📜 Rules & Guidelines
To support immersive, respectful, lore-consistent storytelling, here are a few key expectations
🧭 Lore Consistency:
Creativity is encouraged—just keep it grounded in the tone and universe of SWTOR.
✅ Fan-made or non-canon content is welcome—as long as it aligns with the tone, technology, and atmosphere of the SWTOR universe.
❌ No crossovers from other franchises (e.g., Marvel, Mass Effect).
❌ Avoid modern anachronisms (e.g., smartphones, Earth references, real-world brands).
🛡️ Content Policy:
The Archive is a shared space—we aim to keep it inclusive, welcoming, and safe for everyone.
🚫 No hate speech, harassment, or inflammatory OOC behavior.
🚫 No graphic violence, sexually explicit content, or overt sexual themes.
⚠️ Mature themes like war, trauma, and loss are allowed when:
🔖 Clearly tagged.
🫱 Handled with care, respect, and thoughtful storytelling.
🖼️ Image Use:
Upload only images you have the right to use.
✅ Encouraged:
🎮 In-game screenshots.
🤖 AI-generated art (created by you, not traced from others).
🎨 Original fan art (yours or shared with the artist’s permission).
✍️ Credit artists where possible.
🚫 Please avoid uploading real-world photos or copyrighted promotional materials to keep our gallery immersive and safe.
🧾 Profile Authenticity:
Profiles must represent original, fictional characters rooted in the SWTOR setting.
🚫 Do not impersonate real people, celebrities, or other users.
🚫 Parody or troll profiles may be removed without warning.
✅ Reusing face claims is fine—just ensure their appearance fits the SWTOR era (e.g., no modern clothing or Earth-like settings).
🎭 Events & RP Etiquette:
When participating in live RP scenes:
✅ Respect the structure set by the event host.
💬 Keep OOC chatter minimal during active RP.
⏳Respect the scene’s pacing—collaborate and check in with others before steering the story.
🔐 Always establish boundaries before exploring sensitive themes. Use content warnings, and check in OOC to ensure all participants are informed and comfortable.
