Rookery Isles

Community Rules

The laws that bind the realm and the people in it.
Back to Server Rules & Policies

By participating in Rookery Isles, you agree to follow these rules.

Ignorance is not an excuse. These rules apply in the Discord server, in the sim, and anywhere else the Rookery Isles community exists. If you have questions, ask staff before you act, not after.

I Be Respectful & Kind

  • Treat everyone with courtesy and respect.
  • No harassment, bullying, hate speech, or discrimination of any kind.
  • Disagree with ideas, not people. Keep discussions civil.
  • Do not bring personal drama into public spaces.
  • Respect people's pronouns and identity.
  • What happens IC stays IC. Do not take roleplay conflicts personally.

II Keep It Appropriate

  • This community is 18+ only. No exceptions.
  • No NSFW content in public Discord channels.
  • No explicit sexual content, gore, or graphic imagery in general chat.
  • Keep memes and jokes respectful and in good taste.
  • Spoiler tag anything that might be sensitive or triggering.

III Discord Etiquette

  • Use channels for their intended purpose.
  • Do not spam messages, images, or mentions.
  • No advertising other servers or sims without permission.
  • Keep voice chat respectful. Do not talk over others or play loud audio.
  • No unsolicited DMs if someone has asked for space.
  • Read pinned messages in a channel before asking questions that are answered there.

IV Roleplay Standards

Rookery Isles is a collaborative storytelling community. The goal is to build scenes together, not to win them.

  • Paragraph RP preferred. Minimum 3 to 4 sentences per post.
  • No god-modding, meta-gaming, or power-playing.
  • Give others opportunities to respond and contribute to scenes.
  • Characters can fail and face consequences. That is the point. Embrace it.
  • Quality and genuine engagement matter more than post length.

V Content & Consent

Rookery Isles features mature themes. That does not mean anything goes.

  • Communicate boundaries before intense scenes.
  • Fade to black for sexual RP or move it to private spaces.
  • Major character consequences, including death, permanent injury, or long-term captivity, require OOC consent from all affected players.
  • It is always acceptable to say no or step away from a scene that makes you uncomfortable.
  • Respect others' comfort levels. No means no. That applies IC and OOC.

VI Combat & Conflict

  • Make sure you are wearing the Rookery HUD before any combat scene.
  • Roleplay combat narratively. Focus on storytelling, not winning.
  • Take hits. Show vulnerability. Let your character struggle. Nobody finds invincible characters interesting.
  • In conflicts, characters get hurt, scarred, and face lasting consequences. That is how stories work.
  • Discuss expectations before combat scenes when possible.

VII Character Guidelines

  • All characters must be adults, 18 or older, in appearance, stated age, and lore.
  • Characters must fit the high fantasy theme of Rookery Isles.
  • Powerful characters are welcome, but leave room for growth. A character with nowhere left to go has no story.
  • Register and submit your character at rookery.pro/rookeryisles.
  • No characters based on real people without that person's explicit consent.
  • After your character is approved, you cannot change their lore in RP without resubmitting an application. Changes must be approved by staff.

VIII Zero Tolerance Policies

The following result in an immediate permanent ban with no warning and no appeal process.

  • Any content sexualizing minors, real or fictional.
  • Sharing another person's private information without consent.
  • Real-world threats or encouragement of self-harm toward any person.
  • Scamming, phishing, or financial exploitation of community members.
  • Ban evasion or creating alternate accounts to continue harassing someone after a ban.

IX Using the Sim & Discord

  • Do not share invite links without permission.
  • No griefing, trolling, or intentionally disrupting other people's RP.
  • Report technical issues or griefers to staff. Do not try to handle it yourself in public.
  • Keep OOC chat in OOC areas and channels. If you need to go OOC mid-scene, use double brackets ((like this)).
  • Respect sim ratings and keep content in appropriate areas.

X The Spirit of Rookery Isles

We are a community of creative storytellers building an immersive fantasy world together. Whether your character is a hero, a villain, or something in between, we are here to support each other and create stories worth remembering.

The rules exist to protect that. They are not here to limit creativity. They are here to make sure the space stays good enough that everyone can create freely. Treat them that way.

Have fun. Be creative. Collaborate. The best stories are the ones nobody planned alone.

XI Moderation & Enforcement

  • Staff decisions are final, but concerns can always be raised privately and respectfully.
  • First offense: Usually a friendly warning and a conversation.
  • Repeated issues: Temporary suspension from Discord, the sim, or both.
  • Serious violations: Immediate ban.
  • Zero tolerance violations: Immediate permanent ban. No discussion.

XII Getting Help

  • Questions? Ask in #echo or contact Ashley or Liram directly.
  • New to RP? We have mentors available. Ask and we will connect you with someone.
  • Technical issues? Ask for help in the Discord.
  • Conflict with another player? DM a moderator privately. Do not air it in public channels.
  • We are here to help. Do not hesitate to reach out.
