General Rules:

Before we get into the details about the site’s rules I would like to welcome you all to the Realm of the Ascended (RotA)! We're a multi-verse site that allows players to become any character they desire from any universe. RotA is a site for both the more advanced writers and those who are new to the awesome world of roleplaying. You, the members, are free to write in novella style or traditional role-play style. This can be decided amongst players. Please keep in mind that site-wide plots and events will generally be set in novella style. What this means is that it is possible for another player to dictate broad actions from multiple characters. While permission should be acquired from the typist it is okay for players to control one another in a novella style role-play.

On RotA we follow a pretty simple three strike system in regards to warnings.
  • First Offense: Warning
  • Second Offense: twenty-four hour ban
  • Third Offense: Permanently banned


Acquiring a strike isn’t an easy feat. We ask that all members are respectful to one another when acting outside of their characters. We also ask that you keep your personal issues with others to yourselves; they should be dealt with outside of the board.

Out of Character:

  • All new accounts must be validated by Staff Members. Once your application has been approved your account will be activated and you will have full member privileges.
  • Don't argue with staff their decision is final! This encompasses Admins, Super Mods and Moderators.
  • Any and all forms of advertisement are restricted to advertisement section of the board.
  • In your actual threads keep OOC chatter to a minimum
  • Please register with First and Last name of your intended character, DO NOT use your aliases as they are subject to change. However you’re playing a character that is a symbiote or uses possession you may use your alias as your face claim can change three times per calendar year.
  • When creating a custom character please make sure your name doesn’t clash with a canon characters. For example there can only be one Peter Parker.
  • When you first join you may create a maximum of two characters. Only one of them can a be a canon character. Once you’ve been active for three consecutive months you may create a third character and they too must be a custom. Once you’ve reached the six month mark you may create a maximum of six characters. As stated previously only one character is allowed to be your canon at any time, and can switch characters. But you also have the ability to decommission a character causing them to be listed here.
  • How do you go about switching characters? Simple if you selected a canon and you've done less than three threads with that character you may trade them out for a new canon, one that will hopefully suit you a lot better. Switching characters shouldn't become a habit so please do this sparingly. Keep in mind switching only applies to canons, for customs you can simply retire them without having to worry about the rules for decommissioning.


In Character:

  • One line responses are strictly forbidden, no one wants to put effort into a response only to receive a one line response. It is pretty demoralizing.
  • Any thread that includes gore laden violence should be tagged as [mature] in the topic’s title.
  • No god modding or power playing. Which means do not control someone else's character, this only applies when roleplaying traditionally with another member(s). If you and your partners decide to write novella style this rule is dismissed.
  • If you wish to; seriously injure, kill or possibly even make a character pregnant you must okay it with an Admin or Super Mod and of course the other player(s) involved.
  • We write in third person, so you must in third person…
  • Personal history threads are more than welcomed to be posted, just put the date in the initial post so we’re aware how far back this flashback goes.


Character Images:

  • You’re permitted to use real life images to represent your characters, however if you create a custom you cannot pick a face claim of anyone who has played a superhero. For example you cannot use an image of Christopher Reeves if you’re not Superman or an image of Christian Bale if you’re not Batman. However, you’re free to use anime, cartoon or real-life face claims. This goes for both canons and customs.
  • Avatars can be no larger than 250x250 pixels
  • Signatures should be no bigger than 400x600 pixels.


C-box Rules:

  • No advertising, in any manner.
  • Do not spam.
  • No .gif avatars please.
  • No flame baiting or arguing within the realm of the c-box.
  • Issues with staff shouldn’t be tossed into the box, if you have grievance PM an admin.

Rules Update, a new clause regarding character switching has been added. This only impacts canon characters, they can also be retired if you decide you don't want a canon at all. Keep in mind retiring a canon, or switching, makes them fair game for other writers to join as or switch to!
