vigilum vigilum is a faux-superhero community set in the fictional location of lawton, a thriving, sprawling city, and tourism hub with diverse neighborhoods, beaches and waterfronts, a nearby national park, amusement park and more appealing amenities for everyone from the single person to the family of five and more, there's something for everyone in lawton, including the people with powers, civilians and something between both. the existence of people with powers is known and generally accepted, instead of picking nyc or los angeles, we've decided to create our own city with various elements taken from other existing locations.

for all character/claim based rules, see here
the neighborhoods are here (WIP)

journals & set up: can be ic or ooc - whatever you have available. avoid lengthy uns, underscores and unnecessary numbers. when you apply you must have an ic and ooc post both up. we will delete your app if you apply without one of these visible to us. character limit we highly suggest two so that you can be properly active, three is the hard limit if you show activity with the first two.

required info: your out of character post must have some sort of character info in it. real name, alterego (you can keep this the same or change it from your claim), a link to the wikipage of your claim, date of birth and age, hometown, occupation if applicable. while we suggest having a blurb it is not required at this time to make the application process easier. we do reserve the right to request members in the future add one.

activity: we are busy! you are busy! we all live lives outside of rp which is why we only require you to post once a month. plots will be part of the background and in some cases, the backbone for those wishing to jump in from the community, but will always be optional for those not wishing to get involved so deeply in these events, we'll have smaller community events, ffas and plenty more ways to interact and connect as we grow together from player ideas and mod-presented ideas to future collaborations between ourselves and members.

we strive for transparency and involvement in a welcoming, friendly setting, with easy rules and a place to let your creativity flow, we welcome world building and ideas in equal measure, but if you're looking to break out of the slice of life setting and rub elbows with supers, then this is your place. always feel free to come to us with any questions, ideas, or suggestions.

we do not allow outside apps (wire, discord, etc) and encourage fp activity as much as customs, dating profiles are meant to be backdated in your own journal and will be linked in the extras journal only for those wishing to include that to their character's background, all other messaging apps are banned. we're all busy and encourage you to ask for a hiatus if necessary, but we're only requiring one update per month that's interactive and keeping your friend's list updated is crucial in a gpsl. we may do activity checks toward the end of the month, but encourage activity on the fp as often as you like. we'll be keeping track of intros, but as it's one post a month we ask for something a bit more substantial with effort involved that's more than a single instagram photo or song lyric.

removals, etc: we try to run a tight ship! when you join you have 24 hours to run the button and 72 hours to post an intro in the main community. if you have not run the button after being added within a day we will assume you are doa. we do removals on the last day of every month. if you have not dropped off your activity (intros do not need dropped off) by then you will be removed please don't expect us to see it and remember come removal time.
