Rules and Guidelines on 'Being in Character'
One of the fun aspects of this site is how we all get to choose a single character and write in chats and Roleplays as that character. However, the original Hetalia comics and the fandom fanfictions/art have used very... Colourful displays of certain characters. These rules are a guide to staying in character without violating any site rules.
1. Characters who are known to curse or swear excessively should have those choices of words censored out in the least. If possible, please use substitutes of some kind (such as an insult that isn't directly a swear, or an insult in the character's official language). If swearing is seen as unavoidable, as in the case of S. Italy and several others, please censor out all of the word.
2. Please substitute inappropriate (sexual) mentionings and the like with non-inappropriate flirting. If it helps, note that there is no real mention of innopropriate behavior in the real Hetalia (yes, even France has no hard core evidence of anything innopropriate, except teasing and flirting). If you really have to, in a Roleplay post you may simply do a time skip.
3. If another user mentions that your choice of words is making him or her uncomfortable (whether it be abiding by the rules stated above or not), please stop immediately. It is quite simply very rude and mean to continue.
