RULES

규칙

rules

• Display name should be your character's name in CAPITAL LETTERS, with no weird symbols etc. Try and keep things nice and uniform. If your character has debuted, put their debut name instead of their given one if it is different.
  
• All in-character posts (sans instant messaging, cell phones, etc.) must be at least 350 words in length. Having a rough day and can't type that much? Post in one of the aforementioned threads instead.
  
• If any image in your post or signature stretches the forum, re-size it or it will be removed by an admin, icon sizes are 100x150. Need help with graphics? PM K, she will be happy to help.
  
• One character per account. Keep the boy-girl ratio as even as possible (basically, don't have all girls).
  
• NO MARY SUES, if we deem your character so we will ask you to fix it. Also, no obvious rewrites of your PB as your character. If you have a PB of Taemin who just so happens to be adorable and cutesy and young and naive, you're not making a character, you're pretending to be a real person. make a CHARACTER okay?
  
• Character ages should range from 15-25 (intl.) I know there are older/younger ages in actuality, but to keep everyone around the same page, those are the age limitations for this board. Your character also does not have to be young to be a trainee (for example Donghyun from Boy Friend didn't debut until he was 21.)
  
• Relationships between idols happen, though it's very hush hush and is almost always kept secret from the public, and sometimes their entertainment companies. Keep this in mind.
  
• I know it is popular in fandoms to ship between the members. Please realize the topic of sexuality is very touchy in Korea, and you are risking being kicked out of your group if discovered. While not banned from nae-sesang, please understand a situation where this would occur is very, very rare.
  
• Keep the fights in character; don't bring that hostility over into the out of character areas of the site, like the cbox for instance. Fight in the cbox or argue with the admins and you will be banned.
  
• regular students/fans CAN "audition" later, so don't be afraid to make a fan who attempts to debut later on. in order to do this you would simply need to PM K or M and fill out the "audition" form. Your old bio would then be replaced and you would be given new status.
  
• PBs should be Korean predominately, or at least Asian, from an established group/an established singer. No random pictures of Asian people from wherever.
  
• Please limit the amount of US natives who manage to make it to Korea as an idol. For the time being, just assume your PB needs to be native to Korea, or living there permanently at the time of their audition.
  
• In the off chance that you can speak Korean fluently or you speak it a bit, please do still refrain from riddling your posts with Korean as many of our members will likely find it daunting and not understand it. Also when misused accidentally it could look silly, etc. HOWEVER, there are certain terms (aigoo, aish, omo, hyung, appa, unni, etc) that don't have a direct translation to english and can be used as appropriate. Of course, if you aren't entirely sure about when to use them/if you're using them correctly/etc it won't bother anyone if you simply don't use it! Or, of course, you can ask!
  
• Managers K and M are well aware of many many resources in terms of names, Kpop in general, etc- if you need help, ask away.
  
• Have to leave for vacation or something? PM an admin, and we'll announce via JABDAM that your idol has gotten sick/injured themselves/won't be able to attend their schedules. Even hiatuses are part of the plots!
  
• We use CSS templates, if you don't know how they work and would like a copy of one pm K and she will give you the coding for one.
  
• Feel free to make the characters less formal/more demanding or other have undesirable characteristics, act more crude, less polite than what is expected in Korea (away from the public) as it will make things more interesting/easier to come up with plots. (So please don't go around saying 'THEY WOULDN'T DO THAT IN KOREA!' because this is a rpg, and we want to make things more drama filled and spontaneous.
  
• Trainees and idols attend Kirin Arts High School- it includes many specialized classes relating to performances, etiquette, languages, music composition, lyricism etc. Everyone else attends the nearby college prep high school, Seoul High School. If your character is college aged, they would obviously attend the college.
  
• If you would like to play a students, fill out the 'student paperwork'
  
• This site isn't 100 percent accurate, but we tried making it as close as possible, if you have any suggestions for us, feel free to post them in the suggestions thread.~
  
  
  
  
• Want your character to be an idol? At the moment we don't have a lot of members, so if you want your character to have already debuted - this is probably entirely possible. Simply fill out the 'audition paperwork' under files and submit it, make sure to list which talent agency order you would be trying out in. (For example if you hope to debut in PLAY you would put down P.A.L. first - though keep in mind that you could be accepted for one of their other groups (in P.A.L.'s case - Petal) if this is a better fit.
  
• The admin will decide which group you debut to. This has to do with the characters personality, how old they are, and what we still need for the groups. If you want to debut, for instance, as the main dancer for SPark, this would be impossible as they already have one - so the admin would look to your next ent. group choice to see where to place you.
  
• Once all groups fill up, we will eventually be debuting new ones. This will work by us seeing which trainees meet what we need (for instance if we have a 17 year old and a 21 year old, the 21 year old would be chosen as the leader) If we have multiple people who will fit a role we will put them in a random generator to be chosen - we will then pm those chosen and create the group.
  
• Please make their ages realistic, if the group maknae is 16, you can't expect to be put in the same group with a 15 year old - additionally older groups, like Prestige, would have older members; their maknae would be around 18.
