This is a Canonical version of the Dragon Riders of Pern series written by Anne McCaffery. There are no deviations from her world, and is based on the time period of Lessa and F'lar after the retrieval of all the Weyrs from the past (Pre-AVIAS).
Admin Note:
Posted in the Setting and Information are a lot of links to sites with references for Pern. I know it's a lot of reading to do if you're not familiar with the world, but please don't let that frighten you. I don't care if your off in some terminology or you don't know something trivial. I'm very lenient about that because I just want to role play. If you know anything about the world, I'm happy. But please, do try and look some of the things over so you can at least have a grasp of how things work and don't flounder. If you any questions about the world, dragons, the books, anything about Pern and how it revolves, DO NOT hesitate to ask. That's I'm here for as your friendly Admin. ^.^
Thank you and I hope you enjoy the Promised Flight of Pern!
Rules and Guidelines:
- The Golden Rule: Treat others the way you want to be treated.
- This is a Slash friendly site.
To be a Canon version of DRoP, some riders were bisexual or homosexual and the colors tend to deviate towards certain sexualities.
Do Not harass someone due to the sexuality of their character!!
- Be Sure that you understand a good portion of the Pernese world before deciding to join this site.
As a Canon role play, we try not to deviate too much.
You're not asked to know everything, but browsing through the information pages should help you enough.
- Please keep the cussing to a minimum. We all know that everyone is capable of writing words, but fighting on the internet is just stupid
- Wait until your character is accepted to post anywhere in the gaming boards. OCC boards are fine while you're waiting.
- Do Not give out too much of your personal information.
I trust most people are here to role play and we shouldn't worry about creepy people over the net, but it happens.
So just be responsible with what you say.
Joining:
- You must read the rules before joining at any cost!
- Use only the rubric provided for posting your characters.
Deviating from this rubric will cause the admin to ask you to change things before you can be accepted.
- If you wish to join already Impressed with a dragon please note that in your application.
- Keep the ratios even. This site needs Candidates to keep running, so please make some Candidates characters.
- After a few weeks of joining, if no activity is made, your account will be deleted and you will have to register again if you wish to play.
- Please Do Not join just to advertise your site. This is a role playing site, it is meant for just that.
Gaming Rules:
- No power-playing or godmoding of any kind. If the admin see this happening, you'll get a warning first. Hopefully you wont do it again.
- You character can only be in two threads at a time. This rule may or may not change due to activity on the site.
- Please Do Not post one sentence replies.
Sometimes it's a little hard to get your muse, and it's not a bad thing, but try and squeeze out at least 3-4 sentences for a nice paragraph.
We all have moments, but don't make a habit of really short posts, it doesn't give much to role play off of.
- Post the word "Ducky" somewhere in your character application to tell me that you've read the rules.
- Try and be a bit realistic, even if this is a fantasy world.
Hatchings:
- Will be controlled by the Admin.
- If you have a request for a dragon's name, PM the admin, however you cannot request a color.
- Colors will be given out by random due to a system that the admin has devised.
There are no favorites, and no insults if you do not get the color you were hoping for.
Not all Candidates get to Impress a Bronze or the Queen.
- Most Candidates will be Impressed with a dragon by the end of the hatching.
There is a slim chance (0 - 3%) that you will not Impress, but more Hatchings will come.
Mating Flights:
- Will be monitored by the Admin.
- There must be a minimum of 10 posts in the thread before a victor is claimed.
- If you are the rider of the female dragon and have a request for your mate, PM the admin and they will handle it accordingly.
- Yes, as the riders, you are overcome by the feelings of your dragons and are very prone to bedding the other rider after the flight.
Please if you wish to be graphic in your posts, notify an Admin and make note of *Graphic* in your title.
(( More Rules are to be added and edited later. All Members will be notified of the changes. ))
