(Note: I've copied and pasted these rules from HMA's old sister board: HMA:RP. I did read them over, but it's possible I may have missed something that would only apply to that forum. If you see something that doesn't make sense, please let me know!)
The Kappa, the Witch Princess, the Goddess and other magical beings:
ONLY Admins and Mods can RP as the Goddess, Witch Princess Kappa and other Magical beings. If you are asking for a wish or something at the spring, don't RP the Goddess, wait for one of us to do it.
All other HM characters (Ann, Doc, Mayor Thomas, Takakura, Celia etc.) can be played by anyone though.
Magic is not allowed for other characters.
Communicating with Animals
No one can talk to animals, as in, have a bird cheep at you and understand what it means.
However, as in real life, some more intelligent species of animals have ways of communicating with people. Birds that can learn to speak, including, but not limited to parrots and ravens are allowed. If you have a chimp and you teach it sign language, that is allowed.
If it can do it in real life, its allowed.
Not allowed: writing. (A chimp could maybe learn to type a message on a computer, since I've heard of that, but not say, or dog or a tiger.) Animals just are not that intelligent.
So, if you want your pet whatever to have some unusual form of communication, you must prove that that kind of animal can also do it in real life.
Guidelines for Roleplaying.
Since most people here seem to like the most relaxed atmosphere, I would be reluctant to impose strict rules for roleplaying. I will say, however, that members are encouraged to put effort into their posts. Sometimes the situation calls for short posts, and that's fine. Not everyone here is an experianced player, and we won't hold that against you. Wanna make short posts? Fine, but you are encouraged to put more effort into it.
You may not simply make multiple short posts one after another. Use the edit function if you must.
All roleplay should be written in third person past tense. For example, if you were writing about your character Bob sitting on the beach; "Bob sat on the beach", would be correct. "Bob sits on the beach" or "I sat on the beach" would be incorrect.
Not everyone is a role play master though, and we all have to start somewhere. New RPers are encouraged to start off and pick it up as they go, again, there are no reprecussions for failing to make every single post a piece of roleplay art.
For now, I am leaving this open for discussion. If you have any questions about the rules, or something you feel needs to be added, feel free to post here

Name: the name of your character
Age: the age of your characters (all characters must be at least 18)
Gender: (male or female)
Appearance: a short description of your characters appearance
backstory: a description of your characters life so far (this can be just a few sentences)
Items: any noteworthy possessions your character has.
Your character should be original, and not obviously be based on a character from a different series. Try to avoid the usual cliches that make him/her a Mary Sue/Gary Stu.
Your character may be human or a merperson. Since this RP is based on the "main" HM series, and not the RF spin-off no other species are allowed.
As mentioned in the rules, magic is not allowed. Your character therefore cannot be a witch, wizard, possess magical items, etc.
If you want to add a picture to your bio, please post it as a link!
Post your bios here! Right in this thread!
Again, if you have questions/comments, feel free to ask!
