Welcome to our front desk, dear guest!
Please peruse the options above for quick and easy navigation through Vestigium Vereor’s offerings. We heavily suggest that you acquaint yourself with the hotel’s rules before you make any decisions you may come to regret~!
All guests must be adults.
All players must be 20+ in order to join our server. Due to past issues and concerns regarding the inclusion, discussion and participation with NSFW content (and minors sneaking into our space), we require an ID check before you’re allowed to join the server.
You will be able to access the server’s lore, masterlist, etc. before joining, but you can’t participate until we have confirmation via a heavily censored ID that displays your DOB (following the instructions given in the age verification policy section).
While we will allow people to write minor characters, please note that the depictions of those children will be scrutinized by staff. Aged up characters (that are minors in their media’s current timeline) and minor characters overall cannot participate in the NSFW chat rooms or be active in any sex-related threads, nor be mentioned within any of them.
Please note that any final decisions on this are final on Staff’s part, especially if we feel like certain characters would be risky to include in NSFW content—both for our own comfort and that of our members.
Respect, Hate Speech & Slurs
Respect is key. Hate speech, homophobia, sexism, ect. will not be tolerated on the server at any point. Slurs are also banned in their entirety.
Keep the experience free of stress for others please!
Our server will not have any kind of venting channels, nor will it allow for discussions about religion, politics, or current world events.
This RP server is meant to be a relaxed space to just write and escape the world we’re currently living in, so we would heavily prefer to keep all of that out for the comfort of our members. Bringing these things up is not a bannable offense on its own, but repeated rule breaking will result in consequences.
We also ask that members exercise caution and awareness when discussing sensitive topics on the server, and tag mentions of them accordingly.
Drama & Instigation
We ask that members please not discuss past server drama in the server’s OOC channels. Whether it be drama relating to them, or other spaces, please keep it out of our space! We’ve found discussions like that often do more harm than good and while we want to be a safe space for people to write and hang out in, we do not want to flood our server with discussion of issues that may make members both old and new uncomfortable.
If you wish to discuss any issues you have with a member in our server, please reach out to us via ticket. Do not start fights in public, nor fuel any arguments that may erupt around you. Let the staff handle it.
Any instances of disrespect being shown to the staff of the server (i.e, calling us slurs, insulting us, or otherwise being rude) over us enforcing the rules written in this doc will not be tolerated, and the person(s) instigating will be banned immediately.
NSFW Policy
All NSFW content (including images, conversations and especially roleplay) must be kept to the NSFW section of the server. This section is opt-in per member, and obviously those who haven’t been verified cannot access this like the rest of the server.
As stated before, we hold the right to deny the use of NSFW spaces if we deem any character in the server to be unfit to participate in it. This mostly applies to:
- Characters who have been aged up, but continue to be minors in the current timeline of their source material.
- If there ISN'T a CANON mention of the character's future life post-plot, or any canon media in which they are explicitly depicted as older than when they originally released—they MUST be NSFW-locked even if they've been aged up in the roleplay's setting.
- Characters who physically present as children, even if they are canonically older than they look.
- Characters with predominantly animal (meaning feral, not anthropomorphic) features.
- This also applies to characters who cannot realistically consent due to the way they behave or perceive things.
- Characters who are minors and are being played as such.
If you want to appeal about any such decision, please open a ticket if you feel we’re missing important canonical context. Chances are we will not change our minds if any of the prior boxes are checked, though.
Contracts take time to print!
While the server won’t have a set character limit, we will enforce a cooldown period for submissions after your first three characters. The cooldown will be of five days between submissions and drops.
OCs are permitted.
You may write your own original characters. We ask that you please tag them as such in their submission post!
Age Verification Time Limit
If you fail to verify your age in a 24 hour period, you will be removed from the server. While you are free to rejoin, please note that if you do not verify your age (or outright refuse to verify), you will likely be banned. We remove members who do not verify to prevent scammers from sitting in the server and using VV to contact people.
Need help ASAP? Use a ticket!
Our ticketing system allows members to contact our staff privately, and pings the owners and admins for quick responses! We still request your patience, though!
Rule Revision Policy
Please note that these rules are all subject to change at our discretion. If anything needs a revision, it will be properly announced in our updates channel so members can be made aware.
Etiquette
Please do not godmod, powerplay or metagame on the server. Communicate with your RP partners, and the rest of the players on the server. If you’re uncomfortable with something, please bring it up in a kind way! Things can be fixed if they’re talked about in time.
On that note, please do not force people into any sort of ships nor dynamics. Check in with people before making OCs related to their characters, or before establishing any familial bonds between OCs and/or canons that aren’t your own.
Overall, please do reach out to staff if you have ideas relating to big overarching plot threads; stuff that would affect a lot if not most of the characters present in the roleplay. That way we can avoid people being surprised by plots they don’t know anything about and a discussion can be opened about them.
