TEP Sandbox of Consent

No Explicit Sex Acts In Public Play/Archive
Specifically, no detailed or crude depictions of sex acts please. Its okay if characters kiss, caress, and things are sexy and sensual but no written porn. Personal scenes, those written in PR between players, cannot be added to the archive if they have explicit sex acts unless those are completely edited out. They really shouldn't be shared with anyone unless anything "porny" is edited out.

Players -must- consent to having their characters seduced, raped, or otherwise forced in non-consensual sex, even if the scenes fade to black and don't ever happen on panel. Please don't involve characters under the age of 12 in anything the least bit erotic; please don't write anything beyond "suggestive" with characters under the age of 16, even in private, not-for-archive play for the sake of the troupe's comfort zone.

Gory Details Okay
Any kind of gore or gross details you might find in any Steven King novel? That's fine to include in the scenes you are going to share and archive.

Slavery & Bondage?
TEP isn't going to have any kind of formal slavery system at the start of the chronicle. Any personal story arch with bdsm or torture elements would be up to the individual players. Anything to be shared/archived would need to meet the "no explicit sex act" tenet.

Social Discrimination/Bigotry
We picture "The Eden Project" as an attempt to create a mini-utopia by some kind of government, scientist group, billionaire collective. Social Discrimination/Bigotry isn't "supposed" to happen there. We want everyone to feel free to create stories where it does any way but is still not the norm. The baseline for ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc., equality should be post-modern progressive or better.

Satire Okay But No Sitcom
Basing characters off actual people is fine, just don't use their real names/identities. We don't want a lot of situational comedy or silly/farcical characters though. Think drama vs. comedy as tone.

Requested Features
Keep it ambiguous if the Eden Project is earth-based or a space colony. Its old enough that the living characters don't have memories of life outside of Eden. Make Eden maybe 100 square miles? Bigger than that but still, its small. It has some kind of 'wall' that non-people, non-predators can cross, some kind of sentinels like archangels but sci-fi not mythic. Make it mysterious but play up on certain Garden of Eden themes only not heavy handed Judeo-Christianity, more inclusive.
