Rules and Guidelines on Roleplaying Hetalia
This site is for two main purposes: chatting about Hetalia and Roleplaying about Hetalia. So naturally, Roleplaying Hetalia has some major rules that need to be reviewed and followed.
1. You may only play your own character. Other members may wish to add in as themselves, so taking their character is pretty mean. If you have an OC for a nation/region that Himaruya didn't mention, you may use them (given that no user claims the nonexistent character, of course). With this rule also comes the rule that there is to be absolutely no Powerplaying. No other user can control your character, and thus you may not control any other character than your own. However, this rule can be side-stepped if you want to quickly use a character for a post or two (and even then, the character can only be used if he or she is not being currently used as a username by anyone).
2. Please keep your Roleplaying threads in the correct places. So if you have an AU Hetalia Roleplay, please do not put it in the same board as all the classic Hetalia Roleplays (and vise versa).
3. If you are joining an AU Hetalia Roleplay and Himaruya gave no human name for your character, you may use whichever name you can come up with. However, we prefer if your created name was some popular name in that nation.
4. All Hetalia Roleplays must have some indicator of the level of how literate Roleplayer are expected to be. As mentioned in the Other Roleplaying rules, this can be anywhere on the topic post or in the title itself.
5. Characters are expected to at least loosely resemble that of Himaruya's design. You may change the characters slightly for the sake of the Roleplay (example: genderbending, etc.) or use popular Internet fan references (such as Ukraine's Internet human name 'Katyusha' or England as 'Iggy'), but the characters should still hold some resemblance to the personality and appearance of the original designs.
6. All general forum rules also apply to Hetalia Roleplaying.
