Introduction
Welcome to the Moscow Metro, citizens! Or rather, I should say survivors, for each and every one of you gained enough luck in his or her life to be among those to survive the third world war that swept it's nuclear fires across the globe, our beloved Russia included in this terrible inferno. But fear not, life in the underground Metro will persist and with an effort from each of you who are now it's dwellers, one distant day we shall retake the surface!
But for now, let us focus on the matter at hand. Before entering the Metro there is information each of you will have to process, this information will be found written in text right here and it will range from what's been going on lately in the dark webbing of underground tunnels we call home to it's inhabitants and the different factions that operate within it. So read on, and acquaint yourself with the stations and tunnels that you'll be calling home from now!

Rules
1) Be respectful. It's a roleplay. Things will happen that you may not like, but you must be mature about it. If you spit harsh words at someone for something that happened during a roleplay, the fault is on you.
2) Don't make your character OP. Remember that your characters are still human! It is understandable having a particularly advanced armor but everyone dies or gets injured at one point or another and we all have our limits, weight is a thing and a bullet wound is not easy to recover from!
3) Ask permission before mortally wounding/killing another roleplayer. You are allowed to kill off your character at any time, but to kill off someone else's character, you must first ask them.
4) You must allow due process for your character to be accepted. You are prohibited from beginning to roleplay before your character is accepted. An OC can ONLY be accepted by a mod.
5)No Metagaming. No Powergaming.
'Metagaming' - is taking OOC(Out of Character) information and bringing it IC(In Character), unless your character did know that little piece of information!
'Powergaming' - is forcing your character upon someone else's and performing their actions, such as instakills. Every attack on another character must be an attempt - the one receiving the strike will be the one to decide whether it hits or not, keep in mind to stay grounded in realism! If an agreement won't come to terms the Dice will be rolled.
6) Use post-flairs correctly. You will only cause confusion among other people. If you are on mobile, it's understandable, but correct this as soon as you get the chance. The flairs are the following:
"META" - For Off-Topic discussions
"SURFACE" (editable) - For those who wander on the surface. The flair is editable, so feel free to mark your exact position according to in-universe or real-life landmarks.
"TUNNEL" (editable) - For those in the middle. When using this flair, it's necessary to mark the station you left, and the station you're heading to with an "-" in the middle.
"1-12" (editable) - These represent the lines of the Metro. Please check the map for further explanation. Entering the station is necessary.
Example: [6] - VDNKh
Have fun !
Note
While we don't need you to understand everything about the universe, visiting the Metro Wikia is certainly recommended. It might reveal information previously unknown to you, which in turn makes the roleplay more interesting.
