| about the community |
| MARVEL U we are a laid back Marvel gpsl that’s set in the state of New York. We encourage building relationships and interaction. Our role as mods is to provide a welcoming, friendly atmosphere for you to explore facets of your character. We enthusiastically welcome all interpretations of the cast of characters that Stan Lee and Jack Kirby have given us over the years. We will not accept white-washing of any POC characters, if you have an issue finding an appropriate pb for a POC, let the mods know, and they will help to the best of their ability! As a college gpsl, we focus on the lives, loves, and pitfalls of the students. |
want to join? |
| To join, you’ll first need a journal. We request that your journal name doesn’t contain excessive characters, like extra letters, numbers, or underscores, although we welcome both ooc and ic names! You’ll need an ic contact, ooc contact, and an informational post about your character, although the order and content are largely up to you. We don’t require examples, but we ask that you give roughly 5 detailed bullet points about your character, or a three paragraph bio. Once you have a journal, you can apply! Simply place a hold on the pb/character of your choice and fill out our application! All characters and pbs must be at least 18 years of age. We have an ic age cap of 28, and your pb should be within 5 years of the character’s age. While we welcome all pbs, if the mods cannot find resources for your pbs, they may reach out and ask for some appropriate sources. We highly encourage our players to use PBs different from those that were used in the live action adaptations of them! As a good number of these characters are aged down, in some instances it simply makes more sense for a character to be recast, and while we don't prohibit users from using younger icons of established faces (such as a younger RDJ for Tony Stark), we'd much prefer having new faces! PBs/characters can be held for 5 days, with one extension of 3 days, after which the hold is dropped. Applications and holds are first come, first serve. There is a two character limit. We ask that when playing more than one character, please consider a degree of separation between the two. If you’re concerned that your characters may interact frequently, feel free to to contact the mods and they will help you decide! |

| Activity checks will be at the end of the month. Activity should be turned in to the activity tracker by 11:59 PM EST on the last day of the month. If activity is missed, the mods will contact you to see if you are still intersted. If you need more time, or are unable to fulfill activity, please let us know! Similarly, if you need a hiatus, just ask! Please keep your friends list updated! In addition to keeping your friends list updated, you are required to submit two forms of activity from the following list: Ø Your initial character introduction counts towards activity. Comments must be replied to.Neither group activities or group scenes are mandatory, and are entirely optional, but always encouraged! |
etc, etc, etc |
| MARVEL U has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to ic/ooc crossing and harassment. If the mods have determined that you engaged in either, your character/s will be removed immediately, and you will not be allowed back. To deter harassment, we suggest that you turn off anonymous comments, and friends-lock your entries. Please tag your nsfw posts, and put them behind a cut. We aslso ask you to please tag sensitive or triggering content. The school faculty and administrators are npc only at this point, though if any character is wanted, just let us know, we will discuss with you, and find a replacement face for the faculty member. |
