submit a CS within three days. Surely sometimes life can get in the way and, if such a scenario occurs, I am quite willing to extend the deadline by 2 additional days
- Not Enough Charas - The character limit per roleplayer is 2 - one human and one demon, though not everyone will be given the chance at playing both roles, seeing as the amount of humans is limited and I don't really intend on adding onto it. Something else of note is that it is not allowed to play two humans or two demons. Just sayin'
- Banish the Sobstory - Ayyyyy~ This is a lighthearted roleplay so I expect everyone to stay on the bright and comedic side of things. Thus, tragic and angsty characters or character backgrounds are going to be looked down upon
- You're Gonna Catch Cooties - The focus of this RP will not be romance, though interactions of all types between characters are encourages. Simply try to keep the plot satirical and do not bring focus to your lovey-dovey relationship. Such a thing as shipping should be done via PMs
- Explosions are Overrated- The focus of this RP will not be action either so do not give your character (especially if they are a demon) overpowered abilities. Instead, stick to the mind over matter concept. The demons are supposed to taint the humans through conviction not violence and fighting. I will say, however, that obstacles might occur along the way to the 9th Floor~
- Get Creative - Try to be detailed and quirky with your character sheet. This naturally applies to all aspects of it, whether it be additional information or formatting, which you are given full control and absolute of
First come first serve! Get 'em while they're hot (literally... they're in Hell)!

Roleplay Rules
- Curse Life and Its Busy Pace - Life can get in the way sometime and this applies to me as well. Thus, I try to be as understanding as possible when someone is unable to reply. Hence, the roleplaying frequency is usually set to at least 3 times a week, though I hope that in the future all of us can fall into some sort of autopiloted schedule that is convenient for all. In the meanwhile, if you are forced to take leave for a while then please notify me
- Novels and One Sentence Stories - Both of these will be frowned down upon in relation to post length. Firstly, one-liners are a huge no-no, yet I will not demand of everyone to think up a whole story when replying each time. Thus, the limit of paragraphs per post will be set to two (can be brought down to one if the occasion calls for it)
- Oh My GOD - Stop godmodding. Just don't do that. Don't be a douche. Be realistic. Don't abuse your powers and give the other roleplayers a chance. Just strive to create realistic scenarious as far as the world of the Inferno goes
- I am Allergic Bunnies - Bunnying is also a no-no. Do not manipulate a fellow roleplayer into giving up their spot or character to you. Additionally, do not assume the role of a personage without having gained permission from their rightful creator
- Drama Police - Though comedic drama is encourage in the IC, any OOC arguments will not be tolerated and dealt with briefly. If anyone has issues with a certain roleplayer they should contact they via PMs and spare everyone else the sight, or notify me as the GM
- Don't Be a Douche - Be nice and respectful towards everyone and think of other's wellbeing before being offensive or close-minded. Although dark humor will be an integral part pf the roleplay, this does not give you the right to be a self-righteous jerk and put others down based on discrimination. Such things shall simply not be tolerated and instead swiftly dealt with
- Have Fun
