Please do not use ownership-level staff without permission. You may freely use commentators, interviewers, and your faction's NPC leader. Do not have your character attack any of the above without permission.
USING ANOTHER HANDLER'S CHARACTER
You must have permission from another handler to use their character in your roleplay. This includes members of your own faction. Use of another handler's character without permission, or using their character in a way that was not agreed upon after being given permission will result in forfeiture of your scheduled match.
POSTING YOUR ROLEPLAY
You may post your roleplay directly to the forum with BBCode or use an external site. We do not prefer one over the other and it will not impact the outcome of your match. If you need help with either method, reach out to management and we will be glad to help you.
KEYS TO SUCCESS
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY: There are no word limits in Miracle Galaxy Pro because we want every handler to have the freedom to express themselves and develop their characters to their maximum potential. However, we encourage quality over quantity and truly believe that 500 great words will beat 1000 good ones. Try new things, include original scenery, tell us a story. We do factor in spelling and grammar when comparing roleplay quality. You have a month, take a few minutes to read over your work or run spellcheck. It could save you in the end!
COLD OPEN: With a 1 RP limit, it is a requirement that you write your roleplay cold without replying to your opponent's previous post. While there's no word limit and Miracle Galaxy Pro is very lenient on the amount of match relevance you have to include, it's still unfair to use your opponent's material from the same cycle to spice up your own work and give you an advantage. [effective 5/1/23]
BEING IN CHARACTER: Your character is what you make it. We encourage you to be creative and try new things, but be consistent with your character's behavior or provide justification in your narrative for why something may cause them to act one way or another. Just because it's a created character doesn't mean you shouldn't have boundaries for how that character can/will act.
MATCH RELEVANCE: While you won't be jobbed out if you don't use 75% of your roleplay to talk about your match, you are expected to at least acknowledge that you have a match. You're on tour in Japan, your matches should hold some manner of importance. Tell your story but respect your opponent and the company enough to acknowledge them, even in passing.
RESULTS RELEVANCE: Great care is taken in finding ways to include your character in each set of results. If your character gets jumped backstage by a rival, mention it, play up the injuries or lack thereof, and make what happened to you relevant as part of your larger story. If something unrelated to your character happens but it's a big enough deal that your character would know about it, have your character mention it. Immerse yourself in the world of Miracle Galaxy Pro.
COMMON DECENCY: Comments directed at your opponent related to racism, homophobia, or sexual assault will not be tolerated and will result in forfeiture of your match and/or removal from the community. If you are confused about this and think your roleplay might violate this rule, please reach out to me before you post it and we can discuss whether or not your material is appropriate.
TALK TO ME: If you feel like you're missing something or you have questions at all about your performance, reach out to me. I'd be honored to have you reach out to me so that I can help you become the best roleplayer you can be.
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT ROLEPLAYS
You may post a Character Development Roleplay at any time. If you are NOT BOOKED at the time you post one, you will be rewarded with a dark match win on the pre-show over one of the enhancement talents. Character Development Roleplays DO NOT have to have match relevance. If you'd like to have an assigned dark match opponent to talk about for your CD, reach out to me and I'll give you an enhancement talent to RP against.
DEADLINE INFORMATION
The final roleplay deadline can be found on the card for each cycle. Please pay attention as the deadline may change from time to time as my posting availability may differ. The results deadline will be 72 hours after the final roleplay deadline to allow me time for any necessary rewrites due to no shows and to give you the best experience possible. [updated: 4/21/23]
COMMUNICATION
Real life happens. Most of us are adults. If you do not think you're going to get your roleplay up by the final deadline, please reach out and let me know. I won't take you off the roster just because something came up. If you no-show without communication, you will be removed from the roster. [updated: 6/2/23]
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out.
Thank you.
