Survival Guide.

Disclaimer: I'm sure I don't have to even say anything about this. I'm sure you're not stupid. At least I hope not.

-Guidelines.

01. Strictly 18+ novella, as the headline says. Mature themes ahead.

02. Respect. That being said - don't steal any of my sh*t. Thanks.

03. Roleplay mechanics; comments must be in third person. Godmoding and metagaming isn't allowed - I'm capable of controlling my own character - however, feel free to use my NPC's as you wish (but, death of said NPC's should be discussed with me first.) And please, have your f***ing characters have flaws and weaknesses - they aren't perfect, and I just get annoyed with god-like characters that are above everyone and everything in the universe. If you're one of those? Go away now.

04. And speaking of NPC's - I've listed just a few, and they're only the people who Astrid has met in her life. As well as the places I've listed and mentioned. It's all from Astrid's point of view - so this is pretty much free game for you. There's SO much more than what she knows, and what she has seen. There's more people in certain gangs that I have already mentioned, (being that gangs usually range from 4-10 people) and there's so many gangs out there that you can literally feel free to make some up. Use your creativity, you can make up a new company/gang/person/magazine/jobs/brands/products, etc. Anything that's needed to suit the SL's needs; as long as it makes sense.

05. What year is this? The year 3000. Yup - all the way in the distant future. The world is nowhere near normal, and A LOT is capable of happening. Put your head in gear, I'm sure SL discussions would be easy peasy.

06. I goof around in bulletins a lot. All I ask, is for you to mind your business if you're not being addressed in said post. Feel free to read it, laugh at it, if you must - but don't jump into the conversation, especially when it's in the form of a mini-RP that can't possibly have a third person involved. If it's an open discussion, and I'm just joking around, then go ahead and make a comment, join right in. Otherwise? Keep your trap shut, even if you open your mouth, I'll just ignore you. Save yourself from the embarrassment. Have a problem with my posts? There's a nifty little button called "delete," learn to use it. Please and thank you.

07. OOC drama is not accepted. However, IC drama is welcomed. Keeps things moving along.

08. Multi-SL - which means, different characters, different scenarios, different relationships, etc. etc. But, of course - I play favorites.

-Vocabulary.

Dust/Dusted: Dead, but usually used as a term for a non-violent death.

Ghost/Ghosted: Dead, usually used as a term for someone who was killed, versus dying of a natural cause.

Dust Angels/Desert Rats: Another name used for the residents of the Outlands, mainly used by City people.

Firefight: Fight involving ray guns.

Eleven: A name mostly used by Outlander's to refer to Xaviax Industries - shortened to X.I. which together, makes the roman numeral eleven (XI), hence the nickname.

Pig: Term used to describe gang members that have betrayed their own gang for another, or have joined the Government, selling out their gang, in order to live.

Zaps/Zappers: A slang for ray guns.

Urbanites: A term used by Outlanders for the residents of the City.

Runners: People in the gangs that are assigned to make the dangerous travels to the City in order to bring back anything of use for the gang. The ones brave enough to risk their lives for their gang members.

In closing; That's it from your friendly neighborhood Spiderman! Message with any questions you might have, blah-blah-blah, enjoy your time, and stay alive.
