Core Rules
Thank you for taking the time to read through our handbook!
SeptimoRP is a collaborative roleplay where everyone helps build the story together!
This page might look like a lot, but don't worry! Most of it is simply common courtesy written down clearly so everyone knows what to expect. 💙
⚓ The Essentials
These are the most important expectations for every member of SeptimoRP.
🧭 Rule 0: Real Life Comes First
Real life always comes first.
If you need to step away, that is completely okay. If you can, leave a quick message so everyone knows what is happening.
Your health, work, education, family and wellbeing will always come before roleplay.
❤️ You never need to apologise for putting real life first.
Be kind, welcoming and patient with one another. Treat other players with the same respect you'd like to receive. If someone asks you to stop something or says they're uncomfortable, respect that without argument. At the end of the day, we're all here to have fun together.
Let your scene partners know when you need to pause, leave or change a scene. If something is bothering you, tell us sooner rather than later. We would much rather solve a small problem than let it become a big one.
Septimo is a shared story. Every character deserves opportunities to speak, make decisions, fail, succeed and influence the wider adventure.
Please speak with an admin before promoting another roleplay, server, community, business or creative project. Sharing things naturally between friends is fine. Organised advertising requires permission.
🧠 No Metagaming
One of the best parts of roleplay is discovering things naturally. Even if you know something, your character should only act on information they have learned, witnessed or been told during the story.
You all now know I keep my toenail clippings in a jar. Your characters, however, have absolutely no idea. Please don't make them ask me to see my toenail jar. ...It's mine 😠
You read on another character's profile that they're secretly cursed. The very next scene, your character immediately confronts them about the curse despite having no reason to suspect anything.
Your character notices unusual behaviour, asks questions and slowly pieces together clues until the truth is revealed through roleplay.
🎮 Do Not Control Other Characters
Never decide another player's actions, emotions, injuries or outcome for them. Always give other players a meaningful opportunity to react.
He punched River and knocked him unconscious.
He swung a fist towards River's jaw, attempting to knock him backwards.
⚡ No Godmodding or Powerplay
Your character should be able to succeed, but they should also be able to fail, be surprised, become injured or need help.
Interesting stories often happen because things go wrong.
⏳ Activity and Absences
If you are away for a while, your Discord role may be changed to show that you are inactive.
Long periods of inactivity may result in a character being temporarily archived or safely NPC'd so ongoing scenes can continue. They can always return later.
Life happens. Just keep us updated where you can.
🤖 Let AI Help, Not Replace You
AI can help with:
Your roleplay writing, character development and creative choices should still be your own.
Please do not advertise generative AI tools within the community.
⚓ Admins and Community Support
SeptimoRP is run by Anju / River, Jessikii and Nixxy.
We are here to help answer questions, develop characters, explain lore, support difficult scenes and keep the world running smoothly.
Admins may step in to resolve disputes, clarify rules or guide story outcomes when necessary. These decisions are made with both the story and the wellbeing of the community in mind.
