[FELID_FACTOR RULES + INTRODUCTION]

[skinstealer]

 

Welcome to the Felid Factor Forums! Felid Factor is a forum run by TCPs, for TCPs, and only TCPs can join- yes, this does mean we’ll ask you for verification on signing up. Providing you’re willing to give that, you’ll be welcomed into a community that prides itself on being both a friendly place for TCPs to interact and a helpful resource hub for those looking for information on their species. Here you will find TCPs of all typings, including hybrids and those with anomalies, conditions and modifiers- we’ve even teamed up with people from research facilities to provide extra resources to those looking to learn more about themselves and their peers. For those who aren’t TCPs and are interested in our forums- our resource section remains public for viewing, and you’re welcome to learn through there, but please, respect our boundaries! We TCPs need a space of our own, too!

 

Within Felid Factor itself, we have a few different areas:

 

General Chatter, an anything goes area for anyone to talk in about just about everything. If you’re not sure where something goes, here’s a good place! If it’d be better suited for another area, someone will be sure to guide you to the right area, and you’ll be well on your way. It’s a great place to get started and introduce yourself!

 

Artist’s Corner, an area for artists of any kind to make, share, and sell their work. While we have a marketplace area (mentioned below) available, this is a more focused area for people to market their work, and people can choose to advertise wherever they please- or in both areas, if they like! Any kind of content is allowed as long as it is legal and non-sexual, and we encourage you to express yourself. 

 

Gaming Den, an area for playing, discussing, and making games! Feel free to make groups to play multiplayer games with, or just discuss whatever games you’ve been playing as of late. Any games are welcome, no matter how popular or obscure, and no matter what skill level is required. Even board games are allowed, and we even have webcam-based tabletop game nights!

 

Open Marketplace, an area for buying, selling, and overall advertisement of wares, services, and anything else you can think of. TCPs are often overlooked in the global market dominated by complexes, and this space allows for us TCPs to market to each other without fear of being overshadowed by our larger peers. As long as your wares are legal and non-sexual in nature, they are welcome here!

 

Enigmas and Absurdities, an area created by popular request, dedicated to strange happenings, magical studies, paranormal activity, you name it. While we don’t intend on making too many specialized areas like this, the demand for such a board was too high for us to ignore it, and due to the inherent magical nature of TCPs and the prevalence and reality of supernatural typings, we felt like it deserved a spot.

 

To sign up for Felid Factor, just fill out the following form and provide photo verification of yourself holding up a piece of paper with your preferred username on it, along with the date. We’ll review your application as soon as possible and try to get you on the site when we can, so you can start posting and enjoying everything we have to offer.

 

Thank you for checking out Felid Factor, and we hope you enjoy your stay!

 
OOC INTRO + RULES
This is a roleplay subforum meant to emulate the in-universe forum of Felid Factor- as the intro suggests, this is a forum run by TCPs, for TCPs, and only TCP characters are allowed. You can enlist existing TCPs or make new ones, as long as they're TCPs, you're good to go. You do not have to go through an actual approval process in character, but you will need to post a character profile before participating in the roleplay. This makes sure that people have references for which characters are which, though you do not need to share a picture, real name, or typing details of your TCP. If your TCP wants to remain fully anonymous to the rest of the roleplay, you can!

You can make any kind of thread in each of the different subforums, but be careful- an admin might move your thread in character if you put it in the wrong place! If you want to roleplay as a TCP being an outright asshole you can as well, but please check in with anyone you're being a dick to out of character to ensure that they're okay with this happening. Not everyone is going to be welcoming to that kind of interaction in their roleplays, and the in-character mods might ban your character! You aren't limited in how many TCPs you can sign up with, however, so feel free to add as many as you like.

NSFW content is not allowed at all in this subforum, and gore/body horror/graphic content is only allowed if it fits the 16+ rating and is properly spoilered + tagged - shock content will not be tolerated. If you're not sure about whether the content in a thread would be appropriate for the general audience, include content warnings at the start of a thread or post. If a mod or the owner of the thread asks you to remove the content from their thread, listen.

Preface your posts with the TCP that's posting's username- icons are also nice, but they are not necessary for posting or profiles! The form for profiles and more information about how those thread work can be found in the respective subforum- you do not have to fill out this profile extensively, just as long as the basic information is present. However, if you want to make your TCP's profile pretty, by all means! 

The TCPdex Points system has been replaced with the more global Cash system- this serves the same purpose as points did for the TCPdex RP in that you can exchange it for fictional goods and services within the roleplay itself, primarily in the Open Marketplace and Artist's Alley subforums. You can trade for described or drawn goods sent to your character digitally or in universe, art, or whatever else comes up in the forum! Get creative with it! You will earn 50 Cash per TCP signed up to Felid Factor, and your collected pool can be used by any of your TCPs. There is no limit to this considering it's basically fun money and we're doing it to promote creative roleplay interactions, and people can use it as they like. Start a fortune telling service, sell some in-roleplay jewelry, draw some cute in-character doodles, go nuts.

Remember to be kind to fellow players, and always remember that you can DM someone if you're unsure about a character interaction beforehand. If someone interacts with you in a way you're uncomfortable with, you can let a mod know.

Enjoy Felid_Factor!
