The Big Nos in creating
Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia, Pedophilia- Don't be a Jackass
Don't engage in stereotyping characters, using racist, homophobic, or transphobic tropes, or deliberately be punching down on other groups.
Not wrong, just different.
When creating or expanding upon different cultural groups, religions, races, and beliefs of people in the world, be sure to do so in a manner that does not portray the group(s) as inherently wrong for their beliefs or evil for them. A group with a differing culture than the mainstream of the world is not wrong, simply different.
No lifting from other source material or real people
Anything and any character you create here must not be lifted from another work. This means you cannot create a character that is one from someone else's work or heavily based on a real person. No horcruxes from Harry Potter, no BTS but centaur, crossovers, etc. Anything you make must be your own. This includes all images hosted as well- Only use images you have created yourself or commissioned for use here.
Respect other people's work/the canon
Please keep edits to your own articles beyond general typo/grammar fixes. Do not rewrite other people's pages without permission or create pages that directly go against what they have created. Also keep in mind what is already canon in the world before making changes to it.
Ross has the final say
While this is mainly a collaborative project and input from others is always welcome, please keep in mind that ROTH is and always will inherently be my (Ross) project. It is something I have worked on since high school. At its core, ROTH is my world and my project, and I can for whatever reason and at any time decide to reject concepts, characters, plots, etc or make changes to them.
Absolutely no use of AI
You and anything you created, AI or not, will be removed.
Adding to Canon
If you have an idea or concept, please feel free to add it, but you must discuss it with Ross/the discord first. Ross and the mods have final say over what becomes canon or not, and pages made without prior discussion or going against other parts of the world may be removed. Once a concept or character is approved, you will have one month to create their page. Please follow the formats already used for canon pages- This includes categorization, structure, paragraph breaks, etc. Please do NOT use RPG character/RPG pages, we are not at this time using those.
All characters must be a race already present in ROTH. We are not creating new ones at this time. All humans must also be deceased in the modern era. Omnia's forms must be animals that were around at the time of their birth or change into omnia- No omnia with sabertooth or dinosaur forms.
Please keep species created grounded in reality and speculative evolution. Species should be a logical transformation of another species that was present in the human era- Don't just add antlers to something without them, or throw wings on something else.
If you do not have perms/authorship on the world and would like to submit something, please ask Ross to do it for you- I will make the article and put you as the author of it.
Gods
All gods created must be minor gods, and be gods of a species or larger group of similar species (Ex: Ferventi as the god of all wolves, Ludovic the god of Polecats). Only in special circumstances may there be two gods of the same species, and ONLY when approved by Ross.
Pages for gods MUST be at least 1,000 words and must be completed within a month of being approved.
Gods' mortal forms must be one of the races already present in ROTH- no creating new ones.
You may only have up to 5 gods at one time.
