Long ago, in the norther areas of Europe, lands were ruled by chaos and war. Britain was continually battling itself as village lords sought to become king. Amidst the lawlessness of the land, a woman, clothed in gold and white, came from the seas baring a sword. The sword, she said, was named Excalibur and belonged to the true king of Britain. She placed it in an enchanted stone and told the people that whoever should pull the sword from the stone would be king of Britain.

Men from every village came to the stone, hoping it would be their destiny to become king. Strong men were not able to pull out the sword with their strength. Intelligent men were not able to possess the sword through their witty knowledge. Fifteen years passed; the land was still riddled with disorder and none had been able to take the sword from its place. But when a young man named Arthur - who was not characterized by strength or knowledge, but by kindness - approached the sword and gripped the hilt with both hands, he was able to effortlessly pull the sword from the stone. In awe and amazement all bowed. Though some questioned if Arthur was fit to rule all of Britain, all hailed him as their king.

Merlin, a powerful wizard from beyond the sea, came to Arthur seemingly moments after he was crowned king. He was a trusted man, though mysterious. With Merlin at his side for advice and a heart for the people, King Arthur began to build Britain up to be a just and mighty nation. He built a majesty castle where the enchanted stone was and named it Camelot. In a large, round room was set a large, round table which was surrounded by sixteen chairs. Around this table, sixteen knights and Arthur himself would sit in equality as a wise council, given the duty of governing and protecting Britain. A time of peace and security spread over the country and all trusted the king's wisdom.

But there was one named Mordred, a friend of Arthur and a knight of the round table, who was not as loyal as assumed. He thought Britain was destined to be greater; to conquer all the known world and rule the earth. Arthur refused, believing that Britain had no reason to gain new lands through bloodshed when they could live in peace. Mordred was furious, openly defying the king and making it known that he planned to take the throne. In his kindness, Arthur merely banished Mordred from Camelot, stripping him of his title, though many of the knights called for his death. Britain's unity began to tear apart at the seams. In the north, Mordred began to make an army out of Sloansted's criminals. In Camelot, the people began to fear once again, losing their trust in Arthur.


Camelot must be kept united for Britain to survive and return to peace, for divided, the justice and liberty of the land will surely become broken as well.

 The Rules
« Thread Started on Sept 8, 2008, 7:14pm »

All of these rules must be followed with no excuses.
They can be changed any time bu if they are everyone will be notified.

General Rules
-Respect all other members. Don't be rude or offensive to any other member for any reason.

-Staff=Law. If a moderator tells you not to do something or that you need to change something, respect them and obey. They are just looking out for the well being of the forum.

-Everything must relate. Don't go off in your own little world when RPing, remember this is a Camelot RPG, not Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter or whatever.

-NEVER EVER use chat-speak. Not in RPs, general chatting or the c-box. Talk like a normal person.

-Use spell check. That's what the button is there for.

-One character per account. If you get a new character, get a new account for it.

-No SPAMMING...it's annoying.

-Be sure to make OOC in RPs clear.

-No pornographic images. Keep it all clean.

-Minimal swearing, and only words that would be appropriate for the time period. This is Camelot, not the Matrix.

-Your display name must be the name of your character. No numbers or symbols in your display name.

Character Rules
-No Mary Sue characters. Be unique and be original. Perfect people don't exist, they all have flaws and so do your characters. The password is 'renegade'.

-No god-moding in anyway. This means that you can't kill or injure another character in anyway. Furthermore, you can not RP another character's actions or 'make' their character have a relationship with yours. Be sure to talk about things like that before hand.

-Canon Characters must be auditioned for while as original characters just have to be approved. If you post the profile for a canon character it doesn't mean you get the part.

-There is no character limit, but make sure you keep all your characters active. It would be appreciated if you kept a balance of one male for every female character.

-Certain characters - wizards, magicians and enchantresses - will be allowed to have magical powers. In "United in Camelot", magic does exist most through enchanted items in nature and - by skilled humans - through potions and spells.

Posting Rules
-Every RP post must have 200+ words minimum. This means every post must have a minimal amount of words somewhere around 200 words, but the more you can get the better.

-Please do not change the color of your posts. It's okay if you want your character to always speak in pink but don't make the whole post pink.

-Always write in the 3rd person. You are not your character. You are the writer. The real password is 'infidel'.

Signature&Avatar Rules
-Signatures can only be up to 500 px wide and 250 px tall. This way that don't stretch the board and they don't become murals.

-Avatars can only be 100x100 as that is as big as Proboards will allow.

-Don't use any gore-ridden or provocative pictures in your signatures or avatars.

Penalties
-If you break a rule, you will have warnings and penalties depending on home many times you break the rule and how much you violated the rule.

+1st Offense: Warning
+2nd Offense: Warning
+3rd Offense: Sig & Ava banned 1 week; 2 day ban
+4th Offense: Week ban
+5 Offense: Permanent ban
