Across the Stars is a proboards forum based RP, set in the Star Wars Universe, 125 years after the Return of the Jedi. The Vong invasion never happened, because it was probably the worst idea that Lucas ever had, but thats another thing entirely. We are located here. We welcome almost any literate RPer that wishes to join us. While it's by no means required, applicants are advised to download MSN Messenger, as that is the program that we all use to keep in contact. Because we are all students, we are most active during summer and winter vacation times, with rare sporadic bursts of IC interaction occuring during the fall and spring.

Please email your application and registration info to MothInflamez@gmail.com with the subject as "ATS Application {_insert your chosen affiliation here_}". The links to the applications are located at the bottom of this page. Thank you for your interest.

Keep in mind that this is set aproximately 126 years after Return of the Jedi, and therefore, the setting isn't much like that of either Luke or Anakin Skywalker's time periods. Read as much as you possibly can so that you can get a feel for who we are and what will be acceptable. If it's not obvious already, description and creativity are valued. More than one member here fancies themselves a writer, and description makes all of us happy. Proper spelling and grammar are requirements, but if you're not that great with one or the other, we'll be happy to help you, provided you're willing to work with us on it.

1. This is a STAR WARS RP. That means you do things that are plausible in Star Wars. That means no Fairies, no Super-Saiyans, Sailor Scouts, Dragons, Gundams, things that work in star trek, or tricks that you did not see in the movies or read in the books without permission. If you think it'll work maybe PM a mod and ask. We'll tell you yes, or no, or help you come up with a way to make it work.

2. This forum is a book style RP, where the only difference between two posts by two people will be writing style and omniscience. In other words, your post should flow smoothly from the post before you and be able to flow smoothly into the post after you. To do this, there are several sub-rules
   • Avoid one line posts. These simply do not have enough description and do not allow for anyone to reply in kind. Creativity is key, include detail.
   • 1337 is FORBIDDEN. People noticed or reported using leet will be subject to mod disciplinary action. Leet is a very newbie-ish thing to do, and it also makes it nearly impossible to reply in kind.
   • While being active is required, making more than two posts in the course of twelve hours without interacting with another roleplayer is forbidden. We realize that people live in different time zones and are online at different times. Restrict your actions to one long post. Use the modify button if there is something you want to add.
   • Literacy is imperative. This includes spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure. If you have a problem with any of these things, use Word or Works to write your posts - those little green and red squiggly lines generally mean you have issues that need to be dealt with before posting. If you need further help, feel free to email your post to a mod - we will be happy to assist you until you can find your feet as far as making legible posts goes.
   • Colors are allowed, as long as they are visible. Users need to check their chosen color on this page and this one before using it.
3. The limit on the number of NPCs you may be controlling at any one time is three. This means that, if you need them, you may create three transitive characters to serve whatever purpose you need to serve. You may change these transitive characters at any time, but you may never be in control of more than three.
4. No one person may control more than one player character (PC) in any of the areas. In other words, you may have one Lightsider, one Darksider, one Smuggler, and one Bounty Hunter, and, I suppose, one Imperial and one Republican, if you were crazy enough to want that many active PCs, but never more than one in any area.
5. Until such time as you are given permission by the moderators of this forum (namely Rhianna Majere, Civeta Syra, or Osaka Xiaoxing) no new player may create a non-player character. This includes any sideline character who may have an affect on your character's abilities or talents - introducing characters who are crucial to the backstory of your PC is fine as long as it is approved. There is absolutely no allowance for characters in either Jedi alignment to create NPCs to train themselves - that is a direct violation of this rule and is grounds for a warning. When you are approved to control NPCs, you will be notified by a moderator.
6. To avoid confusion, the only species allowed without special permission that is not on this list is Human. Create characters accordingly.
