Hello, and welcome to Forged in Light! We're a fanmade Destiny community forum with a focus on roleplay, so if you're interested in lore, worldbuilding, and storytelling, you've come to the right place. There's just a few guidelines to lay down first, though.
general- This site is, first and foremost, centered on roleplay. We do offer a matchmaking forum, but if your only purpose is looking for other players, we suggest the 100 or destiny lfg instead.
- You do not have to play Destiny to join FiL, but a knowledge of the world and lore is essential to understanding the premise of the site. Fortunately, the fextralife wiki has a thorough, easily-navigable database that can get you started.
- If you are a Destiny player, please join with the username you have on whichever platform you use most frequently. For example, if you have it on PS3 and Xbox, but mostly use Xbox, you would join with your Xbox gamertag. If you are not a Destiny player, you can pick whatever username you like (it can always be changed later)!
- Destiny has a hard 'T' rating, which means you should expect levels of violence and language typical of a PG-13 movie. Extreme gore or explicit content is not permitted. When in doubt, if it's against the Zetaboards terms of use it's against the rules here.
- Please be respectful to the other players! You don't have to be friends with everyone, but this is a website for hobbyists to get together and have fun, so let's keep it as safe a space as we can.
characters- There's no limit to how many characters you can make, but you must have at least three in-character posts with each of your characters before you can make a new one!
- Canon characters such as Amanda or the Vanguard can be claimed, but you must have at least one original character in active play first. Canon claims are first-come, first-serve, and must be completed within three days of being reserved.
- If you would like your character to have a face claim, post in the Face Claims thread before you post your profile. That face will be reserved for the next five days while you finish your profile. You can use anyone as a face claim as long as they aren't taken by somebody else!
(You don't actually have to post a face claim before you complete your profile, but it does ensure that that person is reserved if you want to use an image of them, for example.)
- As of now, we only accept original Guardians. If activity stays high enough, other characters such as the Queen's Guard, the Crows, or even alien species, might become available in the future.
- Please create all characters on the same account! It makes it easier to keep track of who's who, and keeps you from having to switch accounts every time you want to use a new character.
roleplaying- FiL does not have a minimum word count, but we do ask that you write at least a paragraph per in-character post. Less makes it more difficult to keep the story flowing, and gives your fellow players less to work with.
- Please make sure to do a quick proofread every time you post! Typos happen, and nobody's asking you to write Shakespeare, but it's easier for everyone when posts are coherent and not rife with errors.
- Keep chatspeak and out-of-character discussion to the chatbox and the general boards, please. If you absolutely have to speak out of character in an in-character thread, just stick it in between {curly brackets}.
- If you want to keep a thread open to only specific players, say so in the "Topic Description" field when starting that thread. Otherwise it will be considered open for anyone to join!
- In that vein, don't be afraid to jump into as many open threads as you want! Just be sure to keep them active -- topics that haven't been posted in for over ten days will be archived, and you'll have to speak to a staff member to get them restored.
other- Avatars that are larger than 135x175 will be automatically resized, so keep them under this resolution if you don't want them to look squished!
- If you have an announcement to make -- for example, a contest or poll -- you may post in the Announcements board pending moderation. Please do not use the board for advertising or matchmaking; there are separate forums for that!
- Staff reserves the right to change the rules at any time, so be sure and check back periodically.
- If anything is unclear, or you have any concerns, don't hesitate to talk to a staff member. We're here to help and will do anything we can!

Welcome to ғᴏʀɢᴇᴅ ɪɴ ʟɪɢʜᴛ! We're a fresh-off-the-ground open-world roleplay based off of Bungie's first-person MMO Destiny.