Don’t be afraid to reach out to staff about how events and overarching plots are handled! If you don’t talk to us, we can’t help you to improve the server. All that we ask is that any suggestions are offered in a non-aggressive manner. In short: mutual respect and communication go a long way, and we’re all adults here.
Inactivity Notices
We have a channel dedicated to player hiatuses or absences; please use it! Especially if you feel like you’re unable to be around for an extended period of time!
For the time being we do not plan to hold activity checks, but we will check in with players who become inactive for extended periods of time. For instance, we expect to see both IC and OOC activity even if it’s small or not thread related. That way we can prevent the server from stagnating without having a strict activity check system. Not to mention; again, we’re all old and our backs hurt—jobs are a pain in the ass and so is life. We don’t expect people to be slaves to their RP hobby.
If you go radio silent for more than three or so weeks without any sort of warning, you will be listed down as inactive. If a full 30 days pass without any kind of communication, we will remove your characters from the roster and give you a spectator role.
Thread/Forum Etiquette
Do not join, tamper or type into roleplay forums/threads that aren’t yours. Always check the tags in the forums to make sure things are open, but always ask people before jumping into something to prevent other players from being blindsided!
Fandom Etiquette
We will not tolerate people bullying each other over their fandoms or muses. If someone is writing a character you do not like, or from a fandom you don’t like, simply ignore or block that person. Avoid interacting with them in the public channels, or even give them a chance to interact IC. Not everyone plays characters 100% the same to canon, and in the case of certain muses this can be for the better.
The same applies for ships, preferred dynamics, ect. If you do not like something, simply do not engage with it. Of course, there are certain things which are not permitted in the server for the comfort of our members. In the case of those topics (found in the channel meant to accept the opt-in NSFW role), please open a ticket and reach out to staff. We will handle any conversations in regard to keeping uncomfortable content out of the server.
Proshipping, or any kind of excuses for writing out illegal or immoral ships, will not be tolerated here and are simply not welcome in the server.
AUs, Doubles, Multiple Timelines
While the lore of the Vestigium Vereor makes it technically feasible for characters to encounter copies of each other or otherwise have several multiverses cross, we prefer to have discussions about this sort of thing happen among the people involved before any decisions are made.
In short, doubles must firstly be approved by the original applicant of the character someone wants to write a double for. If they do not want a double of their canon character running around, you cannot submit them.
Secondly, doubles need to be distinct from the originally applied for character. Be it physically or in terms of their history; alternate actions taken leading to differing personalities, morals, experiences, knowledge, ect. You cannot write a carbon copy of the originally posted canon character, since it would be redundant.
Alternate universe (AU) versions of canon characters need to be discussed with staff. We would generally prefer to avoid heavy AUs since they can be disruptive with canon content and make verification of submissions more complicated for us.
Depending on what the AU is, however, we may allow it. We just ask that you communicate with us about any such things so we know what we’re accepting into the server.
However, when it comes to things like sexuality or certain headcanons, we will not treat those things as AU or noncanon—as we consider them to be part of everyone’s personal choices in how they depict certain muses.
Are you open for Partnerships?
Yes! We are.
However, please remember we:
- Only partner with 18+ servers.
- Will not accept NSFW-focused servers for partnerships.
- Will not ping our whole server about your partnership, you will get a dedicated forum channel instead.
- Only partner with other roleplay servers that are actual RP spaces, not hubs.
Age Verification Policy
For reasons of comfort and us wanting to avoid dealing with minors sneaking into the server, we will ask that everyone that joins us please verify their age via the use of ID, or any other relevant government document. The instructions for this are as follows:
- Censor any and all sensitive information that isn’t your date of birth. We do not want your ID number, and you’re not obligated to face reveal if you don’t want to. All staff needs is an image of a physical ID card.
- We will not accept ID verification using digital IDs. We cannot verify the ID is real and not just plucked off the internet.
- You need to include, in the same picture as the ID/document itself, a piece of paper with your discord username and the server’s name written on it. Since we don’t require a face reveal, this is the second best thing to ensure the ID pictured is real and belongs to the human behind the screen.
- For the same reason as cited above, you can’t add your username and the server name using digital programs onto the picture, because it defeats the purpose of those things being required to begin with.
- The ID must be posted into a private ticket with staff upon joining, and once this is done, you will be granted access to the server itself. Please don’t post your ID into the greetings channel.
We want to be clear that the age verification process is non-negotiable. We’ve been in, and ran, servers which had a big volume of minors lying about their age in order to enter adult spaces. Usually in order to participate in activities they should not be. Unfortunately, this has led us to taking a more strict approach to age gating.
All this to say that if you do not verify, you can’t join us.
