 [color=#ffff00]Delta-V is a Medium Roleplay server. Try to immerse yourself into your character. This includes doing your job, interacting with your fellow crewmates, and using roleplay as the primary vessel to play the game. MRP places less emphasis on “winning” and more on just telling a story.[/color]

     - In-character names must fit the server standards of:
-        * Firstname Middlename Lastname
-        * Firstname Lastname
-        * Firstname
-        * any variation of the above utilizing hyphens (e.g. Jean-Pierre, Aoboshi-no-Onna, Withers-in-Valleys)
-        * Does not contain titles (e.g. Mr.; Mrs.)
-    - Your IC name must be realistic. Joke names and names of fictional or real people, or names playing off of them (e.g. Saul Badman.) are NOT ALLOWED.
-    - The only exception to the above two points is that theatrical roles like clown, boxer, and mime are allowed stage names with some freedom, as long as it is not obscene.

+        * Doesn't disturb roleplay

 [color=#a4885c]8.[/color] Follow Roleplay Guidelines
 - Treat your character as a separate entity from you, the player. Your character's actions, feelings, and knowledge in-game should be based solely on the character's experiences and not your own as the player. Low roleplay actions that have no regard for your character or the setting (Memes, silly copy paste spam IC) are not acceptable.
