1. Fill out the character sheet according to the direction in the Joining post.
2. No sparkle cats. Fur and markings must be realistic. Manes and hair tufts are to be kept at a reasonable size and length. Eyes must be of a realistic colour for the species.
3. No god modding, Mary Sues/Gary Stus, or unrealistic traits. Keep your character at a nice balance of strengths and weaknessess, positive and negative character traits, and stats.
4. Members are allowed a maximum of six characters. New members must wait a minimum of 1 month before applying for their second character. Members who have had their second character approved must wait only half a month before applying for a new character.
5. Anyone may apply at any time, but pay attention to what tribes are open.
6) No applications should be left blank. WIPs (works in progress) are allowed, but an application should never be empty; kittens must have complete applications before being accepted, as seen in the Relationships post. Accepted characters who are undergoing a revamp must retain information under all of the mandatory categories (personality, history, etc.), even if they are only from an older application. Any members found with incomplete or blank character sheets will be given a time frame within which to complete their application; if it is not completed within that time, or an extension is not requested, then the character will be considered dead.
7) Official diagnostic names of mental illnesses should not be listed on biographies. This primarily refers to disorders, as there is no method of diagnosis available in the tGB universe.
This does not mean you must rewrite your character!
Merely, that you must remove the actual term from character biographies.
Things that are not allowed: “X cat has schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, ADHD, Tourette’s Syndrome, Autism, Alzheimer’s, etc.”
Things that are allowed: “X cat is allergic to bees, is anxious, hears/sees things that are not real, is prone to panicking, is finicky about the alignment of their nest, cannot remember things very well, experiences frequent mood swings, has involuntary movement/vocal tics, has trouble communicating thoughts verbally, has any physical illness, etc.”
We ask that you remove any and all names of mental illness from your character biographies. Members who are found to be active, but have not removed mentions of mental illness from their character's biography, will be given one warning and one opportunity to remove it before being given a strike.
8. Rape, sexual assult, and incest are strictly forbidden in TGB. Any references alluding to these will result in a punishment anywhere from a strike to an immediate kick.
9. Heavily fandom associated characters will not be accepted into the group.
