“Unto Britannia,” The Untold Stories, was created to provide a friendly and literate environment for people to enjoy creative writing and roleplaying with one another in a historical setting. “Unto Britannia” is an alternate historical reality, text-based, roleplaying area based upon King Arthur (2004) movie. While we don't expect people to know everything about the movie, it is best to be familiar with it as it is the basis for our play; though we will alter it to suit our universe.
Be advised, while play does occur in AOL and AIM-friendly chats, we all know Real Life (RL) is a priority and agree this is an important factor in our daily routine. Though play does occur in chatrooms and IMs, it may be necessary to continue a storyline (SL) through email or board based activity. Before entering a particular SL, check with the people you are playing with and allow them the option available for yourself.
Also, while we do not expect people to write novels, we would like people to put effort behind what they do in the community. Therefore we ask that you submit an application in order to join.
REMEMBER: Due to the content in many stories in UB and the prevention of ToS, You must be 18+ in order to join the SL as a standing member.
Before you submit an application, I ask you to please read the rules, become familiar with the canon characters and the story overview as found in the Joining Section.
Then take a look at our Play-By Page , to make sure your Play-By (PB) choice is not already in use.
In your application, we ask you provide:
Out-Of-Character (OOC) Information:
Screen Name (SN):
Preferred OOC Nickname, if any:
Time Zone or Country:
Play by (Celebrity/Model) name:
# of years in RP: (New, mature individuals welcome…. If you are new to roleplay and are desiring to learn, please contact the MOD.))
Have you read and can comply with our guidelines, both OOC and IC?:
As for character ideas, there are CANONs available for use or you can bring one of your characters, or an NPC, to life? And if so, do you agree with the rights to such character retained by the MODs? : (The reason for this is simple. Your character may well become influential in the community, then you may be required to succumb to Real Life and not be able to play that character, being a real disservice to the community and other players.)
Please provide a photo, painting, or digital representation, if available, in body of the email.
